Animation, Redesigns, and Update V0.3.0

So lets start with the middle, with redesigns.

I decided to start with Anya’s revamp, and I did a little extra in preparation for later builds.

First off- She’s been completely redesigned, and I think she’s improved a lot!

For the second round of development, I went and tried my best to animate her!

I don’t think it looks too bad so far!

And that also leads into the second tier of development. Much like what I did with the tavern’s main scene, I’m learning more about animation, particularly with live2d.

Now, the bad. Adding in these animations is going to require me to go back and re-do pretty much every dialog she appears in.

As this will be counterproductive at this current stage of development (I’ll have to do the same of Olivia once she gets her redesign), only the new scenes are having the animations added, and of course they might be a little weird until I get Olivia’s in and figure out how to properly tie them together into an interesting and pleasing style.

Update V0.3.0 – Corrupt Church

Anyway, on we go! This update primarily focused on fleshing out corruption by adding a new, darker side to the church on the second floor.

There you can engage in the more… carnal side of magic during the night, or at least… you will be able to. It’s only got a little content right now, so it will be a little bare-bones until I can flesh it out entirely.

You can currently manipulate your corruption and drop purity fairly quickly through it’s currently available actions… as well as get curses.

Special Update Instructions

Nothing too major, but make sure to disable autodash and save before you update and transfer over saves. The function is disabled (and set to always on) and it kinda screws with it unless you do this, and you’ll end up slow forever.

    blessings.

Changes
