So one of the things I wanted to go over really quick is what got done during the last two weeks. I've implemented some substantial cosmetic changes and I think you'll like the results.
- Two extra tracks were added to the soundtrack
- The end credits now scroll and contain clickable links for your convenience at hunting down any resources I used.
- I'm knee-deep into adding animated affects to most of the backgrounds.
- Implementing some more of Ren'Py's nvl mode to clear up speaker dialog/thoughts
- Added some juicy parallax to Mori's cg
- Some new backgrounds were added
And the biggest thing I've been wrangling the last two weeks is a more in-depth character creation process for the player.
This "character creation" process serves a few purposes. First, players will enter their character names and choose their pronouns before the story even begins and that will clear up some clarity issues in the UI. Secondly, I'm adding a "body type" selection for players. This will let you choose what body type you'd like your MC to have during the explicit sex scenes towards the end of the chapter. Below is a frills-free prototype of the three screens players will see before the story begins. (Don't worry, I will make them much prettier in due course!)
One of the things I want to be transparent about is that I did reach out to a number of people for suggestions and feedback on wording. What I have now seems to be a happy middle ground, where people from many different backgrounds and identities were approving. (I can list where I checked in/who gave feedback, if that's something anyone's interested in, I'm all about transparency). That being said, I'm still very much interested in feedback so if you have anything, please let me know. :)
And coming off that, my last topic for this update is my "vision" for Patrons, especially the upper tier levels. Since each character is getting their own "introduction" episode I want that to be an opportunity for patrons (in particular) to let me know what they liked and didn't like about that character so that I can adjust and edit or even potentially scrap. So as we near Mori's finalized Intro Chapter being completed, just make a couple mental notes about what kinds of things you'd like to see out of his full story.
ANYWAY! That's about it from me, thanks yall for your patience this week while I was out of town! The Discord is probably still one of the fastest ways to get ahold of me and we've got a growing crew of very nice people in there so be sure to pop in and say hi!
