Backgrounds, character sprites, this month's after story update (Patreon)

So... I haven't been able to get around any new projects because I'm still busy with Seiyuu Danshi stuff. That game seems to last forever and I don't feel right working on other games seriously until I'm completely finished with Seiyuu Danshi stuff ^^;. 

However, I've started commissioning backgrounds, character images, and coding the UI (coding UI is kinda relaxing to me) to prepare for when I'm completely done with Seiyuu Danshi stuff. Remaining responsibility is: voice and physical copy & merchandises, and I've seen the end of the tunnel for both! :D Artist from Baradise Escape hasn't returned yet, so I'm operating under the assumption that he will not be coming back (I'll be welcoming him back with open arms when he does, though... I like his art style ^^;). 

Backgrounds:

I recently met a reliable background artist that can deliver art in very timely manner + good quality, and I think I'll be working with him for a long time, just like my current CG artist :3 

I commissioned him to make backgrounds with a rather unconventional dimension, which is 32:9 (or, twice the 16:9 dimension). I'm thinking to make the backgrounds scrollable, and there will be interactable characters standing all over the backgrounds (basically similar to how the maps work on Seiyuu Danshi, just this time, the interactable characters are not in chibi form!)

Here are some of his works (I really like it, hope you guys like it too ~^_^~)

Some UI screenshots...

Soo, since I've been really enjoying designing UIs these days... (I used to hate designing / coding UIs, but that somehow changed over the years xD), here are some UI stuff that I've been doing!

Unfinished character sketches: 

I've also been commissioning some more character commissions, partly because I don't want to stop giving my current artist work (she's great, reliable, and been a big help) and also because I want to have more varieties in love interests for my next serious game... which is pretty much still undecided, really. I really need to finish Seiyuu Danshi stuff before I can have everything fixed for next game ^^;

This month's after story!

For this month's after story, I've decided to work on Toru-chi's! (since he won the poll this month). The overall theme will be about Toru-chi and Haato's newlywed life. I'm finished with the scenario. It was somehow very easy writing this month's episodes, it was like my hands were typing by themselves? x"D (I guess I'm only good at writing sickeningly romantic stuff). Only waiting for the scene CG image to be done now, and I'll keep you guys updated!

Wordcount for after story has reached 33K words! Hope to continue this until it reaches 100K words (I'll probably continue doing this until you guys get bored of the Seiyuu Danshi characters x'D)

...And that's it! This update was kinda all over the place with lots of random stuff, because that's basically how life has been for me... ^^; Hope you guys enjoy this update regardless! 

I'll post again once this month's after story is finished. Until then, see ya! :3
