I have rendered a sneak peek clip from the opening part of Araphel's castle cutscene, prelude to the choice-based battle system I plan on introducing to the game.
I've also refined Araphel's true form concept art exponentially to a design that's more agreeable, and it's very much neon genesis evangelion inspired too.
Meanwhile, I'm enjoying my new full-time job!—although I had to heavily adjust my sleep schedule in order to fit in adequate game development time; I now wake up at 4:30 AM to work on the game for approx 2-3 hours, and at the end of the day I go to sleep around 8 PM. It might read like I'm crazy for waking up at that time, but I'm already a morning person so why not? In addition, I'm still getting a minimum 7 hours of sleep. If you're looking to maximize your at-home work time, I highly suggest you try a schedule similar to mine. Who knows? you might just like it!
