FINALLY the OST Preview!!

There are 4 total tracks I had made for TCM by the very talented melonine music. They were a wonderful resource to work with as their credits include not only several VNs but also some larger scale game projects as well!The first track we'll be looking at is the Main Menu theme, this is the all-purpose TCM theme an...

Last of the splash screen!

Okay so today we'll be wrapping up the last of the Splash Screen ends and pieces! Amir's rendering came out SO good, Atlas is always on the ball about giving him dynamic, sexy poses. Also, I'm excited Amir's hair is shown loose because that's a look I love a lot.Amir's facial details somehow mak...

More Splash Screen

So with the background rendered, Atlas begins breaking down all of the individual elements of the piece. I specifically asked that all the character elements remain on individual layers so that I can crop/shift as needed for various size applications.Altas was unsatisfied with the original Akello body and while sometim...

More Splash Screen Progress

Okay lets get right into it!Finally getting to see Mori in his element was really a big exciting thing for me, and I'm really in love with all the details Atlas got on this man and ALSO how legitimately happy he looks.Close up of the lining processEarly stages of Akello coming together. Love this mans's solid s...

Splash Screen

Today we will take a look at Atlas' most current project: the game's splash screen. So what TCM needs at this point is a polished key visual that can sit as a background to the main menu of the game and then also as kind of a high fidelity artwork i can use as a backsplash or like "boxart" type visual.S...

June was a long and busy month!

I want to do a few formal posts about the Kickstarter, how I put it together/executed it, what went well, what I could do better, and talk about some of the upcoming rewards I'm going to be developing but time has bee super short this month so I'm going to put that off for a week or two to get into some of the ...

Amir Monster Daki

Okay! Here's a special more developed look at Amir's monster form daki. This is missing final rendering but you can see the general form and coloring/lighting that Atlas was going for here. I love that Amir's smokiness in this form makes him extra slinky and sensual, playing off his natural movements and ma...

Amir's Monster Daki

So Amir's monster form is a challenge because a lot of him is noncorporeal and suggested with light and shadows more than real tangible physical form. We looked at various monsters (including Elder Scrolls Flame Atronachs) to sort of wrap our heads around how we wanted his body to look against bedding and then also...

GUI OVERHAUL SNEAK PEEK

The lovely and talented ingthing has been hard at work redesigning the UI and user experience for TCM and I wanted to give you guys the very first look at what they've got cooking. So you can see that for visibility and optical accessibility, ingthing's first order of business is rendering the general shape and...

Amir Daki - Sketch and a look at Flat Colors

With Amir, we wanted to do something classic with a lot of hair and flowing fabric. Atlas knew exactly what kinds of vibes I was putting down and came up with this absolutely drop dead gorgeous pose that still absolutely floors me every time i see it.

Mori Daki - Flat Colors and Monster Form

I'm so excited to finally post the sketches for Mori's monster dakimakura as wells as a few additional looks at the the flat coloring for Mori's human form.I can't wait to put one of these pillows in my bed i swear to god.As a sidenote, I'm still working on the KS and want to present facts/numbers t...

Mori Daki Lineart

Atlas has been working SO hard on these daki prints so I want to make sure that each stage is well documented and showcased because their process and attention to detail is amazing to see.So with the Mori daki, we specifically wanted to have his hair loose and him wearing a trademark cocky little expression and you can...

Mori Daki Refined Sketches

I always say this but Atlas really REALLY knocked this one out of the park. Mori's slimey essence is so wonderfully captured here. We both really wanted to emphasize his loose hair and stomach on TOP of his overconfident attitude. I love all the little details Atlas managed to get on him, especially his mismatched,...

Akello Concept Gallery

Its finally time to talk about DAKIs

So after polling here and the TCM discord, atlas and I set to work on planning out how 6 daki panels would look for each of the three main characters and their monster forms. First up was Mori.These were Atlas' preliminary sketches and we ultimately decided to go with the second one as it felt a little more "Mo...

Special Concept Look - Marcel Jones

While Akello's adult son Marcel has no official sprite yet (that will change in the future) Atlas was kind enough to do some rough concepting work on him. Marcel is large and amiable like his dad but he has an impetuous streak and likes to do things his own way. He's a hard worker and thus expects to be recogni...

Akello CG - Final Lines and Color

So this was the first rough for Akello and as usual, Atlas has a way with thick bodies that I just ADORE. We went through a couple different pose adjustments before we found a look we liked.In the end we went back to having his left hand raised because we both thought it looked appropriately regal/pleasantly dominating...

Akello CG - Background

You can see Atlas' progress through the next few process shots- their process is really cool to watch as the finished image evolves and like we looked at last time, that perspective shift really makes the space feel alive and dynamic.We wanted to show Akello's personality in his space as much as we could. You c...

Special Commission from Epoch_smog/Basil

They just do Amir so much justice, the details are so delightul.

Akello CG Development

Okay! The next step in art direction and development for Akello's chapter- the CG. Since the cg is the best chance for players to get an intimate feel for the character, Atlas and I are always trying to think of new ways to position and light interesting scenes. Another challenge is that because these have all been...

Finalized Monster Sprite

Finally I can show you the extremely intricate and VERY cool monster sprite Atlas did for Akello. Like I've shown in the development steps, we were very interested in showing Akello with a mix of textures and viscosities to highlight the flexibility and usefulness of his form. Atlas pursued this deep green with hig...
