Where are those two guys? (Patreon)

Hey all. "One of those two guys",  Marty, calling in!  

Sorry for making you wait on some FET news. Cbob has gone silent for  a bit longer than I'm comfortable with and I've basically been waiting to hear back from him again. It's very easy to postpone writing an art update when postponing for another day might provide you the news/email you've been waiting for.   I wanted to at least show some sort of life signs before the end of the weekend, so here I am. 

I'm not entirely worried yet, but I did send Cbob another email yesterday telling him it's about time to let me(and everyone) else know what he's been up to. Stuff in the not so distant past has made me very wary of extended periods of silence from him. But let's just for the moment assume he's simply enjoying the weekend(which I hope you're doing too) and I'll be hearing from him in a day or two. At that point I'll update this post again with whatever he has to add. 

Just to be clear, I don't expect us to finish a new FET build this month and I very much doubt he'll slap down a link to a new build in his next email to me.

If you played the last build till the end you know the player is leaving the swamp and will be visiting a new location. New locations are always a lot of extra work. I made the swamp part entirely by myself to give Cbob some extra downtime, but the swamp was a nicely secluded piece of the world so it  worked out nicely as it's own separate part for me to create, but I'll need Cbob to take on his responsibilities again for happens after it and am dependent on what he'll tell me.

Some physical proof of my hectic earlier months  (the current one not excluded) is the fact those dots/lines on my keyboard to find the "F" and "J" key had eroded to the point I couldn't type blind anymore! 

It's hard to properly appreciate those small elevations on your "F" and "J" keys until you've tried typing without them! Truthfully, it's a pretty old keyboard.  I'm certain they just coincidentally reached that threshold of being eroded just  enough for me to not feel them anymore at the end of a particularly busy period.

But I still needed that keyboard and those dots! A new one would take some time to arrive so I just went ahead and

...dripped some candle wax on the two keys...  

Yes, it looked ghetto as fuck and I have no idea what made me think it would work... but much to my own surprise it did. And pretty well too! At least for two days and that's as long as I needed it to.

Since I really needed some change after doing the swamp part (for my own sanity) I also started working on 18Titans again on the side. My progress with that is  limited and nothing which I'd want to call a new build yet, but its progress nonetheless. Officially you can  just consider it to be still on hiatus, but I have been busy making Terra a member of the titans. 

Other than that I've been diving into some android problems and a bunch of other knickknacks which I can't remember right now. 

As soon as I get some real news from Cbob I'll let you all know.

As for where Sokka and Aang are... NSFW pic down below! Bigger version in the attachment.
