Progress update - January (Patreon)

Hi guys! Here's a progress update on the next release. I'm currently working on Mia's scene, continuing what happened after the end of v0.3.5.

(if this one looks a little wonky it's because I had to draw the backgrounds in full, I couldn't model and render them this time).

This scene is taking me a little longer than I expected, if I used normal sprites for this scene it just wouldn't cut it, it would feel cheap and I don't know if I could convey the emotions that this scene demands.

The other scene in this update is for Rea, since both of these scenes are quite complex I'm going to limit myself to these two for now, it doesn't necessarily mean less content, it's just that I want to focus the production on these scenes because they need a lot of work. That's why I'm not going to do the character poll for this update, if I add 2 more scenes the development time will increase and I really want to stay with the schedule this time.

One of the things I was planning to do to release this update sooner (at least part of it) was to release a "draft version" earlier, with most of the story and programming ready, using the drafts(like the pic above) to complete the visuals (without animations).

It would be a patreon-only release, not because of the money, but because honestly I'm not too happy about people playing an unfinished version of the game, especially this one as it's really plot heavy, so it's better if it's not public. I may release one with all the visuals ready but without the animations so you guys can play and test it first. I haven't decided yet, so please let me know what you guys think about it... if you would be interested in something like that or not.

Anyway, that's all for now, I plan to post a sneak peek before the end of the month too, so stay tuned!
