Weekly update 37 - progress on backgrounds & artwork overhaul, poll results, scheduling next release
Added 2025-08-31 16:57:19 +0000 UTCHey all,
A quick update to share some progress.
I mentioned last week that I wasn't happy with how my work on background artwork were turning out but I kept persevering and I'm starting to grow fond of how it's turning out.
Following the latest poll results, I've also decided to focus on finishing and polishing existing artwork (which means colorization!).
This workload is now focused on the Clem part of the stream, so that the whole last part of the story arc with the ManyFans scene feels finished and colored, all with background art and everything. The result with the transition towards the animated Jade part would be a seamless, polished, continuous scene which is exactly what I'm hoping for!
Following this, I'm aiming to get all the party related artworks (mostly Jade content but also some side characters artwork) colored. Probably not everything will fit in the public build but we're getting there!
I'm doing my best at keeping the rythm steady, and the current goal is to release another early access build next week, and a public release at the end of september.
I will very soon have some artwork previews ready to share for those colored Clem illustrations, they will likely be uploaded in the next few days.
Hope you all are doing well, thank you so much for the support, and stay tuned for some more content to come!
