Hello!
I've been working on getting the build ready for Steam mostly this week. All the achievements have been decided upon and I'm about 70% of the way done with the icons for them. Apart from that, I included a feature for naming save games and with the help of a generous benefactor, there is a textbox opacity option in the game as well. These are some QoL improvements that were very much needed and I'm glad they're finally in the game. Additionally, I've been working with a friend to remake the UI. I'll This post will probably have some images so you can see where we're going with this. I'm really pleased with how everything is coming along.
For the next release, I've done a bit of writing and quite a bit of outlining. As it's gonna be a more quiet release, there's a lot of work I need to do on character development. For the relationships, especially, I wanna have a lot of significant moments and start the "honeymoon" phase of those arcs. Apart from that, I wanna start focusing more on Alice and her dynamic with the rest of the cast, as well as get more into her story altogether.
I was really hoping I could show you the new main menu, but I have to remake the animation (a third time) because it just didn't look right. We'll have to wait until next time.
Hope you're all having a wonderful day!
