Ugh...
I'm pausing billing. Life isn't giving me time to work on Fantasy Valley right now, and progress is miserably slow. I'm sorry it's come to this.I'll keep billing paused until I can get Fantasy Valley off the back-burner and back into more serious production, but I can't make ...
Huh? What?

Just saying hi!
No seriously... just saying hi!I just finished writing the rest of Ch 10, and I'm excited to get back to the drawing board bringing it to life. I don't have a ton of confidence in my writing abilities, but I think it's going to be the most interesting and most dramatic chapter yet! Ooh! ...
I know, and I'm sorry.
Long time, no news. I'm sorry for that. Time has been very limited recently. The good news is that I am not sick, as some have been speculating (thank you for your concern). The bad news is that my time to work on Fantasy Valley is going to remain limited. I wish that wasn't the case, but we...

Very short and very overdue update for you all.You know how we were all quietly hoping the new year would mark a turning point? A goodbye to the chaos and craziness of 2020? Let's just say 2021 has come out of the gates pulling no punches.I'm ok and all will be well in time, but suffice it t...
From the desk.
Progress.Ch. 10 is completely outlined and in production. It's set to cover the next four days of David's story, but it should read fast since a good chunk of that will be rapidly-moving story bits and montage. Fingers crossed that means it gets made faster too... But you all know how that g...

Work continues!Currently neck deep in day 4, the final day, of the next chapter. Things are going well!It's a rather complex finale, not unlike the end of the previous chapter. Trying to pack it full of immersive moments and exploration while keeping the main plot compelling. Lots of illustratio...
Mixed emotions.
Apologies for the lack of posts. I've been kinda demoralized by how much work this chapter has been taking, so I've avoided writing a Patreon post for a while. You'd expect me to have gotten a grasp of scope and project management by now, but I haven't. I'm sorry.Work has continu...
Drawing 'til my hand falls offffff!
Work continues!You'll probably be surprised to hear that I underestimated how many illustrations I'd want to make for day 3. So it's taking longer than I thought it would, but it's also looking really good so far!Life also kind of intervened last week and slowed me down, but I am bac...

Steady Progress.
TLDR: Making good head way on the art and code for the next chapter!Dev Rambling: I've continued to stray from the old method of two character sprites at opposite sides of the screen talking at each other like a puppet show, in favor of illustrating a few dynamic shots of the characters with var...
