Hey everyone. 
This is an update to the previous dev-log about changes I'll be making moving towards V0.02's release.

Story Revisions:

I've started going back through a few of the initial interactions with Arti, as well as a bit of her storyline, and edited what I thought may be either repetitive or unnecessary. I took out a fair bit of the filler and forced waiting scenes that a few people had issues with, and also toned down the MC's behavior in these interactions. I don't want to completely kill the dynamic between Arti and the MC, so it's taking me a bit of time to work out how I want their interactions to go moving forward.

As opposed to doing a complete V0.01 rewrite, I spent a bit of time at the onset of V0.02, after the "outfit" reveals, to have a lull in the story to have something like a training montage for the MC.  There's a bit of reflection and personal growth, and he will be taking a more active role in the story as it unfolds.

Image Revisions:

Moving on to image and render quality, I've spent more time editing and tuning cameras, as well as increasing cameras per scene to try to add more variety to the images.  At the start of the "training montage" that I previously referenced, you may notice a sudden increase in image density as well as a slight shift in things like depth of field, lighting, shadows, and resolution of UV maps and textures.  

Character Revisions:

I've edited the female main characters a bit to try to increase their overall appeal, and to tone down a few of the features that I'm starting to find a little jarring. 

First is Callie:

Callie didn't have any major work done, but I gave her a bit of a nosejob and reshaped her head to make her appear less disproportionate.  The difference isn't hugely obvious, but I think it makes her look nicer.

New Face:

Emma had a fair bit of work done since her face was honestly starting to annoy me the more and more I rendered her into scenes.

New Face:

Again, not a huge change, but enough to at least make her more pleasant (to me.)

I'm not going to post up Yuki updates as they were minor underlying things, like breast curvature as well as hip width and thickness, but she's been updated as well to better fit the ideal image of what I want her character to look like moving forward.

In other news, I've been sick recently (flu), so while that spells disaster for my dwindling supply of Nyquil, it means I don't have pesky things like a job to worry about and can spend more time polishing the writing and rendering.

Thanks for reading!
