Hey everyone! Bringing you another weekly update on the next chapter of My True Desire. 👀

Am I a bit late? Yes, but not out of laziness! This week was really busy for me: I had medical exams, dentist appointments, and a bunch of other things to do… but let’s get to the important stuff!

Production on Chapter 04 is going full steam ahead. I’m honestly feeling much better now and can clearly see the progress, because I finally created specific goals and I’m actually managing to hit them! 📈💯

Setting these goals also gave me a better sense of how challenging it is to reach them. I used to think that things like creating a new sprite for Ana wouldn’t take more than a couple of hours, after all, it’s just “giving her a new look” and reusing expressions I already have... but yesterday I ended up spending the entire day just on that one sprite.

I’ve also realized that, in general, MTD’s artwork takes way more time to create than I thought, even when using AI. Getting the perfect pose, in the perfect setting, with the perfect composition is REALLY hard.

On top of that, there’s all the Photoshop work, and then you have to hope the AI generates exactly what you want. And to top it off, the next image needs to match that environment too, which makes the task even trickier, haha!

But I’m not complaining. I just wanted to share a bit of the process since I know a lot of people wonder about it. Maybe one day I’ll post a full timelapse of creating an artwork for everyone to see.

And just to wrap up: as you saw in the roadmap, my goal is to release Chapter 04 in August. I’m 98% sure I’ll finish it by then, but I don’t know yet if it’ll be in the first or second half of the month. Either way, I’ll keep you all updated.

Big hugs to everyone! A new teaser for Lover tier and above is coming this Saturday, see you then! ❤️
