Hello, amazing supporters! Time for another update!
Just a quick check-in so you're not left hanging, I'm still grinding on the stuff from last time: getting those UI windows up and running, updating the day/night transitions across all maps, and wrapping up NPC routines.
My new coder's helping me out with a lot of backstage stuff and also kicked off the character creation system, which I'm pumped about, hoping to share some previews soon!
Iwbitu and I are already prepping multiple skin tones for the new scene to tie in with this system:

To keep it simple we're just going with:
Pale skin
Tanned skin
Darker skin
Previously we also had feminine and masculine hands but we're opting into making them more unisex looking from now on. This will make it easier on the artist, animator and me since there will be less variables to setup but hopefully can still help everyone self-insert =w=
Liza's first scene is all wrapped up and is being animated right now, here's a sneak peek frame:

Pellet managed to win in the last poll over Blix (come on, gobbo enjoyers you need to work harder...), so her scene's already being sketched out:

The status menu's currently being sketched out as well:

This build should be the last one fully focused on sandbox mechanics, so I can dive straight into more prologue content and give you guys the rest of the story and more scenes ASAP.
Still no ETA on any of this, but I'm pushing to get it done quick!
Thatβs all for now!
Thank you all so much for your patience and support! π
