Let's get this out of the way first. What has been added this month:
+18k new words (total: 198k)
+ 6 CG sets (total: 57)
+ 2 lewd scenes (total: 22)
Now, while this update is not crazy or anything, it does introduce a few things. First, I made the game compatible with the latest-ish release of Renpy. Which means, I hope, it will be more stable and less of a strain for older rigs.
The second change that I've made is regarding Kate's sprite. Since we're getting closer to the end, I have a better idea of the outfits she will need soon. I commissioned the sprite artist for those, and then I had to pay my animator to animate the sprite again. But since now I have a new animator, I decided to ask him to animate her sprite. Which means that the rigging of Kate's sprite is now different from what it was previously. You should notice it with her expressions and her breathing animation. I checked briefly and everything seemed fine, but obviously, I might have missed a few things. It changes her sprite everywhere, so yeah… All her expressions had to be recalibrated, but they have still a slightly different meaning, which could change the way one scene was interpreted. Hopefully it's not too bad, but I'm counting on you guys to tell me. I can't do it myself, after all. I am lazy, so you understand.
The other thing is a specific animation. You should notice the difference. This animation has been animated with live2d. I had to change the way I handle animations. I'm still learning stuff. I would like, if you guys want to share how you feel about it, to do so. Without feedback, I'll just assume you guys like it and shift the way I do animation to that kind from now on. It does have a lot of advantage for the small hiccups it brings.
I also added the bonus CG that won in January. So now the grandma is there somewhere. Still no fuckable though, for those three guys in the back who desperately want it.
I'm sure I have other things to say. Worries, bla bla bla. Nobody cares.
See you next month! Have fun.
