The DemoBots need graphics for cutscenes, too. Yes, they become a joke as the game progresses, but they're a natural enemy for a robot maid.

As the first major cutscene, I have to show the scale without going crazy with drawing too much.

As such, these two DemoBots up front do a bit of acting, and we never see them again.

Plan B for this sequence.

Now with real-time cleaning action, and a stretching sprite for the arm.

Part of the expansion involves a cute little fight right here. ...in space for no apparent reason.

...too bad it won't be as epic as the final boss, but still...

I was considering releasing the expansion today, but then I found a lot of bugs I should've spotted in the original build, and I made the minimap do extra stuff for said expansion.

Don't worry, it'll be out by tomorrow night.

There. One sequence dedicated to the phrase "Breathe it in" has been animated.

It was either gonna be this, or a text box going "*sniiiifffffffff* Ahhhhh."

The hair might need work, though.

The next update may be full of bugs.

...moths, mostly.

Just a reminder. It's coming on the 16th, assuming nothing goes wrong.

Line work first, then shading.

Also, if you're asking "where's her hair?", that's gonna animate separately.

I might have to put this in a little black box on-screen, but that's no problem for me.

The way her telescopic arms work has always been fudged in-game and in art, so I'm wondering if I should animate Pinafore cleaning the family portrait with this sprite-chain arm.
