helllooooo! hope you all are okay
right now i'm working on the sprites. originally i wanted to do that silly and goofy style you saw in the demo, but when i started drawing the new characters for the festival, i realized that THEY WERE OVERpolished??? like, imagine a near-sketchy Cava and some overdesigned sprite next to her.
I still want to keep that goofy vibe the sprites have anyway, so I won't do anything major, but... eh.
of course i'm not REdrawing the sprites again. i'm just polishing them up a bit and that's it! (I won't change Tiller (probably), he's already perfect lol)
I also plan on redoing the menu, but haven't started working on that yet
usual questions: 1) what do you think about NSFW (like, intimate stuff, not blood(the blood will be there anyway))? when i play datesims, i sometimes miss such explicit elements. but i don't know if players will be comfortable seeing it. at the very beginning of development, i wanted to add a “don't include explicit moments in the story” feature, but then i realized that if i do NSFW elements, they will most likely be plot important and not worth skipping. any thoughts? (I don't think I want to add a choice like "Stop him" "Let him do that" kind of stuff because as I said it'd probably be too plot-important to skip)
2) do you already have an image in your head about how you imagine your main character? who are they? I'm curious :D
3) would you like to see creepy things in the game?
4) is the font okay to read? do I need to make it brighter or bigger, smaller etc. ?
I'm ready to answer your questions as well!
I don't know what to say so here are first versions of Zu's and Zivil's sprites!
