Apart from giving our beloved cutie-patootie a goth makeover, which will be accompanied by a short-side quest and new degeneracy content, we're also updating Andre's dialogue sprite!
Also, before we get any further, don't forget to check out Hanako's latest update! It ended up being one of the biggest ones we've made, and it truly has it all. Especially the spice. In fact, it's mostly spice and occasional wholesomeness — just the way you love 'em.
This isn't really a redesign per se, even if her new sprite might look different from the old one at first glance, and more of an attempt to bring it closer to the way Andre appears within the scenes. When we originally added Andre into the game, we kinda half-assed her existing dialogue sprite thinking that no one would care about some random confused girl. Turns out, we were wrong, and now we're attempting to make up for our lack of judgement.
The design is still work-in-progress, and we will continue making adjustments to make sure it stays as close as possible to how everyone remembers this sweet bun.
Her new sprite will be compatible with the layering system we've implemented last year, which would allow us to customize the clothes and makeup, add new facial expressions or gestures, and just generally simplifies the process of working with anything related to her dialogue sprites. That means we'll be able to give her goth outfit both within the spicy scenes, and outside of them too!
Also, in case you were wondering, her goth phase won't be permanent. She will only wear the new costume during her (repeatable) side-quest and during new sex scenes that are coming as part of this update. If people would want to see more of Goth Andre, we're open to the possibility of adding her new clothes as a skin to the existing scenes, or further expanding this dress-up questline. But it's too early to even think about that, so we'll host another poll after her gothic update goes public.
