Work in Progress Log #1 (Patreon)

In this kind of posts, I'll write everything noticeable about what was done since the previous week or what I'm currently working on. Sometimes (like this time), I'll need your help to figure out how to improve some things.

Schedule of Game & WIP updates.

To begin with, I'd like to tell you about updating schedlue. These "WIP Log" posts will be weekly, and game updates will be at least monthly. (Hotfixes won't be counted as a monthly update and will be released to everyone at the same time to fix all problems ASAP).

New roadmap

First of all, I've decided to update the roadmap. You can read it later in THIS post. Since all updates will be monthly, splitting a roadmap by months looks like a good idea. The roadmap will be updated every update release and may change slightly over time.

I've also liked the idea of keeping those months "themed". This month's theme is "New Realms," it will focus on adding 5 more girls to the summoning pool, improving the "Attributes" system, and updating the Compendium. I also try to port game build on new platforms (WebGL and Andriod).

New Characters

While Character Poll #1 is still in progress, I've started preparing animations and an icon for those characters. I'll add a quick GIF of creating an icon for future characters.

Also, I've added Alternative Icons for Legendary characters that can be changed in the new Compendium (you can check a preview of this in the attached video).

Compendium Update

The Compendium was unchanged for a long while (almost since the beggining of the development). It was definitely the first candidate for refreshing its UI, and at the same time, doing so will prepare it for upcoming updates. So, it's time to make the Compendium to look like a real book. This week, I've prepared a background and quick animation for the Compendium (you can check it in the attached video). At some point, I've concluded that search buttons are taking up too much UI space and not entirely fitting the "new Compendium," so if nobody uses them - it'll be better to remove them, at least for now. I want to ask you this: Have you ever used search buttons in the Compendium? (Survey is in THIS post).

That's all for this week's WIP Log. Thank you for reading, and thank you so much for your support!

By the way, if you have any questions about this project - feel free to ask anything, I'll do my best to answer you!
