Today's update is so different than last week it might give you whiplash...in the DICK!

It started out with an innocent enough idea; "Is it possible to create a working cinema in-game?"
And sure enough, not only did I make it work, it gave me plenty of ideas on how animations could be presented and rewarded than just collecting ten trading cards for a given character.
Besides lifting the restriction of only having one animation per character, it also gives me plenty of ways to reward film reels to the player for viewing at Castle Warrengard's new theater.
At the bottom, you'll see a comparison preview of the first theater layout on the left, and the finalized version on the right after I created bunch of additional assets for a better look.
Also, the "movie" on display is fully functional and animated in-game.

I'll probably go into more detail next week as not every idea I currently have is implemented at this point, and I don't want to give away too much if there is some unseen complication that forces me to scale back on my mental degeneracy.

So that'll do it for today, see ya next week!
