Progress report (v0.10)

Hey everyone,

It's been a couple of weeks since v0.9, so it's time for a development update. Things are moving fast, and progress has been solid. A lot of issues have been fixed, long-awaited mechanics implemented, and the story is gaining momentum.

On the mechanical side, most noticeably, the new Memories window has been overhauled, as has the Gear selection window. You'll also see some big new gameplay elements in action. On the visual side, I've refined Eva's 3D model to better match her original look while staying consistent with recent scenes. Her newer bust image sets (bikini, jacket, and more) have been redone, and they turned out great. I've also improved various sprites and maps.

As for the story, to keep it vague, the door is open, but we're not rushing through. Still, it's an exciting point, with big things unfolding.

As I've mentioned before, I'm optimizing the game's file size, as last update pushed it to ~3.6GB. One change already cut it down to 3GB, and there's plenty of room for more reductions, so I expect it to stay about that size for the foreseeable future.

Progress estimates:

Mechanics/gameplay: 80%
Writing: 65%
Story implementation: 40%
Visuals/audio: 60%

See you in a couple of weeks with the update. In the meantime, I'll also be posting some side material (nothing spoilery, mostly extra renders from earlier scenes) to the newly made Super-Fan tier.

Best,
Haldane
