Development Update - 13th May 2021

Hey there! I'll make development updates more often, seeing that we're getting closer to the ending of the first cycle of the monthly update plan.

The results of the last poll were convincing enough, so we'll keep the same preset. I'm not really looking to spice things up after all, just to make the game more fun for you and for that polls are very helpful.

Regarding the update, v0.2.00, here's what happened lately:

• Finished all the drawings. ✅ I think they're around 10 in total, which is pretty good for the first monthly update. I hope you'll like them.
• Added all the text to the game. ✅ I've reviewed around 80-90% of the Spa Dream and I think you'll have a more entertaining experience reading the updated text. I'm not really sure if I'll have enough time to improve the text for the Gardening Dream, but we'll see. I think it's good enough as it is right now.
• Planned a second animation for the game. ⌛ It uses one of the new drawings as a base and I'll try to do it tomorrow. One problem is that it's in the water and that makes things more difficult. More than that, I now have to use the free version of Live2D because a subscription for the full program costs a lot. There's a $400 flat purchase for a lifetime license, so if the game grows I might buy that and animations can be developed more often.

So, tomorrow is for seeing if I can get a good enough animation and for checking up on all the new drawings with fresh eyes to see if there are quick things to improve. 

Saturday is for adding all the drawings, the outfit, changing the expressions and bug testing the new content. It's pretty easily accessible, considering that you only need to sleep to access them.

I probably said this a few times already, but I'll say it one last time. 😅

 I'll release v0.2.00 for:

• $5+ Patrons on Saturday evening, or Sunday afternoon in the latest if there are some pesky bugs. Most likely, it'll be out on Saturday because I want to use Sunday to cool off and start planning v0.2.01's content on Monday. I already know what I'm going to be working on, so all that's left is drafting it then working on it.
• $1 Patrons a week after the $5+ release.
• Public on 1st or 2nd June.

I hope you'll have fun with it soon.
