Art Update

A lot going on! Been working on another questline for Artifact, as well as continuing working on Swarm.

Character art (for the first portion of Swarm, anyway) is almost complete. We're reworking the design of this posted character at the moment (which is why it's mostly blurred), then there is one more character to go. Work on the game's background and UI art is to begin after, and then I plan to release the first dev build soon after that has completed. I'm still going for a much more polished look than Artifact was at the beginning of early access and am actively avoiding using any sort of placeholder art for it.

As for Artifact art, here we have the first drawn background! I'm really happy with how it turned out. I plan for the next update to feature some of these new sex scenes and bg art. We have a lot going on this coming week, so the next update is very likely going to be early August.

I've got some family matters to attend to, so I'll be out of pocket until around this time next week. Times are still very tough. I seem to be in a cycle of working extra hard (like with making Phocal) to try and make ends meet, and pull through only to be met with sudden new large costs that put me behind once again. Over the past couple years I've learned that creating the art is a very time-consuming process, so being able to churn out something smaller like Phocal on my very own was satisfying. Phocal quite literally saved my ass this month, so much so that I am considering making another small game like it soon to help keep these larger projects chugging along.

Patreon support has been paramount to us, and we can't thank you enough for it! Without your help, this ALL would quite literally not be possible, so I am extremely grateful to you all. Have a great rest of your week, deviants!
