Saturday Update!
Added 2023-05-27 15:51:06 +0000 UTCHello again my friends! It's time for more UI updates!
Last week I kept up the grind entirely on the menus and I'm pretty happy with the progress. I didn't get exactly every ambitious thing I wanted, but I feel like I got a lot of what I wanted!
Here's the new Main Menu screen and special transition for when you start a new game ^o^ I'm very happy with it!

After I completed that, I worked more on some other transitions and unifying the menus.
Here's an example of playing in the game, accessing the menu, and loading a file:

I also revamped the choice menu:

I started working on facelifting the general menus, but I was cut off on Friday and I haven't finished- the content is still shoved off to the side as if that left menu was there LMAO but don't worry, I'll get that all sorted out. Once I'm finished, this designed will have a lot more space to put menu content than the renpy default design!

Speaking of the Credits page, I've also sorted out a nice system for getting people's names in the credits every month!

This isn't the final design for the credits of course, but I can now at least put people's names and the correct number of months they've been backing the project.
If you want to be in the credits for the first month there's still time before the end of the month! I'll be making official posts about credits updates a few days after the beginning of a new month after all the payments have been processed.
The $20 tier of this patreon has been updated to officially show that people will be included in the credits as well.
Anyways, I'm really really pleased with last weeks progress. I had to do a ton of research and learn a lot of new code but I feel like it paid off! I'm starting to feel very happy with the UI.
I hope you guys had a good week too!
Thank you so SO much for your support and giving me the opportunity to work on this! I'm having a blast!
Stay safe and have a great weekend! <3
