Changelog and Updates

General

Some reorganization for the project. Installed a bot to track progress reports from trello to automatically post into a discord channel.

Also have will be uploading more nsfw fan art for supporters and to advertise my work and this project! Supporters will have full access to all the variations and high quality png images of all the nsfw art I draw.

Will be continuing work on the Background Images and once they are completed, I will be working on all the CGs for the first Chapter/Introduction + Demo. Once all the art is complete, the final parts of the programming will be done to finish up the demo for it's supporter-only release. Then after some testing and cleanup, it will become a public release for the demo.

Will be continuing the next parts of the game after that moment, and I will be deciding if I want to add animations after the public release or do it during the supporter-only testing so it is ready for the public release, depending on how much time it takes.

Some ideas I am thinking about for some additions to the future of the game: 

*Note: These are just some ideas nothing set in stone quite yet*

- The Nexus will function as a portal room to go to new locations, each location will be its own map which the player can explore. This will be easier to design locations instead of a single giant map. The entire map will not be completely open, as the player will explore and discover ways into hidden areas within that map. Along with additional portal locations added over time, to completely different themed areas, such as the Magus Academy, Gehenna and so on.

- Time of Day may exist, it will likely just be an aesthetic feature art first, more to display characters doing different things, wearing different outfits at the varying times of the day, mostly on a schedule. Time can be adjusted and there is no rush of importance. What may happen afterwards may be that specific events and areas may open up, depending on the time of day, including whereabouts of specific unlockable characters and so on.

- Additional Interactions in rooms, examples would be browsing the internet or playing games on Luna's PC, Sistine's Dark Summoning Circle could cause an event to happen with the right ritual and sequence, Pandora's notes on her desk may be another puzzle which can help her remove the magical seal on specific locations, or give the player knowledge of how to do it themselves.

Final Words

Most of the updates will be considerably smaller because it's mostly just asset creation at this point. The focus is completing the demo while also creating fan art to expose myself to more people, since I am a very small creator at this point, so I will be focusing on doing both in tandem. 

The Demo is priority but the practice for doing fan art is also very beneficial to the final art and improvements I will make on the CGs and so on.
