I’ve made a fair bit of process, even finishing the draft pages for SlothxLove, totaling up to twelve pages for the first chapter. My backlog also has enough pages until the New Year, so I’ll probably try and do the last two pages of the chapter and take an extended break while planning and drawing things at my own pace. I want to try and build a decent backlog— Or even finish the next chapter so I can post it at my leisure.

Witch’s Cradle has been put on the back burner because of this, I’m still chipping away at it of course but making art asserts and sprites are terribly time-consuming and rather draining of my energy. However, I’ll be writing for the cutscenes as that’s easier to do at the moment and I want scenes to hit, since I want the characters to stand out compared to the gameplay. Though I am trying to balance battles to have some sort of thought and engagement behind it. Such as giving characters special mechanics that suit them and their role.

It’s definitely interesting seeing the first page and then the latest of SlothxLove and seeing how much I’ve improved in such a short amount of time. Page 10 looks really good in my opinion, though I haven’t quite nailed the style that I’m entirely comfortable with, I’ll likely do experimental mini comics to try and nail it now that I have some sort of motivation and experience behind the process itself.

For now, I’ll try and slow down a bit to recuperate some energy. Though opening commissions to buy a steam deck for myself is tempting…

Oh well.
