That is some amazing news to share. I like the confidence and I have a feeling this game is going to be one outstanding wonder especially since we won't have to worry about being impatient about any "new builds". I think your project will benefit greatly from not having to survive build by build like it is with a lot of erotic games these days, though some go chapter to chapter. The price for the game also sounds reasonable. I look forward witnessing it all come together and the next update come May, so long as there aren't too many unpredictable interruptions. Shame to hear about the SSD failing... at least a lot of what you had was saved which is good habit. Ayumi's new look is quite good, though I may miss her blue eyes it is still a stellar character portrait regardless. Sayaka, though it seems she isn't ready just yet has quite a glow up from her initial sketch. I look forward to what comes with the new schedules for a lot of the characters will be undertaking. I appreciate greatly that while the scope hasn't gotten out of hand, there's a clearer idea of where you're going to go with it. Persona 4's honestly a decent choice considering the kind of mood that small town has. Haven't played it yet as I want to clear out my old library of games. Best of luck man, the future seems very bright with this project. Hope to chat again soon on the next update. I'll be away for a brief time next week.
Hey Scott, thanks so much as always for your thoughts! I have a bunch of other versions for Ayumi, I had this prepared for like the "final" version, but this morning I just changed her to the one on the post, not the first time someone didn't like those eyes haha
But yeah, the build to build grind is real, definitely prefer to take things at their own pace, some months are more technical than others. But yeah, things are moving faster than before and now with a lot of the things in place, I'm feeling better than ever! Plus the sun is starting to shine here, that might play a big part haha
And yeah, the small town of Persona 4 is just great, specifically wanted to play the game because of it. And I get, gaming backlog is a real obstacle nowadays, I finish so little games nowadays... But games are a wonderful thing, so glad to be born in this time period where we can enjoy them.
Thanks for everything Scott, hope your time away goes well and is worth it! Take care.
Thank you. Interesting alternate Sprite for Ayumi. Makes me wonder if we're going to see any sort of alternate sprites for Halloween or Christmas where the characters are in a more casual wear or costume to in with some festivities. It reminds me. I never did find that ghost in the Halloween update way back when. Man that is a long time ago. Currently in a Blizzard for the next day or so. Well, I'm off to finish up some backlog games. Glad to hear things are looking brighter on your end.
