A pile of sketches

Not much new to report on the production side of the new update. Work is still chugging along and I'm still happy with the progress I'm making, but unfortunately I don't want to spoiler too much new stuff yet!

So instead, how about something old?

The previous update, expanding on the Warrior-storyline by introducing the mini-arc of Sarah and Garret, saw a whole host of new artwork added to the game.

Above, you'll find the sketch work that went into laying the foundation for many of these new pieces. As always, I think for those that are interested, it can always be a cool way to see how the art develops from stage to stage.

I think this latest update also shows a closer understanding of the direction that I want this project to keep moving towards. The art in TSSR, especially in the earlier parts, has always been more sparse than what I wanted. An honest and simple reason for that is of course having to always balance what I want versus the available resources for developping the game.

But with all the success, I've been able to scale up the art for each update, and I hope in time I'll also get a chance to (in the future) reach back and expand on some more art in the earlier stages of the game as well.

But that's all future-talk, for now the main focus remains on expanding with new content, but I thought it might be interesting for some of you to share my long-term design vision for the game as well.

Hope you enjoy these sketches, and look forward to more updates on the next patch soon!
