(Tl;Dr at the end, important bits in bold.)
Hi everyone! RamblingDeviant here! Happy 2023! A year that we all hope things are finally not terrible! I'm definitely among that group.
I know it's been a while since I've posted anything. after the last post, I took a lot of time to actually rest and recover.
This post will be followed by another one for patrons, but I wanted to make a public one to follow up the last one.

Sorry everyone, this isn't the post I wanted to make.
I've been keeping this a secret for a while, and I still don't want to go too deep into it, but it's apparent now that it's lasting a lot longer than expected. Sometime back in late February/early March, I started becoming sick rather frequently. It started out as mild cold-like symptoms coming and going on a weekly basis, but has been escalating to full-body weakness and constant migraines, along with a mountain of other symptoms I...
Working on my new game gave me some time to think about where the story and overall development was going, and I realized a lot of what shut down my inspiration was not really enjoying where the story was going.
During a conversation about The Estate in the Discord server last week, I started talking about what I would do with the game now that I have a little more experience under my belt, both in Twine design and in writing. This conversation quickly evolved into "What would I change...
Here it is! This is the game I was talking about starting work on in an earlier post.
Lilin Life is an idea I've been sitting on since November, and I'm excited to finally have something come of it.
It's nowhere near being a finished product, and due to some recent health issues, it's not quite where I wanted it to be for this release, but I have made an effort to show at least some of the functionality of what's to come.
I hope you enjoy the beginning of a new story, ...
2021-05-20 17:27:56 +0000 UTC View PostThis was originally announced and posted on my Discord server. It has been modified and tailored to fit on Patreon, but all the same info is still here.
Tl;Dr: There's a lot to this post, so I implore you to read the whole thing. I'll cover as much as possible here.
I've lost my passion for writing The Estate. It's not cancelled, but it's no longer my main priority. I have potentially located a co-writer for the game. I'm hoping she can get star...

(Tl;Dr: Game code is busted, need to start from scratch, could take a while. I could move the story over as is, or take the chance to fix it and put more game in the game. Whatcha think?)

The Estate won't have a public release for January, and it's still very up in the air as to whether I'll even have something for Patreon.
The reason? I've hit a sinkhole. My ...
2021-01-08 23:35:56 +0000 UTC View PostUpdate: Problem solved. The update will be posted shortly.
Due to a game-breaking bug I discovered while doing a pre-upload runthrough, I had decided to delay the new version until this afternoon. If left unfixed, it would render 90% of the new content in Day 5 inaccessible.
Unfortunately, trying to fix it caused a never-ending avalanche of new bugs, so I'm going to have to delay the release while I work out how to solve this problem.
I apologize for the incon...
