Sneak peak at Rexalia
She is a member of the ancient wolf race...but she's lost in time.
I'll upload a more fuller version of her on youtube soon.
Because it's Friday
Here is a sneak peak at a new character.
I'm keeping quiet for now, suffice to say she is part of the mouse like characters.
Her codename is Daria.

Sorry about the sucky lip syncing, it's my first time using that movie editing software.

-7- The Show
Hayes, racing to keep pace, emerged from the thick jungle canopy. His boots sunk into the dense earth as he approached on the ravine. He stopped to catch his breath and take stock of the situation; the sun hung high in the sky prompting Hayes to wipe the thick beads of sweat from his brow.
Hayes worried that his form might have waned slightly since accepting the lead role of the Spectre forces.&...

Kira went full human!
I'm going to re-introduce more of her kitty components...though I do kind of like this style too.
Teeny updates:
I've added powerplant to RTS
So now we have field generators, light factories, medium factories, mrh (mobile replicaiton hub) and powerplants.
I also have constructors these are the wee builders that fly about the place fabricating stuff.
Radar is working, movement, zoom, pan, and basic combat is all...
Kira's not feeling it today..
Small updates:
Demo update: all visual novel is done (was completed 3 weeks ago). I could bundle it up in a demo now, but I want all the extra stuff so i'm working hard to get that along with a fully playable RTS campaign (outside the fun tutorials). I'm making good progress in that area.
Demo testing:
Believe it or not, it will be just like a pre-release of the game, it will need testers that are ok with bugs. Anyone...

Just a reminder, this is 'what inspired the game', lots of things are similar but not in the same universe; it's a parallel one. Still, there seemed to be a lot of interest, so if you want I can share all the chapters? as its already complete.
FYI: story below, but a quick note on game dev, i've added a new character Vincent the scholar and RTS i've added 3 new structures plus made a lot of improvements. Going well this weekend!

Closer look into my work: Question - Shall I make a space where I can quickly post my smaller updates (lower quality that I don't take time to polish for patreon).
Figure above: I don't share all the sketches I do ...I shoud, but sometimes they need more polish.
TLDR: Shall I make a space where I can quickly post my smaller updates (lower quality that I don't take time to polish for patreon). But would be for tiered patreons only.

I've yet to give her a tail, but curious to get your thoughts!

It's just messing about, in game, if i decided to go ahead i'd keep as much of the spirit as i can but inevitably i loose some of that panache when drawing them standing, facing forward.

2024-05-09 12:36:54 +0000 UTC View PostComissioned Art
As last time, I wanted to look at artists who could match my level to take the load off.
Honestly it's really hard, most are basic liars - they claim they can do the artwork examples I give them, then it falls well short). It's uber hard to find the professionals.
I got 300 messages on twitter when i made a request, half where bots or overseas scammers - but this artist ^^ above had a go.
I've asked to change her hair and glove colour to differentiate a bit, other than ...
Say hello to Freya...
Shit looks so so much better when i'm not worrying about drawing them snout straight on.
Still requires a bunch of polish.
Going to bed soon, i'll repost tomorrow with her story...
Though, i'd love to get your thoughts!
Prototype Variants of Lysandra the journalist (help me pick)
Note: it's still not cleaned up as i'm still deciding.
The first ones, are tricky to do facing forward as she looks too human (without doing something to her snout, which then forces me down shade/contrast differentiation. Don't worry those poses and clothing will return based upon whatever form we pick.
Any feedback before I finish her up?
I've got a bit more work on her face to do, not quite sure of the tones i'm going with but i'll get there in the end. I just keep alternating until i find a tone/hue combo that fits.

First of all, for the new members let me lay out the kind of game this will be:
The game is hybrid, meaning it has multiple styles:
Visual Novel

Introducing Lysandra - come say hello
I took feedback from you guys and the two main bits were:
1. Can we have a bio sheet for each character (yes! But i'll do it bit by bit)
2. Can we have a mouse race (Yes!)
Lysandra is a member of the Vionites, a race of mice-like anthro aliens, they aren't actually that small; but they are shorter than your average human.
They are technologically advanced, overall they have quite a savage history because as a people they are heavily driven by gossip.

Abandoned Character Art...revive?
I forgot all about this girl, this was one of my first attempts at drawing a character for the game using sketch style, starting with paper.
The issue is, I wasn't sure if I wanted her to be a fox or a feline character. I then parked her as a future 'mouse' character.
If I make her a Fox, then i need to extend her snout - which i can do, but would need to share a bunch of variations with you. As it drastically changes her look.
If i make her a cat, its get rid of the ear...
Inspiration time... (Img Credit @gilkardex)
So, i'm absolutely in love with this cute doggy generated by gilkardex, a rising star in anthro art generation. I believe he uses a bunch of custom AI's and then actually edits them in krita 😲
Anyway, he did a picture a while back of a dommy cat, which inspired me to do Snep (he was totally cool with it).
Example here (the older ones are better)
I'm running out of space to fit the full cast!
Snep, the Red Dragon, Tabby...and lots more!
At present I have 25 completed characters, the aim is 100 + 50+ small cast (with a couple of frames per character).
New Character Drawing Experimentation
How i'm drawing her (Skip for other news)
To get the latex like feel, even for the blue - what i'm trying out is first draw it in full, base colours but put all the white with its hues and blend into the clothing.
Then shrink the image 80% (this compresses everything).
Now I render and re-expand. It looks great (I think) but means that everything is pixelated (that's how Tabby was made) - though it's really hard to maintain at that size so i have to re-do ...
Reeva - Base colour (partial render- not finished)
Hey guys, sorry i've been quiet - focus has been on RTS and things have been going a bit slow.
Good news is, the progress on the demo is moving forward (though I don't want to rush it, i want to get you something with between 4 - 9 hours gameplay)
I thought i'd share one of my Character WIPS that needs to be finished.
She is the wolf/Fox version of Snep.
FYI: There is a distinctly wolf race (we've not met any of their characters other than those mystical ones), Fo...
