Important Note:
Game development has being paused because of health reasons but I will be finishing the first chapter as soon as I can.
I really like the colors and the lightings of your backgrounds. (nod)
Good luck with the development!
Thanks for the support
@Rik_Vargard I will do my best. :-D
This looks and sounds phenomenal! The style is lovely, the lighting is impeccable, and the details in every scene are calling out to the cursor!
I like the art! It reminds me of Swedish artists Jan Lööf and Sven Nordqvist in style. Best of luck with the production.
Thanks for the nice comments. I will do my best. ;-D
These backgrounds are generated and not drawn, right?
She kind of reminds me of Scully from the "X Files"

Thanks for the comments.
The reason is that I have health issues and therefore no time to draw them myself. Actually I can do the artwork as you can see from the banner. By the way it is not easy to create the right background image you need.
I had to fight the AI to find the correct images :-D .
Thank you all for your support.
