Hey hey!
Whew! Okay! We got the crossover chapter done and dusted! Though, as I mentioned before, I was doing some occasional Update 15 preparations here or there while working on the crossover chapter, now I'm fully focused on working on it again!
Visuals-wise, this update is one of the most ambitious we've done so far. Every time Blain and I sit down to come up with a new gimmicky CG we come up with more and more stuff, and it becomes the most ambitious CG to date. The last one that I think I could say that about was the baths with the Captain and the Commander. We had a lot of work on that one and poor Blain had a lot of drawing work, what with me wanting to pan the "camera" back and forth, then remove one or the other of the scene while keeping the scene's lighting working... oh boy!
Well, for this one, we have a big CG that we've been working on for quite a while! It, in fact, served as a base for the new Weary Soldier tavern background already and there's still a lot to finish. We needed some of it done to know some things for the Gluttony Edwin presentation CG that you all have already seen, too. We have that done, so now... to work! Both of us are hard at work on it!
On my side, I'm at the writing stage for Update 15 right now. I've had these events in my head for the longest time, and it feels good to finally get to them! Good, but also a bit daunting! I want to make it as good as it can be. Gonna do my best to make sure it happens. This update should cover a lot, and I expect it to be a bit on the longer side. That's partly why Update 14 ended up being a bit short and cliffhang-y. If I had merged Update 14 with the events that came after together, it would either be a gigantic quadruple update that would take way too long, or cut the update at an even worse spot in the middle of the action. In the end, I did what I thought was best!
But enough of my rambling! I'm writing it and working on some super special visuals that I now think you guys know enough about that I can showcase previews soon, so keep an eye out for that here on Patreon! I just won't show the ones that spoil the things that come later. I'll show those after the update. ;)
I'll show you all a very special little preview of those here:
And it's VERY special indeed because, though we drafted it while talking about the events, I THINK this one will not make it to the final version of the CG. ;) But it might give you an idea of what else is in store around it. There's so much more, though... So much more!
Alongside these update news, I have not one, but TWO big things I'm working on cooking on the side as well. One of them is a possibility of a very special merch that might finally open the way to more cool merch stuff after that if it works out. The other... the other is a very, very cool prospect for the much-awaited Commander Brigham bad ending. ;) Both are big surprises! It's still too early to know if either of them will REALLY work out, but I hope they will! As soon as I'm sure it will and have stuff to show, I'll let you guys know more!
Alright, this is it for this one! I'll make more devlogs as I go and show some previews of what's cooking! There are some good things in store for this one! I'm very excited. :D
Cheers!
