Finally, here we are! For those concerned, things are tentatively looking better with my family, knock on wood and such. I've been getting back into the swing of things bit by bit, and I finally felt ready to tackle this story.
I'd like to say it's extra long to make up for the delay, but ...

Hello, friends. I want to check in and let you know that I have a family emergency that's been making it hard to get much work done. I thought I might be able to clear my head and get the Side-Write done just a couple days late, but it's looking unlikely right now, as things are getting worse rat...

It's hard to say what exactly led me to writing this story, I was just musing over the various elements until I landed on a feeling and an image that felt worth writing about. I don't think this qualifies as one of those happy stories I've been trying to write more of, I guess I'll have to push m...
2024-03-30 02:20:46 +0000 UTC View PostI've had mixed feelings about tentacles for a long time. They can be fun as an idea, but often they just feel sort of inert compared to other insertables. Like they don't have much... character? Emotional context? I'm not sure where exactly to pin it, but I knew since early on that I'd want to in...
2024-02-28 00:04:47 +0000 UTC View PostStruggles and triumphs, my friends! I know it's been a while since my previous, public dev journal, but it feels even longer for me. I've been flailing my way down a strange and difficult road.
One aspect of the world of Project Wild One I've been uncertain on for a while is how much magic I want to include, in the sense of "casting spells" and the like. I know the main character will have access to some supernatural abilities, but how common should that be otherwise?
I was refle...
Happy New Year! Well, imminent new year. I did wonder how the people in the world of PWO would count and celebrate their years, and that led pretty easily into this month's exploration of the setting. I'm still trying to practice happier stories, and I think this was a decent way to keep pushing ...
2023-12-30 20:34:20 +0000 UTC View PostI've been polishing and bugfixing the changes I talked about in my recent Dev Journal, and after a bit of a break for the holidays, I'm taking a good look at what to add to Project Wild One's descriptions. I already have a few ideas, but I realized this would be a pretty good time to get some fee...
2023-12-30 01:30:30 +0000 UTC View PostPhew! I'm back on the case, experimenting with happier writing. I feel like a lot of my work has tended to lean on the gloomy side, and I want to find a better balance. It was a bit of a struggle, but I think it worked pretty well with this one. My main regret is that it turned out much, much lon...
2023-12-01 00:21:11 +0000 UTC View PostHappy Halloween! For the holiday I've taken another stab at a scary story! This one turned out rather grisly I think, so please think twice about how scary you'd like your night to be. I tried to play with the themes of the holiday a little along with seeing how dark I was comfortable going.

Finally done! I'm feeling mostly better now, and it was still a bit of a struggle finding both another area to explore and trying to tell a happier story, but I'm fairly happy with how this came out. Still a little silly, and turned out a little long while still feeling cut short, but I think I l...
2023-10-11 01:30:23 +0000 UTC View PostI didn't want to make another one of these posts so soon, and I kept thinking I'd be better tomorrow and I could do the side-write then, but it looks like it's not getting done today either.
I took some time after finishing v0.06 to get some big stuff done in my personal life, and that's s...

Time to explore another lifestyle in the world of Project Wild One! I haven't made much reference to these people before, but the more I think about how the story of this world is developing, the more it feels inevitable that this will be at least a certain portion of the population, bringing ano...
2023-08-31 22:40:53 +0000 UTC View PostTime has really gotten away from me with this update. I do want to take the time to do it right, but I also want this game to be better faster than it is. I think partly I've let a lot of personal stuff coming up in my life slow me down here and there, and partly I think that... hm.

Another small story from the world of Project Wild One. I've made a few references to these characters as an element in the world, and I thought it was about time to actually follow one for a minute. I had been considering going somewhere else with this, but just setting up the idea ended up taki...
2023-08-01 01:01:04 +0000 UTC View PostI'm finally feeling better! Still a little tender, but well enough to write at least. Thanks for your patience with getting this out!
Well, I knew getting this one started that it was going to be pretty bittersweet. It seems that I'm still writing like I've got a chip on my shoulder, too. ...
Hello. I'm afraid I've injured my back and am currently in a lot of pain. I missed posting a side-write at the usual time, and I will probably be silent for at least a few days more. I'll write the missing content once I'm feeling better. I'm sorry for the delay, and wish you good health.
2023-07-02 00:33:21 +0000 UTC View PostI felt like it's time to try another story set in the world of Project Wild One, a more direct narrative exploration of what's going on in there. The tough thing is, I've been in a bit of a mood lately, but I wanted to try and write something more positive. I struggled some, and this still came o...
2023-06-01 00:08:02 +0000 UTC View PostWe finally completed the big series of interviews with the gods of our new world, and we're free to write about anything now! I had several thoughts on where to go from here, and the obvious thing was to explore a little more of what life is like for normal people in this world, to try and flesh ...
2023-04-28 23:20:23 +0000 UTC View PostIt's the final installment! Our interviewer is a very different person by this point, and probably asking very different questions than they thought they would be when they started this journey. In case you're not keeping track, this is the final of six interviews with the six gods of the world o...
2023-04-01 01:42:10 +0000 UTC View PostIn my last public journal, I said I'd be trying hard to post a supporter journal sooner than usual, to break out of this cycle of posting just twice per update with the “I finally got over the hu...
