thanks for looking <3
2024-01-31 19:00:45 +0000 UTC View Postface art is still unfinished, but this is the very next scene after the end of ch8 part 1!!!! it's a flashback to BABY TRICK!!!!!!! THEY'RE SO TINY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'm obsessed. but more importantly, you get your first taste of what myrrh is like! omg!!
not much else to say this week since i've just been working on new sprites/tiles and scripting events :) enjoy the quick cutscene!!!!

since i've mostly been doing comics this month i don't have anything FRESH to share, so instead i will introduce some upcoming characters for chapter 8 part 2!
first is GRENADINE! she's a human (wow) and an alchemist (like syrup?!) and she lives in agaricus (from the postcard!) ...meaning, yes, the author that basmati and co mentioned hearing about was actually her and not trick's master. we're gonna spend a little while trying to get information out of her :) it'll give phoenix some ti...
2024-01-22 23:29:24 +0000 UTC View Posthey, so! i finished that starry flowers comic like, instantly!!! i was planning on sharing more finished pages and the cover here like i did with mirror call but uhhh now it’s up, so there’s no reason to! maybe releasing the first half of treat 8 cleared my mind and that’s why i could suddenly do it… maybe i’m just in an upswing… i felt like i went into fever mode haha, i’m so ...

a switch clicked in my brain and i haven't stopped working on this since. looking back at when i posted the rough versions, i was overly optimistic about when i would finish... BUT THIS TIME I'M CONFIDENT!!!!!!
so the current release date is... LATER THIS MONTH. currently sitting at 4/16 pages completely finished, with the rest about halfway done. i am posting progress on a new side page on c...

chalkboard aesthetic this year! i guess i used to write percentages for how close things were to being done, but these projects are all kinda at the starting line... at least for the parts i'm working on.....
i'm feeling pretty nebulous about the order i wanna tackle these in too. i wonder how things will turn out 6 months from now...? what i choose to focus on depends on my mood, so i guess we'll see how it goes! (i really wanna get that starry flowers comic done!!!)
last art post of the year! wahoo!!
just finished putting these together!! the pdf is 13 pages this time.
hope you enjoy my commentary!!! (and the songs! yay!)
2023-12-30 01:23:23 +0000 UTC View Postwaaaaa trick comes home (part 1) released today!!! so happy i could update the game before the end of the year!!!!

PART

LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOTE: you will need the RPGMaker VX Ace RTP installed to run this build!! the public release will be a standalone download so you won't have to worry about this later, it just inflate the filesize a ton to export it that way so i prefer to build without RTP when i do test builds... (all the con...

the next round of makeship plushies are coming!!!!!!!! i asked them to do the campaign in february so they can be a valentines thing <3
the only thing is that in person maiden seems oddly bigger than overlord, kinda reversing their canon size difference... but i kinda love that too.... they look so sweet together.
if these two reach their funding goal i was thinking of doing hero and tragedy next! i'm a little worried about running them at the same time since people might only ...
2023-12-18 23:06:52 +0000 UTC View Postfirst things first: i’m posting art on my old art blog again! i spent an evening redoing my theme and drawing a new icon for myself, and i’ve been posting photosets of old fan art and of course original stuff from my games.
i stopped using tumblr in 2018, and i thought i would never go back (aside from the private art archive i made and shared with you guys previously), but yeah it feels pretty nice to be shar...
2023-12-11 18:49:20 +0000 UTC View Posti might change the title later but yeah, here's the latest treat song!!! i really like this one, which is good because it plays during a long cutscene...
i had planned to write a dev diary this week, but i got caught up in writing a public post that i'm still deciding whether to actually post. i guess if i decide not to put it on cohost i will put it here on patreon. this is beside the point. gonna try to get the new treat build done in the next couple weeks!!!! wish me luck!!!!!!!!!! 2023-12-04 17:52:30 +0000 UTC View Post
i drew a bunch this time but it was mostly one guy!! oops!!!!
i shared the rough versions of some of these previously, but the vinegar ones are new :) i feel very refreshed after taking that hiatus, really excited to start updating the comic again!!!

something a little different this week. i went to kumoricon over the weekend (just as a plain old attendee, not tabling or anything!) and i wanted to draw some diary comics to commemorate the experience. i didn't mention online anywhere that i was going because i didn't want to meet anyone this time, but maybe someday i will be less anxious about that kind of thing!
below is just rambling in more detail about how the con went. no game updates this time--still working on treat tho! i don...

i was on vacation last week so i only have a screenshot for you guys today. (basmati's not in here, but her friends saffron and sesame are!)
omg so happy i finally finished the new tiles for this PLOT house... i'll probably edit a little more (i want to cover the corkboard in random papers and red string lol) but im happy with the layout. there's even a ladder! how fun!!!
for those who played the WIP build, this was the place chapter 8 cuts off. now i can write the rest of it for ...

idk if words can properly express the level of intensity i have felt this past week working on this game, so i drew a self portrait
i went from "oh god how am i going to finish the first part of chapter 8 AND bad end 1 before the end of the year like i promised?!" to "ok face art DONE, i know what should happen in bad end 2 so what if i just start it now? haha oops i scripted so much! gotta get further with bad end 1... HAHA OOPS IT'S DONE NOW"
so...
things are going extreme...
2023-11-06 19:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post
hahahha guess what!!!!!!!!!! the first bad ending is finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you can't get any further in chapter 8 than last time, but the bad ends are turning out to be the length of a full chapter anyway. so this is like, a significant update!!!
reminder: you will need rpgmaker vx ace RTP to run the download: 2023-11-06 06:31:54 +0000 UTC View Post
just a few things this month, but this time it's because i was busy drawing a bunch of treat assets instead!
i've been doing a lot of work on treat this past week!!!!!!! i wanted to share the finished npc faces from krem since there's so many characters :) enjoy!!!
2023-10-30 18:55:49 +0000 UTC View Postlast week i made a pretend radio station filled with my songs!! it uses the same code (and some assets) from Sex Advice Succubus' music player, which i wrote about in a previous dev diary. it took about a day to put together, so now i'm gonna talk about why i decided to make it!
i'm in the process of moving my music off of bandcamp and onto itchio, and there are actually some fun tools for this (like scritch!) but instead of using that i thought i could just make one with ren'py and have a lot more control over the aesthetic and various features...
unfortunately the web build for this DIDN'T WORK!!!!! so i will either have to wait for ren'py web to improve (it's still in beta) or i w...

it's technically monday here so i'm just going ahead and posting these!!!!!! cw for casual drinking.
i'll be honest, i was having a crisis this morning because i had nothing to post for you guys and couldn't bring myself to sit down and draw. so i decided to go ahead and share the unfinished version of my next starry flowers comic (at least the sfw part lol)
the date on these thumbnails is 10/25/22, which means it's almost been a full year since i thought of this story and i haven...
2023-10-16 09:03:34 +0000 UTC View Postthis post is gonna be firmly in the diary side rather than game updates, so i'll summarize where i'm at development-wise first:
hey sorry i'm late with this postmortem! this was a whirlwind of a game jam so i'm gonna do my best to remember everything that happened in order!!
jummbus, our usual programmer, was busy traveling over the weekend and couldn't participate in the jam. i was a little worried about taking on the coding helm myself since september had been pretty hectic for me, and there's a lot of limitations as to what kinds of games i can actually make because i really only ...
