Lil beach completed :) Update plans and general thoughts

For 1.10 I have been taking it a bit slower, this update should be a smaller more relaxing update with a few scenes. This is a private beach for Yokai but because of the season it is much quieter, very personal MC and Crystal focused update for the most part.

I have quite a lot of things going on irl for me at the moment, but I'm trying to make some time to work on the game as well.

I have been having more ideas about future plans for the next game, something a bit more open world-ish? I have been working on character designs in Koikatsu as well as making a few character sprites as well. I guess I have been splitting my attention quite a bit thinking back on it.

I don't plan on stopping creating Crystal Desires any time soon, I still have story to tell. I just wish I did things better earlier on in terms of scenes and Koikatsu designs and everything, honestly I'm hitting that point of "Dang I wish I did this or that". but I may slow down to work on other characters and maps for the new game as well, just so when I do get to the point of wrapping up the story I don't have a big pause between content coming out. I guess It is just a lot of thinking right now that I am trying to figure out exactly what I want to do.

I can say for sure there is at least 5-6 updates after this one before I finish up.

Hopefully by then I will have enough character sprites and maps completed to start up something new.

The biggest thing, I'm just doing everything I can to make sure I don't get completely burnt out so I'm taking a bit of time between things.

I would appreciate thoughts and opinions in the comments, thanks
