Episode XV is on its way, as I've completed the initial script of the latest chapter. It's been a while since the release of the last Episode to get to this point, but a lot was going on in the BA World.
Scrambling to finish the last issue before the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, I now had to catch up on the work I had delayed in doing so — Patreon illustrations, "real life" work, day-to-day BA Studios red tape and paperwork (ah, the "joys" (not!) of the self-employed). Then came the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, a full 4-day weekend of family, followed by another family 4-day getaway the next weekend. However, a 5-day cold between these weekends had sucked out my strength and creativity when I could have been working.
Finally, back on track, I sat down to write the script. It was a hard one at first. While I knew the basic ideas that I wanted to happen, the "flow" wasn't coming so easy. I resorted to bullet points, hitting key scenes. I changed them. Reordered them. Scrapped half of them. Then refined them. That missing "something" suddenly started to appear, giving the story that cohesiveness it needed.
Next week, I will build out the new 3D background that most of this chapter will take place in. Then, I will be storyboarding the script (and refining the script as I do so). When this is done, it's on to the art! (*Note: next week I will be away from my desk about one and a half days for some prior obligations.)
Get ready to hop on board the ride to the release of the newest Episode!
