I hope so, too, but I'm very excited to get back into the swing of things!  

Aaaaa, I'm so sorry for the late reply!! I've been dealing with some health issues on-and-off recently, and my job has been taking up most of my time, but I'm finally getting back around to working on the script! The game's decision tree has received a slight update, so it's a lot longer now that originally planned, but I think it will allow for more varied character moments. 🥰

Bro, I'm SICK of AI... I'm so sorry to hear it messed up your code, but it's so exciting to hear day 1 is almost done!

Thank you!

I agree! I've found some really helpful information on there (and code I've used for some of my other projects hehe). I just worry that the scope I have envisioned for the game may be a bit... too much for a solo developer. 😅 Though, I did recently play Scarlet Hollow, and knowing that particular VN was practically made by a team of just two people has given me the hope that, perhaps, I can do this. Lol

I ordered some books on coding and the like recently, so I'm hoping to improve my skills in that regard!! I have a lot of ideas in mind for this game, but now I have to focus on figuring out how to actually implement them. 😅

Thank youuu!!! I've been working hard on refining the character designs recently. 💪🏻😤

Working in grayscale is a smart move, though!! I think it makes the process a lot easier since you have the values and you can add the color at a later point (color is the bane of my existence lol). 

I love the environment design!! There's nothing quite like making progress on a project you're passionate about, too; it's such a wonderful feeling! <3

I'm super excited to see what this update has in store for us!! (≧▽≦)

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF THE SUPPORT YOU'VE SHOWN ME!!! Hopefully I'll be able to finish all of the games within a somewhat reasonable amount of time. 😂 I was like, "well, I only have three stories I want to make into VNs, so I might as well just post something about all of them now." Lmao

This one is more "traditional" horror-focused than my other one, with an emphasis on blood/gore/violence/etc... I've been practicing body horror on and off for about a year now, and it was all practice for this particular story. 😎

Oh, geez... that is a lot of work. 😭 I wish you all the best in this endeavor. 💪🏻

Thank you!! I'm a sucker for mixed-media games. 🤭

Oh, I feel that... on the plus side, though, it looks awesome!! The visuals are going to be on point. 👌🏻

The rendering on the character's hair looks soooo good!

I usually worked on it for 30-40 minutes every night for two months! I wanted the sprites to have a traditional-art feel to them, so I didn't worry about making them clean or polished/made their color schemes monochromatic to lessen the stress of color picking. For the backgrounds, I used photographs I took on my phone and slapped them in a photo art effect app (I didn't want to draw backgrounds lmao). Though, I was only able to complete 2 of the 5 routes, so it's my goal to finish the rest after this semester is over. 😤

THANK YOUUU!!! This was the visual novel I worked on for my thesis! Each of the characters is based on the DSM-5 criteria of MDD, and the MC's relationship with each character mirrors my own experiences/thoughts regarding that particular symptom! Since this is a smaller-scale project, and I'm hoping to finish writing it after I graduate, I thought I would go ahead and share it now hehe!

I saw your page on TikTok, and I loved being able to see your process/progress with your visual novel. When I saw that, I thought "wow - that's such a smart idea! I'd love to do that, too!!", so I'm going to start using my TikTok a bit more now!

AAAAHH, thank you!!! I think I'm going to start making some TikToks here and there as well to see if that helps promote the game a little bit! Your page has inspired me. 😌

I didn't know about that difference with degrees, so that's really neat!! Thank you for sharing and for the kind words! I wish you luck in your studies as well. 🫡

I'm supposed to graduate in December with my Master's, so hopefully after that, I can get a less-stressful job in my field. My current job, as much as I love it, just isn't for me. 🥲

Thank you, thank you!!! Hopefully, after I'm finished with college-related work, I'll have more time to pour into getting the first chapter/demo out. I'm making progress, though, slowly but surely. 💪🏻

AAAAA - thank you!! I'm excited to show off everything I have planned for the game in the demo/first chapter. 🥰
