Project Theta (RPG devlog) Chapter Five: Art is Fun...

Hello fellow humans,

• Rambling

Welcome back to the beautiful section that I call rambling. If you want the update it's below this section but why go to the update when you could have years of enjoyment just from this section of dry humor? Now, for all of you who didn't flee at the idea of me trying to be funny, here's the rambling section! So what will I talk about today? I'm going to talk about tea. Tea is...well a blessing and a curse? Well that isn't right. Caffeine is a blessing and a curse. Tea is simply the messenger between the caffeine and my ever so sleep deprived mind. So why tea? Well, besides the fact that I've had more cups of tea in the last month than games Joel Embiid has played healthy in, I believe that tea is the best drink in the world. Coffee is great when necessary but tea tastes so much better. So I say all of this to say, fellow game developers and gamers; drink tea. It's calming while also letting you crunch for the next 6 hours, not that I speak from experience or anything. That's it for rambling today. Next time, more dry humor. Enjoy this random update in the meantime.

• Art Is Fun

Well I guess this qualifies as a big announcement. I finished all the art. Did you believe me? Haha you made one of the classic blunders my friend. In reality I have made all the art I think I need but we all know I'll need more later. So yeah, we'll see how much I have to do but I made sure to leave time to make new art as it becomes necessary. Anyway, if you want to see the art I've made thus far it's down below. I think that in general I should be set to make music for this game and maybe start doing some of the fun programming stuff soon. In general I have to give a lot of credit to the phrase for which this section is called. Art Is Fun. I told myself this while pacing to convince myself to continue. I have made it this far and hope to get farther when it comes to music. I can't stress how much this phrase helped me. I value artists even more and am amazed at their ability to make amazing paintings, murals, etc. I have to thank all of the people who create free assets. You guys art amazing both pixel art and music.

• So What's Next?

I'm starting music now! Hahahaha. Yeah It's going to be...interesting. I will likely be requesting some feedback so be ready to have bleeding ears. Also if you have feedback for the art be sure to comment or add a suggestion in the discord. Anyway, so yeah I'm going to have fun with music and sfx so we'll see how that goes.
