Hello everyone!
Our Kickstarter campaign funds should be delivered to us soon. It looks like we only have a few dropped backers, which is fantastic! In the meantime, I'd like to officially introduce you to two new team members who will be helping us fulfil the stretch goals that you all funded.
Lawrichai is a freelance 2D artist with game industry experience, having previously worked for Ubisoft. Lawrichai will be primarily responsible for our cut-in art. What are cut-ins? They are smaller illustrations that will bring life to scenes that have action, but do not have a full-screen CG illustration. Our cut-ins will appear on screen like this:
Here are a couple sample cut-ins that Lawrichai prepared for us.
We've gone with a watercolor illustration style for our cut-ins, which works well with their parchment paper backdrop.
Anna W. is our second official new team member. Anna was already involved in the project as my first reader and the illustrator of the Erotic Adventures booklet (you can see some of Anna's work in previous updates), and will now be helping with some graphical needs in the main game such as animations and maps. Anna is a professional game writer who is finishing up an MA in Game Design and has several artistic talents as well.
Please give our new team members a hearty welcome!
