My main issue is that I haven&#8217;t properly started on the minigames yet. I have greyboxed them, but within the time limits, I&#8217;m not sure how to add these features. Right now, I am thinking of simplifying one feature so I can pay more attention to the other. Papercutting is going to be cut out of the game at this point, but not completely shut out. Hopefully, there will be an NPC that alludes to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If I were to simplify a mechanic, it would be braiding, as it is harder to code. Body Painting is something I think I can do, as I&#8217;ve seen a few tutorials that may help me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50 is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background has-large-font-size has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/ea3g23\/2026\/03\/10\/sprint-3-title-pending\/\"><strong>Last Sprint<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50 is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-cool-to-warm-spectrum-gradient-background has-background has-large-font-size has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/ea3g23\/2026\/04\/24\/sprint-5-another-visual-overhaul-start-screen-more-art-added-fixing-stuff-%f0%9f%9b%a0%ef%b8%8f\/\"><strong>Next Sprint<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udfe2 Priorities \ud83d\udfe0 Necessary but not urgent right now \ud83d\udd34 Style Points (Add if everything gets done on time or if it is very simple to code) Week 7, Week 8 &amp; Week 9 (30\/03\/2026 &#8211; 19\/04\/2026) 4th Sprint Playtest I got another person I know outside the course to test the game.
