Hello everyone, happy December!
It's crazy that 2025 is coming to a close already... or maybe it's more accurate to say that 2025 was a pretty long year 馃槗 I hope that regardless of how your year went, you all have an enjoyable holiday season (hopefully full of cheer and relaxation!)
Last month was a big writing month for me, as I participated in NanoWriMo - but with visual novel writing, of course. To be honest I stopped tracking my word count partway through, but I think that I got around 70k words done 馃槀 (averaging over 2k words per day, that's my best writing month ever, wow!) Hopefully I'll be able to keep this momentum going through the end of the year as well 馃槉 (I have, so far!)
In addition to that, I finished a couple of sprites. Unfortunately, it was a hectic month for me personally, as quite a few issues came up unexpectedly that I had to deal with 馃槗 so besides the writing I wasn't able to squeeze much in. Hopefully December will end off on a more productive note.
Since it's a holiday month, I don't want to stress too much trying to churn things out. As a result I won't set any big "goals" for the month, though I'll be working steadily on my various tasks, as usual. Since I have a lot of fingers in disparate pots right now, I think I'll try to reorganize myself a bit so that I can start off the new year on a slightly more steady foot.
Like I did last year, in January I'll post an updated roadmap of all of the projects that I've been working on! Last time, I refrained from chatting about everything, since I "wanted to time my announcements" or something, but I think I've realized that I am absolutely terrible at marketing, and organizing, and gosh darn it I just want to talk about what I'm working on, so I think I'll probably talk about everything. It'll be a big mix of things, since I'm really trying to enjoy myself and have fun making games in different genres, with different mechanics, so hopefully it'll be interesting to take a look through, at least!
I hope you all have a good holiday season, and I'll see you again in 2026!

I have the same feelings about the year 馃ゲ and woow you wrote a lot in November, that's really powerful!! After quite some time of not actively being in development, now I'm motivated to go back to writing, drawing and coding again 馃槀馃挭 thank you for inspiring me! Haha I also have no idea how to market, probably talking about them is the way to market after all!
I hope you can have a good end-of-year holiday/break time as well! It's time to prepare to spring back next year, so let's enjoy it! Looking forward to seeing what you will share next year too Cap!! 馃グ
Right 馃槶馃槶馃槶 This has been quite a Year, that's for sure 馃槀 And yes, it was my first time participating in NanoWriMo in earnest, and I was surprised at how motivating it was, I really need to do it every year 馃槀 And OHH I'm really looking forward to seeing what you're planning to cook up!! 馃グ馃グ馃グ
I hope that you have a good holiday, Kona (and I can't see what you're working on for next year as well!) 馃グ
