Message Box & Choice Box (Donovan's Week 6 Update)

Before I started working on the message box and choice box, we sat down and decided to choose an overall colour scheme for our visual novel. We finally decided to go with different shades of purple because of the School of Infocomm & Technology sharing the same colour scheme. I did not expect the colours to fit so perfectly into our scene. It really looks like our design is slowly starting to replace the placeholders, making our visual novel more original than it used to be.

There are some issues I am facing now with the Choice Box though. Firstly, I could not find a way to change the text colour so it is a black text clashing with a purple box. It is slightly jarring to look at and I'm still finding a way to change the colour. Next, when the Choice Box is being hovered, the Image of the Choice Box when hovering is anchoring at the top left instead of the center. This makes the transition slightly weird and not centralized where it should be. I am also still trying to solve this.

While I'm still trying to find free-licensed music that fits the atmosphere better than the music provided by the software, Hai Yun and Hussaini has finished some of their drafts for the character designs and background designs. I plan to help Hai Yun create the Menu Screen, Save Screen, Load Screen and Game Title Screen next week.

These screens may take about 2 weeks or more to be created so progress may be a bit slow for the next weeks. However, I'll definitely try to keep track of our pacing. I also predict I may face some issues with placing the hotspots in these screens so if that's the case, I would not delay any more time and start finishing Chapter 2.
