Been a while since I've done a raw dev update but there's an important, and necessary change that I wanted to share with you guys!

== Changes to Scenes (Starting 0.4) ==

I've got some news that is a mix of good/bad.

The scenes in 0.4 (and future ones) will NOT be animated initially.  To clarify, Cullen will no longer be drawing the additional 'movement' frames on scenes. 

I've wanted to add an animator to the team from the beginning, however the budget is not there quite yet.  In the mean time, Cullen's been putting in extra effort to animate the scenes himself.  This has put way more stress on him than intended and ultimately it can't continue.

On the plus side: Because the process was so inefficient, not having animated frames could result in slightly more content per update or more timely updates.

 The static images will still have audio and the speed up options! 

I apologize if the lack of animated scenes is a turn off for some fans/Patrons. 

== Your Feedback! ==

I definitely would like to hear from you guys about changes like these.  Let me know if there's things you want to see more of, etc.  Don't forget the suggestions channel on Discord.  I'm always considering ideas moving forward.

Hopefully this news doesn't come off as too bad for everyone who is supporting.  Cullen and I are still trying to find our routine while balancing work/school life but I feel like this is a good step in the right direction.

Thank you for your support!  See you soon with 0.4!

Hey, if it comes down to doing it flashy or doing it right, then you're making the better choice doing it right! Cullen burning out wouldn't help anyone, and the game's going to be just as gorgeous if it forgoes animated scenes until that goal's met.

Thats sad to hear, I initially got interested in the game because I like your art style and the animated h-scenes. Do you plan to add animations to the new scenes somewhere in the future or are you completly getting rid of animated h-scenes for the future of the game?
