Alpha v8.2 and Twins Plans (Patreon)

Our plans for v8.2 consist of adding some animation and gts behaviour variety, add a new interaction, and add a few optional mechanics to the environments while improving their visuals a bit. As well, we'll fix a couple of pain points from the last update. Overall, a small update.

We predict a month of development as my life has gotten busy again. In our free time, we are working on the twins since they possess many challenges. There are three major challenges ahead of us.

1) Dialogue. We want the option for both twins or only one twin on the map. As such, we need double the dialogue. Even if we mirror the dialogue between each other and only tweak the wording to better match their personality, it's still a lot of a work. For reference, Akipo currently has about 1.6k lines of gameplay dialogue. So we only need 3.2k lines for the twins if we want to match the current amount of variety.

2) Two gts. The game for a long time has only assumed one gts to simplify the game's development. We still only have ideas on how to have two gts on the map without causing pure chaos.

3) Everything else. New animations, new icons, new footwear, new a lot of things.For the twins, there is no set-in-stone release update. When it's ready, it is ready. We may release an early test update when a major part is done.
