Zoe1p2

So I'm going for a cyberpunk/90's kid feel here, but the leather jacket isn't showing up so well on paper. That's how I want a lot of characters to look. No uniforms, no unity. I want these characters to look like they came from 9 different sci-fi shows.

Hey guys. I guess there's no harm in keeping this more personal, you guys seem to care about me a lot.

I just got out of a 5 and a half year relationship. And yeah, it really really does mean I have a lot of time to direct my attention to this game now. Except today though, I'm going out on two different dates. So wish me luck! Don't worry about me, I have taken the time to heal properly.

That's Zoe on the left. She is for Aching Dreams 3, and she will be a character without an important job. I know it seems defacto that every character always has something (there was a thief, a detective, a treasure hunter, and a ghost hunter last game) but Zoe is going to concentrate on a very personal relationship type of story. It might have to do with something I've been going through.

So thanks guys for taking the time to read these stories instead of just hold spacebar, lol.

I can work consistently now, so expect things. Soon.

Merry Christmas

No, the content is not ready yet. Yes, I still plan on releasing this, along with the voice pack. I'm just asking you guys to not give up hope. I haven't. I'll get back to you guys when the pack is near completion

Larissa WIP

Larissa is a corrections officer. In the pic, on the right I decided to put up my pencil version. Hoohoo! How crappy I do draw with pencils! A good comparison, at least visually, will be to Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica. It's still a work in progress and while I was drawing the shotgun I accidentally erased part of her ass.

Shotgun Holster.

Carmen and Jeanne p1h1

After going on hiatus, I'm ready to get back onto things.

Carmen and Jeanne will come out... I'm thinking about just finishing the assets and showing it to yall, because getting it to actually fit in that flash file is ridiculous at this point. Ridiculous because of a myriad of technical issues regarding the flash, the amount of text lines to put in coupled with the Andrograde upgrades, everything basically doesn't fit, and it's a miracle I got it to fit in last time. Is there any new gameplay? Well I suppose if you feel like playing through Carmen and Jeanne again, and Catherine adds some challenges to the game like getting a lot of money. Voices...well... I'll put in what I have.

Aching Dreams 3. Winter 2012. Hopefully the world will end first.

Thanks for holding on.

Hentaicook at Anime Expo 2011

I'm going to Anime Expo 2011 to advertise Aching Dreams 2. I was thinking about putting out an Aching Dreams 2 offline cd that people could physically purchase, but as I'm satisfied with how online sales are going, I honestly can't afford to put it out on a disc. It was a mistake to offer it in the first place. I apologize and I'll make it clear: Aching Dreams and its sequels will only be sold on a digital format.

So Anime Expo is in Los Angeles, California. It's a business trip. Kinda. I'll be promoting AD2 by handing out flyers and at the same time selling art prints of popular characters (not AD), like this picture of Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII. I'll be in the Artist Alley, where it's a bunch of people that sell art prints, or stupid cute things like stickers or anime pins. I'll be drawing up about 10 different art pieces to sell, they go for about $5 paper size, 10$ for small poster size. I'll try not to make them too embarrassing because I do have to run to office depot to print these out. As much as everyone here loves Taiyo, do any of you really want to hang her up on your wall? It's a real question, respond please.

But while making zombie butt kicking drawings is really fun, the main reason I'm there is to promote AD2S by passing out flyers. I'm testing the waters, and really wondering if anime conventions are a good place to find customers for this game.

So it's about a month's diversion until I get back on track with finishing up on AD2S and AD3. I know right now's a lot of bitching, "Where's the update!?", but I don't want to rush things. I'd rather take my time and release something that we're all happy with. Everyone was pretty happy with SanzaXFrei, so I'm hoping to get a similar result with Catherine+CarmenXJeanne. Anyone coming to Anime Expo?
