Funding Goal Met - Character Profiles!
This month we crossed the funding threshold for a brand new bonus feature: Character Profiles! I'm really excited for this one :D Thank you so much to all of you for making it happen!
The feature is still development, but let's take a look at how it's shaping up:
Under the Memories menu is a new button called "Cast Profiles." Navigating here brings you to a collection of all the major characters' portraits. Let's click on Marion's portrait as an example.
Welcome to Marion's profile! Here you can read a short synopsis of the character, as well as view her sprite. As you progress through Marion's story, more sprites of her transformation will cycle through. Protagonists also have a "Sprite & Concept Gallery," which features the character's concept art and sprite alternates. The player can unlock it by both completing the character's story line and winning her minigame!
Other information we are considering including are some basic stats, a fitting quotation, and more flavor details about each character-- space permitting!
What do you think of how it's looking so far? What else do you think should be included? This feature is all thanks to you, and we'd love your feedback!

<p style="color: #008600;">I'm glad that at the very beginning of the year you decided to make some improvements. Character Profiles is a actually great idea!</p>
Can't wait to see her TF form in her profile XP
Is the gif loading? It cycles through in the second picture!
Perhaps players could have sliders or settings for which clothing is being worn or what expression is there? (Of course we can see all these in the sprites folder but it's nice to have a UI for it.)
I'd love to, but that might be beyond my coding abilities :S Definitely a great idea though!
Awesome! nice feature
Thanks! Hope everyone enjoys playing with it!
Awesome!

Would you consider being allowing players to manually cycle through transformation stages as opposed to the auto-cycle.
I was trying to make a cycle with pause and skip buttons but couldn't figure out how to code it, so ended up just sticking to the cycle so people wouldn't miss the buttons that show the alternate forms :( We'll try to include all the major sprites in a lineup in the Sprite & Concept Gallery section, or maybe add a button for a separate windowed manually cycleable sprite gallery!
It may seem simple, but I'm glad to see this being made. Now I'm feeling over excited.
I'm excited about it too! It'll give us the chance to share some details and concept art that didn't make it into the game proper!
Happy days for another goal has been reached!
Huzzah!
Looking forward to finding out Malcolm's CHR and LUC
We will include Every. Single. Acronym.
Sweet this awesome! I'm happy to hear you reached your goal too!
Thanks Ghost! We slipped back under the threshold, but it was over long enough to justify starting work on all this ^^
I feel that this is a wonderful addition! Are there going to be more entries than what's shown? I'm not seeing a certain mysterious lady...
Yes, we will definitely include more major characters as they get added in depth to the game! Which mysterious lady did we miss?
I feel like this is a sign from the dev team that Hazel is more important than just a horse. With a very expressive personality.
Hazel is with you from the very beginning, and she's got a powerful presence and strong personality in every story line. It'd be a travesty not to include her on the list!
Nice stuff
Thanks! :D
Congratulations!
Thanks so much to you and all fellow supporters!!
