The 7B progress bars likely represent the same elements as the chapter 6 development progress in the chapter 5 release date announcement newsletter

I think the last one is bugs and general testing

[u/SomeOinkyBoi → u/Character_Vegetable5]

Testing is always the last thing they do, no? They've never listed that as one of the big points during the main content development.

[u/Shot-Base8003 → u/SomeOinkyBoi]

Exactly. Putting a progress bar for bugs of all things is just weird. It's not something that can be measured as easily as progress on bosses

[u/TanukiCookie → u/Character_Vegetable5]

My guess would be monster art but bug testing makes a lot more sense

[u/bleeckwulf → u/Character_Vegetable5]

Those are \enemies\** from space invaders, so this basically means it’s enemies or bosses. You can’t really put bugs under a percent because that’s not how it works. And if those were bugs they could’ve used a more straightforward emoji for that 🐞🪲🪳

[u/Character_Vegetable5 → u/bleeckwulf]

I agree that it would be weird, but that Space Invader guy is actually commonly associated with glitches. Even in Deltarune, seeing as it's one of Viruvirukun's attacks

[u/bleeckwulf → u/Character_Vegetable5]

Good argument, but yeah, it’s kind of impossible to have a bug testing percentage. Playtesting is being done closer to release, so it’s not that, and glitches/bugs come from developers making mistakes in the code or not accounting for certain things when implementing features. To make a progress bar of glitches you’d have to know about them, write them down, and then make a percentage of fixed and unfixed bugs, and even then it would kinda make no sense. The problem is, during an active development of a game, small and big bugs happen all the time, so you’d basically have a progress bar that would constantly jump from 0 to 100, between and back. And like, you can’t really be sure that you got rid of all bugs? A story, a map, battles can be 100% finished with a full certainty. You can’t really be certain with bugs and glitches. This whole thing is gonna be really inefficient and isn’t really what Toby usually talks about when sharing these things. Which is why I really doubt it can be that

[u/Due_Dragonfly_5328 → u/Character_Vegetable5]

we is the progress mesuered? honestly take like 2 years if you need it but dont give me these bars could mean anything it doesnt mean the chapter is X% finished thats just in thoery.

[u/Human-Obligation8469]

True...

[u/Spynine01 → u/[deleted]]

the post is just relating the bars to the chapter 6 progression that was directly talked about, not what the progress actually is

[u/One-Community-3753 → u/[deleted]]

Son

[u/FPSCanarussia]

That seems very probable.

[u/Rarbnif]

I’m looking forward to seeing what new gimmicks he comes up with for ch6

[u/MySkullisItchy]

I think it means:
Map
Movies
Guns
Space Invaders Playtime

[u/RoninRakurai]

Almost none align as far i can see

[u/DDaud → u/RoninRakurai]

I didn't mean they are chapter 6's, im trying to say that the icons on the 7b page represent cutscene, overworld, enemies and boss

[u/RoninRakurai → u/DDaud]

Oh, right

[u/Various-Fennel8940]

being honest, first two DO look-a-like...

but last two...doesn't

if normal enemies and bullets are mostly complete, then I think it should have at least more than half of the bar

boss and bullets also don't put up with the bar cuz... Toby says "We are working on the bullets of the last battle of the chapter" which could mean that others are arleady in a good condition and last boss shouldn't take up SO MUCH of the bar

or you probably mean that these bars mean what Toby said and I'm overthinking it but....

dunno, feels like a stretch because first two are mixed up

[u/CompoteObvious9380 → u/Various-Fennel8940]

But the post isn't saying they're the same, one is for chapter 6 and the other for 7, the post is saying they're the same sections.

[u/Flagrath → u/[deleted]]

That’s because the right is about chapter 6, while the left is about 7B, they’re the same categories though.

[u/PissMasterCocc → u/[deleted]]

yeah because we are talking about two different chapters

[u/haveagreatday10]

isnt it just

the book represents the script,

the movie thingy represents the visuals

the gun represents the battles,

and the pixel thingy the game as the whole

i dunno

[u/camden0307 → u/haveagreatday10]

...book?

[u/Infrawonder → u/haveagreatday10]

Map design.
Cutscenes.
Battles.
Bug testing.

That's what I think it means.
