Month End Status Update

Hello,

August is in the bag and it's time for an update on things. The Zalran Church and Bridge maps were updated for MV. Additionally, the chapter 1 map updates for North Road, South Road and Zalran Lake were started. I've begun upscaling and inputting chapter 1 artwork.

System-wise, I'm still hashing out menus. The equipment menu is now in place with icons, but it's missing the appropriate character artwork. I think I've made progress on the main menu artwork and should finish that up this weekend (yay, I'll get to complete that Trello card). I've still got money set aside from the pledge for combat-system work and continue to trudge forward in that area. There are just not that many people who work on RPG Maker plugin commissions, or I'm looking in the wrong places.

Remaining prologue work - CG6 is still in progress. It's not really slowing things down, I've just been working on other areas. Aylia's peasant dress standing portraits are also still in progress. 2 expressions are done, and the others shouldn't be too far behind now that the base is complete. Finally, I've started moving the battle artwork to MV.

What to expect this month:
1. There should be a public release of the full prologue. Content-wise will be pretty close to what you guys played last time around. It will have menus in a better state, the final 3 maps done (church, bridge, and Bogwort's house), and it will have more finalized sound and music in place.

2. A development post and the poll results. If you have not completed the poll, you should do so. (See the patron-only post for survey info)

3. Right now, I'm aiming for a end-of-month release. If this release is ready, it will have chapter 1 content you've never seen before. This is my goal, but it is NOT a release date.

Thank you for your support!
