Somnova Studios: September 2022 Update

Hello everyone! It's been a while since our last update - sorry about that! We've all been busy with real-life responsibilities (work, getting married, etc.) so progress has been slow these past few months. However, we have some really cool things to show off!

Adam has been working hard at getting this menu looking super polished (and significantly less buggy than the older version), and we hope to polish the rest of the UI just as well as this menu is! Meanwhile, in the art department, we've been adding some more facial expressions for some of our characters who sorely needed some additional emotes. Isolda and Annaliese, for some reason, were a bit stony-faced when we initially made the requests for their initial sprites, and we wanted to add a bit more life to their respective characters. This expression was on another pose, but for some reason wasn't on this si
