Young Roui Reference

L: I don't know why, but I draw this. I always think about Roui's past, about years he spent in Nouri and grow up from a cute and funny mommy boy to pretentious and ambitious swagger.  Temporarily swagger.

Bo

L: I guess I never posted it 👀

One of plenty variants of clothes we designed for Bo. But I’m sure now - we want to keep some sualokin’s wings looks unrealistic and maybe stitched.

Character finding

L: A few sketches of finding Ragneda, Elias’ teacher. Elias ‘inherited’ her stage persona.

"They are everywhere!"

Lins drew this for Dizir, our programmer, when he was busy with the bugs in the first week after the game release xD
It is his grahn character, Ksentis.

Lazy tail (almost done)

Just need to add the shades and patterns!

Life updates!

G: Hi guys! We've been less active here for a while because right now we are moving from our old place to a new one and we haven't got a proper working place yet (or even a normally working Internet until today). But we have some neat stuff to post for you and we will find the way to do so pretty soon. Thank you for all your patience and support!
Stay tuned! 

Г: Привет, ребята! Мы были чуть менее активны здесь в последнее вре...

Tails animations [WIP]

Junyver being ANGRY and Lazy.... being lazy~~

New tails animations! (WIP)

We got recourses to commission Fjo, and now Lazy and Emeral will get their very own tail animations. It is amazing because we wanted to add them like ages ago! <3
 

[SPOILER!] Character Concept

L: Before you scroll down, I remind you that this concept is really spoilerous. And I’m proud of the result %)

Okay, most possibly you get it right - this is Bo Maverick. And he is a Cefeid, it’s a name of sualokin knights. They can do a number of important stuff in the clan and always had very special mavericks, that gi...

Mr Bird Sprites Update

L: My low human drawing skills, damn it! I do *love* draw humans and I'm practicing a lot, but somehow it's always not enough when I draw another sprite of this character. 

Okay, this time I feel these faces look much better than the previous time. At least I'm satisfied with the result. And I hope won't redraw them again xD 

Content Ideas

L: Today our team had one of the most difficult days in our tCoL routine... For example, we suddenly published the game page with a purchase option, though we didn’t even updated an actual build there. Despite that fact that we have published the game once, Steamworks is still a grey area to me. ^^”

Okay, guys, we have a theme to discuss! Grimm and me are planning to make a small digital artbook with some tCoL development. We don’t want to put any lore info there, because it�...

I guess, we’re friends now?

L: Thinking about the next chapter. I’m trying to catch all ideas and scenes I imagine in sketches, photos, notes, and even some comic-stripes, so... please, don’t consider this little “comic” as a separate story x’)

(Grimm and I read a lot of manga lately, and it gives us a powerful inspiration 👀)

And I tried comic-tools in Clip Studio, which seems very useful so far.

[Mid Spoiler]

L: For all who was on beta-test and finally meet Kariom in the flesh ;)

Inigo poster

This is a retro-looking Inigo ad you will find in Chapter 2.
:3

Juny Passport (mid spoiler)

L: Juny's passport or -how many Shanglanian call it- a personal ticket. All these tickets looks different in different countries, and this one is Latorian - it's green, with a symbol of poppy, a sideway portrait of Red Baroness and an emblem with fox on backward, if you remember it. 

Narrow field on the right made for marking travels abroad.

Small bird on the lake (bg animation)

G: We have a few ideas for the background animations (some of them for the future because we don't have too much time), but for now I only finished this one. A small bird to add some additional cute effect to the morning lake location xD 

Juny Clothes Reference

L: I'm always drawing references when sprites are already done, what a bad habit... But I'm happy to find a current clothes style for one of my favorite girl in tCoL :> 

Thanks fjorge, she gave me an advice to add a small crescent mark on Juny's chest~

To my loved one

L: Here is a scene in the Act II, that couldn't be described with a common dialogue, so I drew this. 

This drawing supposed to be simpler (just Rasko's hand with a bottle), but I drew halfbody for no reason... Grimm was about to kill me: "Why you always make it so difficult?!", but surprisingly I drew this way faster than usual :D 

Also, I recommend an app ArtPosePro that were recommend us by our friend! I'm not a big fan of things like this, because I waste too...

Drobeski's kitchen

L: I finished the bg sprites for this scene! They are chatting and eating paprika pie.
<3

The ??? - animated sprite - almost done!

It just needs a pattern to be finished, but it's 99% done.
Fjo did an AMAZING job on this sprite, we have no words to describe how much we love this one <3 

BG character (WIP)

G: We finishing the rest of the BG characters' sprites for the second chapter. This one is unlucky, the poor guy! xD 

The Flat

"I've been to the Flat more than once as well. And one day, I ventured to dig deeper than usual and was rewarded."

Hello!

We have a few words to say to our Patrons, especially to those who participated in our old beta-tests.

Our small team is busy testing some parts of Chapter 2 on Steam (hooray!), but these tests are just for the inner circle for now. ^^'' So if you will see any fake "updates" of your version of tCoL on Steam - just ignore it, Steam is messing with its libraries for some reason and it won't really affect anything.
We can't stop Steam from doing weird stuff, sadly, but at least it's har...

The ??? - animated sprite (WIP)

Here we go with the last animated sprite from Chapter 2 that is still in progress! Fjo did an amazing job on the snakelike movement of this unusual creature. We will share the final result with you once it's finished, guys.

Constellation Puzzle, 2

L: This video demonstrates a rotation of a first ring. Stars supposed to move (and they're moving in the alpha build), but I didn't want to waste my time on animation, since Dizir already made a spectacular thing with it in a code.

Constellation Puzzle, 1

L: We're working on a puzzle module, that will be used in the game.  This is a revised mockup of an old version of the same puzzle with some major changes in design and minor in mechanic.  Dizir is doing his best to change things in the way I ask and I'm sincerely apologize for it D:       

It's a simple demonstration of appearing rings and using help. Made as a small promt for Dizir.

Roui Portrait [animated]

L: Here is a portrait of serious and focused Roui. It will be used in the game. You can find a static version in attachments~

Anoosh's catalog

G: So extremely El-Balyamian looking! What do you thing he is using this for? 

Background sprites (WIP)

ENG

G: I'm busy working on the background character's sprites lately. It's not necessary for a  visual novel to have these, I guess, but it adds a lot of life to the backgrounds and helps to feel more involved into the story when you read it. So we decided to carry on the tradition we started in Chapter1.

You may remember some of these characters - here are Rasko and Serban, also Roban and Anoosh. The girl in the middle of the list is new, she will be a part of the quest tha...
