WIP! Mana's Chapter 4 Manga Panels and Some Thoughts

Hey guys!

Hmm.. These are a lot of panels, and I'm having them done by Ukyu. These are the proposed roughs that will be made. This is for a specific part of Mana's chapter 4 - it's alot for a short area of the game. The end result should be manga-level quality of varying  degrees depending on the scene. The second image you see in this gallery is what Ukyu makes under high detail as an example.

I may leave them as-is when inserting them into the game, so we'll have some black and white in-panels. I'll see what I can do when it comes to adding effects.

While this is being made, I'll continue to prep up the 4 final scenes for Summer in Springtime. These will take a couple of weeks to do and insert into the game. 

After I've done this and Ukyu's versions, I think I may have to put that aside and help Sharkie with the Godhood artworks. 

That's me putting it positively and consolidating what time I've got, but honestly, I'm worried. Our support levels aren't looking good these past few months.

We don't usually explicitly ask for support as we let our games do that (unlike streamers, we really don't have much opportunity like this, like asking for support every 5 minutes, nor do we have rabid fans that help spread the word of the game, nor do we use social-media tied tactics to have our game shared), but in light of our support levels hitting this level already, I'm not really sure what to make or think of it. I can go on about the difficulties of marketing and the work entailed to improve our game, but I think you get why this is worrisome for us. With Ukyu in, I have to pay her for her extra support when I need them, and at this stage, I think I may need to rely on her more and more...

Anyway, thanks for reading, and thanks for continuing to support us all this time! I'm just at a bit lost at how to work this out sustainably.

xoxo,
