Goals for Next Update

It's been some time! After the jam, I took it easy for a little bit. Now I want to continue working on Liturgy! For the next update, I'm planning to:

• Fix some bugs in labeling speakers, causing Ren'py to make an error screen (thanks to those who found them!)
• Add some music! And sound effects. I'm compiling lists right now from  Kevin MacLeod's website and trawling through free sounds to help make the scenes more interesting.
• NPCs! NPC images are ones I wanted to put in but never had the time for between the coding and the backgrounds and the writing. Now, without the constraints of the jam and also with the majority of backgrounds done, I can start drawing NPC portraits to show while they're speaking. In the screenshots for this update, you can see the beginnings of the portraits for Larkspur and also the concept of the Cradle-Gods' avatars.
• Adding an area: the Observatory. An alternate location to the Indolent Sun's Archives, you can choose to spend your time there instead of the Archives. Alongside the new location will be a new guide NPC and a new power to learn about.

I'm keeping these as the goals for the next update, I don't want to overreach and not address concerns from the first build! Thanks to all who've played, and I hope to continue developing at a good pace.
