I'm still on hiatus, but I wanted to pop back in to update something important. Ish.
The game known as PactPrice, which was formally a working title, is now known from here-on-out as Maiden Gray, unless I make a change to that as well.
Though the game has a lot of pact-related stuff, I think the Maiden Gray title works a lot better plotwise, and it's nicer sounding (to me, anyway.)
I'll go back and retag my posts under that tag. Thanks for joining in.

Hiatus of the Greatest
I'll be taking a short break (well, I hope it's short) from all my projects for a while, as I'm unable to do any digital artwork, since my tablet is basically dead.
Until I can magically conjure up the money to get another, I'll be out like a lamp for god knows how long.
Though I'll still be working on the writing bits, mind you, don't need no tablet for that, so that'll be chipped away at.
I thought about putting up a donation pool or something, but I don't actually have a Paypal or a means to get one, nor do I think many people even know about this blog/ my projects. I'm unemployed right now, so things aren't exactly the best financially.
Anyway, I'll be back when I'm off. Until then.

09/05 - Maiden Gray Concept Art, Sword Update
I decided to redo Mila's sword, since it seemed a little bit clunky, and because I'm not entirely sure she could wield it properly.
The new sword retains a similar handle scheme, but the blade itself is a lot more refined. It's not as "buster sword" styled as the old one.
I made a quick mock-up in Blender as a proper reference, since weapon sketching isn't my strong point:
The sword as it is now has a lot more depth and thought to it. I might UV texture it later on, but I'm terrible with UV maps.
Mila is meant to carry a larger-than-normal sword with her, it's her "thing", you might say, but she's still a woman and she does have her limits. She's not overly muscular, so we're stretching it right now, but I like to think that her Pact gives her extra strength as well. I might add something to her design so that she has a sheathe on her back, or something to that extent.

Sword on it's side, not refined; the blade bit is really rough and blocky.

05/05 - Maiden Gray Concept Art
Another bit of art of another dateable boy and part of your squad, Xodus.
Like I mentioned in another post, Xodus has breathing problems and skin problems so he wears the mask pretty much 24/7. I do adore Xodus's design a lot so far, but my only issue with him is that people might look at him and think that he's a rip off of Clear from DMMD because of the mask. Certainly, the mask might play a part, but I can honestly guarantee that he's genuinely fucked up under that mask.

29/04 - Maiden Gray Concept Art
A bit of Nathaniel art today. It's the quick'n'dirty sketch'n'color version. To be refined.
As well, I wanted to talk a bit about game music, particularly OP/ED themes. I'd love to have a personalized OP/ED for the game, but I'm not a jack of all trades in that regard. I'm tone deaf and can't read music. Therefore I'd have to get someone else to compose for me. I was thinking that eventually I'd shell out the money to get someone to write and record a song in maybe Italian. That will come eventually, I guess. No need to worry about it now, but it's nice to think about.

25/04 - Maiden Gray Concept Talk, Character Introductions (?)
I'm still chipping away at getting a solid piece of presentable art out for each of the guys, but I have them planned out and whatnot anyway.
The Ghost Operatives consists of five people. There's Mila, the captain of the squad, also known as codename Hawk. You've already met Mila, not much more to say here.
Second in command is the man known as Spike, codename Blackbear. He's a muscular man who fights with his fists and surprisingly enough, his words - he's the team negotiator and is known for his charisma. His pact partner takes over his left arm, beefing up his attacks. Hardly ever wears a shirt.
The team techie is Nathaniel, codename Tarantula. He gave up his external hearing for the ability to process data quicker. Quite simply put, he's got no ears. Therefore, he relies on a pair of special microphones implanted in either side of his head that look like headphones to pick up on words and sounds. An insomniac and a genius, he's formal and hardly ever refers to anyone by their real name.
Riveria, codename Viper, is the sniper - his aim is never off. He's somewhat effeminate. His personality is polite and gentle. Not even the members of G.O know what he sacrificed for his pact, as it isn't shown, and as he's very secretive about his abilities.
Finally, there's Xodus, or codename Wolf. He's a jack of all trades, but likes to use assault rifles to back other members up. He also tinkers with explosives. Xodus wears a gasmask at all times, claiming that "the pact made me ugly" and also because he has problems breathing normal air. He's the most relaxed and funloving out of the group.
Those are the four main options for romantic interest. It's hard giving a brief description without ruining their own little secrets or showing you their appearance.
Even though these are the main four, I'll state again that there are five routes total. Route number five is the true route, and I will not spoil any more on it. It's up for debate what happens in route five.

22/04 - Maiden Gray Concept Art
Two posts today, oh wow.
Today's concept art is a pair of doctors in the Capital (the largest city in the country), Dr. Zen and Dr. Nil.
They're minor characters who work closely with the government, and as far as anyone knows, the only people who know how to reverse the Pact making process.
