Brothers and Sisters and Siblings of the Lucent Priory,

It's been a Jude week in the Mammoth household. To give you an idea, most other dates range around 15-20 MB, but Jude clocks in at 75 MB. I'm going to try and decrease the size through various shenanigans, but let's just say, after this date, I think Jude is going to be climbing up a lot of people's ratings.

Itch.io Support is still MIA, so the game is still unlisted. Even so, we had a lot of newcomers join us this week, so welcome everyone! Thank you for your support; you more than make up for the lack of support I'm getting from itch.io.

What I worked on this week:

The Jude redesign has been finalized, posted for some patrons, and integrated into Chapters One and Two. In addition to the sprites, one of Jude's CGs (the one on Tidesday in Chapter Two; you know exactly which one I mean, naughty) has been redone to work better with the new sprite (and to look better overall).
Jude's date has been written and animated. There are a few graphical issues and inconsistencies in some images left, which I'll fix early next week. But overall, this has been (and will be) the most ambitious date in a technical sense in Chapter Two, and I think a good indicator of things to come.

What I'm working on next week:

Luca! Time for his date. I'm planning to write and animate it completely sometime next week.
After Luca's date is done, I'm going to go back and revise or expand (if necessary) all the dates. This will be the final pass before leaving them finally behind, and getting back to the rest of Lightsday.

Have a great week ahead everyone!
