Progress for more character concept art from sloppy idea-sketch to more formed. Still some planning and thinking to do on him/her but getting there. You can see the original is half mind-changed-scribbles, haha.

Some concept sketches for new character Venyr. He is, as yet, not in any story. But maybe will be?👀 What do you think he does for a living?

Slowly making some tilesets. At least enough for a demo level with everything I need. I'm thinking soft outlines for environment, harder for the characters to make them pop a bit. 🤔 We'll see how it looks once it's up and the character is moving around.

This made my day. This data shows that someone bought the Steam bundle for 4 of my games today but only got *1* game. That means they *already had* the others, and came back for my newest. I see you, beautiful stranger, and thank you for the encouragement and smile. 🥰

Concept art for the speaking sprite busts. Trying to keep it close enough in style and proportions to ve easily recognized. Ignore the sloppiness- I was editing with my finger on a phone 🫠
What do you think?

Indecisive on a couple future projects, so spent some time painting instead while I think.

More artwork and size testing. Different fantasy races have slight height differences- figure "dragon" based on lore should look about to hit their heads on a ceiling. Still just early mockups to see how "tiles" need to be made/sized.🤔

Was in a goofy mood today and decided to paint a crossover just for fun. (Wakuu visits Salsa & Salsa in summer)

Working on making a hand-painted looking "spaceship interior" as it's what I'll need for a demo/test room.

While I finish the polish on X.E.H.A. Rogue and wait to - hopefully 🥺 - get a few people willing to read before release... I am shifting slowly to my next project. My idea is not quite developed enough to share much, but here is a current mockup of my thought process.

Working on Cade's expressions. It takes some time to try to make the expression fit the personality, but it's worth it at the end of the day, I think.

Working on aging up Gina from DotVC. Asked my son what he thinks.
Him: She looks emo.
Me: Hm. Well, she would be a bit, don't you think?
Him: From being traumatized because her blanket is the only thing that saved her?
Me: Well... yeah.
Him: Yeah, ok.

Got the first review on Eyes of Rain. 🥰 Steam discourages devs from commenting unless there is an issue/bug mentioned, but I read and treasure every review from those who took time out of their day to not only play but give honest feedback. Thank you so much!

A few screenshots of X.E.H.A. Rogue wip, the visual novel that connects all of the other storylines by revisiting each of their planets.

New outfit for Igbael? I've been playing around with his design ("god" of a water planet), thinking some fishing influence, maybe? Hmmm.
