We've got another 2,500 words added to Leas: Fae Moon Rising! It's slow going in the beginning these days, mostly because I've spun so many side plots and future things to lay groundwork for. I'm constantly checking my outline to make sure I'm incorporating everything, and I've reshuffled the ord...

2024-11-01 11:48:29 +0000 UTC View PostFor those who are new, Flashpoint is a ~30k word minigame I've made for Halloween! It's set in our world, in a creepy little town in the woods. (Best of all, it features three kissable ROs ^.^).
This week's been spent in a bunch of different places at once! I worked on prepping Apotheosis, editing Flashpoint a little, and of course working on Leas book 2. It's coming along well, and I'm confident I'll have at least 15k words for its debut demo in December. I also got some preliminary art...

2024-10-22 12:23:44 +0000 UTC View PostI just came up with a new world-of-Leas thing for one of the RO bonus stories, and I love it so much. It's called "prism rain." It's exactly what it sounds like: rain that contains little crystallized prisms inside each drop, so it's like it's raining little rainbows.
Worldbuilding is fun ^...
2024-10-21 21:26:03 +0000 UTC View PostThis was a good writing week for me.
I continue to be grateful for the grace you guys have shown me with the past month's bumps and bruises on my health. Not having to prep a demo for October has been a huge help to me getting back on my feet ❤️ I've gotten rest, and I'm set up to start...

2024-10-20 12:17:21 +0000 UTC View PostSince the early days of writing Leas' first book, I've kept a doc called "Things I've learned from writing a Hosted Game." It's exactly what it sounds like, and I created it originally for myself as a sort of diary, and a way to remind myself how to avoid pitfalls and celebrate successes.

I keep going "wait, what about this side plot, did we account for that? Oh, I did. Wow, nice." 😂
2024-10-15 20:24:32 +0000 UTC View PostI spent the whole week working on the assets for the game's marketing materials. I thought I had more done originally than I did, so it ended up being a lot of work >_< But the good news is it's pretty much done!

I'm going to try and have a small demo of Leas' second game ready for December - sooner than I planned, but things are coming along faster than I expected.
For November I've got two demo options for us to choose between. They're very different, so here's a short summary of both:
Are you there?
"Of course I'm-" I turn to Rin, then stop when I see their mouth isn't open, their gaze isn't on me.
Oh.

I'm happy to say I'm slowly catching up after last month's bumps and bruises. Flashpoint is almost done, and I expect to launch the final update either tomorrow or Tuesday. Getting it there was enough work on its own for this week, but I also managed to deep clean my work area and get things set ...

2024-10-03 00:25:28 +0000 UTC View PostI thought Flashpoint's ending might end up being a little unsatisfying, since when I thought of the story I always had it in my head as a longer game. But the ending I just wrote for it I actually love. It's so cute and fun and has a little shout-out to one of my favorite tv shows from growing up...

2024-09-29 21:20:41 +0000 UTC View PostThe next step is content review, which to my understanding means that someone looks over the game to make sure there's nothing horribly offensive in it, and nothing that goes against the company's other guidelines. I don't expect any problems there. I've been told it's a somewhat slow process, bu...
