Thrallworks Update - Thrallpod Options and Appearance Decisions

Hello all!

No new version this update as the menus arent complete, but even so I figured the purpose of the updates is to show you all what progress has been made, not necessarily that every update will have new playable content. At some point in the near future I'd love for that to be the case, but we need to get more systems and assets in place first. Speaking of assets!

We finally got a viable Live2d asset with the shaders I want into the game! You can watch a more brightly-lit version of this bob in the attachments below. Many thanks to the Gladiator Game for giving me the last pieces of the puzzle on this- I will be sure to reward it handsomely with a good release.

This is L-D19 as you see her when you walk in; body fully converted into thrallflesh, making her paler than she normally is and giving her hair a funky colour- happily, you can set both of them in the appearance menus.

Speaking of appearances!

Alternate Appearances

The title images are not just idle art- it's a decision I've made about how certain appearances are going to go with L-D19. In an ideal world, all outfits/patterns and etc. would be available to her at all time, but the reality of wanting to do CG's as well makes that unviable. So instead, there's going to be certain outfits or looks that will be particular to certain lessons/scenes. The outfit shown there is one I'd want to make specific to the Trust Route, to be used in some early public shows/appearances of that nature.

This will provide a little more variation in which route you choose and what lessons to take without over-taxing my sadly limited resources.

Right now, the work is going to be to continue finishing out this menu and the confirmation-animation that'll follow, though at some point I'll also be doing some 'proper' art for the area of The Wheels where the thrallpod's located, along with the follow-up polls and etc. of what BG characters to feature there.

Injury

I suppose I should also say that I'd hoped more would be done this month, but I seem to have suffered some kind of persistent low-level nerve damage due to various circumstances. I'm trying to sort it out but I figured it is best to mention it now on the <1% chance that, I dunno, I lose all function in my arm.

And on that note, uhhh...enjoy! XD
