Destination Alpha 1 (Blog #13)

hey everybody! medium sized blog today, think like a mom bod.Fffuuuckkk waaaait

I would like to quickly bring up that past blog pics have broken embedded images, so the series isn't as archival as I would've liked... maaaan. I will try to figure out and gather what I posted and collect them in friday's blog, since I know how to post pics in here without it breaking

as I chatted about in monday's blog, i've been working on the illustration renders for the 4 main girls featured in alpha 1. I'm gonna continue to work on them today, but good progress is being made to finishing these up! I decided to entirely remake Ren in Haru's render which ended up taking a while, but they should be all finished soon :D I'm quite a big fan of how these are looking and I think the extra work put into these is gonna come through to make these really stand out!

past alpha 1, I will probably try to do 1 illustration render a month instead of batching it with 4 at once, I think that could be a kinda cool spiritual successor to the old Monthly One-Offs I did aaaaand it would be productive for game development too :P

last thing I wanna say about the illustration renders, I may have to make one more for the alpha. maybe. there is a sequence of visuals for specific story moments I still haven't fully planned out in my head, but it might make sense to just have that be represented with an illustration render. idk, I feel like it's something that once I figure it out in my head it'll go pretty quick any way I decide to take it.

tomorrow is going to be the start of pushing to finish all the writing in this update, including the VA lines and some other things. the end is in sight, so much is done and ready to be tied up all neat and tidy... -metrack
