Hi friends,
Just a short update today, since it’s been a pretty chaotic week. I am still working on finishing the last scene of Chapter 1 Route B. Because of all the various ways the chapter can end, there’s an important conversation between Aeran and the MC that needed particular atten...

I just wanted to do a quick progress report outside of my regular schedule. There are a lot of things happening right now in terms of getting this chapter finished.
On the writing side, I have completed the last of the combat scenes and have moved on to the las...

Another month half-way gone! I’m trying not to think about how quickly time is passing as I keep my head down and continue work on the game. I have completed another big chunk of the Route B endgame, but despite my best efforts, I definitely did not write according to the plan...

Happy end of the month! June didn’t quite go according to plan, but I still got a lot of work done. Even though I didn’t meet my planned deadlines, I am working through the end of the game as fast as I can, so I am trying to give myself permission to take a little m...

Happy end-of-May! I hope everyone has had a good month.

It’s been a very busy two weeks. Game development is progressing, albeit at a slower rate than I would like. There is ongoing construction behind my apartment building and they are doing controlled blasting in the area until July, which hasn’t been exactly the best thing to ...

The past two centuries have re-shaped the political borders of Rhesainia many times. The early 11th century saw a golden age for the Lotharic city states, small independent nations near and around the Lotharic Sea. These principalities included Calaide, Umbara, Corsida, Edessa, Nemain and Velanti...

The Wayfarer UI has gone through many, many different versions. Some are okay. Some are not great. With the additional UI changes out for the alpha build, I thought it would be fun to look back on some of my past attempts to build the visual look and roast myself for my choices.
