Things have been kinda slower than I'd like for updates. I've been struggling to focus especially with my dog, Maple, being so needy. It pulls me from work and concentration. However I do have some things to show.

I have some Live2D art I'm working on. Colleen, Sarah, Brandon, Domenic and -redacted- are in the process. Some outfits and accessories still need to be drawn and then I can rig.

They dont have arms yet since Ive decided they will be done separately. I also have 2 more character (Noah and Christophe) sketched up ready to go. I have two more major characters to sketch up (art up) and 5 minor characters art before I'll be focusing back on programming. This also lets my editors work on the scripts. I'm still waiting on chapter 2 back from one editor and 3-5 from the other before they go to second editor.

I've also been working on the opening animation. This will go slow. So far it has taken me 3 days for 10 seconds. I'm thinking I will only work on a few seconds at a time since its a lot of work, and it will allow me to not get burned out on it. I'm using the help of 3D models to keep proportions since I'm not very skilled at animation. However, here are some animation WIPs.

This is all I have so far. Im sorry its not more (also sorry the last gif is glitchy, CSP keeps freezing on me).

My shoulder is in pain from drawing so much the last few days so I'm going to be taking a break. I also want to rewrite a few chapters of the story since I feel they drag a bit too much and I'd like to condense them somehow.
