Requesting Illustrations

Added 2021-03-09 17:34:50 +0000 UTC

Hey guys, this post is mostly for those of you at the $20 tier, but I wanted to share it with everyone in case others are interested in upping their pledges ;)

Starting in the next release there will be a new toggle in the settings popup for showing illustrations. For this version it will start as toggled off, because there aren't illustrations yet! However, when you toggle it on you'll start to see a placeholder image in many of the passages. This placeholder represents a spot where a $20 patron can request an illustration.

After a release, $20 patrons can send me the passage they want illustrated, using the passage name that's display when you turn debug mode on. For example, if someone wants the passage where Casey tries on the party dress, they would say "Tufty, I'd like '15-dress-shop' illustrated please!" Then in the next release there would magically be a new illustration there, and hopefully the $20 tier patron would feel a sense of accomplishment and happiness for contributing their hard-earned money to the project ;) New illustration requests will always be after a new release, and will be included in the release after. If I can't get to your illustration before the release, I'll add it to the backlog and replace the placeholder image with one indicating that the illustration in question is already in progress.

Also, if the patron so desires, I'll include a hover or something similar with their name on the illustration. I haven't quite worked out what that will be yet, but it would be subtle so it's not distracting, and I'd only include it if the patron requests it.

Happy to hear any feedback from you guys!
