One of my goals for this year is to be better about posting progress updates, works-in-progress, basically anything. It's a little harder now that most of the progress is happening on the back half of TU's story mode, but I'll try to have more to show.

So what does all this mean? It means I'm not dead. It means Typhoon Unit isn't dead. And after a rough 2025, we take those small victories.

I've also picked up another side-project (just me this time) that I'm working on when I don't feel like drawing. I've been playing a lot of Sonic Adventure 1 lately, and I want to try my hand at something in a similar gameplay style. Not far enough along to share much yet, but yeah.

Since about August I've been slowly chipping away at the story cutscenes. The one for the end of Ch 4 is in especially good shape. At this point I know better than to give a release window, but the game is at least moving forward again.

The time away was important though, because I was able to start making progress on Typhoon Unit again. None of my other problems were being solved, but at least I could do that.

So I took a break from Typhoon Unit for a few months. Recruited a friend and decided to work on a completely different game. It was fun and exciting for a while, but due to conflicts in vision, we never got much past pre-production. It also felt like I was just running from my problems.

So I've been kind of burnt out for... most of last year. The world's not been great. Personal life has been pretty stagnant and lonely. Game dev felt like I was running in place. Working on Typhoon Unit was starting to feel like nothing would ever be good enough.

Hey gang! Happy new year! It's been a little while since I've posted anything relating to me specifically. Should probably give some kind of update.

Typhoon Unit is built around swapping between the trio and using their abilities in combination. If you chain abilities together, you build up Synergy Combo, which grants all of your characters a power boost and scores you way more points!

ABILITY HIGHLIGHT: Temporal Warp (Fia)
Fia, a Celestial Fae, has access to powerful time-stopping magic. While time is stopped, she can pass through all hazards, and even absorb purple bullets! Great for repositioning!

Beware of Maya's siren allure! If you stare too long, you'll fall under her spell. Swap out often and keep up the pressure!

Took more of a break than I'd expected to. Unfortunately got sick immediately after Christmas, which set me back a few days. 😓

Hopefully I can rebuild momentum in a timely manner. I've got still got cutscenes to sketch.
