HIAW v0.875 Current Status :

Writing: 85%

Coding: 85%

Art: 90%

Animation: 15%

Current release date estimate: 25th May

Pushing the release date back further, writing, coding and art are all on schedule to be completed but animation is lagging behind a lot now. The main animator I was working with moved on to another project and I've been struggling to find a new one to fill the space. I've currently got two different animators doing test pieces so hopefully one of them comes through looking good so I can take them on with more work.

Finding animators has been difficult as the prices are so wildly different, I've been quoted between $20~$400 for a scene, and the cost doesn't necessarily reflect the quality. If time goes on and I still haven't found a new animator I'll put the next update out with no animation and then back fill it with it at a later date. But ideally I want to avoid doing that. Work will still be continuing on writing and art in the mean time anyway so no time is wasted.

On to brighter points, a number of sprites have been updated including a new model for Barbara the fairy, this should make her a lot easier to see whilst still showing of how small she is. The fountain you can add outside your castle is now animated so the water is flowing.

Second draft of all the new scenes has now been completed, one more run through and then a final fine toothed check and they will all be ready to go! Ruth, Sasha, Orla, Maria and Lorel are all getting a new scene this update.

A French translation has now been produced by malo.s and will be added in the next update! It's not fully complete so if you're interested in helping out you can find the translation file in the discord server.

Catch you in the next update!
Love
