Start of November '21 Update

Sup everyone! Hope you all had a good halloween!

Just wanted to make a status update on everything to keep everyone in the loop on what I'm doing for Songs we Sing:

In October:
As far as things done in October, it was a bit of a slower month for progress since I spent the first part of October recovering from my sprint to get the demotape out. Middle of October had me focusing on commissions due to some bill junk, and end of October I was split between some halloween prep and trying to get a one-page game out for a jam, which didn't happen before halloween like I wanted but I still have time for the jam itself and I'd love to see it through!

A lot of actual progress has been writing a few bestiary entries, doing minor edits to the base document, and learning some programs better to execute on some ideas. The programs I'm learning are: Affinity Publisher for better looking layouts, and Crocotile 3D for some ideas I had about posing some isometric pixel sprites on 3D backgrounds for the book so it's like seeing glimpses of a PS1/PS2 era tactics game.

Like so:

Not totally happy with the results but I'm jazzed about the progress on it!

I would like to take a moment though to acknowledge how well the demotape's been going! As of now the main book has been downloaded 338 times! And the page has 1528 views!

Thank you to anyone who's shown SwS around to their friends, and thank you to anyone who's checked it out! The feedback has been really invigorating!

For November:
Overall the goals for this month remain the same which is:
-clean up and tighten up SwS Demotape further
-Add content to the demotape where I can release a new version of it
-Try and make further progress on a better layout using proper publishing software.

Challenges I see are that I'm needing to house hunt and find a new place to stay come the end of the year by January 1st, so that might take up a good chunk of my attention.

Thanks for your support!
