It Was Always About You - Posing Tool

I wasn't sure that I was going to get anything showable for the PIGSquad Finish Your Game Jam, but part way though I realized that a way to more effectively look through sprite stuff for the visual novel I'm working on would be a big help (especially for my dev partner, who has even less of an idea of what to do with the tons and tons of expression combinations). So I did that!

The project this was made for is a visual novel we're calling It Was Always About You. It's a story about loneliness, chess, and magical girls. The protagonist, Hotaru, is an ex-shockjock who struggles to balance doing the right thing with her inherent bias towards the opposite of that. 

Progress on the visual novel is a little slow right now since we have other stuff going on, but this really helped us fill out some missing expression areas. Pretty much the only areas we don't have finished are CGs, backgrounds, and music (which we'll commission when we're a little further along), so hopefully we're looking at a 2022 release... Hopefully haha.
