20 APR 2025 Update

Oh boy, it's Easter already @_@ Yikes!

First off—yeah, I totally underestimated how much my new job would eat up my time. The shifts aren’t bad, per se, but they’re definitely on the “brutal” end of the spectrum. The silver lining? Overtime pay. Gotta love that.

But don’t worry—I haven’t stopped creating! Here's what’s cooking:

👕 T-Shirt Design

I’m this close to wrapping up the new T-shirt design. There’s a small rendering hiccup I’ve got to troubleshoot (new program, new problems), but you can peep the general idea below. Also experimenting with a new logo style—because why not?

🗡️ Legend of Rinkle

I've been bouncing between reading up on Solarus and building out some concept sprites for our Zelda parody Rinkle. If you’re wondering why I’ve gone radio silent lately—it’s because I’ve been juggling self-teaching Linux, Python, and C# all at once. Yeah. It’s a lot. But the end goal? A much stronger sprite sheet and possibly something playable down the line.

📚 Books & Bi-Annuals

The colored edition of the Bi-Annual is officially at the printer! I’m just waiting for the proof copy to land, and once I give it the greenlight, shipping will resume.

As for the second half of the Bi-Annual—it’s still in progress, but I’m hoping to wrap it soon and reformat it into a neat collection.

🧹 Store Cleanup

Still a monster of a task. I haven’t had a full day off to dedicate to it (thank you, night shifts), but I’m hoping Tuesday morning brings a burst of motivation so I can throw some claws at it before heading into another workweek.

💥 Bonus Comics

Oh yeah—I forgot to post these layouts. Whoops. Here they are now!

🎨 Color Update

And finally—yes, colors are happening. Progress is steady, just slower than I’d like (see above re: job from hell).

Thanks for sticking around. Appreciate all the love, patience, and memes. More updates soon—assuming I don’t fall asleep face-first into my keyboard.

Oh yeah before I forget, uh I should mention I have a prototype of that visual novel built but I fucked up the coding (see I don't know how to code)

• AND ONE MORE THING!!!! If you are having any issues or problems etc. Please send a DM, or use the help channel in discord. If you can't get ahold of me through any one of those, once again ragszombie@gmail.com is the email I usually monitor.
