Sun May 17 – (1:35pm – 10:25pm)– Added- Congo Jongo, Start , Start-Intro; Main Menu, 1st Draft script/story. To Html game template. *

once I input the outline of the ten main pages- it will organize the main visuals, audio. Working from flowchart, to art script audio, and back and forth. Should produce a good presentation; that I can later prepare, and improve, if need be, for the Renpy version. To get this accomplished ( I will try not to type the Word, as much, and instead, work directly on the links to the flowchart, and story: adding documents to the Draft Story Script Menu.) I imagine this could be set up in a week to 3 weeks – and finally have a structure for a first game- and definitive 1st graphic novel; if I pause the traditional weekly packs. At any point that I complete this, I can resume weekly packs. I have the content, but not the time to do all of it simultaneously.

*[ I got alot of quality studies done in the studio, by going to bed early].

Sat April 18 ( 7:09pm) – Audio clips – Excerpts, April 2,3,6 *

*( Riffs/Melodies: Biresan vessel through Bnthosforamen, Dance of the Dullahan, Elegy (ptI. Unexpected, Pt II. Rift, Pt. III Bereft) , Crepusculoids, Forest Cabin of the Estranged Witch, Aravek early take 1 track)

Fri April 17 (10:44pm) – I scanned ( after photographing interior: For 2 Pre-Code horror comics. And Two Eerie Magazines, 50 pages each. )Uploaded hi-res Scan Terror Tales May 1969 *. Recorded (a faster paced soundtrack than the previous 3)– a Battle march; part of a three piece: Midnight of the Crepusculoids, Dance of the Dullahans and March of the Umbreed . Part way through a reproduction study of a key supporting cast. **

** ( sounds like the keyboard tracks are improving – hopefully, by the time the game is ready, I might have decent soundtracks, that enhance the ambiance of the art/ visual novel scenes; and lyrics , for voice actresses to sing.)

* [ And several other hard to come by, pre-code horror: good references inside the book; panels. A tribute to Rulah! – as Kolah. The over the top gore, reminds me of Garbage Pail kids art – from the 80’s. I really like the look of the Eerie magazine art, covers, and pages. ]

Tues April 14, 2020 -(6:56 pm – 9:21pm) All the latest drawings straight from my Studio posted in Week 1 April Gallery *

This will gain time, for better artwork – embellishing. The only way possible to get a comic and a video game developed, at the pace I can make it ( is to reduce the redundant ’embellishing’: ie, website, thumbnails, connecting large scans, editing text, and images that are WIP- the 6 – 20 hours ( 2 days of studio time minimum) I have devoted to making the Weekly posts, embellished, – feels like facebook – spending alot of time, arranging a scrapbook, that becomes a task in and of itself. But, to discerning viewers, that isn’t the goal. A completed inked, colored comic or painting of quality, can be simply posted to one page. And that time spent making web design, can go to painting, drawing, or making a video game, animation ect.

(1:47pm- 3:23pm)

Plan to add to a section each day 6 days a week* (approx). (ie: Day 1: Atelier, Day 2: Apocrypha. Day 3: Gallery Day 4: Composition, Day 5: Vintage(misc/ alternately 6th scale, video game animations, videos, soundtracks) Day 6: Composition (rough layouts, animation frames)

I get more progress in the studio, when I work on art daily (for most of the day) *

New Schedule, to get New Comic completed! ( see Word, April 1)
