Snack Tier Poll

Time to vote! We're going to be voting on art stuff, because the mechanics that need doing were already covered in the last poll anyway.

I could not get item stacking to work with multiple different items, so Tarova will be taking care of that, followed by item shopping at Fulmart (not sure what the ETA is on this right now though, as he is working on a volunteer basis).

So, there are a few essentials that I could take care of:

Character Creation & Profile Menu: Design & Artwork

There are two menus in the game which need to be properly designed.

First is the character creation menu, which is currently just used to select some options about your character's life to set up starting stats. I'd like to expand this to include physical appearance options, and add a section to let the player know what the various options actually do in-game, e.g. cook profession adds to the cooking stat.

In the main menu, there will also be a tab for character profiles, including one for the player character. This will display known data on each of the characters you have met in the game, including their stats, weight, measurement, affection level, favourite food, etc.

Vote for this option and I will design the layouts and create the UI art assets so that the programmer(s) have something to work with when these menus are implemented in-game.

Player Character Artwork

Once the new character creation system is implemented, the player will be able to choose things like skin tone and weight distribution in character creation and then see their own body in certain in-game scenarios. At minimum, we intend to have apple, pear and hourglass body types, as well as variations for male and female. Considering the player can put on weight throughout the course of the game, this means that I will be required to create a lot of art assets.

Vote for this option and I will make a start on these, covering as many as I can in the allotted time for the month.

Mobile Phone UI: Design & Artwork

Most of you are probably familiar with the in-game phone by now, but this is just a temporary implementation. This will become its own menu which will allow the player to contact various characters to see what they are up to and how they are doing. Ideally this needs to get implemented sooner rather than later, as every time I script some part of the story that requires the use of the phone, it's another bit of script that will need to be converted over to the new phone system once it is implemented.

Vote for this option and I will design the phone UI and create the art assets needed for its implementation.
