July 2021 Monthly Update
🕑 Added 2021-07-06 00:46:47 +0000 UTCHi everyone!
I hope you've all had a great (or as great as it can be) month! It's getting very cold down in Australia, but we're surviving.
Time to get into another monthly update!
Art
This month, we've been working on a large range of different artworks! You would have seen some sketches, CGs, sprites, you name it!
Let's take a look at a few previews, for those that haven't seen them:
Hello good looking...
Fuyuure also let me know she is working on an alternate arm pose for Illran's normal sprite. She's worried his arms might get sore, holding them up all the time!
Programming
Not much has changed on the programming front - we've been making small improvements and fixing errors based on beta testers feedback. Big thanks to everyone who is taking the time to report them to us!
We're also getting ready to start inserting the Cyne route voice acting, which I'll touch on more below.
Voice Acting
As I mentioned last time, our sessions for the Cyne route are a little more intensive than our previous sessions. Where before we were doing 1-2 scripts per session, we are now aiming for 4 a week. This takes approx. 4 hours with live direction.
We had our first session last week. The energy was great, and it was fantastic to have the voice crew back together yet again. They really bounce off of each other, and our director Amanda has done a wonderful job.
Let's take a look at what we've done so far:
As you can see in blue, we've already got a lot of recordings in and ready for editing. Sarah will be recording soon in a separate session.
We also have a few other extra faces joining us for the first time... Wes and Jack, who play Zarryn and Titus! You'll meet this Uncle/Nephew pair soon after entering each route.
There's some scenes I'm very excited to share snippets of with voice acting. I hope to have some next update to share!
Merch Update
Our order of wallscrolls has been delivered! We're currently hard at work getting everything packed, weighed and paid for. It takes me quite a lot of time to prepare all the shipments, but they should all be on their way to you soon. I'm super excited for you all to get your hands on these!
We still have a few extras which are currently available on our store. I'm not sure when we'll restock after, but definitely once the game is out, so don't worry if you miss out!
Excuse the poor lighting, but I also finally put up my sample on the wall, next to my desk! It's huge and so beautiful!
Beta Builds
We'll soon upload another beta build with QoL updates, bug fixing, a few extra CGs, Illran's new sprites and (hopefully!) additional voice acting. Stay tuned!
