Change of Plans

In consideration of the newly planned art style, the current red poses will have to be discarded. The poses are going to be kept, but all the art I completed by tracing off of them will be deleted. The final sprites will be drawn from scratch. To be honest, the red poses were ugly and were impossible to work with due to how poorly drawn (>"drawn") they were. Hopefully I'll make something that doesn't look like shit next time.

What's the holdup?

Why is chapter 2's summary not done yet? Why are updates taking so long? Am I still working on the game, or am I just fucking around?????

I assure you that progress is still being made. I've been busier than expected, and it's only getting worse from here on out. BFD's still happening, but it's just going to be a while.

I've been allotting most of the development time to asset creation. Specifically, I've been working on improving my art skills so I can give BFD some quality sprites and backgrounds. I've even decided on an art style, which will make the practice sessions a lot smoother. I've even been getting more familiar with Autodesk Sketchbook and the feel of digital art in general.

I completely forgot to write about it since I finished it at a time where I was getting really busy with irl stuff, but I completed the voicebank for the second utau. I have a video showcasing its voice on my Instagram.

The summary progress is by far the weakest point. I'm just going to have to admit that chapter 2 isn't a very easy summary to write due to the fact that it's more slice of life-oriented and that I'm still fleshing out the protagonist and his relationships. I feel like shit knowing how little work I've completed with the summary over the past few months, and I can only hope that a burst of creative energy and insight will come to my aid. Maybe I should pray for a muse.
