Might be doing monthly progress reports at the end of each month but that's beside the main point.

Hello all! I've been working tirelessly on 0.6. which certainly has been one of the most difficult builds to put out, primarily because of artwork or more specifically, artwork containing ferals. In this process I've come to the realization that... The ferals just aren't that well designed. I very much regret not going over the feral designs extensively in the beginning because now, I've already redesigned them once and that carried with it a massive art shift and now, looking at them still, I fear they may need another, far more dedicated redesign to really get them to look just right.

But I've already done so many redesigns and redos and with each build that comes out, these redesigns become even larger in scale. But on the other side, I'm simply not satisfied with some of the artistic choices I made. I certainly feel as though I rushed out some of the designs and I'm paying for it gravely. 

To be honest, I'm really not sure what to do. 0.6. is entirely written out and I could easily add all the necessary music and sound effects with placeholder images. It's just the artwork is taking such a massive amount of time and I'm faced with the desire to redesign once again because some of the shots require looking at ferals from behind or in certain positions that I clearly didn't think of when making their designs. Maybe I could hire an artist for help here but I don't really know any off the top of my head that's good with mecha designs. If you know of a person who's open for consultation at least, please let me know.

I don't want to keep 0.6. in another long hiatus so I'm thinking of brute forcing through the art with sketches just to get them there for the Patreon release before taking a bit longer than usual for polishing on the public release.

Anyways, please tell me if you know of someone who is good with mecha design who I can consult or potentially even commission for help. Shoot me a DM where I can provide my Discord or we can just talk there.

Thanks for understanding and I hope this issue is resolved soon.
