Monthly Update (November 2024)
Hello everyone, happy November!
I'd talk about how we're finally entering winter, but… is it just me, or is it strangely warm? (Trying not to be worried about this…)
WHAT DID I DO THIS MONTH?
It'll be a bit of a short devlog this time, my apologies! I was away on a trip for the first week, and after that, I mostly worked on collabs/projects that I'm working on with other devs! I did a bit of proofing and beta testing, as well as some backgrounds for a secret, unannounced project.
On the writing front, I wrote 23k words! Currently, I'm working on three projects: one slated for December, one slated for January, and the Karamu spinoff (of course, these are all tentative dates, haha!) I finished the script for the demo of my December project (with the demo coming in at 22k words, or around 1.5-2 hours of gameplay!) and worked on revising it.
WHAT'S PLANNED FOR NEXT MONTH?
Next month, I hope to finish out the script for my January project (which I hope will be shorter than the December one… but we'll see! It's currently at 18k words, haha!)
I also received almost all of Nelli and Raku's lines for Hanasu (the third Karamu part), so I'll be going through those (cutting lines, selecting takes, and cleaning/adjusting the audio). There's over 500 lines and 3 gigs of data to go through, so it's definitely my most ambitious VA project yet!
Lastly, I'll be working on the art assets for my December project! I've designed the love interest and done some rendering tests, so I'll be working on his sprites and on the backgrounds and CGs (probably prioritizing the backgrounds first).
(I also hope to finally get around to posting on social media.. I've taken a pretty extended hiatus while I was getting projects off the ground, but I'll try my best to make time to actually talk about them!)
Thank you to everyone who's following along, and see you next week!

Hazel, Jasmine, and Winn find their plans to mend fences disrupted when they discover Anti-Fairy magic is evident in Dev's reoccurring nightmares.
So do you guys ever get so invested in a fake episode that you made up in your head that you make a fake title card and synopsis for it? No? Yeah, me neither.

BioWare uses AI in Dragon Age: The Veilguard codex cards
And I think it's not only there - most of the armor looks like the use AI for references.
But about the codex: this applies to the Grey Warden cards. First, a general view:
All cards in different styles made by different artists. But my eyes caught on this:
It's the same art that was run through AI-editor. And these cards are nearby, in the same game! Maximum disrespect for the work of the artist who made the original art (for DAI btw). The codex contains a few cards with this style, let's see the details:
They all was AI generated. I thought I couldn't be more disappointed in BioWare, but it turns out there is.

The wait is over! (Finally) Introducing Carnyx Interactive, a BRAND NEW game development studio made up of queer and neurodiverse game and art industry powerhouses. Founded around the goal of amplifying voices hushed by colonialism, our games emphasize the innate worth in every being.
As a studio, we are passionate about making the games we want to play, and driven by the lightning-in-a-bottle feeling of experiencing our favourite games for the first time. We’re very intentional about the stories we tell and choose the genres and gameplay that will best support those stories, rather than the other way around. This allows us a flexibility to creatively explore all ideas and the constant ability to grow our skills, game after game.
The third pillar of Carnyx is mentorship - each of us is coming in with a unique set of experiences and skills, and we strive to create an environment where we both play to our strengths and leave space to mentor and be mentored in return. We grow best when we grow together.
This ethos drives every part of our business - from the stories we choose to tell, to our approach to research, to the way we treat our coworkers - every person is worth the space and time they occupy. To this end, we strive to create and uphold an environment of compassion, where every voice and idea is considered equitably. We’re very excited to share our journey with you! Stay tuned for our first two project announcements (one launching this year) and check us out at https://www.carnyxinteractive.com/ and https://carnyxint.itch.io/ for more information and dev blogs.
Also! Join our Discord!

Still laughing about how they didn't want to "invalidate" anyone's worldstate. But that is exactly what they did.
Morrigan is the most obvious, I really cannot believe that a Morrigan who was a mother would have so willingly taken into her something like Mythal if she was a mother - of at this point - a 10 year old Kieran. Maybe she would, but it would be for different reasons.
Isabela is the most annoying to me. She's talking about how "Kirkwall taught her about family." as if she couldn't have been given up by Hawke to the Arishok. As if she couldn't have ran away from Kirkwall and never looked back. If I had met an Isabela from a world state like that, she would never have said that.
Harding talking about the Inquisition also feels like it misses some... extra flavour here and there based on actual choices. Like my Inquisitor didn't do well with Blackwall, and he didn't survive to see the end of the game. But Lace speaks about him fondly and in such a way that I don't think she should if the Inquisitor never 'redeemed' him.
Zevran is never mentioned by name, but what if a warden outright killed the assassin hunting them. Or he turned on them in Denerim and died later? Then explain to me that entire banter Lucanis has with Harding about why House Arainai messed up so bad they went trough several Talons about it. And now the Crows don't take contracts in Ferelden anymore.
At that point the reason that was given to us for the lack of worldbuild choices to prevent 'invalidating everyone's worldstate' feels null and void. Because you have. You have invalidated many worldstates already by bringing back these character or have people talk around them in such a way that doesn't make sense.
#dragon age#bioware critical#veilguard critical#datv#datv spoilers#sorry i got the isabela line again today and it made my anger resurface#its my main complaint mostly because of how the devs tried to placate us and how it ended up turning out#and it felt like they fucking lied to our faces about it because of it.#i can generally even deal with it because it's not even /that/ much.#and i like the game so much outside of this so i can bite my tongue for the most part#i just needed to get some of the anger out ig.#might delete this post later we'll see. i just wanted to vent for a bit.

[Dev Log] November 2024
Hello, happy belated Halloween to you!
This dev log includes announcements of upcoming release dates and a brief overview of what was accomplished over the past month, so you might find it interesting to read to the end.
Announcement [Patreon Members]
With the start of this month, changes have been made to the Patreon tiers [Civilian $1 and Inspector $7].
If you haven't familiarized yourself with the updates yet, please be sure to read this post. Thank you for your support! ♥
Announcement [Release Dates]
Here's the release schedule for the upcoming updates:
Demo Expansion: November 9 [Patreon]
L's Side Story: November 30 [Patreon]
Demo Update [Chapter 3 Part 1]: December 7 [Public]
The full list of changes in the expanded demo will be included in the release post, but you can get a preliminary look at them here [in the "About my plans for the current month" section].
Regarding the public demo release: I had planned to release it earlier, at the end of November, but with L's Side Story release, I just won't have time to compile all the files.
Thank you for your patience and for waiting, I hope you'll find it worthwhile!
What was accomplished last month?
Refined the prologue and most scenes in Chapter 1, as well as some in Chapter 2 [especially I's scene].
Besides fixing grammar, I smoothed out parts of the narrative that felt choppy or awkward to improve the overall flow. Some elements in Chapter 1 still need polishing, but for now, my main focus is preparing the Expanded Demo for release. I would also like to thank everyone who submitted error reports. They were incredibly helpful, and I truly appreciate your time and support in improving my story!
Implemented height difference variables.
I've been working on how to best address the height difference between the ROs and the MC since I want the narrative to be responsive to these changes. However, since the two versions of the same RO differ in height depending on their gender, I had to implement 7 new variables to avoid writing multiple *if statements all the time.
A very simple example of usage: @{M_tall 1|2|3|4} = @{M_tall much shorter than you, around|shorter than you, around|around|taller than you, around} Mentions of height differences in the narrative will mostly if you choose flirt options.
Added additional customization for moles.
Thanks to the MC pictures that readers sent me [created with Picrew and drawn], I've decided to add this option for the MC customization. This option won't be mentioned in the narrative, but I thought it would be nice to give readers this choice, hoping that including it in character creation will help some of the players feel more connected to their MC.
About my plans for the current month.
This month will be entirely dedicated to preparing for the demo and side story releases.
In addition to that, the bonus content on Patreon that will be released this month will include:
T's NSFW Alphabet.
A short story [featuring I].
A detailed content release schedule for Patreon can be found here.
Author's Note.
Due to a heavy workload, I unfortunately cannot be active here and answer asks as often as I used to, and I apologize if you did not receive a reply.
I hope to have more time in December once the public update is released, especially since it will also mark one year since the demo was first released! ☺️
Thank you for reading to the end and for your support! Have a wonderful week and days after that! ♥

shield and spear {general! marcus acacius x weaponsmith! reader teaser}
pairing: general! marcus acacius x weaponsmith! reader
warnings: adult language, adult content, allusions to sex work, allusions to slavery, violence, fighting, blood, more to be determined!
a/n: just a little something my brain yelled at me to get down in response to gift we all received yesterday and how could i not listen?
-> navigation || main masterlist
There’s no use for anything other than food and drink. Energy and hydration. This is not a life any longer but a task set into the callous hands of a man that had been far too young to understand the duty and devotion it would endlessly call for.
There is no use for anything but fuel for his body to carry him through the next battle, the next fight, the next weapon should his give out or bend to another’s.
He knows how to fight with his bare hands should that happen though he doesn’t prefer it. The shield of a weapon in his hands allows him to claim his killings and bloodshed are in the name of those he serves and not of his own volition.
But he sees in your eyes that it makes no difference. A slight thing hiding in the shadows as you watch and tally the use of steel, of bronze, or iron, and tar. Of the things to keep fired stoked high enough to burn them all down to liquid and mold to your orders of weapons to be forged.
He sees the disappointment each time he’s sent to you for collection, the way your eyes longer on the sword he had been gifted from the stash your father had kept for himself. His right as a weapon smith.
But it’s no longer your fathers like you are.
An aide to the efforts of entertainment and execution. Of punishment and pleasure.
He recognizes your sweat soaked body as it’s coated in grime and as it’s coated in the marks men leave on your skin.
He’s never taken the open ended offer up for himself. Only ever calling on you for the supplies you are to provide for the arena. He feels conflicted about how much demanded of you, both professionally and personally but he has no sway in making changes, in altering the life you’re to live.
Until the day he sees you in the arena, with a sword of your own in hand and a pack of wild cats circling you with snarling, snapping jaws. Their large claws swiping at you as if you are but a tiny play thing for them. A meal for them, entertainment for the public, and a punishment for you.
‘What is the meaning of this?’ He demands, voice booming as he enters the cordoned off section of seats. The balcony that just out further that the rest of them lining the walls of the arena.
‘She is proving the strength of her weapons. Too many have chipped and shattered in the last batch.’
He recalls the battle in which the man is referring to so casually. Placing the blame in your work when it had been nothing but devoted. The weapons had been as skillfully crafted as any others you provided, but they had been at a disadvantage in the hands of his men. Not due to lack of materials or skill but of what they had been up against.
Flails and lances, stronger weapons in the hands of those they faced didn’t negate the strength of yours. But now you were facing those ‘consequences’ right before his very eyes down in the pit.

Shoutout to every website and app that does a small tiny fun thing for a holiday like Halloween or Christmas and I am so sorry for every motherfucker with no joy in their soul who will complain about it.
#tumblr#Not specifically but just in general#idk if Tumblr will do anything specific for Halloween this year#Because every time they do ANYTHING fun at all#People will post “Oh yeah? Well what about THIS shitty thing your site does???? Are you still transphobic????”#And I think at some point the devs just lose the motivation to do anything fun at all and their hearts die a little#And it makes me sick to think about.#I appreciate your whimsy apps and websites#I thank you for making something small to make me a little bit happy

I think it'd be nice if in Genshin they added the main characters into the playable world- eg. seeing Amber at the Good Hunter, or finding Zhongli at the storyteller's place and being able to interact with them. Kinda hangout style except it's not a quest or anything major. Just a fun little interaction!
I think this would make for a more interactive and realistic experience. As you know, the players love their favourite character's greatly, and often complain about not having enough interactions with them, so I believe that making them occasionally appear outside of quests would be a great solution to that.
Here are some examples I've come up with:
- Diluc can be found on Mondstadt's city wall at night, and when you try to interact with him, he is very awkwardly trying to hide his Darknight Hero identity
- Lisa can be found in the KoF library sometimes, sipping tea and reading a romance novel, and when you interact with her, she invites you to read together
- Noelle can be found around the Favonius Headquarters performing her maidly duties, and when interacted with, she says she's quite busy but will try her best to aid you in any way she can
- Jean can be found in her office late at night, and when interacted with, you can try to coerce her into resting by doing some of her work for her
- Kaeya can be found walking around the streets of Mond at any time of the day, and when interacted with, he invites you for a walk together while gaining intel from the other residents
- Beidou can be found on the Alcor, and when interacted with, she sings sea shanties or offers to tell you of her adventures out at sea
- Ningguang can be found in the Jade Chamber in the early mornings, and when interacted with, she entertains you with a philosophical discussion and is amused by your responses
- Childe can be found around and about Liyue Harbor, and when interacted with, he ends up giving you mora to "buy yourself something nice"
- Thoma can be found at Komore Teahouse in the afternoons, and when interacted with, you receive consumable food thanks to his caring nature
- Sayu can sometimes be spotted in her barrel camouflage, and when you try to interact with her, she says bad inconspicuous things such as "I am just a normal barrel, no need to concern yourself with me"
- Yoimiya can be encountered when interacting with her father at Naganohara Fireworks, and when interacted with, she gives you fireworks and you set
#somebody put me on a game dev team#I have so many good ideas#not even necessarily for genshin just in general#genshin#genshin impact#Diluc#diluc ragnvindr#Lisa#lisa minci#noelle#jean#jean gunhildr#kaeya#kaeya alberich#beidou#ningguang#childe#tartaglia#thoma#sayu#yoimiya#naganohara yoimiya

I got a new au, A New Wishful Life
A bit of info underneath
A brief summery is that Timmy decides to stay nonexistent during the episode a wishful life. Jorgen decides to deal with the aftermath personally as all a fairy can do is make people forget that the person existed. Years later and Dev gets Peri, who was wished to be born by Chester, and it is revealed that a god kid cannot wish someone to never exist. Dev askes if one could wish someone back into existence and apparently one can. Dev wishes Timmy back into existence and they decide to pretend to be distant cousins. Peri becomes Dev's godparent a month before Hazel shows up and grants this wish two weeks before as well.
