hello! it's been a little over a month since my last update.
some life updates: I started a full-time job about a month ago! I'm out of retail! yay!
unfortunately, this means I've had less time to work on FC. however, I've still been working on it in my free time.
updates aren't very exciting this time around--for the most part, I've just been working on redoing my old tilesets and character sheets.
currently, I'm working on the tilesets for the hotel and the outside of the town.
to give you an idea of what I've got to work with:
the above screenshot is a side-by-side of the old hotel vs the new hotel. I drew the first iteration 2 years ago, and the newest one this week. I feel like I've made quite an improvement! you can see that it'll take a bit of time to get everything else to look consistent, lol.
since I'm working on the hotel, I'll share a bit about the locations in the game. there are 5 main locations in the game: the hotel (which I'll show more in a second), the convenience/grocery/everything store known as M Art (bit of a pun on "mart"), the restaurant, the post office, and the arcade. all of these locations lie on the right side of town, which is the shopping area.
here's a little snippet of what I've been doing:
I don't have much else to share this time! I'm steadily working on improving my tilesets for the most part. it's not super exciting stuff, but I think once I get everything to look right, it'll look much more aligned with the vibe I'm going for with this game.
once I finish these tilesets, I'll make sure all the characters look how I want them to. I'll also share them on here of course!
