Oh shit lol, I didn't realize I hadn't posted an update in a whole month.
Uh... the start of October was a bit rough for me for a whole host of reasons, but I've more than picked up steam since.
I'm pretty sure I'm missing a few days here and there because I made this with a quick Discord search for my timestamps instead of adding to this at the end of each workday (for instance, I know I never made my timestamps when I was mak...

Howdy hey folks!
The art editing is nearly done. All that's left is cleaning up a handful of Zoey's expressions (I'm a bit over 75% done with that), more minor edits to the background to polish it, final checks for things like color flats escaping outlines, and the admittedly daunting process of fixing how Keisuke looks and the laborious process of exporting everything into flattened PNGs, but after that I can finally fucking write again.

Howdy folks! My energy level is all over the place as of late! I am very hyperactive at this moment and am really not used to that given the last year of exhaustion so I'm making a progress report because I doubt I can get any constructive work done, but honestly, I'm kind of sick of existing as a performative art of dramatic irony to say nothing about being a living allegory of dualism!
Anyways, speaking of that work... I've been polishing up the art for the Keisuke swimming pool sex s...

Hey hey people, CaptainCaption here.
Today, we'll be talking about how I'm eventually going to run out of YouTubers to take intro bits from, but more importantly, stuff about this visual novel.
First, this very-NSFW-do-not-open-this-in-public design document for the next HCG set is done (after losing half a week to unexpectedly extra-bad nausea a...

Hi. Let's talk about why the recently released update took almost an entire year.
But first, I need to make something clear: this will not be CaptainCaption's therapy hour or even the shouting cave of venting to my echo. I'm aware that I overshare myself in a very personal way and from that bear some responsibility for leaving the infrastructure of pipelines for others forming parasocial attachments toward me that are harmful for everyone involved, and I'm on very high a...

*A recent engine update with Ren'Py is preventing me from compiling the game and I can't downgrade the SDK as it breaks the script but in a different way.

Hey y'all,
Yes, I am still recovering from the mono I got a bit over 5 months ago.
It's finally been on the mend since mid/late February, but my energy levels are still unpredictable and my memory has been full of a worrying amount of holes.
I'm in a good-enough place mentally that I have still kept writing down ideas and snippets of outlines for the visual novel (which you can check out as pinned spoiler messages in the the #redreamer-chat channel of the VN's ...

There's not much to report. The mono felt like it was on a bit of a rebound, but then the hormone cycle kicked off and the fatigue was just so much worse. I've been entirely confined to bed for the majority of the two weeks since the last update and it's a complete gamble for any given day if I'll be able to stay up for more than a few hours.
This is pretty miserable and I just really want to be healthy enough again to write.

I hesitated writing this, but I'm going to take a risk that the benefit of this reminder and what you can still do to fight outweighs bringing even more attention to it, for if no other reason that my conscience compels me to try and do something.

So, the CaptianCaption vs fleas saga that I chronicled about 2 weeks ago is finally winding down. Combing my cats has consistently shown either a total lack of fleas or the uncommon single juvenile flea. I've vacuum and sprayed all the egg/larvae/pupa with flea killer. I'll still very rarely see a stray flea, but it's never been an adult, meaning these are from recent egg hatching and that I've almost certain...

Hey y'all, my body is currently kicking my ass, so let's just get right into it.
My health has been bad for the last month. I got a stressful update about my CBS that's too early for me to get into as I'm in "wait and see" limbo with new medications, but this contributed to a stress ulcer, which then lead to me getting intestinal blockage that left me weak, feverish (which sucked extra hard as my AC has been on the fritz and I live in the South), and with ...

Hey y'all, the update is very close to completion (I'd say less than 2 solid days of work). I debated even making another check-in given how little work remains, but I figured that 2 weeks of radio silence justifies one.
