Hmm...I tried getting another artist to help me lighten the load
Not sure how I feel about this art style, this was a design for a third sister; i'm kind of inclined to continue to do my own version.What do you think? Should I keep using this artist? Is this character worth keeping or does the art need a bit of a boost (Which I can do)?
Coffee break...
You can now, if so inclined buy me a coffee ☕️ https://ko-fi.com/mcmurchieAll proceeds go into more latex for Snep 😼 a boob job for snow 🦊 and a thong for Fel 😈
Echoes of the Void: Another potential song for the game
Note i just thew a bunch of images and videos there to keep the eyes busy whilst listening.
She has a sister...
Also, I drew this character first about 1 month ago - i've just changed her hair colour now, gave her more muscle tone.3 months ago, I had drawn a different version of her that would have been Fel.Btw, any of my art that looks like pencil work is in krita, any that looks pixelated or lower res is in aseprite.
Variants...
What looks better? What do you want to see more of? i.e. longer snout, fatter snout, more whiter patches? Etc
ROUND 6
Tabby Farstone (Left)A commissioned officer in the Sekarri fleet, she looks after flight traffic control. Tabby is shy and socially awkward, she struggles with social queues but has a heart of gold. She is curious to see a human. Snow (Right)a trader, trafficker and part time assassin. Snow would have no problems drinking with, flirting and making love to a human as long as she gets a chance to rifle through his wallet and accounts once he is worn out for the night. Snow enjoys dark humour, stro...
She needs a name and a background story ..
I'm going to let you guys contribute for her.Only a few guard rails....She is a member of the same race as Snow and Caelix - that means they are a fraction driven species.2 main sides:A: a totalitarian, mafia like state with connections and hubs in planets all over the galaxy. B: A rebellious resistance like faction, that are still pretty big but built of many decentralised splinter cells.Both have militaries, both have 'transient' morale values. Neither side are saints.Their species...
Wee update & Mini-Blog
Picture above: A sneak peak at LV2Why does the text box look so much better?One of the things I think makes my game screens standout is really thanks to your feedback. Some of you might remember that the text was hard to read, the colours, tones and textbox bg conflicted.So I did a bunch of research, no one explicitly said what was the best way to do it. So I checked the visual novels that resonated most with players and noticed something subtle, but important. All the text had a shadow, you wou...
I've been busy...
The 'story'I had a few good people reach out to me to ask 'hey Adam, why so quiet?'Well unfortunately about 5 days ago I noticed a leak in the kitchen ...It got progressively worse each day.So I got plumbers round "Can't find it, it must be coming from the roof."So I got roofers round "Can't find it, it must be under the bath..get a plumber."After 2 days of pulling out tiles, floorboards and digging through walls I found the leak! But i'm British and l...
ROUND 5!
Caelix Quin (Left): Whilst apparently casual and chill, is in fact a covert operative, as part of a resistance cell. Unlike her sisters, she has more of a moral compass. Evelyn Twilcroft (Right): A corporate CEO, she had 2 of her limbs ripped off as a child but rather than emphasise with others based on her own past, she applies the notion of 'I worked hard to get where i am, so can you'. You can woo her with corporate speak and buzzwords.
Round 4!
A: The Drakhan medic, a staunch pacifist and deep passion for exotic life i.e. humans. B: The ambitious, low level politician, with a drive for abandoning her peoples pacifistic ways and a return to expansionism.
As promised: Introducing Pakhan, Sekarri special forces Prime Claw.
Still a work in progress, so please give me time before showing him in a full scene.(I'm coding and animating a full animated cutscene for him)This guy is MEGA BADASS....Quick Brief: Prime claw: Meaning he has 300 men under him.Background: Non political, any talk of race, religion, philosophy is considered 'politics' - don't push him for an opinion.Informal rivalry with Fel, though on the same side, there is some bad blood; she rejected him, and no one rejects him. *Still in desi...
Want more generated tunes? Just now until I sign a band (info in this post)
One thing I should make clear- if you check my history, long before I was an artist, a dev and a game dev; i've been an AI expert. I've taught, lectured in the UK, USA, China, Poland, Dubai and other places. I've been building models for long before google even had an AI department (2014).I've got some amazing songs...literally very happy with them.But I know we have people in here with aversion to generated content..so I want to gauge numbers so I can make sure i'm giving p...
The game has a soundtrack now 🤣 err kind off
This is a song I created with AI just playing about since it's a Friday...The lyrics do cover the basics of the story and mention the drones...
Introducing Tabby Farstone
Let me know your thoughts guys - any happy vibes more than welcome..i'm totally shattered 😅😴
Why are you in Tabby's room?

Snow gets a boob job (relax - it's just a scribble, she wont change!)
Just playing about...her former self doesn't look to happy about it all though.
Early Sneak & Coming Soon
Hey guys, I wanted to let you know I might be quiet the next 2 or 3 days as i'm working on a big element of the game (which will be EPIC!...I hope!) In the meantime here is a sneak peak at the beginning of chapter 2.I'm making progress on getting chapter 2 completed (it will have 3 subchapters)- and then shipping it for you guys to play! (I think you will get about 1 - 4 hours play time from the demo)FYI: the reason the first two chapters take the longest is because thats where all the f...
Give snow a boob job?
The latest vid got 1/10th the views of my other ones... either i got the thumbnail wrong or she isn't as striking as the other bunch? What do you think?
AMA - for the next 24 hours
This got the highest votes in the poll, so I want to give you guys a chance to ask me anything you like - just put your question in the comments and I promise i'll answer them all. If you prefer anonymous then just DM me!
Here ya go gang..it's a bit buggy, I should probably have cleaned it up a bit more but was eager to get something out today!
Still come at me with your feedback - just bear in mind it's a early version.
Round 2
Option 1: Go with Snep, who wants to 'interrogate' you personally. Option 2: Go with Krita, who needs you to help her 'fix' some stuff in the back.
Sneak Peak: What is Fel trying to tell Kira?
Some good news, I've finished all the RTS stuff I need to complete chapter 2! So that's what i'll be doing the week coming.
