Holy smokes/-ing hot characters! <3

Any wait for THAT is certainly worth it, methinks!
Take your time, Bob, and anyone nagging you should just be politely ignored like a nagging child on a trip to their favorite Theme Park ;-P

This is gonna be one attraction worth practicing patience for, as it looks in those preview screenshots/sprites.

And don't burn yourself out about it either - you know how it is with the Code in the background: there is likely to be some bug hidden somewhere still, no matter how thorough you go over it.

But the overall impression counts - and if you haven't changed much about the Gameplay and story itself, it should be very "enticing" now with the new images and character pictures.

Cheers and I can see the love put into it - already could in the older versions, but this is certainly quite a leap in the visual attraction, whereas in the older versions, the visuals were still good enough to help immerse into the story a lot more intensely, too.
Yet, now they have certainly "Pin-up-Quality" with all the lighting and more immersive/atmospheric shading added to the backgrounds (really, they look stunningly beautiful).

So, I'm looking forward to snuggling up and playing through the new version as soon as you feel it's ready (important part here is the "you" - not anyone else) and good enough to be published.
