#release #allthatprobablyglitters #visualnovel
Yes, a new game. It's been three games since my last devlog with this one being the largest one of them, so ciao and happy happiest spooky month!!!
I have quite a few things to announce today, so here's a list of what I'll be covering:
* This game (All That (Probably) Glitters) of course???
* Acquiesce progress... eheh. But some art while you wait!
* Cake Mix!!!
* Excello
* Steam release and achievements (since people like those)
* Additional glitter artwork never posted on itch.io before and a GIGANTIC THANK YOU FOR 100 FOLLOWERS!!!
... And now... The game I really want to change the itch.io thumbnail for...
What if I tried to make a game with 200% of my effort, full-time, in a single month?
That's a motivation called the Spooktober Visual Novel Jam. I kind of regret spending so much time on it, but I omg I love how it turned out you don't understand
So... I hope you will/did too :3
Let's see... Inspirations for this game? Well, I always noticed trends with games/stories being INSIDE the Halloween party and something spooky happens/it's a dating sim. But what if-- haha-- you could do those things outside the party too?!?! Spoiler, I don't know what I'm saying.
That wasn't actually the inspiration, I swear.
This game's main focus isn't that--
And before I go talk about my other games, any donations are super extremely appreciated!!! In fact, this game might become a paid game anyway because of how long I worked on it (full-time, 140+ hours, under a month)...
If not, then a rating with a comment and/or feedback is also appreciated!!! They motivate me and help me make more games ~
(If I get enough motivation, I might even update this game with an extra scene...)
Did you notice that the background of the game page is an animated GIF I worked way too long on?
Yeah, neither did my testers.

is going a bit... Hmmmmmm.
Let's say that it's a lot slower than the other two games, and I mean a LOT. Honestly, it's because I'm mainly relaxing and continuing to enjoy life as we all deserve (or stressing about school)!! You see, with PUQFFAL!!! and Myx's Bittersweet Musings, I had a time crunch and I was putting the games' development before myself.
Also, I really want to make Acquiesce better than MBM and PUQFFAL!!!, but until that point where it's better IMO, there won't be a game at all.
As for more news, the beginning of Sweetly Sweetened Sweets (play at your own risk), the demo of Acquiesce, is going to change a little! Or a lot! You might not notice the difference, or maybe you will.
I want to write more things again where I did and didn't have a care in the world about perfection.
So... Here are more promo-chis while you wait!! I have a keychain of one of these guys on my backpack I made with resin. If you want one too, consider liking this devlog maybe 👀:
uwu
I tried RPGMaker and LOVED IT. It was so easy to learn (not sure if I'm lying to myself there) and I was able to make a game in a week. I kind of liked making it more than visual novels... Once I got the hang of it.
If you wanted more MBM shenanigans, I think you'll like it, hehe.
-- is in less than two weeks. <- I wrote this a long time ago LOL
I suggest playing it before playing All That (Probably) Glitters if you care about timeline consistency... But it works just as well the other way around. Or not at all :D
It was made in under a week with the constraint of being less than 1,000 words long. I could also only use one of any sprite, background, sound effect, music, etc.
It's official!
...
That's all. I don't have a page yet. I can't figure out what it's going to be called, but there are going to be plenty of delicious achievements.
I'll make another announcement once the page is up!
Huh, at least a hundred of you guys decided to click/tap the follow button... Thank you so so SOOOOOOOOOOO much from the bottom of my heart for being interested in the games/stories/characters, or me myself ;)
Just kidding!
Maybe.
And to those of you who also took the time to give feedback/donate, a triple thank you to you 💚
I know where you live now.
Just kidding!
Caption: You may have seen this glitter art before, but here it is again... Collaged and compressed!
These guys are from PUQFFAL!!! after 7 years.
Thank you again for your support <3
