This is for those folks that aren't Patrons.
Hey everyone, I have some really HUGE news for this update, so please, please, PLEASE read what I have to say. I know there's a lot here, but it's extremely important!
It's with a heavy heart that I make this announcement, but CursedMarked and I will no longer be working together. In the best interest of our friendship and the project, we have come to this agreement and will no longer be working together. This actually revolves around some of the personal reasons we had to cancel IDEKA as well. Overall, it's better for both of us to go this direction. The past several months have been really stressful for us, and this is the best option. It's really unfortunate, and I'd never be where I am today without him. Thank you so much for all you've been able to help me do, my dear friend.
So, what does that mean for Extracurricular Activities? Well, it just means I'll be using a new artist. The overwhelming amount of feedback I received on my post back in January made me feel confident that the project will still push forward, even with a change in artists. I know this will yield mixed feelings, but I'm letting folks know now, in case you are only here for the art and want to back out before the month changes.
I am happy to say that I do have a solution already, and from this point on, I'll be working with Bigfingers Games Inc. (or better known as CaptainGerBear). As some of you might know, he's seen huge success with his own games Bastard Bonds (on Steam!) and See No Evil, and he's on board to bring his professional work and advice to Extracurricular Activities. You can see from the work I'm sharing that he's already hard at work, so stay tuned and see what else is in store!
This is just a small example of more to come.Keep in mind, there is a huge difference in the style of the two artists, and CaptainGerBear is working to keep things are true as possible to their designs. There is a lot of work to do, and there is much much more to come, so stay tuned for that.
Public demos won't see any major changes until at least Update 1.54 releases, most likely.Thanks to everyone for your support and interest in the project!
