2021-03-22 23:43:42 +0000 UTC View PostMy most complex endeavor yet, though it may not be immediately obvious how much is going on under the hood. I highly recommend you at least read the tutorial properly before starting as the game doesn't have a lot of important quality of life features built in yet.

Well, I let this one slide away for a while under various excuses because I wasn't satisfied with how things were going. I finally got Project Wild One to a playable state, which meant I could put a pause on programming and heavy duty back engine game design at long last, and... the transition ha...
2021-03-09 03:44:45 +0000 UTC View PostHello. So far with these side-writes I've tried to theme them around what I'm working on next, and with the Wild One making the rounds, next up on my plate is a small update for My Very Own Lith. Now, in the past, I would write "diaries" for Lith while I was working on his game, and my first thou...

Here's a series of pieces that seemed really simple but ended up taking ages and a lot more work than expected to really get just right. We thought that the silhouettes would make it simpler, and it does in some ways, but I still wanted it to have a striking style that had a very specific feel to...
2021-02-17 01:38:52 +0000 UTC View PostProject Wild One is finally almost ready to ship v0.01! This should be the last side-write for this particular setting for a little while, and once again I was having a little trouble since this game is less story-oriented, but I took this chance to think more over what this world will have to be...

Things are finally coming together! It's been a long, difficult road turning Project Wild One from a feverish, passionate dream to something remotely playable, but I finally 2021-01-21 06:08:53 +0000 UTC

Got a shorter side-write for this month. Project Wild One is hopefully nearing completion for v0.01, finally, but it's really dragged out and worn me down. At this point I wasn't sure what to write about, it's a bit of a tough subject to draw from just because the story is still so up in the air,...

Phew! This one has been in the pipes a looong time. We ran into a lot of delays and ran through a lot of sketches to really get the look and feel of this moment right, and it's one of those pieces I feel a little like I could just keep adjusting forever, so I had to pick a point to say good enoug...
2020-12-30 01:55:16 +0000 UTC View PostThis is another journal I found myself putting off hoping I'd have better news tomorrow, but it's stretched on too long and I at least feel a little better today.
Project Wild One has undoubtedly been the single most complicated thing I've tried to create over the span of a few months. I'm...
These are still a little tough to do at the moment. The side-write idea was really more focused on projects more similar to MVOL, where the story is the focus from the start and I've got a lot more to work with. For Project Wild One, there's still going to be a lot of things that are up ...

I've already gotten several pieces from Khuraji for this particular section of the game, and I have to admit, it was bugging me just how much the introductory art for that chapter contradicted the rest. I'd always be...
2020-11-17 06:35:20 +0000 UTC View PostHappy Halloween! I hadn't been sure what to do for this one, as I should definitely make this one about Project Wild One, but a lot of the lore is still up in the air as I refine the mechanics and build around them. But I realized that what I did have at the ready could actually match up...

The short version is, Project Wild One has taken longer than I hoped, but I could have it done soon......
I'm going to be a bit rambly here, but it comes around to explaining an upcoming vote near the end! I started intending to write this journal at least a week ago, but that came along with the thought, "shoot, I said last time I'd be putting out a vote soon for what sort of NPCs y...
2020-10-29 04:21:05 +0000 UTC View PostI'm deep in the development of Project Wild One, but with the first build of Project Matchmaker coming out earlier this month and going public in a few days, I figured it'd be good to put in one more on Safron and Mala's world. I do still feel shaky on some aspects of Mala's people and how they l...
2020-09-30 06:21:01 +0000 UTC View PostWell, as you might guess from the delay on this one, things have slowed down some since that flurry of activity I reported in the last public journal. I'm still working on building a lot of backend code, mostly pretty abstract stuff, but it's not going as rapidfire as when I first started putting...
