Hello all and welcome to another weekly blog!
Today we're going to be showcasing the newly-completed UI for Claire's Quest, the end product of a huge amount of work by MiNT, Maxxiiee, and Nikki! While all mechanics work the same, the UI visuals have basically been completely reworked for a much more streamlined look that better suits the gameplay. "Fame", originally an intended mechanic, has been removed altogether for now.
Also, as mentioned previously, Claire's UI portrait will respond to her highest attribute, automatically changing depending on it. On the other hand, if all attributes are equal, Claire maintains a "neutral" UI portrait.
Don't fret if you think it'll be too hard to see the neutral portrait this way though! It's actually going into our new title screen for Claire's Quest as well!
Moving along, although we've made great strides in progress thus far, the month of May is coming to an end and we still have quite a lot of work to do. Kudos to Ars as well, for continually working very hard on the tiles and sprites despite much personal turmoil at the moment.
What I might do, is instead first release CQ 0.15 with the 'default' look and the new CGs, as well as the art pack rewards updated until CQ 0.15. Following this, we'll do a limited area release (possibly only the Prologue) of the 'new' look as a sort of beta test to see if there's any issues with the new assets. Once the beta test is done without issue, we'll expand to the rest of the game, and that should complete the overhaul!
CG-wise, with this batch done we have now completed the Fairfelt questline CGs! These are a personal favourite, and I'm happy to see them done! Along with the completion of the CGs there will be significant tweaks of their accompanying text. Following this batch, we now have only 6 outstanding CGs left for existing scenes, which means Claire's Quest will soon have 100% CG completion! Exciting stuff!
We also recently had the patron polls for May to decide what kinks you'd love to see more of - out of 1189 total votes, the highest-scoring poll options were: Impregnation in 1st place, Gangbangs/Orgies in 2nd place, and at a close 3rd we have Sexy/Slutty Outfits. So be prepared to see more of these!
On that note, I'll close this blog with the progress report thus far!
