TBOE Tuesday devlog: Presentation (Patreon)

Over the next month or so I intend to improve the visual presentation of TBOE. Primarily that involves replacing the character portrait with a better drawing, and therefore probably also redoing the drawings for every item since the old sprites are unlikely to fit the new model. The above sketch is part of the process to nail down Eliza's design for this redo.

While I'm at it I'm taking the opportunity to improve the sketchbook kind of theming throughout the game. Personally I find that visual style very pleasant and nostalgic since I used to do a lot of pen-based drawing. Flipping the page when going from one menu to another, and this fancy new main menu that looks a lot more like it's drawn in an actual sketchbook.
