03.2024 XMACX Monthly

You may read the update below or for free on PTRN.
You can read the previous issue here.


Happy March! Hope you're all excited to welcome spring! Lowkey burned myself out last month from day job shenanigans and trying to do a lot of things, so my plan this month is to relax after releasing Froot Basket: Dark Chocolate's update. My birthday's this month anyway too, so I'm gonna take it easy haha.

Cover Model polls are up on social media now if you'd like to vote for next month. I'll drop the outfit/theme poll for patrons tomorrow to stagger posts a bit.

Schedule

  • March 1 - Cover Model Poll
  • March 2 - Cover Model Outfit/Theme Poll
  • March 8 - Art Process/BTS
  • March 15 - Froot Basket: Dark Chocolate voiced update releases, Kiki's Bday
  • March 20 - New Meet the Artist
  • March 22 - "Kaimanga" Updates
  • March 29 - Cover Story
  • March 31 - Sketch Dump

Cover Story Preview | Kiki's Sakura Date

Kiki meets up with a friend in Tokyo to see some sakura blossoms and have a nice picnic!

March OC Birthdays

Kiki's birthday is on March 15! But I'll be releasing FBDC that day and she's already the Cover Model, so we're already celebrating her this month.

VN Development Update | FBDC Voiced Update Releases this month!

Other than partial voice-acting, it'll have some new CGs for you to collect! I hope you'll enjoy it! On release day I'll also publish a changelog.

Other Goals this Month

Wrapping up a zine project and still working on commissions, but I'd like to relax. Chill. Catch up on some manga or tv shows or something. Maybe finally finish Baldur's Gate 3. 

I'll drop some "Kaimanga" stuff I've been working on. I'm considering developing Fleeting and drawing the Kaimana comic at the same time since both projects are related to each other... In any case, it'll be a fun space adventure!

Next Month

I'll pick up development on Froot Basket White next month. Froot Basket White is the third and final chapter in Momo's story. It takes place after Froot Basket Valentine and players will assume the role of Jordan once again. I had worked on some assets for it previously, but I'd like the script to be more solid before I start working on more assets again. Here's some of what I'd worked on before:

April 1st is Satoru's bday, but the Monthly will still drop on that date! We'll celebrate Satoru some time later.

Aloha nui, Ari
