Quick Update! Pool for Next alpha workload results.

So, you guys know that Tier 3+ patrons can vote on what they want to be on the next alpha, right? When an option can take more than one month to be done I tend to warn them too. This month the decision you guys voted the most was for me to read all of the last four days within Wanger's routes and update them with the new animations.

For those who don't know yet, the game features some new animations besides the "shake", and "Walk-in/out" animations now, such as three levels of Jump and a Zoom-in/out for when the character gets closer to Aiden during a scene.  There are other animations I want to add to the game eventually but those are the most important ones.


Oh, and about blinking eyes animations, those would be tricky. After talking with the artist, since each expression changes way too much of the face, I would have to create more than one animation and keep changing them every time an expression is called in the game. Since this means a lot of work for something so simple, I decided to ask the artist for new backgrounds, the game still needs a lot of them, there are some scenes that he'll make some sketches for me, Karnal has a cutscene on the bar on JSON.Day3 which is Day 4 in-game, while Wagner has a cutscene on the Tennis Court below a tree with Aiden on JSON.Day4 which is Day5 in-game. 


Remember, in any programming language, we always start from Zero, not One, so Day 1 in-game is JSON.Day0 on the files. Whenever I say JSON.Day I'm referring to the files where all the dialogues are stored, you just add one to the day and you'll get the day in-game. 



So, for the next alpha instead of having a new part for Wagner on Day 5, I'll be focusing on reading all the previous days and see where it would fit better to have the new animations. This will consume a lot of time actually since this is not a book, my software is awesomely good to find dialogues and fix them, but read them one on one? It'll take some clicking and patience. I'm also going to keep track of how many routes and dialogues per JSON.File will be updated for Wagner and add that info on the Changelog. 


If I get some extra time I'll also check the Suggestions for dialogues correction you guys sent me if there's any, if the suggestions are valid the name of the patron who gave that suggestion will be added to a new section on the credits, and the number of dialogues fixed by his suggestions will be added after his name, so if you want some highlight on your name there you can always report weird dialogue. Remember, English is not my native language, even if I use Grammarly to help me with typos, sometimes Grammarly will freak out and give the worst possible correction for no reason and I'm not aware of that (because sometimes I'm just sleepy or super tired), or I simply don't phrase things correctly, and I appreciate you guys supporting me in that way too.


Tier 3 patrons also are receiving now a small scrip with the text I've written for the route on that month but since this month I'll be checking on the older routes, that reward will be added on the next month only.


I'll try to finish my work by day 25, but in the worst-case scenario, I'll be uploading the alpha on day 28. 


Anyway guys, thank you all so much for your support and patience. You guys have no idea how much you help me by sticking here with me and giving me your support, no matter how little it is. So, again, thank you all for your support, and I'll see you all soon!
