And at last, my once-#NaNoRenO2023 entry is complete! ^_^

It's a short, branching, narrative-poem VN, titled:

"Into the Aether"

You can find it on my itch page:

Last day of #NaNoRenO2023! Seeing some of the submissions come in, and I'm so excited!

#NaNoRenO #GameDev #GameJam #VisualNovel

#NaNoRenO2023 Update!

Well, I think that I have the concept (and maybe some writing) for one more route...

I'm looking at (likely) two more backgrounds, selecting ambient audio, and of course writing.

Can I complete it in... *checks* the next ~2 days...?

We'll see!

#NaNoRenO2023 Update!

Well, depending on whether I come up with a better idea for the end-screen art, I think that I may have this draft of my game complete! 0_0

Further, I've drafted a page for it on Itch! ^_^

That said, I may yet revise the text a bit, and I would like to add one more route/ending if I have time...

I've released a short, free #BL #visualnovel for this year's #NaNoRenO2023 called What Happened the Night Before!

It's about a couple of childhood friends who drift apart, but who later reunite and fall in love!

It's a cute, straightforward romance story with a little bit of drama, with a lot of kissing and some NSFW scenes. I hope you enjoy it! ❤️

coding some ui stuff for #NaNoRenO2023
plz look forward to my cute (free) #bl #visualnovel ❤️ ✨

Piecing together my free #BL #visualnovel for #NaNoRenO2023 atm!
Idk about you, but I think it's looking pretty good! ❤️ ✨

I finished another character for our #nanoreno2023 game today! He has three poses in total, one of which I'll share here. Since you talk to John over the phone for the radio, his art is styled differently than the others.

#NaNoRenO2023 Update!

I believe that I have a draft of the story complete! ^_^

At current, it has three endings.

Furthermore, I've added two new convenience buttons, with tooltips: one to quit, and one to toggle the UI. (Bottom-left and bottom-right, respectively.)

Worked on Sophie's expressions today! Here's one ^^
#Nanoreno2023

#NaNoRenO2023 Update:

"Yond" proved a difficult word to rhyme. :P

(At least with a specific purpose.)

In short, it's been largely a period of writing of late! And I think progress made! ^_^

But I did have an idea regarding the ending that might be interesting...

#NaNoRenO #VisualNovel #GameJam #IndieDev #IndieGame

More #NaNoRenO2023 progress!

* A working-title
* Support for (simple) music and UI sound (with stand-in audio)
* Game-flow now allows for quitting and restarting
* The main menu is functionally done, I think
* Options are now saved and loaded
* And a bit more writing!

There is of course still no proper art--hence for example the greyness of the menu.

I'm working on a short #BL #visualnovel for #NaNoRenO2023 this year! 💕✨
Here are some sketches of the two main (and, uh, only) characters, Noah and Mikage, drawn by the talented Saitoki!
I hope you're looking forward to it! 🙏

Today I did some expressions for the MC. I posted all of them on my patreon, but here's one as a sample ^^
#Nanoreno2023

A small #NaNoRenO2023 update:

Today's work:
* More writing, both new stanzas and the revision of old
-- (Including my first intentional breaks of the poem's form)
* A start at a main menu
* A start at an end-screen
* And various updates to the game's framework!

#NaNoRenO

(I'm hesitant to show screenshots today, as they all fall into either "spoilery" or "just grey stand-in UI-art"... ^^; )

Finished another character today. This is Sophie; she's a ghost.
