Thanks! My character artist is the lovely @tinytrashmarten.bsky.social who does an AMAZING job with traditional media in a 90's funny animal style. We scan them in and hit them with an indexed palette at low resolutions for a more authentic presentation.
VA is in the works soon, both for pedestrians and voiced ending cutscenes. This is all being done on a hobbyist's budget so it has to compete with my musician and character art budgets, but we're making it work.
AI has been reworked a lot since this alpha, but in lieu of another hotfix I'm choosing to hold off for the next build, which will be far more substantial in terms of content. I'm also redoing much of the menu UI away from the placeholder buttons as I finalize the game's UI aesthetic. The end of Alpha is rapidly approaching and I'm getting incredibly excited about it!
