About a month later, it’s Update Time! Today’s Update Time theme is:
Hannah!
Another month of Toro toil, another character complete! I won’t be showing her portrait count to preserve secrets for the full game (it’s at least 20 new ones), but ya’ better believe it was a full month’s work!
I can’t stress enough how amazing Toro is for running a Patreon, Twitter, and still having the time to crank our dozens of these- how does the man do it?! Much appreciation for the man making this amazing art possible. He nailed her design language, and I’m really looking forward to everyone seeing it.
Also, @e123b has made major strides in a feature any game like this needs: a character viewer!
Blanked out the peak weight for now
It’s still early, but all of the core features are in. Easy access to characters, unlocked outfits, and unlocked weights. He’s done all the backend work to make this simple to implement, and add any surprises found along the way. We still plan to do another UI pass closer to release, so expect this to look even better by the time it’s out. I had no clue how to dynamically generate this stuff, and it would’ve been an extremely amateur job. Having an actual coder, with a friggin’ degree no less, has already helped immensely, and it’s only going to get better 
As always, mad props to the team making this all possible. I’d be nowhere without them. That’s all for the update, Toro’s flexing for Grace’s new portraits, and e’s plugging away at fixing my code and making everything run right proper. I apologize for the time this is all taking, I’m still planning to have the demo ready by year-end, but at the end of the day we’re all doing what we can with the spare time we have. Regardless, we continue to make progress!
Also, as @chilmistressfreia said, the demo in the first post is indeed very old and will be replaced (along with the whole post) once the new demo’s ready.
@bruh1331 Yep, like Shugoki said (sorry, can only list 10 users per post!), those were all redundant outfits. Toro and I’s first outfit list was very much a moonshot, and as time’s passed we’ve found a few that either aren’t needed for the story, or wouldn’t fit. For instance, we cut a Morgan swimsuit outfit because we discovered she’d be wearing it in winter. Everyone had a few cut (or added!) for reasons like that; it’s hard to plan for everything the first time 
@broughtonr385 No Patreon yet, I’m not taking anyone’s money until I’m sure we can eventually get this game out the door. When the time comes, I’ll be sure to redo the first post and let everyone know 
@thepokendo Unfortunately, Forks isn’t open-ended enough to let players choose their character. This is Alex’s story, and it’s all we can do to tell that much 
@erichtofen, @Condenser, @RandomRedditUser98, @magicmanstan, @tyra-kun246 Whew, that’s a lot of names Thanks! I’m sorry again for all of the waiting I’m making everyone suffer through, but I can at least say that as of this day, it’s still coming!
All righty, I guess that’s it for now. If all goes well, I’ll be back next time with Grace!
