Welcome Home: Post-Gamejam plans!

Hello everyone! Scales and Tails is here to give a little update on my plans for this thing.

Currently, this project is about as done as I planned it to be before submitting it. While changes in the general story beats happened as I learned what I was capable of executing in the limited time, I  always planned on ending outside and looking out into the woods with the wolf. However, while working on this project, I kept getting more ideas about where this would go, what would happen afterward, and a bigger, more emotional ending for this little project. So, This is gonna be worked on a little longer! 

Here's the timeline for what I hope to accomplish over the next few months:

June 20th: First minor patch. Bugs with sprites, backgrounds, and sound hopefully be fixed, and a proper about and credit section will be put on the main menu. I'll also work on some of the more awkward sentences. I'll also talk to my writers/editors to see who wants to stay on past this point. If they do, we'll try for an update once a month. If not, I might just need to manage once every other month to make sure things come out more polished than this release.

June 30th: First minor content patch! I plan to swap from images to drawn backgrounds at this time. Most likely will not be able to complete them all, but will try to update them every update this point on. Also, add more unique pose transitions, effects, and other kinds of stuff. I'll also expand on the earlier bits, I understand how fast some of the writing was getting to the actual date with the wolf, and I want to round those out and feel less empty, hopefully.  I estimate maybe 400-700~  additional words. I'll also choose by this update if I want to update sprites or keep using the sprites from My Wolf . I don't plan to monetize this currently, but that might change as August hits and I have to head back into college. For now, though, no monetization is planned, and the sprites remain the same. 

July 20th: The first content patch! Advancing the story past its current ending to explore the town more and maybe meet more people! Get a full lay of the land and enjoy a more fully developed story! Hopefully not have anything break again! I haven't started mapping out what to include in this update, so I'll use this time to work out what, where, and how the story will be heading. Expect around 1,000-2,000 words per update If this remains solo, but we'll see where this goes!

Every 20th after updates to writing and story until it's complete! I imagine this lasting until December, but it might go longer/shorter depending on how things go.
