Weekly progress report

Hello guys! This was a slow week for me but the page itself got a Luna's new image (here) and a new poll (here) to decide about the next new minor character. Honestly between the issues with my grandma and the independence day weekend this was a really short week. But still we got things to report!

As every week we start with the 2D, this week we got the lineart for the librarian character. This character is just a woman, nothing too interesting or hot but she is necesary to add character to Catalina's intro. Like I wrote in the previous paragraph we got Luna's new image that will be in MC's social media and will be the first time you'll see her.

This week I mostly polished parts that were already in the game. The main focus was on the police station and the base hub, but I still keep working on the mall. I added more NPCs to add more variety and started using more variety on the animation sets, by that I mean in v0.1 NPCs had 1 animation set for men and 1 for women, now men got 2 which one is MC's animation set and women got the Sofia/Catalina animations and the one from the mysterious woman. So there is a bit of variety on how people walk, I don't think I'll use Nicole's or Erica's animations that much but still I got 10 new NPC models to the game, this week was mostly Policemen and waiters.

Now for the game side of things, until this week I mostly forgot about working on the main hub area so I added more content and music to the place, I had some music for the free time events and things to find, because aside from finding where Nicole is and an optional fight there wasn't much to find and most rooms were empty with the same tileset so it was pretty boring. I added some things that need "other character's help" to interact so you have some thing in mind where to take Catalina in the next free time.

So playing the intro to v0.2 feels better, I'd say more alive and not so flat is it was last time I tried but there are some parts without music and where MC is just standing and walking alone where other characters should be. Other thing that I'm adding to v0.2 but haven't touched yet is the phone and some more improvements to the game GUI or even a map that's helpful! But for now I'm in party mode, there are a lot of celebration this weekend so I'll get to work really hard on Monday!
