#troutc updates

To clarify, our story won't be an actual visual novel video game. Instead, it'll be a sequence of images! Me and the rest of my Clanmates will each have our own sprites, for moods & appearance changes. For the more serious matters (like a new cat joining us, for example), those will receive their own illustrated pictures!

A huge thank you to those that participated in the poll to help decide how TroutClan's story should be told!

That is all for today's Clan meeting! I may be getting old, and we may have only just settled here in this territory at the seashore... but there's still a lot of seasons left in me to guide my Clan into many misadventures!

Happy fishing!"

a visual novel! this won't be playable and, instead, just be screenshots styled like a visual novel! the characters will each have their own sprites, including having sprites for different emotions/scenarios. there will be a little icon near the dialogue box to show if the interaction was good, bad, etc. for more serious moments, there will be fully illustrated pieces behind the dialogue. here's a quick example (the background wont be a solid color like this, they'll be different based on the cats' location):

And the other idea i've had to do the moons was...

2) an animated video series! this will have limited animation, meaning there will be little to no animated movements (like a PMV, picture music video). i'll try to make an original troutclan soundtrack for this, if this option ends up having the most votes! i'm thinking about having the artstyle and music taking inspiration from the cutscenes from Hotel Mario! Or just inspiration from the CD-i game cutscenes in general.

but that's about it! out of all of these, the animated video option would take me the longest, since i have an animated video i've been procrastinating i'm currently doing

Alright that's enough yapping LOL!!! HERE'S THE POLL!!! It end in one week from now, so I'll post an update with the results then!

Silverwatcher formed many friendships throughout her youth as a wandering rogue. She kept the tradition of her Clan ancestry alive: by forming a Clan with her friends! They went on many whacky adventures, getting into trouble with Twolegs, even outsmarted a pack of wolves! But when most of them became senior warriors, with three friends called the Tricky Three joining them soon after (Violetkit, Tempestkit, and Flykit), Silverwatcher decided "all this traveling is fun, but let's find a permanent home to settle down & think about our future".
