Weekly progress report + sprite reveal

Hello guys! This first week of the year has been quite productive as you can see we have all the sprites for the main girls of TCoR's first episode (or chapter? I'm still thinking on the measuring unit) and of course NBNL v0.18 (here)! So this report is going to be on the longer side.

As always let's start with TCoR's 2D stuff, I got the sprites so each girl has 5 body poses and 7 faces so the main girls are a bit more expresive than the ones in Lust Survivor. As you know Nicole has a jacket but I didn't post that this time because the one that went from 0 to 100 in a week is Erika, she'll have 2 versions in this release "Alive" and Ghost, she is the shortest although Sofia should be between Nicole and Erica in size. Due to some misscomunication Erika ended up being bustier than what I wanted, but having the 3 girls side to side it doesn't look bad, the other thing that's buging me a bit is the dead/waifu ratio of ghost Erica, but the comision is done! So what are we missing on the 2D side of things? I need to add the custom GUI elements to the game, we are missing 2 NPCs, the main bad guy and the male detective. The things that I tend to forget is a main menu image and a game cover that last part is a pattern in my life.

For the game/3D stuff in TCoR I haven't touched it that much, since I got in the rush to finish NBNL. But I've got the base and what I need to have it ready for you is mostly that blender let me use rigify again! (Which is part of the plugins that I use and died when V5.0 updated last month) Aside from that I really need to polish the camerawork but the game has legs so that's nice. For the details, I think the town itself needs more movement, either NPCs, cars or even plants that move because right now most of the town stays still and only moves when the player isn't looking.

For NBNL, I think v0.18 is working fine. I did fix some issues on the game with the event markers specially the bar and cellphone, because it showed events when there isn't any event that you can get in that moment. Now the thing that v19 or even this v18 really needs is some cover art, because I always use the main menu as cover and I think the main menu is okay, but the cover art should be more exciting so if you have ideas for the cover art I'm all ears as well as if you find any bug in the current version.

The other thing I think I'll be needing soon is more backgrounds for the patreon page itself, because the planet background doesn't go with the non- scifi game. In any case I hope you like the girls and from next week onwards you'll be seing them in screenshots of the game!

I hope you have a nice week and thanks for sticking during the boring weeks!
