Well, this is a little embarrassing.
So, what's up? why's Clancy different? well there's a few reasons, actually, most of which I'm not entirely comfortable with disclosing, personal life stuff, relationships, learning that you probably should only co-design characters in your video game with people you're sure you're gonna be on speaking terms with for a little longer than a few months, etc. In addition, Clancy is in a lot of ways a mirror of myself, I put a lot of myself into her character and as such, I felt like I needed to update her based on how I've changed over the past few months, for instance: becoming a girl. (full time, at least.)
I'll leave it up to you to decide if making her green also represents how my life has changed.
Anyway, getting around to redesigning her (and also giving some minor touch-ups to the rest of the cast) has been my main hurdle in continuing development, it's tough to work on a game when you're constantly thinking about needing to change the main character's design, and it's worse when you're constantly blanking on what you even want it to look like, and it's even MORE worserer when you JUST posted art of the character publicly, GAH! what a world!
Oh well, if nothing else I'm happy with the new design and I genuinely do prefer it to the old one, so hopefully green Clancy will survive to see the final game unlike her deprecated cyan counterpart.
Development should resume soon-ish, I'm still blanking a little bit on where to go from here, but it'll come to me eventually, good to have a framework to work with when I'm inevitably struck with inspiration than having nothing to work with and being cursed with some cool ideas and not having anything you can use for those ideas.
Apologies if this has been a little awkward and personal, it's been a very weird past few weeks, but I think I'm getting back on track now thanks to some very, very nice friends who've been supporting me through the aforementioned weirdness, you all know who you are! teehee
Anyway, the art, you're here for the art, right? not my sap story, these are all three party members, I don't think I've shown Leela publicly yet, so that's all of them, I hope you like my technicolour beings made out of spit and clay and good intentions.
