Backgrounds
I've succeeded in finishing up the backgrounds on time... for the most part—there are a few that will require special sprites and I'm waiting until the normal ones are done before working on these. Those are ones where Sullivan sits across from Sam—the diner, the restaurant, and one of the bowling alley BGs.

Next Step
I can start major editing. I'll be going through my notes and fixing some stuff up, doing several passes to find stuff that needs expanded and stuff that needs cut, as well as making checks for character and lore consistency, and seeing what pieces of internal narration can be reworked into actual dialogue. I'll also use this time to compile a list of necessary sprites.

Here's a nighttime screenshot.
The font isn't final—I don't like that the "c" looks too close to "o" and I want the text to be as legible as possible. I'll have to find a new one soon that looks good.
