Winter Comiket 2023 and Setting Harder Due Dates

Winter Comiket 2023 and Setting Harder Due Dates

Vilserioooo

Yesterday, we received application approval for Winter Comiket 2023. AiD is now set to participate! We’ve been placed over at East "R" Block 24a on Sunday!! 

Yay 😅? 

Now, let me explain the reluctance. The decision to apply this year came about as an effort to address PR aspects of MS2b and establish ...

Ritona, Version 2.0

Vilserio folks

I hope everyone enjoyed the Thapras art!

During long-term development, an interesting phenomenon often occurs where the best assets we create at the beginning become outdated in various ways, whether in terms of programming structure or art style. This occurred with LIGHTKRAVTE as well, where Khaji's character model, b...

Vertical Slice 2 (Sept 25 2023)

Vilserioooo

This month we’ve kept chipping away at the vertical slice. Most of the functions are somewhat working and we actually have a couple of visual things working enough to showcase... visually.!!

We’re doing a few things in parallel right now: namely, lighting, camera-work and character interaction. For MS2b and beyond, I ...

MS2b Dev Update - Vertical Slice (Aug 31 2023)

Written by Hare Konatsu edited by Munisix

Vilserio folks.

We’ve been working very hard on a vertical slice of MS2b (vertical slice: to have a section of the game where every function of the final game is working properly) and we finally have a version of the Vita Domain that’s somewhat presentable to the public! It’s taking qui...

Patreon Art - Memory

I’ve always wanted to draw more things that give a sense of the world of fault.

I was hoping to draw something like a trajectory of what Kaji will be leaving behind in the future, in Lightkravte which is currently on Steam.

I love to draw group pictures, but it takes a long time to do them so I'm constantly looking for ways to shor...

Formally, they are “The three nurses helming the operations at the Vita-Domain Medical Research Facility owned and operated by Hyves Corporation with the backing of the Viscanta government.” But that’s really long so we call them the nurse trio.

A Huge Wall of Random But Important Text

Sometimes, I question what I'm doing with my life. As some of you may know, the fault series started as a simple creative exercise - a mere workout regimen. I never anticipated any level of success. I assumed it was going to be a one-off project that would be read by perhaps 50 or so people, maybe even three digits if we were fortunate....

AI loves naughty drawings and it’s all our fault

As a lot of you probably already know, AI-generated illustrations have become much more than a "passing fad."

Nevertheless, I decided to leave it as a memorandum; a remi...

A while back I was doing 90 minute drawings with a friend.

There were about three themes, and we practiced drawing using the method of picking out what we liked and drawing it.

The theme for Selphine's illustrations was marbles, and for Rune and Rudo it was sweets and suits.

If you think about it, there is no picture of Rudo an...

Bender Blender

I've been battling with the venerable 3D program, Blender, for the past couple of weeks and I can easily say that the hardest part of learning Blender is to stave off the urge to play the new Splatoon.

The program itself on the other hand is quite easy to get started, thanks to the many tutorial videos on YouTube.
