Hello! Quick update to talk about something!
First things first:
Where's the update!?
The update will come either later today or tomorrow! Thank you for putting up with the wait times. I know we're currently quite bad at this so feel free to rant at me!!
If everything goes as planned, starting in September, my IRL will be a lot less busy and I can speed things up regarding game development and communication. I hope you can put up with us for now.
In case we don't make the update today after all, I wanted to make a post anyway so you know we didn't disappear as it's getting close to the 2 week mark.
Both me and the artist are working on the game every day even if we get a bit quiet with the news!!
And as a reminder because I still see people saying stuff like "I'm afraid my sub runs out before the update".
Write down the password to the itch.io page!!
I only change the password some time
after an update so that nobody with an expired subscription misses out after they contributed to us.
I will keep bringing this up as long as I see such comments!
Okay, now that's out of the way let's talk about a little problem I have with the game right now.
The image I'm using for this has already been in a preview so this isn't any new spoilers.
The game now has a problem of multiple tails on the screen at many times.
The tails are really big so the images also have to be wider.
At this point, over half the screen is covered.
The toggling opacity feature isn't useful anymore because it would just be permanently on.
So the only solution I can think of right now is to crop out parts of the image, like this.
This is really bad because tail behaviour is a good indicator to measure the excitement of a beastgirl!
But if I have to crop it out like this, I would then
put the full image into the gallery.
This might have the annoying side effect of the player going into the gallery just in case they missed something, rather than just to see scenes again.
Another option, if I make the image smaller it would start looking weird.
RPGM games run in a very low resolution to begin with so it's harder to enjoy the images like this:
At this point it becomes hard to spot details so this is not good!
And it looks extra weird when there's a big Luna on screen and then it jumps to something like that.
Overall, cropping and putting the full image into the gallery might be the best solution.
You likely noticed that Pudding's tail in recent artworks has become a fully transparent cloud.
I'd rather have it drawn, cropped out and put into the gallery than made invisible to fit the screen!!
As my artist keeps asking: "And where are the tails supposed to go!?"
If you have any better ideas, please let us know. Tails are important!!!
