January 5th: New Artist

We welcome a new artist onto the team: Sen!

Sen is a friend of Achi and specializes in storyboarding and character art. Unfortunately for him I and Viri are already working on characters, so he will be helping storyboard cutscenes as well as creating different flora for the environment.

Shuli has been MiA for the last month or so and I’m extremely worried about progress. Currently no progress has been completed on tilemap, which is a long and tedious thing to do– Shuli said there were complications due to family issues and therefore could not have completed anything.

This is kind of what I have been afraid of for a while. Shuli is rather flakey and to be perfectly honest, I dont particularly buy the excuse of family issues. They should have told me earlier on that they weren’t available to work so that I could redistribute the work onto other artists.

Shuli swears this time that they’ll be on time and do something for once. I suppose this is my ultimatum to them. I’m not really sure what I’ll do if this doesn’t parse out again.

I’m still working on the enemies, I feel like I’m taking too long on something that shouldn’t be that important.

Viri is doing okay. He’s somewhat busy with medical school but still contributes decently in terms of concept art for Stellio, the main character. I think I may need to take over after a while because he isn’t exactly familiar with the pipeline of character creation, and doesn’t have enough time to dedicate to it.

Achi is killing it on background concepts. No notes. I guess the only thing I’m worried about is how to turn those visions into tilesets.

Aurora seems to be getting busy with work and stagnating on coding. I’ll check in with her more often.

Overall it seems like our progress is slowing down, which is worrying me.
