Aster and the Fire

Welcome to the AATF Chapter 2 Q and A! This time around, readers had some questions for Aster, Rakhi, and Ibis. Enjoy…and try not to be too scandalized, lol.

Hey y’all, just popping in to let y’all know how things are going on my end. Development for Chapter 3 is progressing smoothly. I got some helpful critique to focus more on layouts and background composition from Jacki, another fellow SpiderForest member and creator of the excellent webcomic Kings of Sorts. So I’ve been working on developing the city of Addar, Miya, and several other key locations for this chapter! I’ve also been making some new character designs and really honing in the car designs for this chapter (which will be important for special reasons TM). I’m going to start making pages for Prologue III and Chapter 3 proper soon, once I nail down the outline for this chapter.You can see all the development work on the AATF Discord, open to all by invite!!!

Unfortunately, I can’t give an exact estimate for a start date beyond April, as my day job has recently been threatened with layoffs due to the RIF (reduction in force) orders by federal agencies. I have no idea if or when it will actually happen, but I’ve been looking for another job at the moment just in case. Though there’s many other recently laid off people from the federal workforce that it’s gonna be super tough to find a position now lol :,) I’m pretty frustrated ngl, took me months to find a job and then three months in it’s all going to shit. Suffice it to say I’m tired boss!!!

…Anyways it might be a bit before I can start posting Chapter 3. Thanks for your patience during this roller coaster ride.
