Update time! (Patreon)

Hey all, it's leg da... update day! A normal one this time, but first off here's a link to the hubpage for anyone new(ish) and didn't know there was one. It has been some time since I last mentioned it after all. It's a simple handy dandy collection of links to older projects.

Sooooo, I've been busy! Part of it is just the whole irl shebang of last month which naturally isn't immediately over, but only slowly settling. A bit slower than I thought. I got a lot of "aftermath" things to deal with but I'm not complaining since things could've ended infinitely worse. It has me away from my pc a lot more, which isn't entirely a bad thing. I was glued to it before.

This month would've been a Titans month, but I think it won't be a surprise to most of you it if I say that's not all that likely(at all). It's gotta be a Mai release. That's not a typo, you're a typo!

Actually, a few people suggested I'd take things easy this month and spend the entirety of the next month to work on the Titans and reset thing from that point onwards, starting and finishing a new build each month again. I like having the end of the month as a deadline and a reset of sorts sounds nice, but I'm not certain I'll be able/wanting to take that long to release a new Titans build. I like releasing something new for you to play with, so I'll see how things progress and let you know in another update once I get closer to a finished build. Just don't expect anything ready in April or start of May. From that point all bets are off.

I still haven't done anything too interesting in ways of reading or watching new things. My time has been more limited, but I've sort of watched an anime called Vinland Saga. I say "sort of" because I tried watching it before a while ago, but couldn't really get into it. Now I just blindly jumped into it halfway through the first season and did a lot of "skip-watching", which means watching it for a bit, skipping parts and watching again. It's the sort of thing which would enrage a fan of the series! There's a good reason for me doing that, two actually, but one of 'em is because I didn't want to risk getting too attached to the characters.

 It's one of those series where it feels like no one is safe from getting killed. I generally don't do well with that sort of series, but something was still telling me to watch it. It's probably the "I have no enemies" quote which I've seen here and there and kept me coming back, wanting to get the right context to that.

Well, as I saw more episodes the periods where I skipped parts got increasingly shorter. I haven't finished it yet. Still have to see the final episode and I want to, but I also don't. It's because right now it has a nice ending and there's no telling what the real final episode will be like. I think I'll give it a proper watch sometime in the future from the start again.

To return to 18Titans, it should be pretty clear (if you played the last build to the end) we'll see Terra again in the build I'm working on. Man did I have a strong dislike for the final episode of the cartoon concerning Terra! Felt very deflated. Gonna put a spin on that in my perverted version... just so you know.

I used to prefer for games/parodies to stick closely to the original material but I've changed my opinion on that over time and prefer variations and mixing up elements so there's a better chance to be surprised.

I also started replacing some titans backgrounds with higher res ones. Personally I prefer playing games such as FET etc in a smaller window on my pc, but once you go full screen the backgrounds become a blurry mess.

Anyway, I'm chugging along despite my slow start this time and will have more to say in few weeks when I've progressed more with the new titans build.

And finally here's something I drew for this update. Since that has also been a long time ago, I figured drawing a FET character whom I've barely touched throughout the games would be a nice change of pace.

Cheers, and till next time!
