Saturday Update! (Patreon)

Hello again! Good morning!

This week I don't have very much to show since I took monday and tuesday off for some much needed rest. [ Thank you for giving me an environment where I can do so! ]

I also had a bit extra going on at home since I was babysitting my parent's cat for the week. It was very nice to have a companion for a bit!

Current Image Finalization - 533/745 - 72%

For the 3 days I was working, I focused on some smaller sprite sets, so I only completed a record low of 8 sprites ^^; That was 3 unique bases, then a small number of expression variants.

Weirdly, all 3 sets also required a bit of programming since I made the switch from angled 'comic book' bars being included in the sprite image to being separate items [ so I can animate them coming on and off screen ].

I wish I could show you more but... I think I better keep the other 2 sets to myself. They're a bit 'high-action' and I want players to have a good amount of surprises when the game comes out.

So I think that will have to be all 🙏 Sorry for the short update this week!

I'll be returning back to normal work schedule next week of course, so hopefully we can have a more normal update then :)

Though my numbers may continue to be low for the future 🤔 It's just that the remaining art is going to become more challenging. I'm actually nearly finished with the 'Sprites' folder. There's only 16 unfinished sprites left in there [ mostly unique, practically no variants ]. After that, I move on to a folder labelled 'CGs' which has 181 images, most of which have backgrounds drawn in them, so will require more time to draw. Some of them are variant heavy, which is nice- but I think overall they will be 'the hard ones'.

But, as always, that stuff is pretty much irrelevant at the end of the day. I'm just going to keep taking it one day at a time, working on what I can, and moving forward at whatever pace works for a healthy balance.

Speed and productivity are less important than longevity in my opinion. All that matters is sticking to the goal!

Anyways, thank you guys again for allowing me to rest and take some time off. I feel better and I'm ready to get back to my normal schedule!

Stay safe and have a beautiful autumn weekend!
