Thank you for your support! I'm still moving slowly, but here are the rough draft sprites for the other two characters I have planned:
Diane
Hobby: fashion, choral singing
Aspiration: veterinarian
Talent: studying/memorization
Judith's neighbor and friend, although they're the kind of friends who seem like they don't actually get along. She's leaving for her first year of graduate school in about a week. I couldn't decide on her hairstyle, but now I think I prefer the bun.
Madeline
Hobby: video games, cryptozoology
Aspiration: historian/folklorist?
Talent: swimming
At the start of the story, Judith doesn't know her, but thinks she's seen her around. I don't feel like I have a very good handle on how to write her yet, so she probably won't appear much in this release of the game.
I haven't started drawing the final sprites, but I did figure out how to make transparent images in GIMP, and I've started learning basic Ren'Py functions:
Sorry these are so small! Also, sorry I used my mouse to draw that bunny.
