Hello and welcome to another weekly blogpost!
The overhaul for Claire's Quest is now complete with regards to the Prologue, and we have moved onto step two - Valos.
This week I thought we'd discuss the results from the patron polls for August, primarily concerned with the outcome of the Claire's Quest overhaul and the direction of development!
First off, regarding the new character sprites for Claire's Quest, we had 83.4% of voters saying they liked it, 15.2% neutral, and 1.4% disliking. This is a pretty good outcome, and Ars will definitely be pleased to hear it!
For the next part, we asked how voters felt about the new user interface for Claire's Quest. The results were 82% saying they liked it, and 18% neutral about it, with zero dislikes! So kudos to MiNT there!
For the new portraits, which was the laborious efforts of Nikki, 83.4% liked them, 14.2% were neutral, and 2.4% disliked them. Again, a fairly good turnout.
Sadly, the tiles, and the new mapping, which were a combination of Ars and me (Architect), scored only 75.8% likes, with 22.7% neutral, and 1.4% disliking. Not ideal, but at least most were neutral rather than outright resistant. Hopefully as time goes by players will get used to them more.
Finally, the last set of votes was regarding the direction of artwork, as we have finally caught up to all existing scenes and are now putting in scenes with immediate artwork upon implementation. Voters were asked to pick 3 questlines they wanted to see developed first. Results were:
28.6% - Sisters of Fertility
24.9% - Thieves
20.4% - Rangers
14.4% - Mercenaries
11.6% - Five Families
As such, based off the results, we will be allocating quest progression to the top 3. So, the SoF, Thieves, and Ranger questlines will be getting CG + content in coming updates, with priority!
That's all for now! Sorry for the belated post! Expect to see CG progression charts in the coming weeks, and Valosian overhaul updates!
