Visual Novel and Batgirl Update

Hello everyone!

To get the short and bad stuff out of the way first, the Batgirl set may take a bit longer to finish than expected. This isn't due to the commissions or posts I have to make every day. This is due to the fact that the training data on Batgirl wasn't as extensive as I originally thought. This means a lot of the pictures come out looking the same no matter how different or many prompts I give. And they especially come out looking butt ugly.

So what's gonna happen with the Batgirl set? Well since it was the #1 most voted character, of course I'm still releasing what I already made. I will spend another day, maybe 2 trying to get some good results. But if those images really don't live up to my standards, then I'll have to abandon the Batgirl set.

As a consolation, like I said, I'll of course release the ones that came out good. Which at this point may be around 20 images give or take. BUT, I'll also take a look at the second most voted character on the poll and release a full set of them as well!!

Secondly, my next visual novel game!! I've been making slow but great progress! I know a few weeks sounds like I should have the first build nearly done, and while it's close, that's not entirely true. Building all the core mechanics and making all the art for the UI, backgrounds, and characters from scratch the first time will take a while. But once everything is already built, iterating and adding will be much faster.

This is everything I have done:

1. 17 buildings/locations built + most interactions with locations completed
2. Mechanic to upgrade buildings
3. Resource gathering
4. Questing and journal system
5. Physical and social stats and their individual leveling systems
6. Companion availability and affinity systems
7. Schedule and logic for location availability throughout the week

What I need to add before release:

1. Characters
2. Mechanic to construct buildings
3. Background, UI, and character images
4. Exploration
5. Combat system

There you have it! I know that sounds like a lot, and honestly it is a little. I ran into a snag with the questing mechanic and it was a huge pain in the butt. But, I did overcome it and have now made some huge strides and breakthroughs with the city management aspect. So I'll be moving onto exploration and combat very very soon!

That's all for now, thank you for reading. And as always, thank you all so so much for sticking with me! I love you all so much. You will forever have my appreciation!!
