Malevolent Planet 2D - Debriefing

Hey! As mentioned in my previous post, I've returned.

This isn't a status update, but a post in which I will lay out my plans to make sure everything is transparent in terms of development.

There are 2 development plans, one from today until around 10th of November (Plan A) and another one from 11th of November until the end of November (Plan B). Each of them should correspond to a content build release, meaning that we should ideally get 2 new releases from now until the end of November to make up for the missing release of October.

Plan A:

• Exporting the new clothing sprites for the new main character chibi, there are a ton of clothes I have to export.
• Animating 2 CGs. Finished drawing 2 CGs last week, they are part of the content that's supposed to be included in the dark forest sample gathering content update.
• Fixing bugs and finishing updating the codebase to accommodate the new chibi sprites for the main character, I have a bit of an issue right now so this may be the task that takes me the longest.

Plan B:

• Some content where your character assists in helping Morris cure Ted and Alberto of their "malady"
• Making the entirety of the ship freeroam-able (by adding an elevator in-between ship floors). Freeroam content will be possible soon since Ted and Alberto will be returning to their posts after their treatment.

If both of those are taken care of by the end of November, then I will advance towards the village plot while including some content suggestions received from Patrons. This content wasn't available in the text game, but it may be fun and you might like it. More details on those later.

By the way, I don't know if most of you have also played the text game but feel free to send me a PM with whether you'd like me to release an update for the text game in the upcoming future, because if I get more positive messages towards this idea I will make a poll to see what the general opinion leans toward and I'll abide by the poll's results.

Thanks for reading this and I wish you a nice week!
