This week a lot of progress was made on the art for the new council member visits. Let's take a look at some of that!

Poor General Normand, looks like he didn't like the contents of that letter. This is what the art looks like before shading is done. From here it will be polished to give it the same feel as the art currently in the game.

This time around, all the council member visits have two primary paths based off how many "hearts" you've earned with them. Since this is the second visit, it's if you have a heart or none. Based on that you will get one of two different scenes with variations based on if you pass the checks as normal.

Writing has also made a lot of progress, with a few of them being pretty much complete and the rest getting there. My hope is to get out a $10 build of just the new council member visits and the card combiner system before the month ends. So... I guess four days from now. Guess I'd better crunch that out!

After that's done will be the new random events for fall, which will be packaged with the new council member visits into a $5 test build. There will also be a test build next month for TF Card Battle 1.0, as that wasn't able to be finished this month as planned. Sorry about that, the design still isn't quite working yet.

But on card game news, over at the Apollo Seven discord, we've been brainstorming the next deck building project. This won't be started for a while, but since TF Card Battle is wrapping up, it's time to start thinking about pre-production for it's "sequal". Think less Ascension and more Slay the Spire. But we're veering away from princess, palaces and... whatever is going in TF Card Battle.

This next game is Cyberpunk themed! At least, that's the idea right now. I've got a pretty cool gameplay system cooking for it, so it should be a good time. If you want to have some input, head on over to the discord and join the discussion. This game won't start production for a while though, I've got my hands full as is.
