Sorry for the radio silence for a while, folks. Been having some declining health recently. I'll get back to everything soon, but I'm taking things a bit slower than usual. #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

I forgot how long it took to make a video, and got burnt out. But episode 2 is finally here! youtu.be/BqmLTCnjHa0 #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

It has been a few years since the Tutorial level has had an update. What a change! I especially love how the reading nook turned out. #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

I've had tea bags in my game's database for years now. Finally...you can brew tea. This will be separate from normal cooking recipes. As of right now, you can only brew from kettles in Pavilion Leaves, a tea shop. #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Episode 1 is out! youtu.be/RoLP4poNThI #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Starting a new video series (and new channel), take a look! youtu.be/xap46xiyhmE?... #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Remade a VERY old draft map from back in the day. Just remember, a little lighting and shading can change the way your map feels. It isn't just the tileset that matters! #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Working on fixing the old HUD for the Invaders-style minigame! So far, a major improvement to the previous version. #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Hey, 2026! I'm back! Sorry for the hiatus, I had to take a break. Remember, breaks are important, and ALLOWING yourself a break is even more important. That being said, here's your first screenshot of the year! #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

As a bonus, here's my favorite assets I've made for the game from 2025. Some are simple frankensteining together or edits of RTP, others are completely from scratch. Happy 2025! #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

A message from myself, as well as a progress report of the game, to close off 2025. I'm sorry I wasn't able to get a demo out before the end of the year. We'll be pushing strong for progress in 2026! #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Originally, I was aiming for a Christmas release of a new demo for Crystal Fragments. However, there's still so much more to be done and tested. I'm going to need a little more time. New Years Eve is the new date to look out for!

The names of each chest type are finalized! #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

If it seems I've been a bit quiet about the behind-the-scenes stuff, its because I've been hard at work on a big update. I've been tirelessly replaying portions of the game, fixing as much as I can as I play through. #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

A new shop is opening in Carrasco soon. Also, sneak peak at an update to the time window...complete with current weather icon! #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Grandma has FINALLY been updated! She now has a face graphic and her sprite has been updated to reflect the art. Lots of updates being done in the background, like the OoB fix and finalizing a slew of cutscenes. #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Finally updated the Card Import menu! Friend cards are from other players, Special and Secret, well...I'll explain those another time. #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

For Tournaments, you'll eventually unlock the ability to change your main party to different groups! This will include guest characters as well as NPCs. #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

- Fixed line issues, now all lines show perfectly! - Added arrows (temp. icons) to show map scrolls. - Outer border adjusted. - Added map padding on edges. #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Ladies and gentlemen...we finally have a MAP! It accurately shows save points and map transfers by use of event comments, and the player by an (x,y) coordinate. I finally did it! #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Finally getting to a feature that's been planned for a few years now. #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

I've been focused on improving the map and the lighting/shading. I think I'm at a comfortable place, finally! #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Slowly reworking an old room. Almost done! #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

New message box for texts! Currently there's no menu to reread texts...but texts are now being worked on to help with making sure certain quests move along more naturally. I may rework "Mail" to hold emails and texts together later on. #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

An optional, experimental feature will be added to the game involving gradient text for base text! It will be disabled by default, but players who wish to try it can find it in the settings menu. #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Hello darkness, my old friend. (Also hello everyone! I'm back, sorry it has taken so long! We should be moving forward swimmingly from here on.) #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Experimenting with an animation for treasure chests, instead of just using the basic RPG Maker animation. Left: Old Right: New What do you think? And for other RPG Maker devs, how do you make your own treasure chests? #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

New dessert truck has shown up in Otnemarcas! Bonus: the rough sketch I drew at work to plan out the truck. I try to sketch out most assets before making them on the computer. Expect a new shop soon! #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Every shop has a different menu theme. You heard that right, EVERY shop! Which of these do you like the most? (everything's still WIP) #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Alright, need your help, gamers and game devs! I just can't decide which one looks better overall for the cooking menu. Which one do y'all prefer? Better yet, do you have a different suggestion entirely? #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

The Item Menu within the battle scene now has switchable categories! Instead of regular healing items and food being all in one menu, now you can have a bit more organization. The help window text has more color, too! #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Rememeber in the old demo, you could find tea bags? Now they have a use! While each tea has different effects, they will all remove the Panic state. #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

The Goldewin Twins, aka "F" and "G" from the Wheeze Shop, are finally updated after years since their introduction! What do you think of the new look? (also, new somethings coming soon!) #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Introducing Card Customization! NPC friends can give you an equippable card to lend you their strength, but why don't YOU have a card too? Even better...you can share it with OTHER PLAYERS with an import/export menu! #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Lighting and shading is just about done with J Street! J Street development has been a LONG process...now that it's just about done, I can take a break and focus on story content! Woohoo! #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

No work on the status icons tonight, but I've been experimenting on something secret for a while... The coding is a mess, it isn't optimized and VERY barebones, buuuut...proof of concept? And yes, Friday Night but on a Saturday XD #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Major update to battles, states now have image popups instead of just string text! Also numbers are getting an update too. While I didn't include them, HP, MP, Units, and EXP numbers got updates too! #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Finally put my computer back together after the big move! I can finally go back to working on Crystal Fragments! #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

A brand new menu in my game, work in progress! The plan is that you'll be able to ally yourself in tournaments and certain dungeons with different setups...some of which include certain NPCs! #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Trying something new tonight! I've been streaming for years now, but for the next three nights we're going to be doing something a little different...studying game design through games! Come say hi LIVE! That's right, I'm live right now! #rpgmaker | #vxace | #gamedev | #twitch

There is a ridiculous amount of textboxes in my game. Every location has a different textbox to match the theme, every popup has a different style to match its type...and this isn't even all of them! Which one is your favorite? #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Working on a new layout for the cooking menu! Right now its just placing everything more efficiently. Actual menu UI theme changes will be later on. Ingredient rarity colors finally show up as well in this menu! #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Adding extra clutter, trash, leaves, even a little area for bikes! Between lots of distractions, building design research, and only about an hour each work session, this map has been taking way longer than any other in the game. Geez. #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Latenight workings on more of Downtown Otnemarcas! It's really coming together now! Had an empty alley, it isn't looking so empty anymore. Still a work in progress, but what do you think so far? #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Need some help, folks! I'm reworking some of the choice menus, and I'm wondering...which are you more a fan of? The compact box or the wide box? #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

Probably the most fun I've had making a menu! Tonight me and a friend bumped heads together to rework the Tournament Selection menu, which hasn't been updated since 2020. Absolute MAGIC! #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

I've been having a blast putting focus and love into some of the buildings of my game. Seriously, sit back, relax, and take your time with things. All the best things come out that way. You've got this! #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame

When I'm not working on my game, I also stream! And when I'm not streaming, I'm working on menu graphics for streamers around the world! Take a look at some of my stream overlays! #twitch | #streamer | #graphicdesign | #kingdomhearts #finalfantasy

Wait...is it "Happy New Year" or "Happy New Year's"? Have I been saying it wrong all this time? Anyways, here's to a fantastic new year! 🎊 Can't wait to jump into some brand new projects with you all!

Old > New Part of the reconstruction is really putting some oomph into the buildings and streets. I'm having a lot of fun with this, but I NEED some SLEEP! #rpgmaker | #vxace | #indiegamedev | #indiedev | #indiegame
