Hello! Thank you all so much for the love and support that you've been giving August Ends. 

I'm happy to say that the game has reached 100+ downloads, which was a lot faster and, frankly, a lot more than I expected. I am incredibly grateful for all the feedback, kind words, and even donations that people have been leaving and I really don't feel like I can express that enough. August Ends was a story that I came up with back in November last year for the purpose of making my first game. I've grown very attached to it over months of development so it really does mean the world to me that other people are enjoying it as well.

THERE ARE SPOILERS BELOW so please be warned if you haven't played the game!

These are a few concept sketches that I did in the early days of character design.

I'm not going to provide very much commentary, but this was the first proper iteration of Cedie's design. Not much has changed since then aside from the volume of her hair. The leather jacket is a key accessory, but I don't actually draw it that often.

Something cute to round it all off. I should say somewhere that Cedie and Marcel are very close friends and nothing else, but they would have been together forever had everything gone right.

I'll likely post more (and more recent) art of these characters on my social media in the future, if you're interested!

In the end, it's still hard for me to find the right words to say how truly honoured I am to have received such a kind response to a story and characters that are close to my heart. Thank you again for your interest in August Ends, and I hope to be back with another project!
