Hi, guys! How was your week?
I'm doing quite well now, definitely better than last week -^.^)/ If I have to rate my condition from 1 to 10, I should be around 7 or 8 now.
I thank all of you who have voiced your concern & support <3
With that said, I was as busy as usual and when I'm done with my day job, I spent the rest of my time rummaging through my old files and Patreon to compile Bermuda's Artbook assets >_<;
Honestly, there's so many of them! From sketches to characters, CGs, background progress/step by step... and I haven't decide on what layout to use yet! I figure I should use the landscape composition if I want to fit the step by step tutorial into 2 pages max, but what color/overall theme should I use?
At first, I thought Journal style like the CG/Encyclopedia in Bermuda's screen won't be so bad... This was my first attempt and I failed miserably because it looked more like a children's book
so I had to scrap this one. Maybe I should stick with minimum modern? (white background with simple texts, keep colors to minimum so you can focus on the art displayed). The book itself wouldn't be too big if you want to print it, the resolution I used for the game is 1066x599, so most of the pictures are that size except for the main character sprites and some CGs/backgrounds. I don't quite remember why in the world I decided on that number, maybe to save space/game size?
So... yeah,
I've been busy experimenting with the artbook layout while also collecting the old assets at the same time. This is not my expertise so a single page will take a lot of time to make due to me being indecisive/not quite satisfied with it x_x please bear with me, I really can't rush it. KiiAnima my proofreader is still working hard, but when she's finished, I will prioritise polishing the game & deliver it first to you so you'll have something to do while waiting X'D
I think that's it for now? Other than work, I've also been a little distracted with watching Bramble the Mountain King walkthrough & playing Honkai: Star Rail these days. My Genshin Impact account have been neglected since I got my new job, but when they suddenly release a new game, I found myself spending what little free time I had left to install it :')) but I guess the distraction is welcome, I haven't been sad/thinking about depressing things for a while now!
So yeah, that's it for now and see you guys again next week! \(^.^)/
Eat your meals, drink lots, and don't forget smile! I hope you're all healthy no matter where you are
xoxo,
SweetChiel

Q&A session is back! Feel free to submit them via comment down below!
1. What pets would everyone like to have? ---by: C
Kahlil: "I'm glad you asked!"
Guntur: "Oh no, here we go again..."
Kahlil: "My favorite animal or the one on top of my pet list would be a CAT! Puppies are also not bad, I once had a hamster but you know what happened to it, I never had a fish pet before but I'd like to have one given the chance, lizards or reptiles like snakes would also be cool! Oh, but spiders would be a bit of a strech, but--"
Guntur: "And there he goes. You have no idea how much trouble I get from Kahlil bringing in strays into our apartment."
Guntur: "When I get my own house, I don't mind getting one or two dogs, but that's it."
Arya: *scoff* "I don't get what is so fucking appealing about keeping pets."
Arya: "They're troublesome to take care of. Cats? They scratch, they drop and break things, they wake us up on ungodly hours. Dogs? They lick, they chew, they droll, and the big ones will destroy the house."
Arya: "Most importantly, they are short-lived. Once we finally settle down and grow attached to them, they'll die. Thank-fucking-God I don't have the time nor commitment to spare."
Guntur: *snicker* "You sound well-informed for someone who's not interested in pets. Have you had any of them?"
Arya: *glare* "What do you think?"
*Kahlil is still talking in the background, his pet list is so long, it sounds like like he's describing a zoo*
2. What pets would they absolutely not want?--by: C
Kahlil: "Easy, bugs. They're too small and hard to take care of. What if I step on them?"
Guntur: "Anything with fleas is a no."
Arya: "Any kind is a NO. I'm not a fucking pet person. Never been and never will be."
