What a Week, Draws

So, I got some drawing done this week. But, it's a mixed feeling.

I've run out of savings I was using to fund my visual novel and game development experiments. I've been, pretty bummed about that. Lost a couple of days to processing that and reflecting on the successes and failures. I'll ge...

Absolutely Luscious - A Modular VN Project! 0.00

Alright! Third time's the charm right? Hopefully with my new attempts at managing my work pace it should be!

Anyway- This is the seed for Absolutely Luscious! A modular visual novel that will hopefully become a collection of characters, scenes, and possibly short stories and crossovers to c...

Back from Trip Update!

I didn't get much work done this week, this week was focused entirely on mental and physical health. Trying to reckon with this aimless feeling I've been having. And I am hoping it's helped a bit. I have a bit more of a game plan moving forward- Doing some brainstorming on how to make a more modu...

Absolutely Luscious - Cheryl Scene

Cheryl shows off her produce at a bar over drinks!

A super quick scene that I initially started to make to try out making shorter less context kinky scenes. I haven't... committed to the idea yet. So it's bare bones.

Part of my anxieties this week has been me being torn between...

A Few Draws this May 4th

It's been a rough week for work peeps. A total lack of focus led me to trying to tend to my mental health and living space for most of the week. Just getting out a few doodles.

I'm going to be taking some mental health days and getting out of the house this weekend/early next week. So hopef...

"Absolutely Luscious" Cheryl

So, as I've bemoaned. I'm having difficulty picking a single idea to commit to. Second guessing myself a lot and annoying myself with my indecision. I'm tired of holding out for a "perfect idea" so, I just said heck it and dove into making a quick one off Cheryl Scene!

I didn't get around t...

Draws of the Week! Apr 27th

Was a weird week, I'll admit it- Con Drop is always a little thing to overcome, that bit of depression after all the endorphins of hanging with people and doing stuff. (Sizecon Micro was a ton of fun by the way! Great panels! Lots of people to chill with! The Radio Play went awesome as usual!) 2024-04-27 17:02:44 +0000 UTC View Post

Woo, 4/20 Draws!

It's the week of Sizecon! So, I was in a lot of crunch mode doing my responsibilities for it. So, I've had less time to draw than I'd like unfortunately. Hopefully going to get back to more work next week!

In the mean time, have some character design doodles, a bit more brainstorming for my...

A Cursed Valley - Brainstorm!

The most placeholder or placeholder titles for now- really on the nose-

But! This was the most direct brainstorming I've done in a while- sort of working backwards from 'the big reveal' and going back to the smallest possible game I could make out of it! Now that all the big decisions have ...

Descent to Madness! Apr 13th

This week... it's funny it's one of those weeks where I'm not actually sure how productive it was. As I've said, it's been a bit of a rough time for "the process" lately. Lots of thinking, brainstorming, then ripping up the papers, not knowing what to do. So this week, I went about a different me...

HDatL! Or my April Fool's VN!

I had an insane idea this year for April Fools. I'm not fond of the holiday, especially with how social media folks are all "I'm doing X!" but the "joke" is that they're not. So, instead. I said "I'm gonna try to make a visual novel in ONE day! And stream it!" And the joke was- I was ser...

Draws and Brainstorms of April 6!

So it's that time of week again, update week!

And this week, I've got some stuff to show ya! I'm slowly getting my momentum back for making stuff. Though I'm still feeling a little aimless. So I'm trying to brainstorm and figure out what direction I want to go in for my next project.

...

Making Games is Hard!

Wow Lush, stating the obvious there, huh?

But yeah. This is a little, musing, update, on how the year's been going so far. Last year, I spent the last few months of the year saving up as much money a...

Maxwell's Short: Script Draft!

I didn't get as much done as I wanted to this week, but hopefully- I'll be able to get some rest and be back with more momentum soon.

I did finish the first draft of the script- so the story is readable! With dialogue choices and a couple jump off ending points. And I've started on putting ...

Drawings of March 30th!

It was another slow week peeps. But I have a couple doodles to share! As well as a sprite reduction test pic.

Hopefully, it will be the last slow week. Things have been stressful lately- and when I get stressed I'm prone to worrying and obsessing. Wishing that I'd started my dreams of becom...

Luscious Kinky Shorts - Dev 1

And so it begins! Yes, I did try to make that "title screen" as ominous as heckin' possible.

Anyway- I've started on a Luscious Short! This is my new idea for trying to overcome my creative block- and especially my being intimidated by large projects I've been in the past month. I don't wan...

Draws of the Week! March 23!

I'm starting to get my momentum back!

Things are still, kinda crazy offline. But I've been getting my time to work and brainstorm, so hopefully will be able to keep chipping away at things and get some solid motivation going for the future!

This week, I spent a lot of it brainstorming...

Back from Vacay!

Hey y'all, I'm afraid I don't have any update this week. I was gone all week on holiday and just got back to some offline business right away.

Though I admit, news has been- demotivating. I'll hopefully get back to brainstorming my next project soon.  Regardless of what happens, I'll b...

Recovering Sketches!

Lots of bots this week- as I try to brainstorm how I'd "open" a game about robots and cyborgs. Little bit of blood warning. But otherwise, lots of sketches!

More health and status update to follow.

------------------------

Alright, *physically* I'd say I'm almost back to normal!...

March 2nd Pics!

I won't lie folks, it's been a tough week for art.

Some changes to the household might have weird consequences for my work and life schedule- still uncertainties there. As well, I caught a nasty bug- and everything hurts.

So, here's what I managed to get done this week!

Mega Brainstorm Week!

I'll admit peeps, this week was a slower one. I experimented a bit with some transparent images for a dual stat tracking start bar- And it came out okay. Not *quite* what I wanted, but I'll figure something out.

But, the rest of the week was devoted to writing, scrapping what I was writing,...

Chronicles of Creative Contemplation - Card Game

This week, I spent mostly brainstorming how I even want to go about the next direction my games should take. The release of Honey's Sizing Up Game went better than I anticipated, and now I've got a lot more to think about than I expected.

So this week, I spent some time brainstorming, and a...

The Week's Assets! Ghouls n Forests n Beans!

Hm, I'm thinking maybe I'll show off a few of the assets I make each week here- since that's what I'm doing most of the time.

This week was a lot more about brainstorming and pondering the direction I want to go in. Honey's Sizing Up Game is doing a lot better than I anticipated- it's gotte...

Chronicles of Creative Contemplation

After my mental health day, I decided to take a day to just have fun. To just make something because I could. And for that, I decided to go for a little meta fiction scene inspired a bit by Inscryption and a little of that classic "artist vs art" style of cartoon.

It was also an exercise in...

Fertility Ritual - Thoughts...

Here's what I was trying to get done this week, I started out really focusing on brainstorming for Fertility Ritual. I started out revisiting my notes, reorganizing them, and thinking about all the things I wanted to do and add in and-

I'll admit it. I got overwhelmed.

The sheer scale...

The Week's Doodles!

I did a little bit more doodling this week, and a lot of thinking.

The past month, has been incredible. It's been quite the emotional and mental release to be able to just, work on what I want to work on. And take steps towards becoming a visual novel and game developer. But- it's also been...

Honey's Sizing Up Game! Finished!

And, it's done!

An impulse/practice game to try out composite sprites, contextual dialogue, and other such variables. Starring (officially introducing?) Honey!

Here it is for all y'all patrons to play as you see fit. A public release will be coming next week on Itch.io. And if anyone ...

Weekly Update! First Week of Feb!

Hello hello! This week was productive- I've finished up the Dress Up/Size Up sim! It's posted for my 5$ patrons for now, and will be available publicly next week on itch.io!

Once I finished that up, I started brainstorming for The Fertility Ritual anew. Thinking about the aesthetic I want t...

Development - Honey's Size Up!

I spent all of this past week working on sprites for the dress up game! I'll admit, I underestimated a little just how many sprites go into a dress up game. .  . Especially one where the main character's body can be changed. 

BUT! Progress is progress! I'm also streamlining the co...

Honey and the Goods!

This week went well. But that does mean I spent it all working on game assets instead of anything else. So, I'll let y'all here in Raven Tier have a sneak peek!
