Hey y'all, I had a post prewritten and scheduled to go live yesterday and it just...disappeared into the void????

...Uhhh---

Here's a summary of that post because otherwise y'all will be waiting until November because I was too bummed out to update y'all on shit 😭

Work on #LovedVN has started up again because 1) The Knight Dance is finished and 2) I got sketches from my artist!!

I cannot wait for y'all to meet Jacob and Corey's mamas, I love them SO much.

Fingers crossed that next month I'll be more chatty about this project 🫶🏾 (There's some Loved VN stuff on ko-fi if your're a subbie!!) But for now, here's a tiny preview of the itch.io page that's been set up since January.

themes and motifs and emotions go CRAZY in the Crushed-Loved-TBA saga!! 😭

Also, it's HSD's anniversary month and while I have something small planned I have NO idea if it will go up by the 18th, but I do know it will be live before the end of the year. So. We shoot for 10/18 or we guarantee before 12/31 LOL!

Okie doke! Gonna press the reblog button now. This better work. *cries*.

If Natsume Souchirou has million fans, I am one of them.

If Natsume Souchirou has 5 fans, I am one of them.

If Natsume Souchirou has 1 fan, that fan is me.

If Natsume Souchirou has no fans, I am no longer alive.

If the world is against Natsume Souchirou, I am against the whole world.

Till my last breath I will love Natsume Souchirou

So in a video associated with the Nijigasaki 6th live, the Love Live staff announced the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club's "7th Live" — the highest numbered live concert that Love Live has ever produced — and have announced the production of a Nijigasaki Visual Novel for the Nintendo Switch.

The only real information on either is that they're upcoming; no dates or anything, much less anything about worldwide availability. The wording of the second announcement (something like "The school life of twelve students and you begin again!") and the few moments of conversation between Ayumu and "Anata" shown suggest that the VN may be a continuation of the SIFAS story, which would be great! I'm trying to temper my expectations, though.

How would Robin deal with an M/C that cries from even the thought of someone being nice or validating them?

He's gonna keep validating, cherishing, and loving them, and he'll say it's exposure therapy.

Since it's the middle of the night I'll admit it, finally checked out the yaoi vn that everyone is playing and....... It's weirdly endearing LMAO I like it

PLEASE PLAY THIS GAME! IT'S REALLY COOL! You can play it for free and finish it in little time too!!! (also it's gory, check the warnings before playing it! Thoughts in the tags)

i worked with @renbiegames on a horror vn for ossan jam 2024 !!!

it's about three (50+ yr old) coworkers trapped in their office building until they can "reveal the truth"

game developer bias warning: I really love Ryan's lunch scene (Florence's is a close second thou!!)

I'm sore from spending redacted hours braiding my hair, I have tomorrow off, I feel pretty good right now and I've got good music playing in my ears as I write this, so I figure we can have an update as a treat!!

As seen above, I'm still riding the high of releasing the demo for the sequel to my first ever game. I'm also deep in the trenches of Development Hell because I've been working on Ryan's route (sometimes bouncing between Langston & Billie's if you've peeped my running gif flavored commentary 🥹).

Given that Past Me, who wrote the outline, and Current Me, who's writing the script, are having creative differences, I've forced myself not to mess with the doc for a couple days weeks.

Which is a smart idea. Because...

CRUSHED #2 RESUMES PRODUCITON THIS WEEK!!!

Lol, I got in contact with my sprite artist from game one and I'll be commissioning them for Crushed #2 aka Loved!

"Gemini, you said resumes, what the heck??"

Yeah, um, see, so what had happened was--

(on a serious note, I will talk about this in its own post. pinkie promise.)

THE KNIGHT DANCE IS GETTING UPDATED! Sometime. YEAH!

LOL, while TKD is a complete creation, fully voiced gameplay and the UI are a must, so I wanted to let y'all know that the UI is stunning and very storybook-esque, and I'm working with the VAs + my director to get those lines recorded and coded into the game.

Estimated ETA on all of this? ...2024! 😂👌🏾

GEM'S GAME GEMS (on main)

It's been a hot minute since I've hyped up others' games in my devlogs, so let's get into it.

College Craze is actually ruining my life (affectionate). V7 IS EVERYTHING I WANT AND NEED AHHHHHHHH! My main OC is gunning for Thomas and we got to bump boots finally and officially be an item so you really can't tell me shit 🤷🏽‍♀️

Gamedev miseri released a demo for a game called Wake Up Magical Girl and if you must know, miseri is legit who I wanna be when I grow up 🤧all hits no skips I swear!!

And lastly, CTRL FREAK released a little while ago, and the plan is to play the game sometime after I get done yapping with y'all 😩

Cool, cool, cool, I'm gonna touch grass and then go back to playing games 😂

Short Break and To Dos!

Hello all! 🍄🍄👻 I'm glad to see people enjoying Day 3 so far! I was so nervous about showing another side to Mychael in the update I thought people wouldn't like him as much but plenty have reacted positively! ❤️

I'll add a TLDR; above the read more, but if you don't mind my ramblings and want more details about everything, I'll write everything below! Light spoilers ahead!

I'll be taking a short break from MO development until 28th October to work on a short VN for the Monstrous Desires jam!

Most probably missed it, but there's a tiny small patch to Day 3 explained here.

Queue will return soon! I just gotta handle some housekeeping first with my Patreon.

Regarding the feedback on Day 3, I'm glad people aren't as averse to the new side of Mychael, in that he isn't always soft and sweet. I want people to fall in love with a person after all, not a yandere caricature, and that means that person can get upset, angry and sometimes irrational when we don't know what's going on in their head even towards the subject of their affections. While some (understandably!) were shocked about his reaction to the mushrooms, it'll be clear as to why (hopefully!)

Some of you have given incredibly accurate theories, and I'll take that as something I've done well in building up the mystery!!! I'm excited to share more in the next update, but for now!

1. I'll be taking a short break from MO development to work on a short VN for the Monstrous Desires jam!

What I have planned for Day 4 of MO might be the biggest update so far, since one route will lead to a few official BAD ENDINGS as opposed to 'dead ends' like the current demo has. To those who really want to, you finally get to see Mychael at his worst. As usual, writing the script takes a few months with plenty of changes in between, and I don't wanna bulldoze ahead and rush the story when it's getting to the climax!

But before I jump into all of that I just wanna give myself a creative exercise and try exploring a different theme, style and setting with a fresh new character for the jam! Since I'm a sucker for the trope... yes, the new blorbo will also be a yandere, sorry, I'm predictable.💔 The jam ends on October 28th so development on MO will continue then!

The last time I wrote something remotely sci-fi was in high school, so this will be fun to try!

2. Most probably missed it, but there's a tiny small patch to Day 3 explained here.

What it says on the tin! If you've already played Day 3, rest assured there's no significant story changes. Just an updated credits list, three extra sprites for one route and a small fix in the code.

3. Queue will return soon! I just gotta handle some housekeeping first with my Patreon.

Plenty of people have sent such sweet and encouraging messages to my inbox on what they thought of the update and I cannot thank all of you enough for the support!! I can't wait to post them out to archive them on the blog and answer all your interesting theories and queries in my queue!

But for now I'm due for a short break from my socials and to catch up on my Patreon sketch requests haha. I also plan to release cut content from Day 3 for my Yearling and Deer patrons. Plus, I'll be working on some written prompts for extra lore so that's something to look forward to!

I'll be back soon! Take care, fireflies!! ❤️

hi, i'm finally caught up on my dash after being absent for a couple of days lmao ;;; going into a doll-making fugue state and then jumping straight into procedure prep has been. time consuming, to say the least. lol lmao. i'll go through my drafts and post things either tomorrow after i'm back or on wednesdayyy!! (today hasn't been AS bad as i'd assumed bc i prepared for prep day KJANDSKJN, so now i just have to get up and finish at 4 fucking a.m. and then do the actual procedure. sighs wearily. can't wait to eat solid food tomorrow JNKJDNKJSFN.)

MY GIRLS MY GIRLS MY GIRLS MY GIRLS M-- THOSE ARE MY DAUGHTERS AND MY BESTIES AND SOME OF MY EARLIEST PLATONIC SELFSHIPS and one of my earliest """"""girl crushes""""" in hindsight ksjndkjsn and if this is a re-imagining that does the 1st season / 3 manga vols i'll cry so loud and so hard and have a fit!!!!!

[cw spoilers]

......please don't adapt the 2nd season / 2nd half of the manga..... please don't be a continuation either.... the first season was meant to be one-and-done and you can tell (and the 2nd half also has all of the Objectionable Parts of the series so...) :') keep it to a tight fantasy/magical girl/mecha series about guilt and forcing world-continuing-to-exist responsibility onto one-to-three people and expecting them not to crack. that shit rips. the ONLY part of s2 that works is the further exploration of that guilt, but they even made that Quite Weird, as much as i love nova in a vacuum ;;;;;

hello i am unwell. best news i could possibly get on a No Good Very Bad Day.
