A new month and a lot to do (Patreon)

Good morning,

After the 0.4.7.6 update was done monday late night the next thing on my to do list was and still is the Verena & Claire's bonus scene.
But this is going to be a bit more than just the usual bonus scene as the picture above already reveals. In Verena's last update I had already plans to give her new clothes. But I had to cut that because of missing time. Now that there will be another scene with her I decided that I would rather add the new clothes now than to add them later on and then have to redo some of the animations on top.
Of course this means a lot more work now as I had to adjust all of her current dialogue, make new sprites and images and replace her current positions on the map...you get the point, it was quite a lot to do and I'm still on it to make sure you don't get the wrong image in any situation.
On top I've been working on 6 new animations for the scene with her and Claire and made an updated animation for the current watch scene in the ally.
It would have been nice to get all of this done until tonight, but that isn't realistic. I still haven't implemented the new animations and I also need to write the whole new scene's dialogue + do the tests. I will do what I can to get it done on Monday!

When this is done I will get straight back to new features in the MC's renovated house + add some new things for Athia. However I don't want to spend the whole month working on Athia like I did with Umah. Ophilia won the last content poll and I would like to get to her story as soon as possible. I will give you more information about my progress on that on the coming Friday.

Another topic is the next content poll. Some of you have already noticed the pre poll on discord, but I wanted to bring it to attention to all of you in case you want to participate.
Here the current options:

• 1. Kirlic - A new village to which you can travel. I will add new npcs and first interaction with them. Alongside that I will add new scenes for some of the current characters. 
• 2. Arianna - Arianna's state is getting worse! It's time to act and infiltrate the cult. You will join their ranks and find out more about their motivations. There has to be a cure for Arianna and you will find it. 
• 3. Tia - You now know where to find her father, it's time for the reckoning. Travel further into the mountains to find his tribe and give Tia her revenge. 
• 4. Kate & Claire - Everything is packed and you are ready to go. But there are dangers on the road to Kirlic. Claire mentioned an inn where you can rest. This will be your first destination. 
• 5. Bianca & Gavina - Now that you are aware of the threat in the mine you have to do something about it. The dark elves rely on their goblin servants, it is time to rob them of this source of labor!

If you want to participate check the #announcement channel on discord. Currently Tia is ahead of the field, but everything is still pretty much open. The prepoll will be open until monday morning when I start the new content poll here on patreon.

Thank you all for joining in this month!
I wish you a nice weekend!
