# Plot

uhhhh chaos emeralds. split weeks into "episodes" like an anime series, spend first few setting up world, introducing characters, etc, have a big boss battle every few weeks. Throw in some camping/beach/etc episodes.

# Activities...

Random monster fights... Fair grounds, dates, shopping trips... what do girls do again

# Scope

Maybe have a big Persona 3 style dungeon for battling in... Always have something to do, level up opportunities...

1 year story? As fun as it would be, doing a princess maker style age-up system would take a lot of work.

character portraits rendered in Live2D style layers?? Easy to reuse animations, allows costumes to be customisable, etc. Solution - Cute2d

# Character stats

Calculate at end of day? Week? Have physical growth (height, weight, etc) as well as stats, influenced by diet/activities?

Physical stats - Strength, speed, etc Ability stats - Modifiers - Cat ears (important)
