... ahhh it's very self-indulgent though, I am so sorry 💦 It's just a sweet little Genzy thing... but it turned out very beautiful to me. I hope it can at least make you smile if you play it 💕
YIPPEE SKIPPY IT'S FINISHED!
Will Genzou be able to relay all his BOTTLED-UP FEELINGS FOR IGGY through the medium of text? (👎) Or will he just annoy him? (👍)
Featuring a kinda cool texting system and 1 very cute but anxious ace char 💜🤍🖤

Sorry for the silence this week. My life is suddenly falling apart?? But I wanted to draw at least something for
#InternationalAsexualityDay
. Iggy isn't my 1st ace char but he is the 1st into whom I've poured my own struggles and fears re: finding myself and wanting to be loved.
OK ARC 5 (PART 1) OF THIS ACE-TASTIC QUEER HORROR MESS (QHM) IS OUT NOWWWW!
FEATURING:

I've finally started working on the OW remaster, yeahhh!! Took a vid to show off the variety of things I've been doing: sprite tweaks, sprite redraws, CG redraws, more CG variations, and ofc the Iggy side sprite 😌 I'm honestly really happy with the level of polish it's adding.
I have officially finished the bulk of the game 🫡
All art and coding is done to the end. 86 CGs. I've cried a lot. Uhhhh. Yeah.
So now I just need to do the scenes for the other routes. 5-6k more words and like 10-15 more CGs probably.
But feeling pretty good.
Two years ago, I released Arc 1 of Our Wonderland. It's hard to believe that 256k words, 411 CGs, 3 sidegames (+ 1 more soon!) and 4 & 2/3 arcs later, I'd have nothing but the finale left!
Thank you everyone who's followed me on this journey! I'm so grateful for your support! 💕
Thank you to everyone who's played my little game. I was a bit nervous and embarrassed about it but people left such sweet comments 💕
I decided to draw the kiss as a little thank you (since you can't actually see it in game lkdajfalskd)
THANK YOU FOR 10,000 PLAYS?????? I shall weep.
I'm celebrating by releasing an Android version! Now you can text Iggy straight from your pocket—WHAT A DREAM??

I doodled some chars for my dark fantasy idea. I have no idea if or when I'd ever actually do anything with them, but I had the sudden urge to transfer them from head to paper lol
IT COMES OUT TOMORROW GOD HELP I have nothing more to say besides I hope people will like it ahhHHHHHHHH 💦
Oh yeah and a final fact—when Genzou bought his shop, it was the first time all of them had gotten together in over a year.

OK I think I can officially say Arc 1 is completely remastered! Iggy sprite added, all sprites updated, every line of code trawled through and polished, and ofc all CG work done, for a total of:
New CGs: 19
Redrawn CGs: 27
Tweaked CGs: 30
Yay! Now to continue with Arc 2! 🫡
IT COMES OUT TOMORROW AHHHHHHH WEEPING AND CRYING. I don't really have a lore to go with this one as I feel like it speaks for itself. So instead I'll just thank everyone for all their support throughout this long journey. I really hope you'll like the new part!

WE'RE ONE WEEK OUT FROM LAUNCH. Which means it's time for my patent-pending countdown. I'm all facted out so I decided to keep it simple with quotes from the finale, first up being, ofc, Iggy.
"K-... kids grow up. Nothing stays innocent forever. That’s... that’s LIFE...!"
Happy Valentine's Day! 💕
Sorry for my sparse posts and replies lately. I'm not in a great place mentally rn (tho not gonna burden anyone with that here). But I wanted something cute that would make me happy so I drew this for today 🥹
#visualnovel

#gamedev

Not super exciting but I've been revamping menus and such as it was incredibly needed. Now the default menu is a pause screen with basic info that leads into the other menus. Also some new extra fun bits!
UMMMM? Th-thank you for 2000+ browser plays and 250+ downloads on T2A2G??? 💦
As someone who got 30 dls on the Arc 1 launch and 15 dls on Arc 2, these numbers are unfathomable to me and I may have cried. I'm glad ppl like my dorky beans 😭💕 Feels like a sweet bday gift ladkjfal
Beat the game and couldn't stop sobbing. Even today two days later my chest still aches. So I had to draw something. Genzou will truly fall in love with Iggy in every universe 💔

Tfw when you find yourself stuck in a complicated love square but you're just an awkward ace bean who has no idea what the flying heck's going on half the time.

#OWFanworkContest
OK I was convinced 🫡
This scene broke me just a little bit. It went in places I wasn't expecting after I started writing it 💦 (tho this happens a lot admittedly LOL) (WHO PLANS WHAT THEY'RE GONNA WRITE HAHAHA...haha... ha...)

SIX DAYS LEFT?? Anyway I'm already weeping so have Genzou.
"At least now I’ve finally started to correct some of my copious wrongs. So rather than actively hurting anyone I’m only passively annoying the fuck out of them. That’s as close to a win-win as you’re gonna get with me!"
Realized that I have bits of char info scattered all over in random tweets or forum posts so I decided to create a ✨de facto info sheet✨ to add to the itch page.
Also I have never drawn all of them full body like this anyway so it was good to do 🤭

UMMM we're a week out from the launch? Which means—COUNTDOWN TIME??? I've decided to do little college-aged sketches + facts 😌✨
First up is Iggy—Iggy didn't have many friends in college and spent most of his time holed up in his dorm room.

Happy holidays!! ☃️🥕 Thought it was a perfect time to redo the sweater art teehee~ 🤭💕 Hope everyone is having a relaxing and lovely time no matter what you're doing this weekend! (I am currently hunkering down in a blizzard LOL)
#visualnovel

#gamedev

Been working on menus! Default is an updating stats screen showing how much of Iggy's outfit is ready, along with Iggy's mood and thoughts (which change based on affection with the LIs).
Still a bit more to tweak, but I like how it looks so far!
#OnceUponATimeVNJam
#WinterVNJam
Have been awake for roughly 33 hours but am back and thought I'd share some sketches I did during my trip (apologies as lately whenever I draw anything there's a 90% chance it'll become Genzou...)
Hope to start on the headshots tomorrow after I finally get some sleep lakdjfals
New chibis teehee. Had been wanting to complete the New Set for a while 🤭
Also tried drawing these at a higher res so they could be used for stickers/keychains (it's v. hard to draw larger sizes in my program lkafjdla). Feel free to use them!!

The more I work on 5.2 the longer and more extensive it becomes, so I'm once again thoughting about possible different release options... unsure tho, so will keep mulling it over in the noggin as I plunk away.
In the meantime, have a doodly-dood of Iggy looking cute 😌
He's on the move~ 🏃
Each day Iggy will randomly be in a different spot in his room. Trying to think of even more places to place him LOL
#OnceUponATimeVNJam
#WinterVNJam
Happy holidays! ☃️💕 Thank you so much for all the downloads and kind words about Our Cinderella. Hope everyone has a lovely day no matter what you're getting up to!
Thank you everyone who's played the new part and/or left thoughts or words of love and encouragement. It really means so much 💕
Our Wonderland is big and weird and Not a Good Time™, but I'm eternally grateful to everybody's who's given it a chance over the years 🥺
SIX DAYS LEFT YEAAAAAHHHH. I am a bit n-n-nervous 💦
Anyway, today is Genzou—Genzou stopped caring much about his appearance after everyone left. He quit gelling his hair and started wearing a hat instead so he wouldn't have to deal with it.
#visualnovel

I wanted to get most of the base systems set up before announcing because I've never done anything like this before. Here are the results of my current labors 😌✨
Decide Iggy's day! I'm having a lot of fun with the design! 🧐

OK here's my plan for

Started working on these last week but wanted something to post while I was away. Some little pairing chibis! I WANT THEM AS KEYCHAINS SO MUCH ALDKJFADS
Have a few more I wanna draw when I'm back home next week 🤭
Wonderland's king makes his final debut 🫡👑🐰
