Crumble's Monthly Newsletter #2
🕑 Added 2024-12-20 17:07:22 +0000 UTCHo ho ho! Merry (almost) Christmas everybody!! It's time for my second monthly newsletter!
Here, I'll be giving you all more info on some fun non-harmony projects I'm working on, projects all my patrons will be credited in!
I've made a ton of progress on projects this past month, I'll share some of it below, starting with FTHOI episode 2!
Progress on FTHOI episode 2 was actually a bit slow, because one of the voice actors wasn't able to deliver their lines for reasons outside of their control, so I opted to voice their character for them! It's okay though! The audio for scenes 3, 4 and 5 are done, and scene 3 was also storyboarded, it's now just waiting for the animator to, well, animate it whenever possible! Scenes 5 and 6 are special and a friend of mine volunteered to do them! Scene 5 is going well! I will be doing scene 4 myself! My estimates say that the episode should be done by February of 2025!
Now, what about Merchant Quest? Y'know, that game I was making! Well, I worked on the battle system! My goal was to make the battle system totally functional, and functional it IS!!! Everything is working just as intended!! The only thing left to visually overhaul is the shop inbetween runs! After that all that's left is polishing everything up to make it more lively (alongside adding actual enemies to fight!), and it'll be good!
I'm actually planning on releasing a little "version 0.2" demo for you patrons (and some close friends) to try out on the 20th of next month!! It'd be super helpful to get some feedback!
Here's a little look at some of the overhauled menus!! :D
(The main battle menu)
(The alchemy menu)
(You can "check" your enemies in the attack menu to learn more about them! Doing this also adds them to your bestiary, which is viewable in the shop!! (you'll see it all for yourself next month!))
(The full game will be ready somewhere in summer 2025, so look foreward to that!)
Last but NOT least, the Lunacid area ranking video! Not only has progress been VERY steady, but the video has a DEADLINE now! YUP! January 10th 2025! If it gets delayed I'll inform you, but for now that seems to be a good date! Every entry has been edited except for #6 and #1!
I'll be needing to go back to record some small pieces of footage here and there, but other than that it's basically almost done! I thought a simple video of Lunacid would be a tad uninteresting so I'll be adding my own little "sona" character who'll pop in every now and then to represent me! For now, I'm feeling very good about this, I feel like the deadline is totally reachable!!
Aaaand that was your little "behind the scenes" look of what old Crumble has been cooking up!! Now that my exams are over I'll have even more time to work on stuff! I honestly REALLY look foreward to working more on these things and I love how they're all shaping up!! I'm very grateful for your continued support and (litteral) patronage, it helps a lot and motivates me to keep doing my best and work hard!
I'll see you all on the 20th of next month for another update! You'll be given another FTHOI progress report, a playable test demo of Merchant Quest, and an update on a new (much shorter) video I'll be working on after the Lunacid ranking one!!
If you'll excuse me, I have a daily harmony to draw!
Later taters! <3

The FTHOI playable test demo will be REAL.... Please be wary that the video will FULLY spoil the game!! But I hope you'll enjoy the video once it's out!! It's nothing super special and the editing is VERY primite but I hope it'll be a nice watch!

I can't believe FTHOI is getting a playable test demo as stated in that last paragraph π± I'm really looking forward to that video, it could finally push me to buy the game
