Hey everyone,
Hope you're all doing well! The team has been heads down and focused on everything from reworking the script to polishing the art and getting things ready to finish end of April 2025. Here's somethings ready to share into what we've been working on lately for Apeiros World. Your support means the world to us, and we're thrilled to share our progress.
Rho & Final Look for Provisioner
First up, we've been making fantastic strides with new character art! We've finalized the design for Rho & The Provisioner, leave a comment on your thoughts below!
Rho is the third member of Ezra's group as they embark on the journey to go after stopping Glyph's plans. Not much is known of her, only that she's a recent "ally" of the two... however, she has some interesting tricks up her sleeve as a master of subterfuge!
Some of the inspiration to her design was MGS (Metal Gear Solid) series among a few other prominent JRPG games.
We're really happy with how these are turning out, and we can't wait for you to see them in the manga!
Environment Concept Art
The world of Apeiros is coming to life with more than just characters! Here's a snippet of some environment focused art, mainly to be used on the new website that's underway. Our concept and environment artists have been hard at work creating some stunning visuals. Creating pieces to represent Apeiros, New Albyion, and other settings within the story of Apeiros World Odyssey.
These visuals are crucial for setting the tone and atmosphere of Apeiros World, and we're confident you'll love them.
Story Progress - Odyssey
The story is progressing steadily and digging deep to make it the best it can be.
I completed a major rewrite of the first act and focused on developing character arcs for key characters.
I spent the past two months doing a significant rewrite-restructuring of two chapters that I felt best would make more sense in a later volume. Alongside adding more characters, concepts, and storytelling components that I felt were needed to make the overall narrative stronger given the limited constraints of what a traditional manga is.
I'm committed to delivering a compelling and engaging narrative, and confident that the story will resonate with you all, so we're still on track to push to completion with the end of April on the art and story for Apeiros World Odyssey.
New Podcast Teaser
As some of you may know, I've been at work behind the scenes on creating a podcast!
My cohost and I have some recordings under our belt and more details will be shared as we finishing wrapping our first season of recordings.
This will be a great way to give you even more behind-the-scenes access to some of the creative input on Apeiros and discover other creatives and their projects. Stay tuned for more details on the podcast's launch!
Thank You
Thank you again for your incredible support. We couldn't do this without you. As the creative work is demanding and having to manage multiple projects, people, and deadlines. There will be minimum updates until the work is completed. So don't be alarmed, we're just busy in the laboratory.
When the time is right there will be plenty of Apeiros content to go around!
I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts from these questions below:
Which character's art are you most excited to see?
What aspects of the story are you most looking forward to?
If you know someone who would love Apeiros World, please share this with everyone:
See ya soon ;)
