Hey everyone!! ๐๐
First of all, thank you so much for your patience and all the lovely support messages youโve sent me! ๐โจ. They keep me super motivated and excited to keep building this VN for you! ๐ช๐ฅ
Iโve been hard at work on the minigame, and hereโs where weโre at:
โ 8 of 15 CGs are finished!
โ 3 of 20 Mason interactions are already programmed into the game!
And to give you a sneak peek ๐, Iโm sharing two short animation previews where you can see the CGs come to life. Just like the sprites, the characters blink, change expressions, and move their mouths while talking ๐ฃ๏ธ.


๐ญ Iโd love to hear your thoughts: for the next minigame update, would you be okay if some CGs are included as WIPs (a bit sketchier, not fully polished) in order to deliver updates faster โฑ๏ธโจ?
This way I can keep progress moving without long delays. To give you an idea, Iโve included one finished CG and one unfinished CG as an example.
Finished:

WIP:

Besides the minigame, Iโve also been working on new content for upcoming scenes:
๐ Mason sprites with different outfits (examples below!).
๐ฟ A new background for the showers.
๐ฝ๏ธ A sketch WIP of the school cafeteria background.





Iโve been updating the audio side too:
๐ต A new track inspired by Mario Party will play on the minigame instruction screen! (see attatchments)
๐ The GUI sounds are being replaced with original ones.
๐ผ And yesโฆ more new songs are in production! Iโll keep you posted as theyโre ready.
Donโt forget! We now have a Discord server where I share regular previews, chat about characters, and run polls ๐ณ๏ธ. Patreon should auto-link you if your Discord is connected, but if not, just DM me and Iโll send you an invite. I donโt want anyone to miss out on the extra goodies!
๐ Plus, Iโve started doing Patreon exclusive streams where I work on the VN and commissions live, come hang out! ๐จ๐ฅ
Thank you again for being here and supporting the project ๐. Your feedback really helps shape everything, and I canโt wait to hear your thoughts on the CG WIP question! ๐
See you soon with more previews!! ๐๐
