Log #4: Fancy new visual, official name change
Yesterday, we sent out our FIRST email newsletter! And that newsletter forced us to make some sort of key visual (or other giant header image graphic thing). If you are signed up for the newsletter, you will have gotten to see the new visual (and name change) first :).
The newsletter was sent out fairly late (~10pm EST) because we wanted to make a fancy image. The result is the one you see in the OP, and it took several hours, but it was really worth it. Do let us know what you think of it; like it, dislike it, too difficult to read, etc. This visual is just version 1.
Not only did we have to figure out the color and feel of the image, we had to finally decide on the final name for CAN – I mean COB. That's right, the game is now called "Chess of Blades", otherwise known as COB, like the tasty stuff you eat. We chose this name after throwing several at the people in Discord, with those present giving their opinion on which names they liked best. There will be many such opportunities, so join us in Discord~
Our search for artists (CG/Sprite and Backgrounds) continues, but we will be closing it at the end of this week. We've gotten a couple of responses from the artists we've spammed – respectfully inquired, but we haven't found THE ONE(s) yet. So send in your portfolios by the end of this week (as in Sunday) @_@. Artists have been found! We'll post more about that on another day~
We have basically finished writing the common route, so we are now working on the first of the possible romance routes! It should be done this week.
