DEV LOG(?)
....hi its been a while hasnt it ( ´・ω・)
i got hit with the employment debuff as well as scope creep, and now i'm unsure where to proceed when it comes to personal projects....
oh boy oh boy yes indeed it's time for another ramble post!!!!!!!!!!!!!
—————————————————————————
if you couldn't tell by the image.... the only job i could find was making some stupid coffee and serving customers.....
at least it's helped to reduce my social anxiety!!! ( ´ ω ` )
and i have done work on the game during my vacation and afterwards!!! i swear look at the proof!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i've technically been working on the website too... tho i'm making a different website first to test out the capabilities and features before i import the code to my actual website! it looks really rough so i can't show it (sorry orz) but it was a fansite for OMORI that replicated most of WHITE SPACE
to be honest.... i wasn't doing so well after my vacation, so i needed to work on myself, then i got stuck in the mindset of constant improvement and developing art skills so i could potentially become a full time artist ...and this led to art block (´・ω・`)
and then i took the offer from a friend to work at a certain coffee store chain just to earn some money in the meantime, and so a few months of my life were consumed by that until i started working less all while i still was struggling with art
and now i'm here!!!! suffering from wrist strain and potential carpal tunnel by my own hubris of drawing everyday without stretches and even before work and still in a horrid mindset of endless art improvement and practice!!!!!!!!!!
in fact i'm wearing a wrist brace as i'm typing this right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! help
but back to the main points at hand (pun not intended): scope creep and personal projects
"Dedicated To..." started to morph into a huuuuuge project that's crucial to the multi-game series' plot i want to make in the future so far, it has a very long story, extra chapters, multiple CGs, and lots of sprites for various maps and events (maybe you can see the hints of what i mean in the proof i showed....?)
at this point, the game is put on hold as i reel back and create a smaller game, still experimenting with the rpg maker engine or perhaps looking for other engines!!
all i can say is look forward to whatever i might release next, as i'm not giving up on being a game dev just yet!!!! ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ
also give me time for the website too
on personal projects, i've had this webcomic i've been wanting to release for SOOOOOOOOOOOOO long!!!!!! and i have so much already done (and in my head)!!!!!!!
but the issue is i can't really work on either making my own games or a webcomic without diminishing the quality of either one or both of them..... ( ; ω ; )
i'll have to think about which project i want to focus on, and what i'll do to achieve it, though both "Dedicated To..." and my not-so-secret webcomic will require me actually finishing writing the story....
honestly if anyone reading this wants to talk about this kind of dilemma with me for whatever reason, i'm free to listen and talk!!! i like talking to people actually!!!
i honestly don't know how to end this, and especially worse to end on a note that says "hi i have no idea what i want to do and i only have so much time," but the life of an artist/game dev is not an easy one....
regardless, thank you once again for reading until the end!! i hope i can make a more positive dev log or an announcement for something soon instead of staying radio silent again (´ノω;`)
i hope i'll see you in the next one!!!!
