Game updates: approach to maps (Patreon)

Ok, so! I'm working on Chloe's game, i've been doing some sprites and now i started with the first map, being the pub. The pub will probably have 2 different main maps + the bathroom one. The first one being a shot of the bar counter and the second one being a shot of the crown towards the stage. I don't know what i'll do for the crowd one, i actually think i'll do a static map not to make the game too heavy, but for the bar counter one i decided to try an animated approach where we see different people passing by in the background, they're just shadows in some Persona 5 fashion but i think it sets a cool mood and i already like the result. Now i'll make some tests with sprites on it, also putting background music and i'm sure it'll be super interesting! I'm thinking of having this approach with most maps, also in a superior image quality then the previous game, my only concern is the weight of the game that would surely become much heavier. What are your thoughts? Do you like the idea to have more animated stuff? Or do you prefer a simpler approach and a lighter game? Let me know!!
Many more updates to come!!!
