Acquired Taste Afterword
Thank you so much for following along with this project, it's been a ton of fun and I've really enjoyed the positive responses to it!
While this may be it for the main pages, it's not quite over. I want to include some extra bonus materials like lore, bonus strips / art, and behind-the-scenes stuff, alongside the main story, into a comprehensive PDF book that'll be posted here as an exclusive premium sub version.
While a "Part 2" is not in the plans anywhere I don't plan on abandoning the characters, they'll probably pop up here and there whenever I feel like it (Pai especially), and if planets align you *miiight* find a physical version floating out there at some point..
There's also the question of translations; while I had some interactions during this that turned me off from actively permitting publicly translated pages, I'll try and make a mental note of different approaches that can make translated copies more easily and officially accessible, we'll see!
With that said, I want to update on some future plans:
- Untamed
This is the big one I'd like to try and focus on as a main project going forward, it might be a bit different than what you've seen thus far, but if any of the character concepts appeal to you I hope you'll enjoy what comes of it!
It's a project that is more long form and benefits from bulk releases, so the plan is to work on chapters in the background so it can post fully-formed on the sub. Depending on the complexity (as a one man project) it might take a bit of downtime, but I'll be filling in some other stuff in the meantime too.
- Spin the Bottle 2
I've been too preoccupied with AT and personal stuff to work on this, but the main plans haven't changed - sometime between now and Untamed I will be sketching the remaining pages from the scrapped follow-up, and clean up some of the rougher outlines to make it up to par with the rest. Keep in mind I don't intend on *polishing* this as a full project, but you'll be able to exclusively see what would've been the basis of a sequel.
- Games
Ok now, I know this sounds a bit pie-in-the-sky, but at some point I do want to develop and release some short small-scope games. I've dipped into hobby development during the years and really enjoy the idea of self-publishing something one day. It'd be great if I could share something like that on here. As much as all this sounds to handle, I'll try my best *not* to work myself to the bone and risk my health..
- Other random stuff
As well as all that I'll just do what tickles my inspirations, whether that's a mini comic or an art piece or an animation, we'll just have to see what comes to me. I just want to diversify so I don't feel bored and stuck in a rut.
Thank you once again for your support 💗
