march update!
Added 2023-03-03 01:54:48 +0000 UTChello! it's march, which is also my last month of working at my current job before going freelance/indie...! so it's very very busy with various things.
here's my plans for the month:
- releasing douzine issue 1 next week on 3/10! douzine's my side project where i showcase doujin/indie games from japan in a bundle because there are a lot of cool games here & i want more people to know about them. the games in #1 are all very very exciting & i translated one fresh for the zine so i hope you'll all enjoy!
- A TAVERN FOR TEA release!!! this is planned for 3/24 but i still have so much to do to make the game actually releasable, so this is where the bulk of my dev time will go!
- also i'll be including A TAVERN FOR TEA and A HERO AND A GARDEN in the storyteller's festival on steam (see image above)! i want to do a little music stream for A HERO AND A GARDEN with the endless mode tracks buuut that depends a lot on how quickly i finish A TAVERN FOR TEA because that takes priority...
i'll also be participating in an online round table about indie/doujin games! the zoom meeting itself is next week on monday but i don't know if this is being streamed live? or shared afterwards? i have had very little information about it actually, so i will let you know when i find out more... the stream will be in japanese but i think there may be spanish subtitles? (everything is a mystery to me still so i really have no more info to share, sorry! i'll share a link if there is one...)
separately i'll also be dealing with various tax things while i figure out how to leave my job... it'll be the first time in my adult life when i'm not employed by somebody and i'm getting pretty nervous! (i also just got a letter from the tax office yesterday which let me know i'd filed something wrong & only just got it fixed this morning... i still have a lot to learn about taxes.)
excited to get to the end of this month & end my job though to start my new gamedev journey with you all in april (:

2023-03-04 23:49:56 +0000 UTCMARCH SHALL BE QUITE A MONTH, between A TAVERN FOR TEA's Steam release and the freelance indie dev situation... Hopefully it's as calm but productive as it can be!!! A NEW DOUZINE IS SUPER EXCITING THOUGH!!! Looking forward to getting ISSUE 1, the sequel to Issue 0, pff. I'm sure it's got some cool as hell games on it!!! And it's great to see Douzine continuing!!! Very cool concept. Love it. Hoping for all the best with the preparations and subsequent release of A TAVERN FOR TEA, as well!!! It's a really nice little game full of ultimately happy/sweet vibes, and the epilogue will surely be beloved, too!!! I wasn't actually aware that the game's in the same universe as A HERO AND A GARDEN, but..... I LOVE THAT!!! And it, of course, fits perfectly with the vibes between the two games...!!! Very cool that those two games are being included in the Storyteller's Fest!!! Hopefully you manage to do the music stream, but, if not, such is the unpredictable world we live in, I suppose!!! Still cool it's being included either way (and gosh that art's cute as hell, what the.) ALSO VERY COOL TO BE A PART OF A ROUND TABLE DISCUSSION LIKE THAT!!! Wonder if the vibes would match up with, say, Indiepocalypse, though I suppose I may not know either way if it doesn't get English subtitles (perhaps in the future!!!) Still, even with obscure details, it sounds cool!!! Hopefully it's a fruitful and enjoyable event, whether it gets shared, streamed, or whatever the heck!!! AND OF COURSE......... tax season sure is a thing, pft. But, we shall survive.... THEY WON'T KEEP US DOWN. NOT ON THIS MONTH OF MARCH!!! Hopefully it's. as previously said, as calm and productive as possible!!! GANBA WITH EVERYTHING!!!
