Weekly Update (12-9-2024) (Patreon)

A decently productive week. I didn't get quite as much done over the weekend as I wanted, wordcount wise, but I did get a fair amount done during the week, and I did do a fairly in-depth cutscene over the weekend; those can be very time intensive without adding much to the wordcount, haha. Am up to about 57k words now, so it's definitely not like it was unproductive overall.

In other news, I decided to make some new custom sprites for the elite honor guard if you've invested. I'll be backporting these into the v0.13 cutscenes that include them in addition to new content so they aren't just Royal Army sprites in a darker red:


I'm also considering this fancier sprite for Sir Leonidas after that investment:

Thoughts? I'd have to update his portrait to gold armor to go with it, but I did like it the most out of several variations I tried with partial red and partial gold.

Aside from that, Mimo's tablet issue isn't entirely settled, but it's just a matter of delay on someone else's end. I'm going what I can to expedite things there. Probably will just keep quiet on that front until she actually has it in hand, heh.

At any rate, things are still a bit rough IRL, but I'm making progress in spite of that, and also things might finally be moving toward getting the underlying issues there resolved, even if that means things are a bit more demanding in the short term. We press on, as the death knights would say. And for now, back to work on the update.
