I was afraid of that. I'll try my best, and won't stop the changes after this first hotfix.
I've been planning to replace it bit by bit. The mouth for example I've already replaced in most expressions in the current version to a more generic version. It's really hard to get right on all resolutions though. I'll change the facial structure a bit today. Nose will probably stick for a while, I'm sorry to say. Very little to change there, until I find some fitting alternatives from other artists. The usual anime "line-nose" does not fit at all, I've tried.
And this also gets me to why I'm using blender. I've made this in blender because I can write plugins for it that help me manage changes to the character. For example, all those changes you see in my last update picture are automatically inherited to all other poses I've created before. Then I just need to hit a single button, and all of those poses get rendered out at once. This means I can make massive changes like the ones I'm doing now later in the project, with barely any extra effort.
I also plan to add animation capabilities at some point.
Another upside is the shading system. I can create more powerful effects in blender than in any other 2d software I know. It might even be possible to export some shaders to Godot automatically.
The only downside so far is the lack of masking. I know a dude who might be able to write a 2D boolean modifier, but he tells me it's a nightmare to work with curve data in modifiers, so I don't know if that's ever going to be a thing.
(I'm also working on with a bunch of unofficial blender patches that make it easier to work with curve shapekeys and fill/outline stuff, so it's not all that bad to work with.)
Thanks!
At least 1 tentacle event per Act, and this one's is just the setup/techdemo, so it's only the mandatory first act teaser tentacle scene. Come back in Act II or III if you want to consume proper tentacular extravaganzas.
Those are wonderful suggestions. Paradox in particular might be nice, because the cause of her powers as well as her existence itself represents quite the paradox. And yes, time travel is the crux of the game and the most distinctive mechanic the game has to offer.
I'm not so sure on Quantum, it sounds very sci-fi and even if the concept behind exploring differently collapsing super positions fits the time travel, it does not really account for her taking her memories back with her in time (which I think may literally be an impossibly complicated quantum event to happen by chance, at least in a universe similar to ours, but we'd have to ask a quantum physicist to be sure
)The name will also need some component to represent the sheer lunacy. It currently emerges from the reference to Jojo's, so nobody questions it, but Lily is not particularly stable.
Maybe "Lily's paradoxically chaotic journey through time".. I'm just kidding, that's quite the mouthful.
Thank you very much for your suggestions. It helps a lot, sometimes the mind just gets stuck in a mire and you need some outside help to get it moving again ! Sorry for blabbering, writing down my thoughts helps me think. I'll note down your suggestions and will have something proper for Act II I hope.

If so, then I'm glad you enjoy the game with the intended mindset
