Nusantara: Bermuda Triangle
UPDATE 3/4/2019!
Good morning, guys!
How did your week go?
I got pretty hectic last week--I want to say that life is catching up to me, but no, it's more like crashing through like a freight train :'))
So many things happened, I lost count, but here's a few:
I went to a circus for the first time in my life, went to a huge book fair(Big Bad Wolf ICE BSD anyone?), and spent time with someone that might become someone special to me ><
*cough*
But more importantly, I managed to make some progress with scriptwriting and do some serious polishing to Arya's wolf CG and sprite!
2.3k + words! I wrote 2 events here, acting as pillows to soften the serious atmosphere before finally changing into a humor arc. Not quite satisfied with these scenes yet, but we're getting there.
My greatest achievement this week is polishing Arya's CG and wolf sprite though!
Here's before:
Honestly, I've always been disturbed by this CG--I mean, c'mon! Despite my effort to use soft-shading, it still looks flat. I didn't catch a wolf's characteristic very well here; not scary and not really majestic. I can do better than this! Heck, I have a siberian husky, so this is embarassing x'D
So I polished and polished... my laptop died once and I had to re-do it, but I think the result is worth it! Here's after:
I use cell-shading because it will get too realistic with smooth-shading x'D I also fixed its anatomy a bit, especially its hidden legs. Better, right?
As for his wolf sprite... I'll show it to only my patrons on my patreon for now x'D
Phew, that was a long week! I hope yours isn't as busy as mine and more fun!
That's all for now and see you next week!
xoxo,
SweetChiel

It's looking super gorgeous! It's so cool to see your art improve and be able to be along for the process of this game, especially since I missed that with the first.Thank you for all that you do for us, and everything.
You're welcome and thank YOU for being here for me >\\\< your patience and support is everything I could've asked for
Awwwh thank you! Though I don't feel like I've done much, just told you the truth. Like... your stuff is great and you're great.
I wonder if Maya will be able to ride on Arya.
Hehe, I wonder~ >////<
Hm, I'm simply curious, but how long time did the programming of Winged Ones' take? What was its word count?
Winged Ones took a year to complete with Novelty and another year with RenPy since I've just learned coding with RenPy >< but now that I'm familiar with the coding and minigames, I think it will be around 3-4 months maybe? With drawing CGs, it still should be less than a year.
Oh, but do take note that Bermuda is about 3 times longer in terms of word count >< I think I posted somewhere about the demo wordcount comparison between Winged Ones and Bermuda -- and that's only counting the general route, not including bonus antagonist route ><
What I can say is... your patience will definitely pay off! ^^-
Ah, this CG looks so much better now! While all of the changes are nice, I must admit the hind legs were the only thing that actually bothered me in it - though the new shading is gorgeous too!
Thanks Konoi!
This CG has been bothering me for a long time, so I'm glad I managed to catch a wolf's characteristic better now! x'D
What's left is to take care so his wolf CGs won't be too dark :'))
Haha yeah; black or dark blue wolves aren't the easiest to deal with in illustrations. But so pretty!
