Tying up loose ends (Patreon)

- Finished the "more than one" girl scene.

- Finished half of the endscene.

- Working on some love for Mai(finally, right?)

- Working on spicing up the endscene with something extra

- Working on a couple of idles for characters related to the  endscene.

- Working on a scene winner's scene.

Just like with Katara(book1) we wanted to put a little more "oompf" into the last scene. That basically means extra frames in an animation, but I also added a little extra right before the endscene with some more than the usual amount of frames. 

It's really a joy to see a character come to life when you've put it all together and watch it move for the first time. It's a lot of work, but worth it. The trick to it all is making absolutely sure you got the first pic right, because if you have to start changing stuff halfway through, you'll naturally have to change all the frames and lose a lot of time. Another part is just trusting yourself enough to want to put in the necessary time.

I've been brute forcing my way through these animations trying to get better and more efficient at making them, and I'm seriously wondering about the stuff we'll be able to put in when we reach the end of this game. Sure, we'll always be restricted in what we can do timewise, but if'd shown me some of the latest animations I made when we were still just at the beginning of book1 I'd be pleasantly surprised. So... here's hoping I have some extra room to improve!

I think at some point in time we've all wished we could multiply ourselves to get something done better or faster and if you'll wake me up in the middle of the night and give me three wishes I'd absolutely wish for ...... worldpeace... ;)  and then the ability to multiply myself(and get more work done). Third would be extra wishes(of course).

Btw, we've received a couple of extra bugreports(thanks!) with nothing too major mentioned so that's always nice. The public build should be available this weekend so you $2 tier people will finally be able to see what we've been talking about in these art updates!

If all goes well, I'll soon finish work on this route and start working on the unique scenes and other art for the Love route. Or rather the "Zuko" route!
