Crumble's Monthly Newsletter #3

Whoopsies! This one was a day late! My apologies, it's been a turbulent time for me recently, but it'll be okay in the end yo!!

Now first of all, FTHOI 2!! I have to admit that not a TON of progress has been made on it this month, if only because I've been focusing more on my schoolwork and on my next youtube video! But, progress has been made!! Here's a clip from scene 5 (which will be partially animated by my friend Ana, and partially by me!)
 

Will it release in February? I'm not sure honestly, but I'll try my best! For now I'm just trying not to overwhelm myself! Animation takes time, like all projects do, but I'll work on this one bit by bit until it's done, I'll still do my best to get it out in February to March though!!

Next up, Merchant Quest! I was originally going to have a small playable prototype/demo ready for today, but with how turbulent things have been recently I haven't had the time to make that happen. I have been working on the game though, and a basic playable prototype should be ready soon for just testing and playing around! It's not that big or anything, please know it's just a simple small linear combat game! I'll do my best to get it done by the summer as promised, but I can never know for 100% sure!!

The combat's totally done (aside from polish and stuff but that'll come once all the basics are in place for the rest of the game!). I'm almost done with the game's inbetween run shop system, and while it certainly won't look flashy, it'll be functional, and I hope it'll be enough!!

Last but definitely not least, my next youtube video!!

I was originally planning on not uploading another video until April, and focusing on FTHOI for the next 2 months, but I had SO much fun making my last video that I said screw it and I'm making a second one right now!! It'll likely be much shorter (around or under 10 minutes), but it's higher effort and more well researched than my last one, as it'll be a bit of an analysis and explenation of one the game's main mechanics!! (Lunacy)

I've already audio edited almost 4 minutes of the video already!! And I feel like I could 100% finish it by the 10th of February! After that, I'll try to continue to upload monthly videos, big and small!!

Lastly, you were all credited in the Lunacid video, and you will continue to be credited at the end of every single video, thank you all so so so much for your support it's genuinely meant so much to me, I want to make sure that 2025 can be a year that I do my best in and try to get somewhere and make more of a name for myself than JUST the Daily Harmony artist!!

If you'll excuse me, I have a daily harmony to draw!

Later taters! <3
