On a chilly December evening in 1925, the stage is set...
It's been a year since I started working on Verismo with my complete focus. There's been plenty of breaks and empty days but just as many intense weeks of focus.
I can't believe it's been almost 6 months since I uploaded the demo. Time is flying fast.
Before I disappear into the void again I wanted to share how my babies have changed over the year.
The main cast in June 2024 (the first time I drew any of them. I had no clue what style to go for)
The main cast today. Looking spiffy.
I've been mulling over my progress since I uploaded the demo in January. I've decided to think of that demo as my first "game", the final demo as the second game, and the release as my third. I feel a little more accomplishment having finished the first step of this journey.
My goal is to finish this next demo by the end of the year. There is a ton of art to do up-front, but because it all takes place in one town, it'll cut back on the art I have to do later, hopefully.
Anyway.
A dopo.
