Uni Development News & Sprite Poll Results

Since this month is all about Art we don't have a lot in terms of Development Updates this month, since we're lacking that I've decided to create this post to bring you all up to speed about what has been going on behind the scenes and what's going to happen in the future.

Another Big One:
Okay, maybe not as big an update as 0.10.50 was since that update was several months in the making, though, one aspect of this update has been months in the making.
We're currently on track to have 0.16.XX be one of our larger updates bringing in new art as well as long awaited mechanics that have been getting worked on for the past few months.
I'm not going to spoil what is going to be added, just letting you know it's going to be a big one.

Sprite System Rework:
We've been wracking our brain trying to find any other alternative since the last bakery update.
With our current setup to make the MC blonde would require every single outfit in the game have a blonde version and then once the surgery was done we would require another variation set. This would explode the file size of the game to levels we really didn't want, we've found other alternative, but the best option for the entire game all together is to rework the entire system.
This is going to be a huge undertaking that can't get done in only a single month so it's going to worked on in two Phases. This is why some aspects of the game, most noticeably the bakery route, haven't been added into the game yet. We'll keep you updated as we progress through the stages of the rework. For those of you wondering about the MC not having blonde hair yet, this is why.

Art Delay:
We had quite a bit planned in terms of artwork this month beyond the list posted at the top of the Patreon Page, however, our artist Houpo has had some electrical problems at his house that have prevent him from working at his best. He's back on track now working on getting the rest of the list out before the end of this month, but if one of the artwork items on the list doesn't make it into 0.15 then this is why.

Art Production Increase:
The Patrons that have read the previous patron post showing the Project Bi Teaser will already know about this, but I wanted to let all of our followers know on what is going to be happening in October.
A Second Artist will be joining our team to help split up the artwork workload, and this process is planned to begin in October for 0.16, we're hoping that this will drastically increase our artwork production, HOWEVER, if the artwork suffer a large drop in quality we will stop doing this since quality always comes first with Uni.

Sprite Poll Results:
This is coming rather late than usual, mainly because of the artwork delay that was mentioned. The winner of the sprite poll was Emilia! The owner of the Maid Cafe.
She'll be getting her sprite in October alongside a second new sprite from the result of the Sprite Polls for that month!

Thank you!:
Thank you to all our Patrons for your awesome support Uni truly would have never made it this far without you!
