Helloo~oooo everyone! Time for the update.
I got sick this week. ╰(°▽°)╯ It sucked. (┬┬﹏┬┬)
And life bit me in the backside after being chill for a few weeks. Because of course it did. So it was an annoying week. But let's jump in.
Finished fleshing out ending plans.

So characters and how they get mad. 8D I thought this one would be interesting to do though a lot of the characters never really show off their temper in the game events.
I view this chart as dealing with major offences and arguments - not people getting mad over petty things or just normal relationship stuff.
None of them are the sort to rage at someone over something trivial. I feel like when you work with someone in a very isolated and cramped environment for long periods, as...

2024-06-15 04:14:57 +0000 UTC View PostHellooooo everyone! Time for this week's update. We reached a major milestone this week as I wrapped up the revision of Chapter 10. All that remains is to edit and finish drafting the ending scenarios for each character. (～￣▽￣)～
Finished Ch 10 revisions
Finished Ch 10 proofreading
Finished Ch 10 formatting
New BG sketch
Revised and formatted Asher's ending
2024-06-08 05:24:39 +0000 UTC View PostIf you had to say which LI from GS the guys in WSC were most like, what would you say? What would the guys say about your choice for them?
This one is tough. For some there's a pretty obvious 1:1 and for others, not so much.But I will try.
Asher - Most like Jack I suppose. Jack would acknowledge Asher is probably like a slightly younger him (though they're actually only a year apart. Ha ha.) Asher would accept being like Jack. Th...

More character habits - this time about their overall speaking habits!
Cursing - Unsurprisingly, Raif is on the 'curses all the time' side of the spectrum and Yren is on the 'never curses' side. I actually haven't specifically searched out curse words to see how often the others curse but I know Daaz is quite similar to Yren with Noel and Kav only cursing occasionally and Asher being a little less sweary than Raif.

So I was recently able to obtain a new tablet. My old one still functions but the surface chipped a while ago in a really annoying spot. And while it hasn't kept me from drawing, I've known for a while I'd have to replace it at some point (though it's not even that old - it feels like the lifespan of these things is shrinking).
Anyway, recently I've started to have issues with the cable. The cable itself seems fine, but I think it's the connecting port that is the issue. And several tim...

More character habits - how they are in relationships.
Confidence:
Despite being confident in a lot of areas of life, relationships are one area where Noel has less confidence than any of the others. He's not worryingly unsure of himself in relationships but he does sometimes feel romance isn't always his forte. Meanwhile, Kav is somehow at the top of the confidence list. Though he's just confident in all areas of life really.
The ones with the overla...

Another habits post. This one on body language
Posture:
I feel like it's no surprise Noel stands quite straight and has good posture. I feel like he naturally has a very commanding aura even if he's also quite friendly. But he is, after all, the captain. Meanwhile Kav's slouch is...apparent. Always.
Gestures:
Of course, Asher just strikes me as someone who gestures a lot as he speaks. Somehow, despite having a lot of the ...

Everyone's sleeping habits - from what they wear to how soundly they sleep. (Actually I didn't put how much of a light sleeper they are. Oops.
Spoon:
I feel like Noel is the obvious "big spoon" and Asher is the obvious "little spoon" - I'm not sure how the others rank in terms of predictability though!
Night clothes:
Fun fact, but Myloriens are predisposed to being cold all the time. So Raif and Yren both tend to sleep fu...

Just a bit of random lore about character habits. This seemed like a fun way to present information regarding where characters fall on certain spectrums of habit or behaviour. LoL
I've been trying to come up with more spoiler-free bits of trivia to share so here you go!
Effort:
I think it's obvious who, on the crew, puts in the least effort when it comes to their clothes or appearance. Some of them do not like appearing scruffy. And one of them ...

2024-05-01 01:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostWhen it comes to episodic style releases, which do you prefer? (To be honest, I may have already asked this. But I'm asking again).
When Stars starts to release I need to decide exactly how the episodes are going to be structured and how many there will be. This will determine how often I can update.
Remember that Stars is going to be 100% written and revised when I start releasing. This fact alone is going to help me maintain a much more consistent (and potentially shorter) r...

I got a bit stuck in chapter 8 when I didn't expect to. But there were a lot of contributing factors that led to this being a bit more tricky to revise than anticipated.

I swear one day I will draw someone other than Kav. I even have sketches of the other characters waiting to be finished. Sometimes there's just one character that is easier to draw or that I have more ideas for than anyone else.
And for Stars, Kav is that character.
I think it's largely because I can draw him in any pose, wearing any outfit and it's all in character because he's just one of those characters...
For others, it's harder to capture their personality in a variet...
