[Progress Report]: 7th of March

Hey everyone!
Well, it's been two weeks since I've officially gone full time on Superheroes Suck and I promptly let the sense of power go to my head and bit off more than I can chew! What does that mean? That means it's time to finish the revisions once and for all. Let me explain.
As of the last update, Harper and Valentina's training events have been fully replaced and the general pacing of the game has been greatly improved. My goals for Version 0.75 are now as follows:
- Finish Detective Keegan
- Replace all of the slideshow animations with real animations (Four events total)
- Rework nearly half of the code in Superheroes Suck to make it easier to add more content
- Rewrite dialogue for each character to fall in line with the story's new pace
- Finally implement the improved Navigation
- Fix up the Introduction
- Progress the main story
I'm halfway done with the replacement animations. Harper's first oral and her first vaginal scenes have been completely rewritten and now better fit her character's overall arc. I was never happy with these events, so I'm glad to change them into something better. These new, fancier animations will also be made into new repeatable events in the game!
Detective Keegan's poll will be going up this week. I wanted to delay it just a bit so I could get more feedback. I've read the comments on the extra tattoos, hair, and freckles! Those options will definitely be in the next poll, so if there's more you'd like to add, please drop a comment on that post!
I've spent the majority of this week redoing the code of Superheroes Suck. The old system was fairly cumbersome, and I'm working towards something that's a bit more "plug and play." This should include general improvements for everyone when I'm done, including that better navigation that I've been wanting to add in for almost three months now. I usually don't mention when I work on the code to you guys because it's... well, it's hard to show progress. Improved navigation, for example, is something that takes less than second to interact with, and so adds no real content, but affects all of the content in the game since you'll use it all of the time.
I'm predicting that most of the coding work will be done next week, after which I will start redoing Chrys' old handjob and vaginal slideshow animations. If everything goes according to plan, I'll have time to add in a few surprises for you all!
I really want to double down on these revision & replacement events so that, after this is all done, I can go back to focusing 100% of my attention on brand new characters and content. It's been nice to be able to shore up many of the early game weakness Superheroes Suck has, but I'm itching to dive further into the story. There are so many characters, plot threads, and revelations I want to get to.
Anyway, that's it for me this week. I clocked about seventy hours of work on the game from last Monday to today. I know I should probably take it easier, but I really want to fit all of this stuff into Version 0.75. Wish me luck!
Thank you for all of your support,

You make a good point. I'm gong to redo huge swathes of the dialogue, so I'll try and do that!
