Good afternoon, Fridaynauts. I hope your new year is going well. A really busy week, but I will still always write the Friday Rambles for you, my dear patron of the arts.
I attempted to draw some of the 100 OCs I promised I'd draw, but it took a long time and I had other things to do, so I posted this Medibang screenshot on Bluesky to kinda let people kn...
2026-01-16 20:38:52 +0000 UTC View PostGood afternoon, Fridaynauts. It was the first full work week of the new year. Keeping busy, I hope. In a good way, of course.
My new Hobonichi Techo has been getting a lot of use, both because I had many things to do and because I'm feeling kinda creative. At the end of the day I doodle a small ink doodle on the page to sort of sum it up. It's a fun thing to do.
The photos look terrible because of the tiny size and I have to crop out a bunch of personal ...

Happy New Year, Fridaynauts!! It's a fresh start. Everything is A-OK now. And I'm on time, too! So far so good.
In between the last Ramble and this one, a lot of game websites and individual people published their GOTY lists online, and I was delighted to see that Endless Monday: Dreams and Deadlines was featured 2026-01-02 22:29:41 +0000 UTC View Post
Good afternoon, Fridaynauts. Hope you are having a good holiday season.
It's not Friday! It's actually, Monday, December 29, 2025. This is the last Friday Ramble of the year, on this last Monday of the year, and we're going out with a delayed bang.
The past week was busy with holiday stuff. Friendsmas, Familymas, Other Friendsmas, and so on. Not a lot of business stuff happened, obviously. Also, I already did my year in review with the last ramble, so t...
2025-12-29 20:17:39 +0000 UTC View PostGood afternoon, Fridaynauts. It is the penultimate Friday Ramble of 2025.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the years. And thank you to the new patrons as well! Love you all. Hope you stick around for another year >:)
I filled out the annual Summary of Art for 2025. Not bad. I actually had something for each month this time around.

There were a lot of real life interruptions and obligations this week that kept me from doing as much work on Game 2 as I would have liked, but game dev is slowly happening.
I wrote a bunch of dialogue, and I got some coding...
2025-12-13 03:13:47 +0000 UTC View PostGood evening, Fridaynauts. It's the first Friday Ramble of the last month of 2025. As autumn wanes, and winter begins its silent arrival, I get yet another cold. Not as bad this time around, though. Stay healthy, everyone.
Starting to get busy with holiday stuff, and work life balance is tipping over to the life part. Not that it was all that deep in the work part to begin with.

It's the last Friday Rambles of November, and it's on a Saturday, for once.
It was the Thanksgiving holiday this week. I just got home from being busy with people, places, and things. I'm full of turkey and cranberries. And I'm thankful for you, the patron of the arts.

It's the third Friday Ramble of November. Let's go.
I have recovered from my seasonal upper respiratory infection, and was able to take my cool new bag outside for a walk. I walk to the post office whenever I have orders to ship, and it's been nice having a cool new bag for carrying them. Unfortunately it also rained most days of the week so I couldn't take my cool new bag out as much as I would have liked. Oh well...

Open enrollment for health insurance is going on, and in completely unrelated news, I offer a wide variety of goods for sale on my merchandise shop and Steam storefront.

2025-11-15 03:07:54 +0000 UTC View PostIt's the first Friday of November. Spooky season is over, and now it's Christmas season. It's not too early to put up a tree yet, I guess. I'm the type to put one up in late December and then keep it there until, like, March, though.
I got some real gamedev done this week. A cool new bag changes everything, as they say. I put my laptop in my cool new bag and took it to places, where I would plop down and write a bunch of brainstorm words and dialogue....
2025-11-07 20:58:12 +0000 UTC View PostIt's the spooky Friday Rambles for Halloween 2025.
That being said, I didn't draw anything for Halloween. Oh no!
excusesThis week was spent actually doing game dev work. The irony about doing a lot of game dev work is that I don't have a lot of other stuff to talk about. I can try going through a list of things I did, though. A ThingDid List if you will.
It's the Friday Friday Rambles, not early, not late. Right on time.
October is almost over! Where has the year gone! Where is Game 2??
Valve made a new landing page on Steam that shows up for "Steam Deck Verified" games and it looks pretty cool.
As for Game 2, I started writing dialogue, just so I can have something down to rewrite later. If I don't have ...
2025-10-25 02:22:26 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, I'm finally back home and I'm two rambles behind. I'm just going to catch up with a single post instead of sending out a bunch of emails for no reason. Sorry. If you're still here, please know that I love and appreciate you.
I'm back at the ol' office and recovering from jetlag and also a cold. But it's time to get some real work done again.
I built and released 2.0.6b. It adds a new button to the settings screen.
Quite possibly the latest Friday Ramble ever, considering we've already passed another Friday after this one, but I'll be darned if I don't keep my commitment to rambling every Friday. So, it's the Wednesday, October 8 Friday Ramble for Friday, September 26.

A lot of stuff went on this week too, so the Ramble continued to get delayed, but that's for tomorrow's Friday Ramble.
I went traveling on a family vacation, and actually had zero time for any work. All I can say about that is that I ate so much food. So much food. The...

Mostly busy with family things this week, but I found time to do some work. I approved the final version of a merch thing. It rules. I can't wait for it to be released into the world.
This week contained a Cirno Day! That's right, I partook in a little tradition I have never missed since 2020, drawing a picture of Cirno Touhou Project for 9/9.
It's the first Saturday Friday Ramble of September. I'm traveling, so I don't really have a lot of game dev stuff going on... I'm gonna try to make up for it by having some exclusive content or whatever.
I'm in Seoul and I ate food.
I ate lots of food. I took full advantage of the fact that eating out doesn't cost an entire day's wages. At least with the cur...

It's the fifth and final Friday Ramble of August 2025. It's actually Saturday here, but it's still Friday in California.
Also, apparently it's the 200th Ramble. Yowza. That's a lot of words.
I did work! By work I mean I went to a monthly indie dev meetup in Seoul. That's right! I went to the August edition of Seoul Indies.
It's the Monday August 25, 2025 Friday Ramble for August 22, 2025.
I'm traveling, it's half for work and half for family stuff. I'm mostly settled in now at my destination, but it was a hectic few days. It's very hot here. It was also hot where I was, but it feels like another level here with the humidity and all that. Of course, I also caught a cold, so that's pretty hot, too. Anyway, back to trying to work. But maybe I should take it easy. Which I mostly did....

It's the third Friday Ramble of August. Wow! Time flies when you're not doing anything at all.
Over the weekend I watched a VOD of Dreams and Deadlines and the game crashed once in a specific situation and I was like, I gotta fix that. Luckily I was able to reproduce it (the game crashed when exiting Lumber Lass while logs were flying in the air, but only when playing from the Title Screen). It was an easy fix and I pushed out 2.0.6a for Endless Monday: Dreams...

Ticket purchases opened up for Tokyo Game Show, so I applied for a Business Days pass. I was a bit worried that I might not get a ticket due to IDK not being a real Game Business or whatever (even though I actually am) but anyway... I was allowed to buy a ticket without any issues so now I'm officially going to Tokyo Game Show 2025 during the Business Days, like a real Games Business. Maybe next year I'll be exhibiting something.

I set a hard deadline for myself for releasing a Steam page and trailer for Game 2. While I'm confident I'll meet it, I won't be announcing it here quite yet, because it turns out I'm not actually that confident after all.
Last week I mentioned that I made a bit of a story breakthrough after a long period of writer's block. But this post isn't about that, it's about a minigame I'm Skye is putting ...

I'll be honest, I've been going through a bit of a creative block, but I think I've finally made a bit of a breakthrough. I thought of the premise I want to explore for Game 2, and started writing the different storylines that'll be happening in it. But how it happened was I got frustrated enough trying to make a bad premise good that I decided I was just going to make "Endless Monday: Not a Sequel" and do...

Final tally has us with 548 sold, which was more than I was hoping for. And Makeship sent me my cut the day after the campaign ended, which is like, really fast. They've always been great to work with, honestly.
