Chapter 7 weekly status report (5) (Patreon)

Hello everyone! Another week of development in the books and I feel this has been a good one.

• I'm finally focusing on writing the chapter, and I have around 1/4 done, or so I'd say. These things are hard to tell during development, but I'm expecting Chapter 7 to be roughly as long as Chapter 6, which was a massive +17.500 lines of code.
• I've figured out a few new mechanics for the game (Lena's outfits are one of them) and I've roughly plotted out the development of some story threads. Time to just think about where the story and characters are going is important, and it's something I didn't really have in GGGB. Now, wich a full game behind my back, it's especially important to come up with new scenarios that feel fresh and somewhat original, and that they're fun to play.
• I've finally finished all new drawings for Chapter 7. With this I can get a number for this chapter's total art count, and it's setting a new record: There's around 160 new image files, counting 92 full-screen new illustrations, of which 14 have one or more variations (pose, clothes, characters) and of which 12 are animated. There's also 2 new character sprites, 2 new backgrounds and new outfits for several characters. 

I told about tier re-structuring and changing the currency to EURO in my last report, but I haven't gotten around structuring that yet, since I'm really focused on working on the game. I'll make a specific post about it as soon as I can.

I'm still aiming to release on the first week of February, but it's probable that I have to push that a bit back because of all the work required and I also want to do a somewhat thorough testing before release. I'll keep you posted about it week to week!
