Otherworld and Aftermath Progress Updates (And a general update)

Okay! Fantastic news, everybody! I've made progress in both Otherworld and Aftermath: Gears of Hope!

Aftermath: Gears of Hope:

PROGRESS:
Finished up more area design
Added a build, version and update number (thanks, Vlue!)
Began adding shops
Began adding music
Began adding more students
Added some basic custom move routes
Began adding functionality to the in-game internet
Began adding charge-up stations
Updated the tilesets for better environments
Added an actual function to the school exterior
Gave up on the "choose your gender" thing - the protagonist is now gender-neutral
Custom pause menu (thanks, Shiggy!)
Custom startup menu
Opening sequence
Custom windowskin (thanks, Raymi!)

SETBACKS:
Still no funny remarks from students if you share their name
Quests have been completely removed and will be replaced at some point
Student groups don't move together
Standing on walls is a thing under certain circumstances
Several areas of the game have yet to be functional or even exist
I can't figure out how to make the security cameras work

YET TO BE IMPLEMENTED:
Teachers
More students
Clubs
Shop functionality
More on-campus housing
Most internet functions
Security camera functionality
Quests
Friendship
Reputation
Suspicion
Actual dialogue
Better move routes
Books/journals/etc.
Card functionality
More music
Better school uniforms
Minigames
Robotic actions
Student functionality
Class functionality
Contact with the other robohumans
Information functionality
Information in general
Journal system
Better protagonist sprite
Pets
Pet functionality
Anti-lag script
Character busts

So, all-in-all, my progress is minor, but it's more than I originally had, which was almost nothing. Yay me?

Otherworld:

PROGRESS:
Fixed the game-breaking glitch
Added a new area
Added more antagonists
Redid some rather terrible dialogue
Added new items and armours
Redid some areas
Custom windowskin (thanks, Raymi!)

SETBACKS:
Every time I try to work on the game, something happens that prevents me from doing so

YET TO BE IMPLEMENTED:
More areas
More antagonists
More items and armours
More weapons (probably)
A boss battle that poses some sort of difficulty
Puzzles
More mazes
Most of the game, in general

Again, no actual substantial progress, but I'm getting there. I'm going at a snail's pace, but I'm getting there.

GENERAL UPDATE
All of my "wave one" games will have basic VX Ace chibi sprites, except for Nightwatch Nightmares: Act 1 and Aftermath: Gears of Hope. After that, most of my games will feature MACK sprites. If you have any ideas on how to help with anything in the "YET TO BE IMPLEMENTED" sections, let me know! There are a few things I won't accept help on, but those are few and far between.
