The trains are leaving even if we're late. I have to admit, I seriously underestimated the amount of work for the trailer and didn't finish it before the conference. But no regrets - let's catch the train and make it to AdventureX anyway!

Zoti animation is also evolving. Here is a new walk circle!

And here comes the next pair, an Engineer and a Worker - non-interactive environmental characters from Wakefield

Yoohoo! Next journey step is made! Tons of things to learn and fill ahead =)

Meet John and Jane - a cute couple from Wakefield Town. They are secondary characters spending their afternoon at the cafe, helping Zoti get to the train.

Hunt for the inspiration led me to London Coliseum for the Carmen.

Add something Roman to the game? 🤔

That's totally fine, and to be honest, I would be super grateful if you would make more posts in this state. Because mine looks the same, but I feel so bad about it. Everybody shares such polished "WIPs", so that feeling makes me think that I'm doing everything wrong...

AdventureX conf is in 1 month. I plan to make a Steam page till then... Taking into account a 2-week cooldown and an extra 2-3 business days to validate the trailer when it's ready, looks like quite a tight challenge... Wish me luck 🤞

Preparing storyboard for the trailer - raw and drafty, but already have most of the scenes planned. At least briefly!

Just few more seconds, but they makes a significant story shift!

First steps with an announcement trailer! Zombie's rig needs a lot of improvements (for instance, eyes are completely still), but I think I will make a full-length draft and only then will I jump into polishing!

We've been down before, but we always come back fighting!

New env for Zoti's Father is ready. Time to send him to this field - it's starved for some weeding!

Today's mood... Drawing, erasing, redrawing, losing hair

And since the trailer should have a close-to-final look and art style, I created a short vertical slice of the episodes I want to include and began developing the required backgrounds and characters... It looks like a very long ride.

After a long thought, I decided to change the strategy for the next few weeks/months and focus on making an announcement trailer to be able to launch a Steam page.

Yes, this is just a day! Take some rest, tomorrow all will get in shape again!

PS: Here is a warm wings-hug for you!

It could be a good day. It could be a bad day. The only thing that matters is your dedication to the goal!
