Progress Update - September 7th, 2022

Hey there! Halftilt here with a lengthy update on things!

Lustiest Lair

I'm still working on the update to Lustiest Lair -- which is going to include a bunch of bug fixes, a new curio, new trinkets and sounds for the Tentacle Broodmother encounter along with her challenge mode version.

Light-Space Love

I go into more detail on my Dev Thoughts on my SubStar page, but essentially I've taken a lot of the feedback I've gotten from my initial release and finished a lot of the re-factoring and fixes. 

I'm still on track for releasing the next Alpha towards the end of this month.

Minor Update on my Artistic Studies

I've also got a tiny update on the art practice I've been working on that I've mentioned a few months ago -- I've mostly been practicing trying to mimic the Darkest Dungeon style of drawing, since that's primarily where all of my artwork will be going towards.

I've only started practicing my drawing approximately two-three months ago (I forget when I first invested in my drawing tablet) which has led to this "curio" that I've been tweaking.

As you can see, trying to mimic Darkest Dungeon's style mostly just led to me abusing the absolute f* out of shadows. 

I could also use a lot of work on my line-art (also to me, the shape of her just seems slightly off, though I'm not sure what it is) and I need to work on my use of colors to give it more variety.

Once I actually start becoming satisfied with the end result of my drawings I'll start out "small" by focusing on creating new curios since they don't require any animation -- then I'll either move onto creating Lustiest Lair monster or hero skins -- with the end goal of creating new monsters, heroes and working towards artistic cohesion within Lustiest Lair, which will inevitably lead to me purchasing Spine.

Short Break

I'll also be taking a short break for a few weeks once I upload the newest version of Lustiest Lair here, as I mentioned in my previous progress update, you can expect the newest version around the 16th of this month.

I'll still be posting some teasers/artwork occasionally, but my work on Lustiest Lair will be on a short break until I return from my trip.

And that's about it!

Thanks for all of the support! This wouldn't be possible without all of the generous support from you all, so I really do appreciate it!
