Progress update and poll results (Patreon)

Hello, everybody! Here's a little update on what I've been doing and the polls results.

First of all... 

Poll results 

The first poll was about the reward scene at the end of chapter 2.5, I haven't started that scene yet, but the result is so clear that I don't see the point of stretching it any further, so THIGHTJOB it is! 

The second poll was about artwork, I realize I might be overthinking it and you guys like art either way. I still want to improve the artwork little by little, I don't know if you can tell, but more about that here:

Artwork

Instead of repainting everything, I'm doing little repaints in the areas that needed it the most or that otherwise seem too inconsistent for my taste (the face and now the hair, you can see it in the first picture)

I'm also repainting the backgrounds from scratch (it doesn't take that long) to add some consistency, it's not very complicated, but I think it's passable and I could repaint them if necessary, what do you think?

Of course I can't do that for every piece, so other scenes like this one below recycle the backgrounds and still use the old method as it only appears for a second.

Scene progress

For Ruri's part I want to make an animation, I' m going to probably do that next. As for Emi's route, I still have to finish a couple of things, and since in that scene there are no things that can be animated, I made more CGs.

Sprites

I told you a month ago that I was trying a sprite system (not the encounter system) to make some scenes faster... well that didn't work, it's too rigid and inflexible, I started with the mc to make the Emi scene, recycling some drawings and cutting it, but it didn't work.

Instead, I prefer to draw the scene so that it can complement others later, a kissing scene is probably something that can be a repeatable scene on reboot.

Reboot

For this part I prefer to talk in depth at another time with some infographics so that you can comment on the different game elements that I have planned to make it unique. Right now I'm trying to dip my toes into Python to get an idea of what can be done.

Encounter system

I haven't done any more of those sprites yet, I'm going to leave them for later this month as I think I can still improve my artistic skills before I start doing those key sprites.

That's all for now... I also need to update the goals for Patreon, since I now have a Discord server I feel "having 100 people following my game" has already been archived and I have no plans to stop right now. But more on that later, bye!
