Assuming you've played 0.31.5, you should know that I'll have to do younger version of Jinnie too.
So here we go~:
this is the only expression I've drawn of her now, I have no idea why a slight pout though.
Some changes to Jinnie (past), she'll no longer have braids and non-see through glasses as her current sprite shows.
Braids because dear god it is insanely hard to draw in scenes. I was wondering whether to keep her hair long or not but ultimately decided on giving her the long hair but make it straight to contrast with the tomboy-ish side of Shion. The straight hair conveys that she's more shy, reserved and demure compared to other girls.
I'm also a little sad that we don't have a medium-sized/normal chest size character and was thinking whether to give her that size but the amazing combination of "reserved/shy personality + smoking hot body" was simply too much of an appeal.
Moving on, here's Jinnie (present) with some fixes and also the full nude version:
it's insane how much of a change she went through in just six months, huh?
The previous t-shirt/top I chose for her was honestly too weird a choice. And I'm not just referring to the word "PIE" which is so coom-brained it takes people's mind out of the premise either, like if I'm not going to make her showoff her assets in a bikini by default, would I otherwise want her to have a see through top? Anyway, she'll likely rotate between the bikini +jacket and top +hot pants whenever the situation fits.
If either design outshines Shion for you, I can only ask you to trust me when I say that this is her route more than it ever will be with Masaru's(and Erica) despite the presence of Jinnie.
Regarding update and progress, I'll be working a bunch of other stuff that I'll hopefully get the time to post here while I grind away at the update but I took a break of a few days and now I'm energized again to jump back in. FYI, it's another "longer" event update (Drex's errand) and as much as I prefer to go back to the open-world/small-event by event type of format, I need to get some things out of the way that this longer event will do for me.
Once the next update is done, I'm sure I've introduced every "main" characters for this route. We'll see but do look forward to it!
