Hello again, everyone! Here's what I got done this week:
- Added functionality and made a prototype animation to the wind elemental
- Made a prototype animation for the fox girl
- Began setting plans into motion for the 9 CG death scenes
I think the last few months may have caught up to me; I crashed pretty hard this week, bordering on burnout. There's a culmination of different things that are making it increasingly difficult for me to work on Run From Me....

Hello, everyone!
I just wanted to drop in really quick to let you know that starting now, all progress reports will become public one month after they've been out, unless they have images featuring nudity (as per Patreon's rules), which is admittedly a lot of them lately.
If you're in the "Friendly" tier, you'll still have access to progress reports 1 month early, as well as all posts featuring nudity. If you're a free member, you'll be able to see older posts now! ^_^

(Note: I switched to the prototype background for these gifs since the grass background makes gifs lag like crazy. The grass is still in the game, though!)

Hah... Hahaha! I DID IT! I SURVIVED!!!
Ladies and gentlemen, I made a (more or less) complete game in two weeks! Sure, there were a lot of features that I had to scrap in order to submit on time, but overall the game is quite well-polished!
As much as I'd like to give you guys the link, I used my real identity on the game and I'd prefer to keep the two worlds separate. ^^;
On the bright side, I've gotten a taste of what it means to work as fast as I can! If I was a video gam...

Hello everyone!
For the next two weeks, I'll be dedicating my focus to taking part in my very first game jam! I won't be giving many details as I'll be using my real identity to enter, but I'll let you guys know how I did after the fact! Progress on Run From Me will resume again immediately afterwards.
I apologize for the suddenness of this; it was sort of a spur of the moment decision, and I feel very compelled to give this a shot. Plus, I've already got a pretty promising idea w...

This week was a teensy bit rough, work-wise. ^^;

So... I was exporting the facial features into individual sprites, and I was so focused on enabling all of the layers that I'd failed to notice what was happening on the drawing side. When I looked back over, I saw THIS staring back at me!
Don't worry, though -- I'm fine! I only had to sacrifice my firstborn to her and now she's totally chill. :D
