Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it! A cross-country ocean/road trip is basically exactly what this is, and Vane is absolutely my sea slug disney princess XD I'm always excited to hear that people like the characters so far. I've tried to keep the cast balanced between the different personalities.
--I don't have a place I post updates very regularly, I'm afraid. That's a part of the game development process that I haven't figured out how to handle, yet. As I get into these last few months before I plan to post the game, I'll probably post more art updates on the lemmasoft WIP forum for the game, but most of the work I've been doing in writing (though it literally just occurred to me that I could be sharing that too, but I haven't been. Perhaps I should start).
--I'm writing the rough draft of the last chapter and a half and then I have some unfinished ending scenes. I've begun work on the remaining sprites (figuring out good poses, and about half them also have lineart), and I've programmed up through half of chapter 3. I've also changed some of the GUI layout and have some plans to fix up the main menu so more.
