Hi, everyone. Tim here with a brief update.
Battle background artwork complete!
While my last update said I would focus on releasing the soundtrack and looking at any feedback received from the demo for improvements, I didn't receive any feedback yet and decided to move forward with directly working on what's required for the full release.
I've been working since January on completing the game's background battle art. Three remained, one of them quite larger than the others, and I finished them last week.
What's next
If you've played the demo, you've seen that each battle mode begins with a short poem, and there are a few more that I have to compose for the rest of the game's post demo modes. While I've written a lot of notes on the kinds of themes I wish to explore for each one, I'm also breaking out some of my collections at home to get my line writing muscles loosened up.
So I'm focusing on getting the game's artistic assets all wrapped up so I can get back to the "practical" things I'll need to do to create the launch version of the game. When writing poetry, sometimes the lines come quickly, in a single sitting. And other times I have to just show up every day until it's done.
You can't make the grass grow by pulling on it.
