Chapter 3 announcement + redesigns
🕑 Added 2018-09-03 07:23:39 +0000 UTC Hi sorry for always being so quiet here, I find Patreon and devlogs in general really imposing AND would much rather ramble endlessly on twitter.SO ABOUT THAT CHAPTER 3
If everything goes according to plan, chapter 3 should be ready somewhere late November-ish! Things hardly ever go according to plan but one can dream!
SO SO SO! REDESIGNS AND STUFF.
I'll make a separate post detailing and compiling in a single place everything that lead to Ader's design evolution and how we came to the v4 redesign so it's easier to keep people up to date, but the gist of it is: the target audience thought this was a bara VN (it's not) NSFW to boot (IT'S NOT) and so many people hated Ader's design consequently and avoided the game entirely.
Alternatively bara fans like myself arrived and were consequently disappointed. TL;DR couldn't please anyone.
But more importantly, I felt angry at myself because he didn't fit the story and didn't look like a deer because I was afraid that if I changed him some people would get mad and give me crap for it (they did).
SO HERE'S ADER V4
</figure>
AND SEP BADLY NEEDED TO LOOK LIKE A YOUNG GAZELLE INSTEAD OF SOME WINE MOM, SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ADER'S AGE D8
SO YEAH.
Here's a screenshot of these two idiots on twitter! Kind of a WIP for Sep's arms.
And yeah I think they look really nice now. The rest of the characters will also get smaller updates to sort of match the improved 3/4 view, but most were already cartoony per se!
So that will be up soon-ish. Ishhhh. With some more changes in the UI and narration + some occasional bug fixes.

Hey! There will be no turning back to the old art as another big part of the change was that the current designs did not fit into the story (among other things, there's a famine going on and Ader looked -20 to starving and Sep was described as looking younger than Ader, ahaha) Thanks a lot for commenting!

Hi ! I'm not a patron yet i know but i just wanted to let a comment, for saying i prefer the first version of Ader and Sep. I know you make the change to make your game more appealing and that's a good thing, i just wanted to ask if it will be possible to have an option, like choosing which art will appear on the game (not sur if i'm clear, sorry).
