Refactoring and Sketches


So I spent the weekend basically refactoring my code and oh boy, past me sure did a mess. I barely manage to get the new features up and running as planned, but there's hardly any content.  I'll have to redraw my past assets to fit this current one and I'll be focusing on just that for this week. More art, less coding. Yay!

I sketched new bodies, both male and female. 

Changed the pose to a more chest-out posture, and slightly changed the viewing angle to the top. It's a small change but this should make drawing outfits much easier for me. The old version had no tilt so I had trouble expressing 3D shapes with just lineart. I usually rely on highlights and shading for that.

Accessories and add-ons!

I tried adding swords and shield to wherever it made sense and it looked really good! So I got a bit ambitious and asked, what if I had them hold something? And that also turned out great! So far it looks like it'll only work with bulky sleeves that hides the anatomy under, but hell I'm just happy that it worked out. 

Unfortunately though, I rolled real low when it comes to reusing assets to fit other body types.

I tried fitting in chibi-chans outfit to the guy and it ended up looking super weird. So I guess I really do have to draw separate outfits for the chibis, and they'll only be exclusive to that body type. While the reverse(adult to chibi) seem to fit at first, it ended up looking like a resized adult. I think the triangle silhouette of the outfits is what really sells that chibi-look.

Anyway thank you so much for those who have purchased in this project!  I really appreciate the support. Hopefully by next week I can finally upload some content and get a free demo up and running. Cheers!
