Alrighty so I realize that this is not very easy to show off visually, but I wanted to make a quick post to let you all know that I've finally exported the absurd number of images I needed in order to get things updated, and I've placed them all into the game. Some worked fantastic immediately, for example....
Toma here worked pretty good, as all he needed was a 1-to-1 file replacement. Others, however...
Well, at least it gives a nice impression of how sturdy he is now! In all seriousness, once the main boys are all set up properly (which should happen fairly quickly as I think I can essentially copy the code I used for the MC in the latest update), I'll be good to go.
Soooo here's what I'm looking to do! Until the end of November, I'm going to be updating Paul's route in the way I said I would back when this all started. This will mean a rather significant change in his personality (at least, initially), as well as a few changes to certain scenes. Despite the change, many of the same events should remain the same, so the general structure of his route will remain intact.
Once we're in December, I plan to start with the Alan overhaul. This will include the first 5 days of Alan's route (counting the 2 days at the beginning). I will try to post an update in December that has these first 5 days as well as the art and Paul changes. Once we get into January, then I will do Paul's next long-awaited update! From there, I plan to alternate Alan with the other boys until everyone is all caught up.
(Schedule may change slightly when we hit the Rodey Route, as then both routes would need to catch up, but that's a tale for future us)
Looking forward to it!
