Summer progress update
Added 2025-08-17 12:29:51 +0000 UTCHey all, time for this month's progress update !
So, if you haven't seen my gushing about it on bsky, basically I had an idea for Whispers I scrapped due to not having a character idea that would fit it. And recently it turned out that one from my sfw(ish) art really, really would, so I'm trying to see how that would work.
(by the way yeah I've got a sfw-ish alt with its own projects, mostly horror themed stuff, that's how I've always worked. Helps me a lot with long-run projects like Whispers. Not sure it's interesting to you folks given what I share here, but I'm fine with dropping a link if that's something you'd want to see ?)
Because the design was made public since before Whispers was even out or in the works, I saw no sense in hiding this piece. So here, introducing Artemis ! She'll take her sweet time to come up in the story (I expect she won't make her entrance until two updates at least), but that'll give me time to really get her story and character right. I'm very very happy to have her join the story for an extra bit of cosmic horror and I can't wait to show you what I've got in store for her !
As for progress on the next update...sadly summer is a bit of a slower time for everyone, and I'm no exception. Couple of annoying life event got in the way and progress was slower than expected. Next month will likely be slow too for similar reasons. Lots of things to take care of.
(nothing too serious but getting vermin invasion ain't super fun, and is so, so time consuming)
With that said, there still was progress, mainly the flat coloring of the art is done and I've done some work on the shading !
That and fumbling around with the updated plugin I used for dialog. I might've figured out translation in theory, but I'd rather see if there'll be documentation put out later (current process...could be improved). There'll be translation one day, but I don't think it'll be in the next update.
'till next time ; )
