Awoo mates!

I hope you had a good Christmas and New Year! Mine were relaxing and lovely <3 I thought I'd give you an update on the progress on stuff.

The work on Max's update is going absolutely amazing and I can't wait to show it to you as soon as it's ready! I'm currently at 9k new words of script, and while that's quite a bunch there's still a lot I want to go through plus I'll need to draw a special CG for it, so I'm definitely gonna finish and share it in February. I hope you'll like it! It's gonna be sweet, exciting, and hecking wild. I'm vibrating thinking about it!

Other than that, you've probably seen my Tweet about looking for new Knotsoft members to contribute to ShelterVN and SheltRPG(the temporary code name of our side project). If not, here it is:

I'd like to particularly stress out my priority in finding the TWEEN ANIMATOR. Someone who can animate smooth idle and action animations from provided character sprites. If you know a good animator with experience and those particular skills, please kindly harass them to get in contact with me! I already have a bunch of sprites for them to test on.  

We're making steady progress on coding the groundwork of SheltRPG and I'm extremely excited by the fact we've already started coding the Mana mechanics into it this week! I'll be sharing more bits and pieces on that project over the months. It's gonna take time, but we'll keep moving forward!

As for my personal life, I'm currently in Lima (Peru), which is a beautiful, delicious, and very affordable city. I'll be going to USA to visit a friend at the last day of January, and then I'll be staying in Canada for at least three months, keeping full focus on work. This is going to be an exciting, productive year!

Sometimes I wonder if I should share more photos from my travels. I sometimes do that on Discord, but maybe I will on Twitter too!

Anyway, that's it. Max's update coming along nicely, expect it in a few weeks. Look forward to it!

Awoo~!
