Rubble and Rust - Part 1
A downloadable visual novel

So this isn't to say that I'm slacking with Rubble and Rust but actually the opposite.

 I have a solid first pass of the entire story but am preparing to share part one. 

Part one is about an hours worth of reading anyway, so that should be enough for people's short attention spans.

The new Renpy has a massive bug. My programmer dad helped me all day and then we realised it was the new renpy causing the issue I had! I'm still annoyed because I went back to the older version and the 'choices' option is still stuck on NVL mode for that. 

Sigh. All these little fiddly last minute things.

All those stupid features like the scrapbook and chapters I took out because they were distracting and buggy. Atleast I got to know renpy, but I want to focus on crafting a good story.

I don't know exactly when I'll publish part one. I shared my first mini visual novel ever as a warmup, to just break my fear of sharing. and it did help break it.  Now I see the value in sharing and getting it out there so people can read. Even if it's really scary.

Since I posted that other garbage, now I don't really want to share Rubble and Rust for a few more months, Ahhhh I dunno. 

I don't want to be too precious. It's just part one of a story nobody will wanna read. Stresso.

I'm self conscious that my writing is dodderly, slow and bad. I am an amateur writer and have had to do the visuals and whatnot too.  So I am trying to be kind and just say I'm doing it because I love it. It's still hard because I can tell this isn't as flashy as some games can be.

 It's about reading and the photography atmosphere and I may not have much music because nobody has reached out to me. It might just be what it is, and Ill attach a playlist for people to listen to while reading lol.

Please follow the page, It's in progress ~~~I'll be so happy!!~~~.

Anyways, I better go. Watch that Renpy bug.
