Art Transparency

Things are going to be weird with regard to new art assets for  the next few months, and I think you all are owed an explanation as to  why and what we’re doing about the situation.  The TL;DR, if you’re not  interested in my long-winded loquaciousness, is that SacB0y is severely  behind on art, so while he catches up this month we’re taken on an  additional artist to keep up momentum. There are various delays  associated with this.

So, due to various reasons, SacB0y’s productivity has been severely  affected since about December. If you’ve been paying very close  attention to work on the game, you may have noticed.  He needs time to  get caught up and finish the last of the solo artwork for Larelle,  especially considering that it’s all the sex on demand and dungeon scene  stuff, which means that none of the images are variations on each  other, which tends to make the process quite a bit faster.

While SacB0y is getting caught up on that stuff, I’m searching for an  artist to hire in the meantime, to make up for the lost productivity.  This artist (whoever they are, I haven’t made a final decision yet) will  be handling the first scene of the new harem girl coming out in v0.39.  You might recall that I was extremely reluctant to bring on additional  artists, but more and more I’m feeling that having a bunch of different  art styles in the CGs is acceptable losses at this point. 

So the rough plan right now is that this February, SacB0y finishes the Larelle artwork, while guest-artist-chan introduces the new  character. Next month, if SacB0y is back on track, we do the accelerated Shally artwork and get started on Therese. Unfortunately, “accelerated”  at this point means in the sense of “we’re getting thirteen months of  work this year” rather than a significant increase in speed, but I’ve  spoken to the guy who donated for that and he’s cool with it and even  offered to accelerate EVEN MORE once we’re in a better position, so may  we’ll get the Alina x Therese scene even earlier, who knows? 

Anyway, that’s it for now. If you are an artist or you know an artist  and would like to apply, please feel free to DM me on Patreon, Discord,  Twitter, whatevs. But otherwise, I’m getting back to work. Have a great  week!
