First, congrats to those who were able to finish their vn!!

That was not me. I entered this already knowing I wouldn't finish, but this is the most I've worked consecutively on this project since it was originally created, and that gives me a sense of pride.

Said project [2017, proof of concept/prototype]  https://lehxra.itch.io/black-diary

Black Diary is a mystery/horror vn centered around a town that's resident's disappeared, and a girl who gets dropped into it all. The town's secrets can only be found in a stranger's black diary. 

Devlogs created during this time

Originally created in 2017 with TyranoBuilder, I decided the year after that I wanted to recreate it in Ren'py.  I did some character redesign, a bit of story work, collected some 3D backgrounds, and that was about it.

This game jam helped me to be more motivated and experiment with my new skill sets that I've acquired from being a game arts student.  (level design, 3D modelling, Unreal Engine)

I hope to keep this dedication and motivation in 2021 and get this thing back out to the world in the most presentable state it can be in.
