dev diary: what if i just make starry flowers 2 right now

NEW MV: good intentions (feat. kasane teto)

this vid went live this morning, but i was busy with other work until this evening and didn't get the files together until now... sorry about that! (feels like i'm always late with stuff nowadays...)

the song has been well-received so i'm really happy~ it gives me courage to continue making more... especially more teto songs, this is only the second one i've gotten to do hehe.

Trick Comes Home: Part 2 - early release (incomplete)

THIS IS... not ALL of chapter 8 part 2. there is ONE MORE SECTION, but i ran out of time before i could make it. the reason is... i spent a lot of time on sidequests, and the setpiece at the end of this build. but i'm very proud of what's here, so i'm happy to share it!!!!!!

i'm going to be pretty busy next month, so i'm scheduling the public build for JANUARY 12TH. hoping i can make it... because if i delay, it'll end up taking a really long time and i don't want that....

patron Q&A!

ask me questions. i will answer them.

i'm planning to open asks on my site after the treat update is out (GETTING CLOSE NOW) but since it's christmas i'm gonna relax a little bit and do something fun (ok working on treat is fun too tho)

the one thing i'm not sure about is whether i want to just respond in comments or make a new post with all the questions/answers in one place... i guess i can do both.

READY SET GO

another piece of candy - the next 3 months of comics

i went a little wild the other day drawing all of these. i switched brushes again (gotta stay fresh!) and i was too lazy to write out the text so i made a new font instead. i like it a lot, but i'm still adjusting the characters a little bit. i'll put it on my website when it's ready.

[spoilers] i hope having drop is a good consolation prize for pastille bowing out. will he ever return?!?!?? find out next year...

hey guys! sorry for the lack of updates. because this lack of updates will probably continue through the end of the year, i paused the campaign so no one will be charged during this time.

i'm doing well. i've been working on a lot of things lately, but i can't share any of them. this is frustrating for me, since i prefer to be transparent... what's also frustrating is the new features patreon keeps shoving in my face, about growing the audience and trying to wring more money out of the ...
