[ JJK 236 SPOILER WARNING ]

digging into your pocket, you take out the blindfold and the pair of glasses your boyfriend always wore. fingers rubbing against the soft fabric, reminiscing all the memories you shared. —despite him not being there everyday, you always felt his warmth wherever his touch and scent lingered.

—you rested the blindfold beside his engraved name that laid beside you, you cant help but feel the tears well up once again. how many times have you cried at this point? too many to count.

hands grazing along that name you always called out to. the name you would always say as you complained about not being able to see through those pitch dark glasses. the glasses that you now admire beneath the moonlight, as you sat with the only friend you had left.

you can already hear the memories. the moment when you had tried satoru's glasses, saying how you couldn't see a single thing through them—"that's the point of them sweets" he responded through small laughter—and he would only look at you with a loving gaze. a gaze you always felt whenever you were with him. a love you've now grown to miss.

satoru always looked at you with so much love. he always did. for it was the last droplet of love he could ever hold. he gave you everything, would hand down the world to you. he provided you with the small bottles of affection he had left, for when a day came when he was no longer around. he would rest happy knowing he gave you his all.

so on the on the new year of 2019. a week after the incident. you put on his glasses one more time, looking out into the dark sky being illuminated with nothing but the hues of blue you swore that was an illusion. but you let your imagination wander. for you sit beside the tombstones of your lover, and best friend. the both of them resting peacefully, while your head rested against shokos. quietly you murmured to the sky,

"I see you. I see the both of you. with, or without glasses."

satoru would be content. satoru is resting well now. satoru is at peace and doesn't have to withstand the burden of being satoru gojo anymore.

satoru was with his best friend again. without any difference's breaking them apart.

i rest my case. jjk 336 has ruined me so bad.

Devlog #35 | 09.26.23

Hi everyone!

Hope the beginning of Fall has been kind to you all <3 To be Frank, it has not been Kind to me LMFAO. But I'll get into that, so let's dive in yippee!

Before I do, someone liked this post recently, which was such a throwback. It was before the full demo was out and everything!! I was so young and full of life. I'm going to sprinkle some comparison shots of the new assets with the old ones to break up the text and also walk down memory lane with me! (Full GUI not shown as I'm still waiting on the assets)

Chapter Cards (Left: After | Right: Before)

The "Progress"

I'm going to structure this devlog a little differently from the usual template. The main reason being, for those of you who didn't see, I have not been feeling Myself recently.

This month I found myself all out of sorts. While I felt like I was making progress and doing so much everyday read: fighting for my life, when I looked back on things at the end of this month, I didn't feel like I really did much.

On a higher level, I finished fulfilling Kickstarter physical rewards, opened a Kofi shop of the remaining merch, edited Druk's route and continued writing Etza's route, updated assets and code for the updated demo, and then general commission stuff (BGs from Vui, soundtracks from Peter, etc.).

But overall, Alaris felt largely like it was kinda sitting at around the same spot as it did when I entered this month. Which made me a little sad! I had wanted to make So Much Progress on Alaris because next month I won't be able to work on it really. Then, I realized I haven't taken a break from game development since I started it two years ago HA!!!

The Real Progress

Development for me has been back-to-back. Chapter releases every 1-2 months during my first half year of development, Full Demo release shortly after, Kickstarter shortly after, Full Game Development shortly after. When I was feeling burnt out from Alaris, I made intertwine. Then I was Heavily Involved in the development of two games shortly after.

All of this on top of my IRL responsibilities, which include a job, PhD school, and well, functioning as a normal human occasionally.

And then here we are at the end of September 2023, and I'm wondering why even though I creatively want to work on Alaris, I find my brain literally just getting too tired to think.

Etza CG (Left: After | Right: Before)

I think ever since the Kickstarter, I've put a lot of pressure on myself to consistently put out LOTS of updates for each monthly devlog. I don't want people to think I'm not working on things or I'm not committed to delivering after giving me their hard earned money. But now, with two years under my belt, I'm realizing that is... HMM maybe too high of a standard to put on myself for my first game ever. There are many much more seasoned developers than me who don't put that pressure on themselves (which is Good and Healthy).

So this month, I debated scrounging around and gathering all my crumbs to give you all a devlog that you'll be satisfied with. But I decided ultimately that wouldn't be good for me and would honestly not be the most transparent way to present the current process of things.

And so. Here I am. Head in my Hands. Letting you all know that while I'm not "burnt out," I am.... only human LOL (one human at that). And so some months, like this one, will just not have much progress to report. Not because I'm not working on it or any other deeper reason. But because it's physically impossible and unreasonable for me to be continuously pushing out a steady stream of content.

In-Game Sprites & BGs (Left: After | Right: Before)

Next month, I'lll be taking a vacation. It's actually my first Big, Official one in a Long Time! I'm very excited for it. And while I did initially think about working on Alaris while I was traveling on trains or things like that, I decided to respect my own need to be a Human and just take a break for once in my life. I don't even want to say I Might work on things, because that sentiment alone will pressure me to make some progress. So yes. Next month, there will be no devlog or updates. But please rest assured, I am "working on Alaris" by letting myself just Exist and Rest Up!

Not an Alaris screenshot but it is market research that deserves to be included because I played House in Fata Morgana recently and it was Phenomenal!

Thank you all for understanding and your continued support. I'm extremely appreciative to have such a kind and patient community. Hope you all have a wonderful October filled with Fall Treats, and I'll see you in November! <3

weekly update! 9.23-9.28 (day 28-33)

hi again!

this week was terrible to me. I've been feeling nauseous and dealing with a sudden mood drop isnt fun (i call these depression episodes). I'm guessing my period is coming, since thats what usually happens.😭 This means a reduced productivity...and I'm just trying to get by.

day 28//09.23.23

Dnd time! I joined a group recently, so we made our character that day. I kept making terrible rolls 😭😭 but it was fun!

day 29//09.24.23

social battery recharge time. break day. Started to feel nauseous. I actually made lunch tomorrow :3

day 30//09.25.23

studied for my test a bit for friday. I felt nauseous still and I was really feeling down. :'(

day 31//09.26.23

Still felt the nausea and down. But I did catch up with my notes when I overslept a bit. I took it easy since I was still not feeling well

day 32//09.27.23

I celebrated my friend's birthday! We had a fun time for dinner, and I got some ice cream! ;9 social interaction with friends is fun. Some notes were done and studying, but my textbook's free trial expired and I didnt know I was even on the free trial 😭

day 33//09.28.23

Still feeling a bit sad. Saw my bf, and I went and got groceries. Did my quizzes (I had to buy my textbooks so that was a bruh moment). I'm too tired to study but also...I dont feel so confident in this test 😫 maybe i should sleep tonight and try tmrw morning....

gotta do the dishes too :P and pack lunch :P

[acadoll]

Better day today than yesterday! I was a whole lot more prepared for my lecture. It was still a lot of new (and not very intuitive) information to cover, but I felt better about explaining things to this class. I spent a lot of time grading today, so tomorrow will hopefully focus on my research and class work!
