THEY ARE SO POOKIES! I'M GOING TO EAT THEM. I'M SO HAPPY TO HAVE THEM HERE!

So uuuh, here's my second attempt at this post. Apparently, after I wrote the last one, tumblr decided to delete more than half of it. So... here's the second attempt of creating the productivity panopticon

The devlog 1[.1]!

Gonna drop every single attempt at being professional right here cuz this is gonna be more of a diary than anything.

So.... I made my character designs for both characters.

I made a flowchart for every single puzzle and choice (which I can't show)

I planned every single map in the game and took notes of where I want items and puzzles to be hidden

I made a fuckass clock to count time (great UI design. I know.)

And I finally tried some of the Parallax Mapping Pugins! Wooooow! I have things actually working.

Right now I have 3 maps that are actually walkable. I'm gonna put together the rest and and then I'll start creating events.

After that It's just a matter of creating more graphics.

I'll leave sound design and post production until after this is all done because I'm not that good with music and mixing. Upsie.

I'm also ignoring character sprites, animations and portraits for now. Not gonna finish this anytime soon. But it'll get done. Hopefully.

(And hopefully tumblr doesn't delete this this time)

About the game itself... well,

It's supposed to he about you surviving a murder attempt by your hot wife. Simple, toxic and hella gay. Just how I like it.

I'd elaborate, but honestly, I don't feel like writing everything again just so Tumblr can decide to glitch on me and delete everything.

So... this is it for now. I'll post more stuff from time to time. It's healthier to scream into the tumblr void than to bang my head against the nearest wall whenever something doesn't work.

What's your favorite Ryoshu ID? :>

Oooooh hard to say. Every single Ryoshu is my favourite Ryoshu. Let me make an ID tier list

First. They are all S Tier. But allow me to explain my choices

Starting on Hold hands tier

Seven Ryoshu- She looks lovely, I just can't find a use for her in any of my teams so I haven't gotten as attached to her as I have to other IDs. I still love her tho. She's the coffee shop AU Ryoshu.

Warp Ryoshu- I use Warp shu a LOT. She was one of the first truly good IDs I got and has been carrying me ever since. I just don't find her as conceptually interesting as other IDs. She's simply a version of herself that is constantly free to give into her base instincts and violent tendencies.

I love you tier

Liu Ryoshu- It is no secret that I find Liu Ryoshu extremely sexy. And that is just one of the reasons why I like her. It's fun to imagine what kind of interactions she would have with the Ishmael and Rodya of that mirror world.

Yurodivy Ryoshu- The hottest things a woman can be is: deranged and a communist.

Chef Ryoshu- Chef Ryoshu is a really fun ID. Just like warp, it's an ID where she's even more enabled than base Ryoshu but I find the tone of it immensely comedic simply because of her complete inability to cook. I like to imagine that it takes a dozen tries before one pie eventually comes out right.

Sweet awful princess tier

Base Ryoshu- Base Ryoshu is the Ryoshu that made this all possible. I just adore her to bits in ways I can't explain. She's such a fun twist on the edgelord lonewolf starving artist gone mad archetypes all in one.

LCCB Ryoshu- I wrote a whole fanfic about this one. Naturally, I've grown attached to her to an unnatural degree, even if I don't actually use her that much in game. Besides being straight-up adorable, gun shu is very interesting under a narrative microscope. She's way more calm and obedient, and I think that is caused by her not being as close and personal with her art.

Kurokumo Ryoshu: She's the first Ryoshu ID I ever got. I used her for a long time because I was SO HAPPY that I finally had one ID of her. Again, very violent ID, but there's so much room to imagine what it would be like for the Gang of idiots to interact. Besides, her design is just gorgeous. I want more tattooed IDs for her.

Maid Ryoshu: This ID is really an outlier among all the others. It's Ryoshu's kindest self, but without losing what makes her Ryoshu. She's still scary, violent and strong, but it really shows that even she can be caring. Before TKT it was one of the few things we could point to to demonstrate that she wasn't just a one note character (since not everyone reads the source material). Also I made a really... really silly bet with one of my friends because of her and I don't know what I'm gonna do now.

Thanks for asking :D

Writing PM fanfic is so fucking weird. Sometimes you'll look up the most minor of details and there's walls of lore related to it that you need to take into account, and other times you'll ask "What's up with the fucking Outskirts train?" and the answer will just be vague gesturing and Nhyeeeeeeeee.

[ryoshudoodles]

Have you read Hell screen the book that Ryōshū base on?

Short answer: Yeah!

Long answer: I'm on the quest to read every book the sinners are based on. So far I've read: the Metamorphosis, Crime and Punishment, Moby Dick, Wuthering Heights, Hellscreen, the Odyssey and Faust.

Since Hellscreen is pretty short I just keep a pdf on my phone and read whenever I'm bored or when I need to check a detail for a drawing or writing project. But I am planning to get a physical copy one day.

So... I have lost count of how many times I read Hellscreen until this point.

[ryoshudoodles]

If Ryōshū gets a new I.D what do you want the new I.D to be?

Oh shit. Let me think about this for a bit Mx. Ayin.

So, besides Shi Ryoshu and R Corp Ryoshu (which I think we all want at some point) maybe Musicians of Bremen.

Margarete for Faust's Canto, if I'm allowed to be a bit self indulgent.

And the big one would be Horikawa for sure. I think that one is a given unless it goes to farmwatch jail.

Currently planning an outline for another multichapter fic since I'm done writing and editing the last one. Rediscovering the joy of playing dolls with my pookies.

Anyway, the next one is probably going to be about the 3 Liu IDs. I really want to try writing Rodya and Ishmael too.

My merch has arrived but I'm stuck at work. This is homophobia

[laniakeart]

So... something fucking weird happened with my last post and I just noticed now... one week later

I wrote 20 more paragraphs about character designs and ideas and Tumblr just... erased all of that? For no fucking reason.

So that's why people were asking me about it....

God.... shame.
