1- Prototype of the new version of the game

Hi! I’ve created a prototype of the new version of $$$ Welcome to Alabama! It’s legal bro! $$$. Given that this version is REALLY experimental, I’ve reserved it for patrons paying more than $5/month, once improved, I will make it available for other patrons when it is more complete.

You can customize Gwendolyn (by clicking on the bed), which is very interesting because it will allow adding hairstyles, clothes and obviously different stages of pregnancy.

In addition to being customizable, Gwendolyn’s animations are smoother, there is also an animation of her mouth when she speaks (the duration of this mouth animation depends, just like the sounds symbolizing her speech, on the speed of the text, if the text scrolls instantly, you will not see the animation of her mouth).

These animations are also MUCH lighter, the game lost 60 MB when I replaced the animations (the images that allow me to make the new dialogue animations are about 300 KB in total).

However, only Gwendolyn’s DIALOGUE animations are changed, the animations used during scenes or when Gwendolyn waits at a place on the map remain unchanged and are not customizable.

I will also improve the dialogue animation to be able to place it anywhere (for now it can only be in the middle, that’s why I removed the Gwendolyn sprites present in the info menu, however this can be fixed by placing the elements in a “Frame” that can be positioned wherever you want).

Do not load a game where you were in the middle of a dialogue with the old dialogue sprites of Gwendolyn, you would find yourself talking alone because the old dialogue sprites have been removed.

2- Poll results

As for the survey results, 1 veteran and 3 pioneers voted for the pharmacist, against 2 veterans and 1 pioneer who voted for the saleswoman, which makes (1x2) + 3 = 5 for the pharmacist and (2x2) + 1 = 5 for the saleswoman, so there is a tie, so I will add a little new content for both. I will also try to create their outfits and hairstyles so that Gwendolyn can cosplay them.
