2023 into 2024
2 years ago
Hope the end of one year and the beginning of another finds you well.
It was a ton of fun writing the first two 'Tales' volumes and a third one is about 75% written. Just started the art for this and am hoping to get the first chapter up early in the new year. It's going to be a bit lighter than the first two stories and (hopefully) a bit more humourous. You get to meet Sarah's parents and a new antagonist makes himself known. I hope you enjoy it as much as I am creating it.
The other big creative project in the pipeline is a visual novel. It will also be set in Malaka and feature Jacob, Sarah and Marcus. I spent a few hours on a plane yesterday writing down ideas and how it will be structured. Some of the principles I came up with are:
1. It will take place from the perspective of the guest (you or the 'user', if you will)
2. The guest's choices will both slightly and dramatically change the outcome of the story
3. Most of the scenes will take place in sites found in the 'Tales from Malaka' stories
4. Visual clues will be placed in the art to help guide the viewer towards the 'happy path' ending
5. There will be a LOT of art
Not gonna reveal too much more as it'll be more fun for folks to experience it without knowing too many of the 'secrets.' ;)
Totally open to suggestions and ideas. Let me know what your experiences have been with 'Ad Astra' and other furry VN's and what you would like to see.
Thanks, as always <3

I wouldn't mind seing some kind of 'secrets', puzzles if you like , or something of the sort. Something that would engage an interested reader. My experience with visual novels was almost purely good. I just finished playing Echo (THeSmokeRoom too) and started Arches. Before I've also enjoyed Nekojishi and Extracurricular Activities.
