Investment Round 2 - 2000€ Goal (Patreon)

Yay, we are closing in towards the next financing milestone! As such it's time to consider the next options for investing the next 100€.

Currently the budget distribution is as follows:

• 2D Art: 700€
• Mapping/Writing: 200€
• Assets: 100€
• Pixel Art: 100€

For this round, I have 2 directions in mind. 

Writing: As you can see I initially threw mapping and writing into one budget bin, even though they have nothing to do with each other. I have found a candidate for becoming an assistent writer for writing side quests and side events, who I will test commission starting on the upcoming Saturday.
Since we then have an actual freelancer to pay (before that all money went into mapping), it would probably good for it to get it's own dedicated budget spot. Having that would mean I can consistently leave some of the side quest writing to the freelancer. Right now, the average production speed on writing is about 20k words per update, and is definitely a bottleneck. For 100€ we would be able to get about 2k words. He would also be writing lewd scenes/lewd options for side quests (but there I need to check how compatible the writing style of the writer is).

Pixel Art: On the other hand, we could up the pixel art budget by 100€. Pixel art is pretty expensive, the cheerleader clothes for a walking character was 60$. If we wanted to commission a full RPGM pixel character (walking, damaged, battle) it would be about 350$. We could then make the pixel characters for Aura, Alicia, Rose, etc. match with the 2D art. Without the extra 100€, it would require 3 months of pixel art budget for such a commission which I think would not be feasable. But even if we  add the extra 100€, we would still be at roughly 2 months budget per full pixel art commission.

Decisions, decisions! If you wanna leave your vote with me, I will probably choose the writer so I can "dedicate" more words to corruption scenes rather than side quest writing.

tl;dr vote writer for more production speed on side content, vote pixel art if you are annoyed by RPGM pixel characters not matching their 2D art.
