A drink with... friends?

Hey guys,

still early here and a lot to do for me today. So before I now start to work, here is what I've done this week:

Began the week with replacing many of the ingame icons for items.. This process is still ongoing and I plan to exchange more of them in the future.
After that I worked on new character sprites.
Then I did some tests to balance some new items that I want to fill in at around level 10 (because that is the point where the current enemys get to strong fot the MC without new gear) The new gear is to be acquired with the crafting system I want to add with 0.2.3.
So to be clear: There won't be any gear in the shops.

I've added xp to some quests and made some other minor changes, some of them quality of life changes (like an option to sell all potions to Lucius at once).
After that I started reworking some old images of which I didn't like the quality. For now I focus on images related to the inn (don't want to slow down the release of the next update with this) This also has another reason, I made a new outfit for Kate in the tavern and this of course means she has to show in EVERY image with alternative outfit..

I also started to work on the animations for Kate which took most of yesterdays time still got to implement them and test if they work out. And as I also want to add an animation for Claire this work is far from complete.

So what's left to do?
Quite a lot. Most of the dialogue writing isn't done yet and besides showing some flashy new scenes with Kate I actually want to tell a story with this update.. So I expect some long workdays next week and also some work over the weekend.
I still plan to release the update by the end of next week. In best case on friday but this will depend on how quick I get everything done and if animations work out and don't need rework.

As I got reminded it's thanksgiving for some of you so I wish you a nice holyday!
To all else have a pleasant weekend!
