I had a very poor night's sleep when I wrote this devblog on Monday, so bear with me, while you read it. We are still moving forward with our beautification of the early game, as planned. Last week we updated the sprites for Eric, who only had two expressions and only a single pose for the longest time. For a character that possibly has as much screen time as the main cast of the girls - it was really strange. Especially since he is the first character that the player encounters during their playthrough.
As I reworked the introductory events for two of the girls for each house, and saw Eric's sprite next to those of the girls', it became immediately apparent, how outdated his sprite really was, so we decided that a slight make-over was overdue. Thankfully, it is also a low cost high reward case.
We are also continuing with our updates to the players' rooms. The placeholder ones all had the same layout and by the most part only differed from each other by their color scheme. The final versions will have much more individuality, to both bring variety to different playthroughts and give a little bit more character to the different Houses.
