REDACTED and Other Updates!
This year is almost at a close, and things are certainly flying by faster than I can track them! This week’s blogpost is going to be a bit shorter than the more recent ones, but it still has a couple of fun things in it! There are some future site updates incoming, some information about future projects, such as Tearna’s Journal, and a glimpse into the art of REDACTED! Let’s get going!
REDACTED
Starting things off, lets look at Redacted at last! The emblem is meant to encapsulate everything about this mystery faction. Red and gold is their primary theme, and the difference between the three prongs and the smooth shield highlights their weird mix of jank and pretty. Even the symbol on the shield means something, though I won’t spoil it just yet! Already, the site has been updated in the Factions section to accommodate the newest faction, but information about them is going to be a little lean until they are finally revealed in the story. All I can say right now, is wait for Ragnarok!
Future Updates
Alright, now onto the meat of this blogpost. There are multiple updates planned for the website, so let’s start from the top and work our way down! To start, the faction page should be getting a major update here fairly soon. I don’t know if it will be ready by next week, but both the UEC and the Sapphire Eye are going to be getting entire sections detailing their leadership, culture, history, and other things that I deem relevant. This will help broaden our understanding of these factions and why they are so at odds with each other without spoiling too much of the story! That update will either be out next week or the week after, so stay tuned!
Next up, Tearna’s journal! The next entry will be a little delayed because I am shifting priority briefly. My plan is to work a little more on my current editing with the third book, but I am rapidly approaching a break point. When I hit that point, I’m going to shift gears and knock out a huge chunk of Tearna’s journal all at once! From there, the short story page will be getting regular updates about once every two weeks until I exhaust my backlog, at which point we’ll go back to a more uncertain release schedule. Stay tuned!
On the subject of short stories, updating the short story page format is something else on the agenda. It’s not as exciting, but I am going to work on a bookshelf style page layout since there are going to be a LOT more entries on here than I initially planned.
Now, onto the next round of art. I am trying a new style, again, and working on the piece I mentioned a few weeks back for James Stockton! My time has been massively limited, but I have begun the process of actually sketching him out. It is going to take a LOT longer for me to finish him though! I am NOT good at drawing humanoid figures, and human facial features have always been… difficult for me. Nevertheless, I am moving forward and hope to have a sketch ready to go at some point here soon, so keep your eyes peeled for the face of our villain!
Finally, in regards to twitch, I am going to start working here soon on some assets for the stream, some of which will be 2d, but some of which will be animated! I’m looking forward to bringing it online, and I think there will be some excitement about it if I can pull it off!
Conclusion
I said this was going to be short! There’s no point in making this agonizingly long if I don’t have to. In the future, I am toying with the idea of expanding the blogs and possible doing some other types of content, like music or game recommendations. We’ll see how I feel, but, in the meantime, stay tuned and stay safe out there! Cheers!
