Background Art update

The latest background for Human Cargo has been completed by kjkjmulo. Here we have the Observation Deck. In the game, this screen is actually animated, with a moving background.

There's also an alternate version with a nebula background as we approach the Alioth system. I can't wait for these to get added to the game so you can see them!

Yoshi CG Artwork Preview (NSFW)

We have a second CG coming in the next beta release!

This artwork (NSFW) will be shown at the beginning of Chapter 5 when Yoshi wakes up in the morning. In addition to the image, I've revised the accompanying text a bit, expanded it, and got it ready for multiple paths.

The Yoshi CG was illustrated by Illuminate001.

So without further ado, here is Yoshi in all his glory!

Razix Character Sheet

Artwork for our freighter pilot Razix has been finalized!

Here he is in two different poses, in and out of his work uniform!

Meet Razix!

Razix is our cargo freighter's pilot, and is the second sprite scheduled to be completed for the visual novel. He's flirty and funny, and if you choose his path, you'll end up with a sensual romance that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Here's a progression showing sketch versions of him, plus a shaded version that is close to the final artwork.

And here's his preliminary bio page.

Cargo Bay background art

The cargo bay is an important area of the ship. It's the first area of the freighter Yoshi encounters after escaping the pirates.

I am beyond pleased with the work kjkjmulo has done with this background. I'm excited to show this art off, and we have some more good things coming!

Kol Character Sheet - NSFW

The Kol sprite has two different poses, along with two outfits, his regular uniform, plus a version in his underwear. He also appears naked, naturally.

Kol is Katarran - an alien. His physique is familiar, but slightly different from a human male. But he does have all the right equipment in all the right places ;)

Here is a preview of what to expect from our fearless captain!
