The first Friday Rambles of the month, and the first Friday Rambles since whatever this new Patreon branding is.
The weird new logo and corporate mission aside, the new text editor is certainly not very good. I don't know why the text is so small. I don't know why the entire textbox flickers every time I change where the cursor is. Really good "creator" "experience."
In the meantime...

Well, so, it's pretty clear I won't be done with the Halloween update by Halloween, so I'm postponing it to later.

2023-09-30 00:52:59 +0000 UTC View PostA new Friday, a new Rambles!
Last week I was feeling pretty bummed after having abandoned my Game 2 idea. But after I posted my Friday Rambles, I skimmed through all my previous Rambles because I was feeling nostalgic after having done 100 of them. I talked about jogging a lot in my Rambles, but stopped about 4 months ago... So, for old times' sake, I went out for a run that evening, and,...

It's Labor Day Weekend (at least here in the States) and that means... absolutely nothing for me because I don't get paid holidays anymore! But I hope you're getting some rest at least.
It's already September that means... it's officially the one year anniversary of the Endless Monday Monthly! And the 9th monthiversary since I stopped making them in fav...

I made some progress with the EMDnD Autumn Content Update. Still only able to work a couple hours a day, but I wrote a bunch of words and drew a bunch of sprites. The sprites are meant to be a big surprise, so I'm not going to post them here, but yeah, at least something got done this week.
Anyway, I need to hurry u...

I'm busy writing a lot. I wrote a lot this week. It's all writing for video game. I've officially started the real work on adding the new Epilogues Update to Endless Monday Dreasm and dEdld.
The visual novel fest is over, and the game did about as well as i had hoped. i'm also hoping that it reaches the 500 review barrier by the autumn sale, so that it can have th...
2023-08-19 01:36:23 +0000 UTC View PostIt's Friday, and that means the Friday Rambles. It's weird, because it feels like Friday came a little faster this week. I guess that's what happens when the last Friday Rambles is on Monday.
The Steam Visual Novel Fest is ongoing, and I made another trailer for it. You can see it on my Twitter
It's the first ramble of August 2023! And I'm late, once again. Sorry. I was busy. But who isn't these days?

I want to work, though. I'm tired of not working. I've been busy not working for 2 months. Let me work! Work is Not da poop, when I need to work to make game and make money!
Well, at least I have time to write a paywalled weekly diary entry.

Not really much game dev stuff to talk about. I fixed a few Japanese text formatting errors that I saw while lurking in a few streams of people playing the game, nothing serious or anything most people would even notice unless they were me. I've actually fixed a lot of little bugs and typos that way over the past c...

It's been a very busy and meaningful week for me in the real world. I'm stressed out and tired. I've been able to pull myself away briefly so I can write this Friday Rambles for you, my wonderful supporter.
I'm never playing the new Zelda, am I?

Lots of games I won't have time to play releasing these days, like Diablo 4, SF6, and the new Zelda I still haven't played yet. I've barely had any time to work on my own game as it is. Still really busy with family stuff!

It's the Friday Rambles. A little early today!
I actually got a lot of work done, despite being pretty busy with family and real life stuff. I traveled and did a lot of shopping. Still haven't played the new Zelda.
What gamedev work I was able to get done was mostly focused on JP localization, Mac build, and fixing the stupid effects code, for which I found even more bugs. But now t...
