Trello Roadmap

**Important**
I have returned from my short hiatus with my moving house situation, so I will be more active and continuing work on the project once more!
There may be some changes but I assure you that the game is almost at a playable state. There will be testing for some of the systems I am adding and that should be in a couple weeks once that system is completed.
Changelog and Updates
General
- New Systems being tested and iterated on, will be removing some of the bloat and keep the game more simplistic with focus on the important core aspects of the game, the visual novel and the combat system.
- Adjustment of Main Menu and quality of life systems
Main Menu
- Adjustments with adding inventory and party elements, along with the familiars page which allows you to look at each characters' non-combat and combat skills, allowing you to view and upgrade their abilities.
Dialog System
- n/a
UI and Asset Design
- Combat Stats bars and Turn Icons
- Placeholder elements for the turn order, background art and characters
Story and Writing
- Adjustment to the main story to focus on a more explorative main story narrative to go to unique places and interacting with interesting characters that you can talk to and romance
- Character story elements have been adjusted to have shorter events with more focus on ero scenes and ero content as you bond with the characters. There will still be character story but it will be shortened in duration (so shorter dialog scenes but still the same amount of ero / CG scenes in general).
- Restructure with the characters, as some characters will appear in different places / times in the story for proper pacing. Will still be adding additional optional characters in the future but I've been focusing on the important ones first.
- The focus will still be on the main three vampire girls, but with a more proper narrative that drives the main character and the girls to complete their goals and fix the Manor!
