The Demo is still in the making and the files will be available publicly when it's done!
And while i def understand the worry, it's something im very well aware will take much more time than if i simply made a set of sprites, but the results these efforts and additional time will give is one of the main reasons i want to do it in the first place. Tho you can say im lucky in that regard since most of the early story takes places with the two main characters isolated (but it'll still be a huge amount of work nonetheless).
But Im not that masochistic, I'll take shortcuts when i can and if they don't stray away too much from what i have in mind haha.
And well once the demo goes out, i should spend all of my time on the project, while so far I've only been doing it on the side.
And i know well that you don't need a huge number of sprites to have a great experience, by having unique sprites i'm not implying that "more = better" but i do think it'll bring something new that isn't currently done with visual novels (at least from what i know), i want the visual aspect of my visual novel to be almost as important as the novel aspect, to have it feel more like animated movie's story board instead of a picture book (nothing against picture books tho).
However, i talk about what i want and not what it'll really be with my current abilities, and when it comes to that, im aware that there will be short-comings, messy parts and that it'll take a huge amounts of time and i know that i won't get to perfectly make what i have in mind since i lack experience in almost anything making a visual novel requires you to have, but that part is also one of the reasons why im working this passion project! I wanna learn all of that, and my preferred way of learning is while i work on something im passionate about! So yeah, i can't tell you that it'll be perfect, it's a given that it won't be, but i can tell you that I'll try my best and that im more than ready to work my all on it.
Im sorry for the block of text but i hope this answered your questions!
