As you can see from the title, I’ve primarily returned to script work this past week. With the BG art for the backyard done now, I can finally finish up the investigation segment for it, so that’s one part I’ve spent a lot of time on: thinking up and writing the background examination comments and …

As mentioned in last week’s blog post, I’ve spent last Sunday fully dedicated to background art again and did, in fact, finally finish up both backyard BGs along with all of their variations! With this, almost all the BG art for GENBA no Kizuna is done! There is only one more location I gotta work …

Alright, so there’s your first look at the backyard of the Kaseki residence! It’s not 100% done yet, as I still need to fix the lighting conditions, but other than that, nothing else will change. By tomorrow evening, I’m planning to have both backyard BGs, including their variations (the investigation is supposed to take place …
