Hello, hello. Practice time's over, and now it's time to get back to working on the next update. Since the last update mostly focused on the game's logic, I decided this one will focus more on content and art. Like I said in previous posts, I'm still not happy with the current art, so I'm going to push my skills and see how it goes. I'll still work on logic and technical stuff but not as much as I did for the last update.
As for the next update plan, I don't have all the exact details yet, so I made a very general list.
Writing:
Claire's second stage review.
Claire's third stage.
Claire's fourth stage.
Claire's fifth stage. (Not likely)
Claire's daughter's introduction.
Art:
Claire's third stage scene/s.
Claire's fourth stage scene/s.
Claire's fifth stage. (Not likely)
Claire's daughter introduction scene/s.
Living room area.
Kitchen area.
Logic and mechanics:
Interactable object pop-up.
In game guide for unlocking events.
Scenes background node logic improvement.
Transition animations.
Mouse detection bugs.
Dialogue manager plugin integration.
Like I said, I don't have a very specific plan for the next update apart from focusing more on the art. Priority of some of the planned stuff might change depending on how things go.
About new characters. I'm having some trouble deciding how Claire's daughter should look so I'm not sure if she'll be included in the next update. I'll probably make a poll and let you help decide her design.
Also, I've been practicing more animation and sketching things that could be useful for current or future updates. Some of these sketches might end up being used in future events/scenes. If you like or dislike anything in particular, let me know!
