I've got my work cut out for me between now and the version 7 update, but in case anyone is interested in development notes, here's the breakdown:
Scale the game window up to 1366 x 768 (done)
Scale down all images to save space without reducing in-game quality (done)
Remodel all of the player's conversation portraits as promised in the poll (working on it)
Readjust all image events in the game to display at the new correct scale (not done)
For those of you who want to see something a little more tangible, here's a Gif of all the player's new idle images (excluding the belly images, work in progress). Each frame is a weight gain stage with 100 frames for 100 stages (doubled from 50).
You may need to click on it to activate it.
For those who are concerned that the growth gets a little too big, I'll add methods in future chapters to burn off the calories. Keep in mind that 100 growth stages is a lot and I don't think all the possible meals in Chapters 0-1 even reach a third of this new maximum size, so it should take awhile to go from stick to thicc.
