An update on how we deliver you content on Patreon.

Recently we've done a re-assessment to the commitment we're making to all of our patrons and we've come to the decision that we are going to have to stop supporting Chinese translations of our blogs and posts to Patreon. You may have noticed the lack of Chinese language posts in the recent updates, and this has been due to many factors, namely the limited time our members who can translate to this language have with the production of our latest games picking up. In order to give you content o...

[Background Art] Beek CG 04 Process

In light of the recent updates to Beek - Familiar Spirit, we thought that it would be cool to start sharing some of the artwork process shots of the CG's featured in the game. So without further ado, let's take a look at the process of the fourth CG in Beek featuring a certain hare with a fancy for street snacks.

[Background Blog] The UI Development of BEEK

Hello everyone, Compymono back for the next Patreon update! I wanted to get this one out a few days ago but as you may expect I've had my hands full with various things. (i.e. Carmacks and the recent updates to BEEK itself with Japanese, German, and French languages being added.)

(On that note, with BEEK's upcoming release on itch.io, I'll see if I can get some download codes out to our wonderful Welcome Home tier backers, just give me some time to see if I can make that happen.)

[Background Art] Black Dog

Now this background artwork post was actually intended to come out with the background blog on Black Dogs from black month but this time we decided we needed a little more time to get the character finished before showing it to all of you so we released the Shu-Chi artwork instead.

Now without further ado, let's get into the design of the character mentioned back in this background blog. 2020-02-19 03:17:31 +0000 UTC View Post

[Background Blog] Pawprint Press Translation Workflow

Hello all, Compymono here!

So looks like you guys were the most interested in our process for localising comic content for Pawprint Press so we'll be talking a bit about that today. (However, seems like nearly the same amount of you were interested in the Beek topic so I may write that one up in the near future as well!)

As you may know, we currently have two comic series being published by Pawprint Press. The Nekojishi spin-off, The Divine Battles and the Astatos spin-of, Astat...

狀況更新

嗨大家好！

相信各位都注意到了，我們上個月的更新稍微晚了點。對此我們深表歉意。雖然不是辯解，但過去的一個月，有許多原因導致我們團隊有點忙不過來。

如你們所知的，這是因為我們在加緊準備Carmacks項目的公開、同時遇上農曆春節，以及最近爆發的武漢肺炎病毒。這些因素難免影響了我們許多居住在中國大陸的核心成員。但好消息是，我們目前沒有任何�...

[幕後美術] 顏書齊

好了各位。隨然這次的幕後故事是關於路人角色，但我們這樣就夠引起你們的興趣。所以在幕後美術的部份，就讓我們來點特別的吧。

昨天，你們可能注意到了我們在推特上發布的預告片。

Situation Update

Hello everyone!  You may have all noticed we were a little late getting last month's content to you all. We apologise greatly for this. Unfortunately over the past month several factors have led to our team not having very much free time.

Namely the preparation for the public announcement of project Carmacks, the Spring Festival, and the Novel Coronavirus affecting many of our core team members living in mainland China. The good news is we can confirm that at the current moment no ...

[Background Art] Carmacks Yan Shu-Chi

Now, while our background blog for this week was about bystanders, we don't really think that's a very interesting topic for a concept art post, so we've got something else special for you all today.

Yesterday, some of you may have noticed a certain someone in a teaser we posted on Twitter.

Astatos: Flippant Academy P3 - A Sure Gamble

Here's the Patreon exclusive early access to part 3 of Flippant Academy! Let us know what you think.  

Astatos: Flippant Academy releases publicly every two weeks on the Pawprint Press Twitter and Website.

[幕後故事] 路人

 讓我們來聊聊路人吧。

如大家所知，家有大貓是一個建立在現代社會的幻想故事。雖然我們以獸人、神明為主題，主要角色也都是獸人，但畢竟是現代社會，實際上主角的周遭都是人類。在續作之中，這種狀況自然也不會改變。

續作的故事，我們預計會比家有大貓的故事規模大上許多。為此，不可免俗地，自然就需要出現許多人類路人。當然�...

[Background Blog] Bystanders

Today we’re talking about the bystanders.

As you should know, Nekojishi exists in our modern world. Although the main themes and plot of our game revolve around beastmen, gods, and spirits, the main characters are still human, so a world devoid of humans is strange, don’t you think?

Considering that the sequel would have a larger scale than Nekojishi, we decided that we were going to have to include some people to help the world feel natural. After all, y...

Astatos: Flippant Academy P2 - Zermes

Here's our patrons early access at part 2 of Flippant Academy! Let us know what you think.

Astatos: Flippant Academy P1 - A Trial of Divinity and Exams

Here's the first part of our new comic series Astatos: Flippant Academy.

A trial like no other has begun... and it's mostly Makari-Hari who has to deal with it.

And if you want, head on over to the Pawprint Press Twitter and help us spread the word about the new series. https://twitter.com/pawprint_press/status/1218608593982783488?s=20  🎉

[Background Blog] Black Dog

Now if we suddenly talk about “black dogs”, a lot of readers would be confused as to what we are referring to, especially our readers outside of Taiwan. Most people would think that a black dog is just a dog that is black in colour. So, let’s do a dive on the specifics of this term.

In Taiwan, black dogs usually refer to the black dogs you can find in rural areas. As these dogs are completely raised in the rural areas, so many people may mistake them for a mixed bread. ...

[幕後故事] 黑狗

要是有人突然說黑狗，很多讀者可能會很困惑到底是哪一種狗吧。特別是台灣以外的讀者更是可能覺得，很多狗都有可能是黑色的，只說黑狗的話，說的到底哪種狗呢？

不過如果是在台灣，黑狗一般指的，就是黑色的台灣土狗。

土狗土狗，正因為是土生土長也沒有特別育種的土狗，很多人可能會覺得土狗就是所謂的混種犬吧。

但實際�...

[幕後故事] 地牛

每個文化都有著自己獨特的神話，而不同神話閒驚人的相似之處總是讓人驚喜。從北歐神話中的耶夢加得，到阿拉伯神話中的巴哈姆特，托起整個世界的巨大生物可以説是神話中的常客。在台灣的民俗中，也有地牛翻身導致地震的傳説，而地牛正是棲身在地表之下，托起整個地殼的巨牛。

日本神話中同樣有大鯰製造地震的傳説，可是比起大鯰，地牛在�...

[Background Blog] Tegu

It is always interesting to discover how the mythology behind different cultures can sometimes share many similarities. For example, there’s could be a giant animal surrounding or holding up the entire world, like Jörmungandr in Norse mythology, or Bahamut in Arabian legends. In Taiwanese folklore, there is also a giant bull living under the ground and whenever the bull turns over, it will cause earthquakes. The bull from this folklore is called Tegu, i.e. “earth bull” in Hokkien.

Notice: Topic of Next Update 通知：下次更新的話題

大家好呀！根據上次的投票結果來看，大家對Beek和Yellow Knife的故事熱情高漲呢！那麼我們就在本次更新中來說一說這個話題，向您展現一下我們的想法吧！
