Morning Comes

By Stria on AO3

The stranger gestures at what they’re wearing, and oh, it’s not a shirt, it’s a white crop top, black lettering star against it. It says I ♡ SUBMISSIVE MEN in bold, capital letters.

hi!! every year in the fall i go on a horror/halloween movie marathon until halloween, and this time around i need some movie / show recommendations :)

behind the scenes, shots, and trinkets from bones and all

recently finished the bones and all novel by camille deangelis and i recommend it to anyone who likes poetry and themes of womanhood.

the movie is definitely different from the novel, cutting subplots and such, but it definitely feels like two interesting stories. imagining timothee chalamet as lee when i visualized his character in the novel was a treat ❤️

Year End Review again? No problem! 👍 2023 edition!

I really liked the artist wrapped template I used last year so I just corrected the year and did some fun color edits, I dunno if the original artist remade a new one or anything but here's the link I had from that! And of course the monthly choices! It's been a year (we moved!) so some months were sparse, but you know! It's all fun!

You can see all these and more in my art tag! [Monthly Full View]

Fowl Manor, Artemis' office

Artemis straightening a pile of papers on his desk.

Artemis: Thank you for joining me today everyone, for your yearly employee review.

Insert collective sigh

Artemis: Juliet, why dont we begin with you. If you could please stop signing your emails with "Fowl Manor, WWE Wrestler Jade Princess Headquarters" that would be very helpful. If anything it would stop the stalkers from trying to enter the premises and being *ahem* dealt with by Butler.

Juliet: But that's why I do it.

Artemis: Please. Stop.

Now on to Butler. You're doing great. I'm still alive despite the incident with the anthrax last week.

Butler: That was your anthrax.

Artemis: I cannot confirm nor deny that.

And finally, Mulch. I don't know why you're here. You're not on my paylist. Please stop squatting in the basement.

Mulch: Hmm you drive a hard bargain, mudman, but no.

Dev Diaries

November 2, 2024

Let this be the last time I write this update so I can friggin POST IT!! 🤣

Since we last chat, a few things have happened, so here's a recap:

You can preview Langston and Ryan's game 2 routes!!! (Happy Anniversary to my first game child)

HSD artist is wrapping up on the requested sprites for the next update. That goes live.... Sunday February 2, 2025!

I finished the first draft of Ryan's route. Yeah. Wild. The hardest part of writing (for him) is over. Also I like opening up the document and staring at it to make sure it's real and not just a figment of my imagination. Langston bby we're coming for you next!!

We're on Bluesky?! Yeah lol I meant to say something sooner. I have no idea how I'll treat that platform yet, but we're there!

Loved VN

Now setting aside the bullet points for a moment, we'll touched briefly on the #LovedVN project. There's been a sliiiiiight delay art wise on that front, and honestly, it's anyone's guess if it'll come out this year--I opened the project file a few days ago, and marveled at how much is still not done. That's on me and my bony shoulders. Like I haven't even commissioned the key art yet! 😔

Future Projects

There's an idea I'm holding close to my chest only because it's still more abstract than concrete, and I won't be working on it until Loved is finished and playable. There is also a different project that almost saw the light of day, and I wanna talk about it.

The Josei After Dark game jam came and went and I seriously entertained submitting something. The Afro Jam also came and went, and this was supposed to be a two-for one idea...I recruited my sibling for the character sprite. I sat down and made 4 music tracks because I knew there was a specific sound I wanted, and I did not have specific sound money. I had a placeholder UI with the intention of either recruiting someone after the jams or finally rolling up my sleeves and adding bare bones UI design to my developer toolbox.

Well. We didn't make either deadline LOL! I decided to shelve it. But tbh, I had too much fun writing this script to keep it out of sight.

placeholder bg + placeholder UI teehee

Not so secret thing about me, stories typically come to me when I can't find it in the media I consume. And because HBG projects are free to play for the foreseen future, I'm the prominent player I'm trying to impress, so I make games for me and then hope other people like them too.

This project is called Oh, Boy. It's another bite size game with seven endings!! I had to make a guide for because as I was playtesting I was getting confused and missing my own endings! Anyhoo, I have plans for this one, so more details to come in a future dev diaries or a regular post!

And that's all folks! Gemini out 🫶🏾

am I wild to drop this at the VERY end?? under the cut?? no, not at all
