AHOY!
Mr. MegaloDEV here.

First of all, both Mrs. MegaloDEV and I are floored at all the direct support we've received these past few weeks. We actually just cracked $200/mo the other day on Patreon alone. This is an IMMENSE step towards affording our commissions each month. From the bottom of our hearts, Thank You!

We are finishing up 0.0.8 parallel to establishing a solid content pipeline and a major overhaul to the game's aesthetics. We've also made a couple edits to rewards for Scuba Divers and Deep Sea Divers. Read below to find out more.

32x32 
For supporters not up to date on discord and the public, we are switching to a different tileset which will be 32x32 vs the currently in use 48x48 tilesets. The reason for this is we feel 32x32 better matches our internal vision for how the final version of the game will look. Obviously the existing maps are being remade (most of them had to be anyways as they were just quick placeholders). Sprites are also a concern. We'll most likely utilize vx ace sprites as placeholders until we can afford to start rolling out custom sprites for the entire cast of characters.

Commissions
We are moving full steam ahead here. Past 0.0.8 content, the design for the town's blacksmith was just recently finished along with a qipao for Emma to wear during a major story event in Act 1. Both have previews up on the discord. Work will soon begin on the [Mayor's Maid]. We are also doing something a little different for her. Once her nude design is done three maid outfit designs will be sketched out and a poll for Scuba Divers will open. The poll should open before the end of the month.

Reward Tweaks
We've tweaked the rewards for Scuba and Deep Sea Diver tiers. Scuba Divers will now get access to both content priority polls and design polls while Deep Sea Divers will get "double" votes alongside HQ 4k renders of the CGs each month. As said above the first design poll will be the maid outfit.

New Content Roadmap
Not including QoL updates, bugfixes, etc this is what we have planned for the next few releases:

 Until next time.
