Illustration Concept | Tilaarin Lobby (Night)

Tea is currently busy transforming Tilaarin into a beautiful night scene for our backgrounds, and these will be utilised in both Episode 7 and our next DLC. 

While this isn't the finished illustration, it's a pretty good concept on how the final image will look, and gives us the opportunity to test our UI for the DLC and our sprites against the background and colour palette.

DLC UI Design & Poll Results

Thank you to everyone who voted in our recent poll, and to those who left comments and feedback on our textbox designs! All of it was really helpful as we settled on our final design for the DLC.

#1 was the winner of the poll, with 36% of you choosing it as your favourite, and that is now the design we are working on for the DLC! We are still playing around with some of the elements of it, and will be exploring a colour theme closer to the one in the second image, but we're really happy...

Design Elements for 'Tilaarin at Night' DLC (POLL)

As we work on a new UI for our next DLC, our Design Artist, Aria, has come up with a few sketches for the text and name boxes, and we wanted to give you a chance to vote on the design! The chosen design will influence the aesthetic of the DLC overall.

The theme of the DLC is "Tilaarin at Night" which will follow the ...

Hi everyone!

We hope you're all doing well, and want to thank you for your support for another month! 💕

This month for us has been all about getting the team started on their tasks, and drawing up plans for all the assets we need for both Episode 7 and our next DLC (unofficially named the eggplant DLC) which will be themed around Tilaarin at night, and will include personalised dates with each of the LI's, as well as some steamy moments.

Early Background Sketch | Tilaarin Bedroom

We thought it would be fun to pry into an artist's head and see the first rough plans for one of our new backgrounds... 50 points to anyone who can decipher all of Tea's notes!

The first background she's working on will be the Tilaarin Bedroom, a fancy Tilaari-style room that MC will have all to themselves during Episode 7 while the crew spend some time on the planet.

Episode 7 | Nerissa or Alisa

Heads will butt and tempers may flare in Episode 7. You have a voice, and while people want to hear what you have to say, not everyone will like your opinion. There are many choices coming up in the story that will shape not just your own future, but the future of those around you. 

It's time to step up and make your voice heard. Will you be ready?

Spicy or Mild 🔥🔥

Things may start to get steamy in Episode 7, if that's what you choose, and what better way to set the scene than with a sexy and unusual ballroom x metal piece.

Old Concept Art | Damon's Drink

Remember the drink that Damon orders at The Arc in Episode 2? It took us a few tries before we got the look of it just right.

"It's not shrimp, it's krill. With a little blueberry and lemon juice."

The colors we settled on definitely give it that sci-fi drink vibe we were going for, and a little fun fact is that the alcohol in the drink (made from krill) is inspired by Spotchka from the Star Wars universe!

Episode 7 | Background Planning

Our background artist, Tea, is responsible for bringing our many beautiful planets to life! Here is a sneak peek at the current backgrounds we are planning for Episode 7, and the information that Tea uses to create a base for the art, as well as some visual references.

Episode 7 | Illustration Planning (slight NSFW warning)

While we're currently in the early stages of planning Episode 7, there are a lot of details to work out, which include illustrations. For the next episode we are planning on a huge NINE illustrations, including the ones below. I've tagged this post and will tag future sneak peeks of them as NSFW, just in case anyone wants to avoid the tag.

Aeriie plans out what's going to go in the illustrations based on the story, and sends the info through to Deli who works out the art details. Here's...

Tea is always so dedicated to details -- playing around with lights to make the room dimmer or brighter, moving the blanket to different positions, and even making the plant grow!

Old Concept Art | A6 Crew

While looking through some of our old art we found these super cute concept images that were done by our Design Artist, Aria! We thought this would be a fun look into the past, and how our characters could have turned out.

What do you think of them?

You Can Talk To Me

There are some hard conversations to be had in Episode 6, which call for some appropriately emotional music. It can be difficult for Ayame to open up about her past, and the things that she's struggling with. 

After the encounter on Orion, all of those emotions will come rushing to the surface. Will you be the one to help her open up and work through them?
