Hi there, hope everyone has had a happy and safe May!

This month was a little slow as far as progress goes, because for the first time in ages, I got the chance to go on vacation! The 2 weeks I got to spend in Japan were absolutely lovely and is probably one of the coolest experiences I’ve had in a long time.

Since I had a little bit of forced time off, I did take some time to look back at all the work I’ve done so far and make some tweaks where things seem night right. The first thing you’ll probably notice is the art style update!

There were a couple of reasons for the change!

In the original style, I used a sketch pencil, which while it filled the dreamlike quality I had originally imagined, made coloring very difficult. I also found that it made things look more unfinished than I intended. The new style is also closer to the style I draw in every day, and overall feels more vibrant and readable.

What’s Next?

For the month of June, I’m going to be focusing on Story. I had initially stated I would be working on sprites so that I would have more physical art to share here with everyone, but I’ve opted instead to start getting all the pieces of my story together as I anticipate that little details of the characters are going to change the more I learn about them and everything that happens to them (this game is still VERY early development after all, things still have room to shift). Quality over quantity, as they say!

As I work on that, I’ll still pop in every once in a while with sketches, thoughts, and more character highlights! I’m planning for the next focus to be Veyra, so prepare to get to know him!

i think he would do it to you too. i think when you’re upset or frustrated or just stretched so thin you may break, he’ll catch himself patting your head, or ruffling your hair, or scratching your scalp, or even just resting his hand there.
