That doesn’t mean that there was no activity. Nothing could be further from the truth. February has been a real busy month, as it was the final sprint.

A lot happened in the last weeks. We have made a lot of progress in the different departments. Some parts of the story changed drastically.

Comics are a bit different since they are (at least in my opinion) the perfect hybrid between written stories and animated film.

When something is important to me I have no problem to admit it. I’ve got a few tattoos on (or under) my skin – and every single one means a lot to me.
