AUGUST 18th?! "Thank god, it's Friday" INDEED~!!! TIME TO MARK YOUR CALENDARS, FOLKS!!!
Woah, it feels like my birthday even tho' I'm not even an August-born child (but hey, October is KINDA close to August, riiight?).
Honestly, I don't mind you're releasing another update as "Arc 5 - Part 1 & 1/2" or whatever-you-wanna-call it. OW is your passion project after all, and I think it's wonderful (heh) that you're putting in the time and effort that's needed to convey your inner vision! The fact that you continue to experiment with new techniques, like animation, is admirable. That curious and adventurous spirit of yours will definitely lead to more interesting knowledge & skills for your creative toolbox, for sure!
Heck, with the news of "Arc 5 - Part 1 & 1/2"...it's like you gave me two cakes for my so-called "August" birthday. Now, I got "Arc 5 - Part 2" to someday look forward to as well! That just gives me more time with the characters and their shenanigans, so I'm certainly not complaining~
Best of luck to you, Carrot!
PS: Hope your drawing hand is resting well! You're such a hard-working and earnest storyteller, Carrot. Your game's totaled CG count thus far (about ~412 total) is honestly jaw-dropping AMAZE.BALLS!!! Heck, that total doesn't even consider the individual frame counts that'll go into the future animation (and Christ on a cracker, I sweat bullets over the thought)!
Thank goodness Past!Carrot wisely added a Gallery function, cause I'll be damned if I don't get myself 100% Completion!!! Can't wait to see the castle sequence~
LOLOL I ALWAYS RELEASE ON FRIDAYS. Both because I feel like it's better for players as they're more likely to have free time with the weekend, and also because I need the weekend myself to recover DJFJFJFII Releases cause me much anxiety and tumult LOL
Awww thank you very much for saying that!! I feel like my biggest worry was people being confused and/or dissatisfied that it's not the finale yet 💦 And/or just being annoyed that I can never keep with my plans LOLOL I JUST CAN'T HELP IT. But I do hope people will still enjoy some of the work that went into this. I swear with each new release I do (either for this or a side game) I learn more and more, so I hope to think the general experience of the game is also improving (this is partly why in the future I also hope to revisit the game and try to "remaster" some of the early parts lolol)
And lolol that's true! People will still have the actual final finale to look forward to even after this 🤭
Yeah,,,,,, the total CG count is getting a little bit ridiculous at this point GOD 💦 And I can only imagine what the finale will add to it eventually 😭 I TRY NOT TO PUSH MYSELF. I just have so many Images and Scenes in my mind I want to fully envision djfjdj AND LOL I'M GLAD THE GALLERY IS HELPFUL. It's true that without it you'd have no way of knowing if you're missing any of the CGs 🤣
Ahhhh thank you in general so much for the support! It really means so much!! 😭💕 And I hope you'll enjoy the new part when it comes out!! 😺 (don't ask me why I put a cat here, I felt compelled)
