📣 Dev announcement of what might come (AKA I'm terrible with time management 😵): 

- Indie VN devs Bday fanart 

- Wrap up a colossal devlog from months ago 

- Live2D art practices 

- Update to my Ren'Py Live2D lip flap code (special thanks to Feniks for suggesting an animation improvement!)

I took a dev break after MVNA jam, ever since I realised that I'm entering all of my weekends with my head still in hardcore work mode, trying to schedule multiple tasks. I didn't rest from my last winter break, so I needed lazy video game sessions to take my mind off (& be away from my pc). 😪

Regardless, tasks don't finish by themselves. 🥲 What I need to do is: 

- prioritise order 

- rescope WIPS, because I allot too much effort since I jump in doing things without thought. Now I'm stressed out because I have too many ancient useless WIPs piling up that didn't stick to the point. 😭

Devlog: 

Writing the devlog felt very cathartic because I got a whole thesis of what has been giving me a creative block for almost 2 years. But nobody is going to read a devlog that came from eh... 30+ pages (or more) word doc. 🙃 If I know this, I should haven't gone this in depth. 😑

It's this long because it's actually multiple devlogs about unrelated topics (could be its own post) but are still linked. Not to mention there is also the matter of oversharing in the first draft or that it needs huge re-edits if I picture an actual audience (my itch followers?) reading it.

It went quite in depth about the otome/amare VN project. It finally got a title for quite long time already, but for some reason I never announced it. 😅 I'm still sentimental about it that I hadn't written a single script. I'm not sad about it being possibly good and that you're missing out

Only how one LI is probably my most popular OC among my dev mutuals which had built up pressure before I even started. (I say OC until they get featured in a published work) I keep on thinking: damn, he will never ever live up to the player expectations, I wish someone else wrote the stories. 😔

It's not unexpected that the guy I announced with he/they pronouns ends up being my comfort character and other characters stand absolutely no chance! 😆 I want to leave it at this without further elaboration. 😂 Should trim the silly devlogs too, I don't know why I over-explain everything. 😓
