Trying to not scream!! A new fan of you, your work looks so amazing and I'm so excited and appreciative that you want to share your art with us! I cannot wait for this to come out! Thank you so much for the updates; honestly I don't know if devs truly know how much that is appreciated! It shows that you care and gets us even further hype for this! Don't sweat it about having to remove things, do what's right for your vision! I think it's hard to remove something you've envisioned and implemented in your work. The fact that you can make a deduction you found proper for your vision and take that step is amazing. Maybe I'm dramatizing it haha, but as a person who holds on to way too much junk IRL (hoarder), and as a video editor (so a fellow "art type" myself), I can relate to that struggle lol! Definitely hard to let things go but as you said, you can always change it in the future if need be so take comfort in that!
Be patient with yourself, get more rest than you're probs getting, and drink more water. 😂Just basically take care of your health and overall sanity out here lol. Thanks again!
PS: The chara art, BG art, and UI look absolutely breathtaking. Very polished looking work! Well done so far!
