As the title says, happy new year!! It's almost 2 years of me posting stories for others to read (read: visual novel games) here :O Let's reach even higher this year!! (or at the very least, stay sane) I didn't know I can make standalone blog posts but I think it won't get into people's mails so I don't know. But I'll write anyway

So, since I'm a self-proclaimed casual, just like 2023, I don't really have any concrete plans for what I want to make this year, although I do want to contribute more on someone else's projects and do less time-constrained jams (or maybe even tone down that jam tendency completely?)
I do have some ideas I wanted to work on though so I'll probably let you know when the time comes—or get a real glimpse here on my FANBOX for the cheapest price of 100 yen a month! It's less than a dollar.
I started one recently because turned out I do enjoy writing and talking about what I'm doing while not having a proper outlet for it—no one wanted to hear me crying from not being able to write some things I don't usually write, but I would also feel bad if somerandom person were to witness me crying over myself—so I treat it more of a secret blog than a dedicated place for me to give [redacted] content. I might put out [redacted] content when you least expect it though.

I might or might not also pick on some leftovers from previous years, but the scheduling might be uncertain so all you can hear is me talking on the secret blog again if that ever happens:

• Rebooting Souma's story. It was the first VN I wrote in my dev shenanigan that didn't have beta read and was done for a crunch jam and I've always loved the concept, so I really want to visit them again.
• Show what at the Cost of You truly costed me. There's only little writing needs to be done, but a lot of the things I'm yet to mentally get over with was actually the visual side of it. (tl;dr I had fat ideals and betrayed myself)
• Translate the pokige to English. It's not in the priority since it really is a shitpost, but—God why do some people actually had their eyes on this shitpost. Now I had to eat my words.

Okay also what the hell I linked to some places and now they appear on the sides of this post

On the less relevant talk about my games, uh, I might start a Twitter just for game and original creation stuff but I'm not sure if I will have the energy or even see anyone.

Anyway, uh, did you know I haven't read any comments on my games since September? I really should look at it now, but that also shows how much of an easily anxious person I am. I've got to work on that side of me somehow but eh this feels easier said than done already

Have a fun new year.
