When I started learning CDDs for Alia and the 6 Paths I knew I'd get bored if I tried to practice with something not for the game, so I just learned how to do the side-scroller stuff I wanted. Forgive Alia's nakeyness: it's a placeholder sprite.

Me going onto a Tumblr page and crying when I see: Indy Theme by Safe as Milk. I don't like endless scrollingggg! Give me page numbers!

I ALMOST FORGOT My #MVNA entry is out! A Renpy Dating Sim Framework. lemonademochi.itch.io/dating-sim-f... Features~ ❤️Affection System ❤️Stat Raising ❤️Calendar System ❤️Event System ❤️Ability to make dates and break 'em 💔

My #MVNA project is released! It comes with many art assets by wonderful artists to make immersive particle effects right away. I spent far too much time adding all sorts of movement options and customization to it, so it would mean a lot if you checked it out! feniksdev.itch.io/immersive-pa...

I wanna make gumboooooo.

My grandfather calling me to wish me a happy birthday: "So, have you started walking funny yet?"

It's my day of birth.

MVNA jam submission 2/2 This is now Version 3 of this idea. This one is especially for the sprites where all the different parts of the face are separated. V3 integrates into the Interactive Director which means no loading times. Instant script edits. Speeeeeed. cuteshadow.itch.io/layeredimage...

Making proper documentation and helper functions for the Dating Sim Framework reminding me I can indeed be nicer to myself on projects.

Doing a dating sim frame work for #MVNA and I was not expecting the "Make dates with a chosen LI" part to be the hardest. The logic isn't hard, just how to present it cleanly in screens is. I want people to be able to cancel dates by bumping previous engagements off and whatnot.

Super bummed I couldn't get my Sealed with a Kiss jam submission done. Hoping I can work myself up to finishing it in the next month or two because I really did like the story.

Always finding a way to use "smorgasbord" in my writings because I watched too much Charlotte's Web as a child.

Feeling like a teenager searching up stuff like "Shirtless man" and "Six-pack" because I need the reference for a character sprite and my husband's all: "Why not just look up pictures of Henry Cavill shirtless?" WELL I MEAN IF I HAVE PERMISSION I GUESS 😭

I remember being super excited when the Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku Restart trailer dropped, and then having to come to terms with the fact that Pechka has an ugly-ass bird tail.

I wanted to name the dog in my SWAK jam entry "Hambone", but my husband forbade it, so his name is "Biscuits" now.

Surprise! My gothic horror vampire otome Duskbound was released on Steam today 🥳

Beautiful Brides Titania, Mist, and Mia. Oscar is here too.

99% of the renpy documentation: making vns is easy. you can do whatever you want. edit whatever you need. the world is your oyster take our hand. we can make a game. together 1% of the renpy documentation: if you pause the game for dramatic effect you are being RUDE and EVIL and TERRIBLE

#OtomeAssortment jam has wrapped with over 50 entries! What #otome game will you be playing next? A big shoutout to all the #otomedev who participated!! 🎊

Finally learned how to use lambda. On my way to cool nerd one-liner code that no one else can read.

Happy New Year! I started off this wonderful year with a cold.

I watched Del Toro's Frankenstein last night, thought it was very alright. But I dreamed of a dating sim where you're a girl and make Frankenstein, and have to work hard to make it so he doesn't kill you or himself by earning certain points.

Planning for Sealed with a Kiss jam and I'm like- "Lemonade, are you going to put another shame boner into your romance story?"

My husband made the mistake of asking me about Big Hero 6. (I do not like Big Hero 6)

When I was a little kid I used to think our car was psychic because I didn't understand turn signals and thought it pointed the way home.

Me forcing my friends to listen to me scream about how Apollo is trying to use his "Cousin in" like Jonah Hill's character in Wolf of Wall Street, and that I should be able to bang Odysseus. Or Prometheus, or Heracles. I dunno man, I don't wanna romance 3/4ths of the available smoochies.

My little brother decided to show me his thanks on Thanksgiving by reading off recent SpongeBob episode synopses.

Chronos has flippers for feet.

I dream a lot and force all my friends to hear about them: whether they want to or not. They're all collected into one place, and one day I'd actually like to post some of the more horrifying/funny ones. However for now I will post excerpts that I find amusing.

Playing Hades II and every time I fight Prometheus I'm just like- "Bro, you can't zip-a-dee-doo-dah up to me like that. I am but a girl and your masculinity frightens me. Grandpa would never fistfight me like this, he's a gentleman. This is not self-defense: you and your bird are whaling on me."

I was eating some broccoli out of a tiny bowl and my husband saw me and called me a hamster! 😭

Lip (Panel de Pon) paintings I did a long time ago.

Forced my husband to listen to me talk about the Rainbow Magic fairies and he had fricking beef with Lottie the Lollipop fairy. Him: "Lollipops are not desserts, they are sweet treats, not a whole course." Me: "Okay, but do you have beef with the candyfloss fairy because it's the same issue?"

You can learn a lot about someone by how they name their OCs.

Finished SnK with my husband. It was his first time watching, and my first rewatch. He really liked it and I got a new appreciation for it. However I was snickering towards the end because that final Eren-Armin conversation won't ever stop being funny to me.

Pathfinder character I painted for a small game. Human Thaumaturge with Undine heritage. He was raised by a bunch of mermaids. #Characterart #Pathfinder #Gouache

Sick, but I wanna workkkkk.

Ended up procrastinating and doing extra tinkering on my side-scroller. Now, the player can click the area they want to walk to. Only thing left is controller support I suppose.

I feel like more games should be mean to you.

A month ago I had nary an idea on how to use Ren'py transformations. Now my behind's like "Wheeeeeeeeeee"

I accidentally dipped my braid in my hot cocoa while trying to figure out if it was fizzing. It was not fizzing.

Sometimes I come across accounts where every post is solo conversational nonsense, and I wish to be as free as them.

the confusion around what counts as a dating sim in western dev spaces is weird because I remember there were actual stat-and-calendar dating sims being made as flash games, and then somehow the knowledge of that distinction was completely evaporated

Making a VTM character for a one-shot and remembering that V5 loves like 4 clans, and the other ones get paltry pickings in terms of specialized options. I shouldn't have to beg for more Toreador options, dammit! They're one of the basic clans. Do something more interesting with Presence, please.

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity. "What service is Microsoft providing?" Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

I need to get farther in my writings of Alia and the 6 Paths, because I long for kissing scenes.
