Weekly Progress Report + Community Recolor 2 skin color poll results

Hey everybody! We're finally getting back on a somewhat regular update schedule (though a little later than intended because I was celebrating a friend's birthday), which means it's time for a progress report and the next part of the community recolor poll!

First off, progress report. I don't have much to talk about this week, since I was still out for the count for most of the week thanks to the medication problem I talked about in my recent update, but I finally got back in the swing of things yesterday. I made some headway on importing the new/rewritten cutscene scripts into our localization files, and I plan on continuing (hopefully finishing) that work tonight, once I'm done with writing this update. Once the text is all imported I can get started on actually implementing the cutscenes, which is going to be the next major task that I work on.

Here's our daily updates from the last week:

Orex is working on some fun stuff, and if it goes well I'm looking forward to sharing some of that soon!

Alright, on to the recolor poll! Here are the results of the first poll, to decide on Alicia's skin tone for each recolor:

For the most part the Patreon/Discord votes were in agreement, except for Recolor 3, where Skin B got enough votes from Discord alone to surpass the combined votes for the runner-up, Skin A.

Now that we've got our base skin color decided, we're going back to holding votes the same as last time: along with progress reports, we'll vote to decide the general color scheme of the next set of options, and then later in the week I'll post a few variants of those colors that you guys will choose between.

With all that said, the next thing we're voting on is Alicia's shirt (not jacket) color! As always, you can pick as many options as you want, and the poll will end in a few days, so get your votes in asap!

Aaaand that's about all I have for today. I know there wasn't a lot to this update thanks to the whole medication thing, but I'm going to try and get into a rhythm of doing at least a little bit of work every day to try and build some momentum up again. My work for the next little while isn't gonna be super exciting to talk about, since I don't want to spoil anything about the story rewrite, but with any luck the altered cutscenes won't be too difficult to implement; a lot of them do share a very similar outline as the old cutscenes (with a few very notable exceptions), so I don't think the tweaks will be TOO difficult to make for the most part.

Anyway, that's enough rambling from me for today. Thank you all so very much for reading; remember to get your votes in, and we'll see you again in a few days with the next part of the recolor poll!
