[4] The Apple Arcade deadline pushed the development team to tie up loose ends and finish the game.

[4] Adam noted that the game went from 90% completion to 80% due to the pushed-up deadline, but that the team were able to finish the project with minimal sacrifices.

At this stage, PNGs of these static poses were added to the Unity project with a 'bobbing' effect to give a feel of movement within the scene's dialogue.

Designed by Tom Vian for the 2012 game Detective Grimoire: Secret of the Swamp, FlAn exporter was used to save Flash files as PNGs, which through the TexturePacker tool were all placed into one spritesheet.

Tom created a tool using Unity's timelines that allowed Adam to type dialogue and choose poses from a list to perform the text straight-away.

As an example, Fitz Fellow originally wore red opaque glasses, but after the voice acting tests were made, the team wished to make him more sympathetic and vulnerable, subsequently removing them.
