Sharing some progress so far

Hey, all!

I have been working with much much joy lately since I could again concentrate on more visual things and I've made a few things which you might find interesting. Now, let's go straight to it!

First thing I've done is revamped Emily's default model. I have tried my very best to preserve her essence and feel as a character while showing some improved rendering. That will be the goal in the future as well, whenever I decide to update a character model. (like I did with Helena in the last update) I have no intention of changing the core of the already established characters if that concerns you in any way.

Next is a new character, which even though is not yet completed, I decided to show anyway. (face and hair is lacking detail) She is a simple maid, serving the Queen in her palace. I wanted to make the palace feel more occupied and alive. She will be involved in some events already made and I will add some smaller dialogue for her retroactively. Nothing major for now, just so it makes sense for newer players.

I'm now also working on a new screen where you can see all the characters you've met. (or haven't) The screen is completely scalable and easily update-able so it's future proof. The screen after you click on the character icon is being worked on right now. The plan is to display some basic stats, description, a full body picture and a progress bar for each character. Later there will also be traits shown and the amounts of activities you've done with the character. Thank you all that suggested this a while back.

Lastly, I've added options to adjust the opacity of the textbox (the image behind the text when you talk to a character) and I've added an alternative image for the textbox - a more modern and simple one. Also, the default font is now changed to a more direct and not over the top serif one. If you wish to change it back, or use the simples one, you can do it all in the preferences. The goal is just to provide you with more ways to customize and play the game like you want.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you're happy with what I'm making so far. There will be a new poll coming so stay tuned for next week. I appreciate you all, Tjop!
