Weekly Update #321: Background Progress
Originally, I wanted to share the to-do list for the rest of GENBA no Kizuna‘s first chapter today and talk in detail about what exactly is still missing asset-wise to complete it. Since I’m once again kinda short on time, however, I’ll have to leave you with a short progress update instead, so apologies for …
