Patreon Art JAN #3 Vibaelia - Magical Girl Selly

We got a vibilia request from Froop!

"Magical Girl Selphine" is the request this time, and when I heard it, I laughed because it reminded me of the April Fool's joke, "大魔法峡谷ふぉると".

I designed the costume without paying attention to the details to practice the frills, but it took a long time 😭. It took me more than twice as long as usual because I had to look at all the reference...

AiD's New Office 2021, First Impressions!

Vilserio again!

Pre-pandemic, it was easy for us to get a breather if we ever felt the need to step out of the house by visiting a cafe or renting a workspace for a few hours, but this is just no longer the case anymore. Local cafe's and rental offices are packed or booked and these kinds of "renting space" type businesses to people who are telecommuting are on the rise but unfortunately, the supply just isn't catching up to the demand. In 2019, I could at least get a seat where I can b...

Happy New Year from AiD! 2021

Vilserio and Happy New Year everyone! Hope ya'll had a safe and comfortable holiday season if you're into that sort of thing. We at AiD got a lot done this year, laying down the foundation of future projects and finally getting MS2a out on Switch and MS1 on PS4. We also avoided Corona and are very much still alive, so that's certainly something to be thankful for. I never mentioned this in any prior posts because I didn't want to seem like I was asking for pity or attention, but I (Munisix) w...

New Patreon Perk! Clipkravte!

Vilserio and an Early Merry Christmas! (And to those who do not celebrate Christmas: hi)

What is moving art? Is it a cinemagraph? A live photo? A short video clip? Is it all of the above? Probably! I sure as hell don't know! But it, along with the perks from the $10 tier, can be your today for the low low price of $10 a month! (I think I'm just gonna call it clipkravte to go with the branding)

Starting from 2021, on top of Hare's dual artworks monthly, we've dec...

Nintendo Switch version of "fault - milestone two side: above" is now available on December 3!

Also, this art's hi-res image and making steps are uploaded on this month's reward archive post.

November Recap and Thought Dump about Marketing. Or something.

We're on the last stretch, folks. One more month until 2020 is over, and I can't help but look back at this year as one of the more weird ones, to say the least (emphasis on "to say the least"). But before we do a major dive and recap the whole year, I thought I'd do a quick reflection on November and dump some random thoughts I've had about marketing. 

I am not a big fan of social media. I am also one of the most cynical people you will probably ever meet in your entire life. Thes...

fault - milestone 2, side: above Switch version TV commercial is now running live in Japan

Vilserio everyone!

Remember that television commercial thing we talked about a while back? We finally got the video from the production house and the okay to share it with our Patrons! Here it is in its broadcast HD glory! How do you know this is a broadcast TV ad instead of some random video that was made for some other internet promo? Why because you can see that it's interlaced AF, thats how!! (Though if we really wanted to lie we could have purposefully rendered it as an interlaced...

fault - milestone two, side A for Nintendo Switch, is on schedule to release this year!!

What schedule? What year? 2020? Yes, 2020. Did AiD even mention that MS2a was slated for release this year?? No I guess we haven't... Heres a snippet of whats been going on behind the scenes at AiD:

I look back at the October 12th post and cannot believe it's only been a couple weeks+ since, for at the time, the port (more accurately scripting and programming work) for ms2a was only about 65% complete. Little bits and pieces were being worked on incrementally throughout the ye...

Further Off The Deepest End (fault MS2b Main Theme)

I received a request from a Patron in our Discord server earlier today, asking us  to release MS2b's main theme that was used in the TGS trailer (which you can see here if you still haven't seen it for some unfathomable reason) to Patrons early like usual. Why the hell not eh? It doesn't really get any hotter out of the oven than this folks, it doesnt even have a cover art yet =P

Quickie: MS2b Ritona Vita Domain Attire

Some more visual updates for MS2b! Ritona will not be in her usual travel clothing for most of the game. We took some time to balance between good looks and realism... because some of these ideas are too fluffy for being hospital attire (though they do look neat). Story comes first 90% of the time, every-time.

MS2a/MS2b/AiD/IGN/WTF

Vilserio everyone!

AiD is attending Tokyo Game Show 2020 September 23-27th (but probably only one day)! One of the head honcho's over at IGN Japan has graciously given us 15 minutes (yes, 15 minutes) to show off MS2b during their TGS2020 live event event so we've been hard at work making a long-form Promotion video for the game! This video apparently will be shown via IGN USA too so we're kinda wowed out and nervous to say the least.

Patreon Art AUG #3 Vibaelia - In a suit

Vilserio!

This art is requested by Fuzzy Heartache for Rune and Selphine in a suit!

Rune requested a skirt style and Selphine requested a pants style.

It's a chic order. I tried to create a piece that shows a different side of the couple while still retaining their personalities.

Enjoy!

Patreon Art AUG #2 Vibaelia - Kravting

Vilserio!

This art is requested by Lukyon for Rhegan!

This art was planned by Lukyon and patrons voted on the character and theme to be depicted in this Vibaelia art!

There are many different ways to practice kravting, but I've chosen to draw on the theme of a shift practice scene. Shifting is the process of repositioning the surrounding mana to suit the craft. One of the visual aids to this is the use of flowers that change color to match the surrounding mana.

LRG CE Charms Sneak Peek! Babies got Back! (literally)

Remember the old school keychains we made? They had the fault logo on the back with the map and no back back of the characters. Now we have the thems back on the back! It's almost like they're here in real life. Except they're super deformed. And flat. And palm-sized. Collect them all!!! ...which, you don't have to if you buy the CE since they'll all be included.

These again are exclusive to the CE version of MS1.

Back back!

We had planned to vacation at a resort this summer, but that's no longer possible.

Sorry for the slow updates this month, it's been a super hectic one finishing up everything that goes into the LRG Artbook. But we're 100% done now! Back to our regularly scheduled programming. We wanted to share the cover art for the art book because some people have asked about it. We hope you enjoy!

We'll upload more stuff next month to compensate for this quiet month so make sure to stick around!

As usual, thank you all for the support.
