@888myrrh888 We buy lots of fresh mushrooms when they are at a good price and dehydrate them. I like to grind them into powder for mixing into soups, stews, and seasonings.

@888myrrh888 I don't know if you've ever tried Krita, but I've been pleasantly surprised by it. I originally started using it because it's free, and it's handled layered PSDs really well. It might be worth a look if you're exploring alternatives.

Development has continued steadily across the project.

Our base character art is now complete, production on additional character assets is underway, and our composer continues to explore new musical themes for AHEA.

It's encouraging to see more of the project coming together.

[Ryan Muir @AHEAStudio]

Development continues to move forward across the project.

Character production is underway, programming foundations continue to grow, and it's exciting to see more of AHEA becoming something we can eventually share.

[Ryan Muir @AHEAStudio]

Character production is now actively underway, and we're very pleased with the direction it's taking.

It's exciting to see the cast beginning to take shape.

Progress has continued across the project: the first script draft is complete, programming foundations are underway in Ren’Py, and we’re commissioning internal style reference work to help define the visual direction. A couple of promising background directions are also emerging.

@kungchipark_ What part do you enjoy the most? Animation? Modelling? Back when I was in school, I really like the animation side of it.

[Ryan Muir @AHEAStudio]

A lot has been moving quietly behind the scenes. The first script draft is complete, programming foundations are underway in Ren’Py, and we’re commissioning internal style reference work to help define the project’s visual direction. The background art search continues.

[Ryan Muir @AHEAStudio]

An early script draft is nearly finished, programming foundations are coming together, and both character art and music continue to explore the project’s future style, while the background art search continues.

[Ryan Muir @AHEAStudio]

It’s encouraging to see early production taking shape. Music sketches are coming in, programming questions are being actively resolved, and character art exploration is well underway.

[Ryan Muir @AHEAStudio]

We’re excited to be taking the first concrete steps into production.

It’s encouraging to see things begin to move.

[Ryan Muir @AHEAStudio]

We are here because we couldn’t find enough stories that treat commitment with patience and respect.

Our priority is sustainable production, not rushing to release.

Background art is important in narrative pacing and mood, which is why we’re being deliberate about this role.

[Ryan Muir @AHEAStudio]

Background search continues, but production’s moving forward regardless.
Using placeholder environments for now so writing and builds don’t stall.
Always open to seeing strong interior / environment portfolios 👀

@mlygose Really lovely work! Your lighting and composition are excellent. Not quite the style we’re currently looking for, but genuinely impressive craftsmanship.

[Ryan Muir @AHEAStudio]

Indie dev reality: setting up contracts, folders, and Discord permissions takes longer than writing the story 😅

[Ryan Muir @AHEAStudio]

Looking to connect with a 2D character artist AND a background artist for a wholesome, episodic Ren’Py visual novel.
Composer & programmer confirmed.
Pilot phase, small scope, no crunch.
DMs open.
