Hey hey!
Time for another devlog in which I try to keep my rambling thoughts of how things are going short and probably end up writing a wall of text!
Maybe it'll be a little shorter since it hasn't been THAT much time since the last one... And not THAT much has changed! For the first time since the beginning of the project, the amount of art behind this update has sneaked up on us. Though we've been actively working on it for months already, there are so many details and things that are not everything is ready just yet. We FINALLY have absolutely EVERYTHING drafted up and sketched, so now it'll only be a matter of time before it gets lined up, colored, shaded, etc., artist lingo. I'm not an artist, so you'll have to excuse me, but Blain knows what he's doing!
Up there, we have a small preview of the process. A special one that I thought fit the devlog! As things get finished, I'll still share more previews with the previews tier. At least one of the things that are not super spoilery! I'd say that maybe... about... 60% of the CG content is very spoilery? Some things, like what you see above, you might already know will happen, and still seeing it without context doesn't say much, but other things... Not so much! Still, I'll just share the rest after the update, as always.
I know everyone is looking forward to this update with its big events. Especially after the break for the collab chapter! I promise I'm doing my best to get it to you ASAP! The good news is that, once the art is finally done, it'll likely only take an extra week or two of me hardcore coding it all up to get it done. It will be... a little challenging. Coding with sprites is the norm, and this is a very special thing we have here, but I have it all planned out! I very much hope it'll be worth all the extra work! I think the Edwin lovers will have a full plate. And we'll also have a character that I bet most people are not expecting to be featured in the CG as well. ;)
In the end, the timing worked well. I had the ambition of finishing up the update before my US trip that is coming up in June. Though I finished the writing and everything else, with the art not done, there isn't much I can do. While I'm less available there, Blain will be working hard to finish it all up so I can get back to it ASAP.
Oh, and by the way, I think I already mentioned it before, but I'll mention it again! Both Raus (from Shelter) and I will be at Anthrocon in PA this year at the beginning of July! If you happen to go there, look for the tall guy with the Sleth/DW badge and say hi! :D It'll be my first big furry con, so I'm looking forward to it.
For now, apologies for the delay in the update. We're doing all we can! Thank you for the support!
Cheers!
