Hello again friends! It's nearly the end of July! 

I hope you're managing to stay cool! Anyway, let's get into the update :)

I had a very slow start this week. I went to family wedding last weekend and ended up awake all night with a hangover [ after a week of barely sleeping ] so for Monday and Tuesday I crashed really hard and got very little done ^^;

But I managed to get my shit back together on Wednesday and got back into the writing flow and still managed to get a fair amount of script written I think!

I completed the script for Day 3, which is a new day in the script [ the original game had 2 days of torture, then the ending day. This game has 3 ]

I used an element from an ending I cut for being boring and souped it up, giving it a lot more attention and hopefully changing a weaker part of the old game into something a lot stronger in the new one.

So now I have 3 chunks of script left to write:

Night 3 [ which is fairly complicated- the player might not do anything on night 3, but there is the possibility to do a lot. There will be a very in-depth sequence in there ]

Day 4 [ Which is less robust- it's really more just two possible endings ]

5 'loose' endings which don't actually have a specific time to occur in the script, and are instead triggered by stats [ like the ending in the original where you run out of HP ]

Still a fair amount of work, but I'm gonna just keep trucking as usual and we'll get there eventually!

I also tried scribbling out some hairstyles for Ren because I still feel like I'm unsure of what I want

Buuuut I'm still not sure. I think I just need to keep experimenting and maybe do some higher effort sketches.

I also feel like I'd like to do a trial run for ink weight and shading approach for my sprites. But that's not a very high priority right now since I still need to finish the script and then put in actual placeholders for all the art.

But it doesn't hurt to think about it!

Anyway, thank you guys so much for your support!!!

I'll be doing a credits post sometime soon to credit people for their high tier support in July.

Stay cool, fan fun, and have a safe weekend guys! ^o^

I get so giddy each time I read these updates I can't wait for this to be finished. As for Ren's hair I think the first one is my favorite. The bangs are adorable. I see his messy, unkempt hair as a sign of neglect and having it long enough to grab makes a lot of sense for Strade to be forcefully dragging him around and whatnot

I personally like all the haircuts besides the buzz cut. I feel that the bottom left gives an older look and should just be for TPOF Ren. Just my thoughts though, I’ll love how he looks either way :). I’m loving the concept art aggh! I get excited whenever an update comes out and there’s art ^u^ Nice work ☺️

Okayy Ren with the buzz cut just awakened something inside of me 🫡

Oh! I like how the first sketch of Ren looks. If I can give a suggestion, it would be nice to see him with long and somewhat messy hair. I don't know why, but being with Strade gives me vibes that he would have spent a long time without combing or taking care of himself at all

I like the 4th Ren sketch, but they all look great!

Personally, I’m not a fan of the buzz cut. Ren’s luscious locks are iconic, honestly. But him having one would be an interesting insight into Strade’s feelings towards Ren. Buzz cuts may not be either of their first choice, but it could show that Strade cared in some way. If Ren’s hair had started to become matted because of neglect of personal hygiene, Strade could have decided to just cut it all off him, it is the most efficient way to get rid of matting. The “cared” part comes in when you think about how uncomfortable matting is, and how many issues it can cause. I don’t believe Strade wanted Ren to suffer from *that* type of neglect. Such an experience for Ren could also explain his later obsession with luxury hair/fur care. So in conclusion: it could be a choice which shows a lot.

this is an interesting idea and I definitely want to sketch a bit on this and see if I like it too!

I really love the bottom right one, I wonder how he'd actually look after his hair given his circumstances

Pinkie Pie
