here's a concept of the bunny maid, it took all day.
I did try an ai modified version. There's definitely consistency limitations for me.

I might be old-fashioned, but I like the hand-drawn version more...

Edit: looking more closely, the AI seems to lose some little details here and there

Heyy, formerly NMMMN here. I've officially rebranded under the name Sentinel Sparrow, my artist/dev identity moving forward. Why the change? Because I want to create with more freedom — to be fully myself, without the pressure of being seen as an official studio.


Your support fuels the journey — and the journey is still focused on bringing Heart of the Tower to life with everything I've got.


The final game will be published under Stellar North Games, but here? You’re supporting me — the artist behind the fire.



Don’t worry —I’m still the indecisive lovable mess you patiently guide with good reasoning. ;)

Absotutely! Still working on my asset workflow. I've been gauging how long it takes and its looking to be about 1 week for a character animated in one pose. Also looking at game systems that i can make upfront to then leverage to allow for more focuse on monthly content dev cycle (boobs animated / levels / etc).

The intro scene is drafted! :cool:
Guess im writing a book rn lol. Not sure if i should post it on patreon, maybe post monthly chapters or something.


I have the end goal / scene planed out.
I need to figure out the 8 goddesses arcs =.=" im thinking of a narrative loop that i can re-use for them, but also like the progress of just doing it writing and figuring it out but then it might not flow, character missalignment or plot holes and so on /=.="

im still gunning for the 0.0.1 proto demo lol, once i have the story arc and characters figured out, i can then do a full character concept to pose to animation then can do the facial animation gesture system. And the intro sequence will take a bit to animate, though im trying to make the writing speak more than the visuals can give (to save time animating and bc my art style is kinda lacking so far).

I really wanted to hit a demo for Steam Next fest June 1st have the page setup. Apparently its good to have it done 2 weeks before, so 1 week for approval and 1 week for early press access. Spoiler i'll be lucky if i have the main story arc figured out.

luckily i can start saving on my mint tea now that my gardens growing ^ ^;;

I'm actually 3/4th done the intro ^ ^; few things left to change.
My focus shifted to researching AI workflows, AI copyright and testing image to video AI that's p cool.

new version of my bunny goddess. still not good enough for me, not my style.
masterdebating workflow o_O, might do 3D or stick with my 2D workflow

FramePack has nice dynamic movement. The problems are its hard to get the desired movement of everything, fast movement causes pixellation. I might just make 2D puppet rigs in unity, maybe using framepack clips as ref pose... :unsure:
