The first Friday Rambles of the month, and the first Friday Rambles since whatever this new Patreon branding is.
The weird new logo and corporate mission aside, the new text editor is certainly not very good. I don't know why the text is so small. I don't know why the entire textbox flickers every time I change where the cursor is. Really good "creator" "experience."
In the meantime, there doesn't seem to have been any improvements to make up for it, like captions for images, or b...

It's the last Friday Ramble of the month. It's October in 2 days!
Well, so, it's pretty clear I won't be done with the Halloween update by Halloween, so I'm postponing it to later.

And since it's stupid to release a Halloween update after Halloween, I'm going to be reworking the story to something else, which is gre...

A new Friday, a new Rambles!
Last week I was feeling pretty bummed after having abandoned my Game 2 idea. But after I posted my Friday Rambles, I skimmed through all my previous Rambles because I was feeling nostalgic after having done 100 of them. I talked about jogging a lot in my Rambles, but stopped about 4 months ago... So, for old times' sake, I went out for a run that evening, and, like 5 minutes after I started jogging, I realized what I want to do for Game 2. It's amazing what ...

It's Friday, and it's the Rambles. I'm on time, hopefully. When I started writing this as of right now, it's still Friday. Edit: I was late, sorry
As I talked about last week, I started on a new game idea, and spent this week developing the prototype to see if it has potential as a full-on game.

New Month New Me. New Ramble!
It's Labor Day Weekend (at least here in the States) and that means... absolutely nothing for me because I don't get paid holidays anymore! But I hope you're getting some rest at least.
It's already September that means... it's officially the one year anniversary of the Endless Monday Monthly! And the 9th monthiversary since I stopped making them in favor of starting a foolhardy2023-09-01 20:24:19 +0000 UTC

It's the Friday Ramble for August 25, 2023. The 97th Weekly Ramble.
I made some progress with the EMDnD Autumn Content Update. Still only able to work a couple hours a day, but I wrote a bunch of words and drew a bunch of sprites. The sprites are meant to be a big surprise, so I'm not going to post them here, but yeah, at least something got done this week.
Anyway, I need to hurry up and finish this so I can move on and make Game 2: The Second One. I have so many ideas I want to e...

it's friday ramble
I'm busy writing a lot. I wrote a lot this week. It's all writing for video game. I've officially started the real work on adding the new Epilogues Update to Endless Monday Dreasm and dEdld.
The visual novel fest is over, and the game did about as well as i had hoped. i'm also hoping that it reaches the 500 review barrier by the autumn sale, so that it can have the nice "overwhelmingly positive" rating. in the meantime, i'm working on the game, still.

It's Friday, and that means the Friday Rambles. It's weird, because it feels like Friday came a little faster this week. I guess that's what happens when the last Friday Rambles is on Monday.

I was able to start doing a few hours of work each day starting this week. It's still a super limited time, but hey, now I'm actually feeling a little productive, for once.
I pushed out a hotfix for Endless Monday: Dreams and Deadlines, which fixes a few bugs. The game is so full of spaghetti code it's almost impossible to ...

I want to work, though. I'm tired of not working. I've been busy not working for 2 months. Let me work! Work is Not da poop, when I need to work to make game and make money!

Game Dev
Not really much game dev stuff to talk about. I fixed a few Japanese text formatting errors that I saw while lurking in a few streams of people playing the game, nothing serious or anything most people would even notice unless they were me. I've actually fixed a lot of little bugs and typos that way over the past couple months lol.

Well, well, well, if it isn't the Monday Night Friday Rambles. Hello again.
Guess what? The Japanese localization is now out. And everyone gets a 10% discount on top of that! What a cool deal, especially if you've been waiting for the Japanese localization of the hot new indie game sensation: Endless Monday: Dreams and Deadlines.

I've been busy with the same stuff I've been busy with for the past few weeks, so not a lot to say, again. PS: Happy late Father's Day.

Oh yeah! One of the things I was excited about was finally announced, in the form of a VTuber schedule. Take a look see:

I actually got a lot of work done, despite being pretty busy with family and real life stuff. I traveled and did a lot of shopping. Still haven't played the new Zelda.
What gamedev work I was able to get done was mostly focused on JP localization, Mac build, and fixing the stupid effects code, for which I found even more bugs. But now the Mac build is all fixed, and I've also actually gotten the effects code working better overall tha...

I got a lot of writing and art done for the story on Monday. Then fate decided that I'd spend the rest of the week stuck in bed. Caught a sickness I did. Anyway I'm still physically feeling crappy so this is all I'm going to write for this week's rambles. I'd feel crappy about losing a week of work to this too but honestly what's the point? I'm just focused on resting and getting better. Hopefully the extended time away will give me more inspiration if/wh...
