october update

hello! it's october! september was really busy for me so this month i'm going to recuperate a bit by working on something i don't plan on releasing for a while - a visual novel made in naninovel for unity!! (check above images for how it's going 👀)

(here's a timelapse video of the background - i did a lot of mini changes as i drew it.)

i want to try making a BIG(ger) game than i usually do so i'm going to be working on this on and off - i don't expect to release it for like......at least a year......

but it's something i want to do so i hope you'll support me! and on that note... 

i signed up for the nintendo development portal and also ordered a switch devkit so that i can try to publish the game myself on the switch platform!!! this was really scary for me because it's a big investment (the devkit is not cheap) - but thanks to your support here i had the confidence to at least try. i previously released A HERO AND A GARDEN with a publisher, but i feel like i want to try self-publishing because i want more control over how things go. i will keep you all updated on how it goes, even if things don't pan out.

now, for my plans this month!

• working on unity game!!!
• post a 1-week sales/promotion post next week for A YEAR OF SPRINGS on steam
• making a game for the bitsy 5th anniversary jam if i have the energy
• prep A YEAR OF SPRINGS translation!
• if renpy 7.4.9 has a full release, release A YEAR OF SPRINGS for android (i've been waiting for android app bundle support)
• if renpy 7.4.9, update old android games to support

this month i won't be working on anything 'big' but it's a lot of behind-the-bonnet stuff. i really would like to release A YEAR OF SPRINGS for android too if the android app bundle stuff gets settled - while originally i didn't plan on it, i've had quite a few people asking me if i won't release it there as well.

i hope your octobers go well! 🎃
