Back and ready to rumble

workflow :

Well last week, i won't lie, that big cold or whatever really did a number on me, i still cough a bit, but it's mostly to evacuate the last bit of Oyster trapped in my throat. So what planned this week.
FIRST finishing the more than she can chew sketch series, once done working in Patreon stuff, and maybe shove a personal stuff in between.
Next two weeks i wanna work on those things and make the June month a 100% reward month when i do only that and try to evacuate as much of those as i can , maybe get a bit more up to date. But before that wanna work on all those BIG project or ideas.
Anyway, lot of tasty nudity to come in next weeks!

Commission opening:

I Announce that i'll open commissions this week. I'll announce it on the discord when it happen. For once won't be first coming first serve. i'll gather the offering and pick my favorite 2 subject for a comm.
I Rather tell in advance, if you're not picked don't mean i dislike what you proposed, maybe someone just had something i would rather do this time!
Not that might take it up to July/august to see your stuff done, not sure, i'm shitty at giving dates that hold over time, so if it's for something Urgent, i would rather entice you to go ask another artist atm.
Voila! I'll announce it in a couple of day, no rush, as i said, won't be first to come first to serve this time

Clair Obscure:

While i was sick my brother offered me this game, Clair Obscure Expedition 33, and.. i felt in love!
So what does it tell, i'll not unveil most because the game deserve to be played, but the game take place in Lumiere. A sort of fictional city of Paris a la belle epoque, before WW1. Almost 70 years ago, the world.. fractured itself, tearing appart a chunk of the city from the continent, and seeing hordes of monsters, the Nevrons, invading the rest. Also a gigantic women started to paint, once a year, a number on a gigantic monolithe that is visible from everywhere on the continent. First was 100, then 99 etc etc, and over time peoples noticed a phenomenon, when a number hit a certain age, everyone of said age.. disapear. They die at that moment. So the city started to send Expedition to try to stop the paintress before everyone die. Been 67 years, number is 34, tonight, it ll get at 33, and tomorow, expedition 33 ll take their ship to the continent, and you are one of them!
Music is.. just what hit the first. This game have constantly banger over banger at the music, always right on the point, epic when it need, soft when it should and tearsome more than often.
Graphism are really impressive, not like "ll make a revolution" but for a small team work and a budget that is far from the Hundreds of Millions we see in the AAA business, it's really really good!
Gameplay is really neat, it's turn based, but you can evade or block any attack of the ennemies, making that, even if the boss is WAY too powerfull for your level, if you're really REALLY good at parry.. you can take it!
Many fight i came, saw my ass whooped, and just swallowed, didn't went back to lvl up and farm, just went to the boss to learn the pattern and GET GOOD. On that (and some mob design) you can clearly feel a Dark soul vibe.
Game also let you play and imagine build of any characters as you like. Like made a "one hit wonder" build on Maelle, one of the character, with a shit tons of Buff that activate at begin of fight and only for first turn and attack, and she come in, do ONE ATTACK kill all small bugs and cut half of the boss life, and now real fight can begin. Nice way to say "Hello! this is disrespect at your door!" You can break the game, and the game give you all the tool for it and say "have fun". I saw a guy that made a build based on "my character when he die give a lot of buff to the rest of the party, then Instant revive and get all buff for himself and play a turn instantly, so i start fight at 1 HP do a suicide bomb stuff, buff my team and instant revive"
And finaly the story. We spent most of past week speaking theory, sharing ideas and stuff we loved on the game on the discord!
YOu get attached really quick to at least one character, you can not agree with some of them or dislike their view, but all have good reason to get in. It's a brutal and terrible world they live in and they try their best. Story surprise you at every acts, and if i had a good idea where we where going at end of act 2, due to element found there and there, was still impressed by the truth when it was unveilled.
So, it's my recomendation ! Also for a RPG it's not that long, 36h in and i did most of the game already, i could have ended the game hours ago but still going everywhere to unveil all secrets and all hiden bosses and zones! I think 60 h to 100% it is not far fetched.
