Quick bump from the weekend - not often I get a chance to talk about projects while their in production, so this was a nice opportunity to pop my head out of photoshop for a spell to chat with @studioanisa.bsky.social about Turnbound a little!
As promised- the first dev log, now in video format! 📽️
Join Anisa and Matthew from the team as they talk about Monkey King and his character design!
