project log: eternal sailor moon

396 stitches done today (34.68% done!)

Bones

I visit Doctor’s Offices.

An X-Ray, then labwork

These horrible pains.

Knees, ankles, hands, joints.

Pressure, builds into burn, rippling sting

Back , shins, ribs, forearms.

Up and down the bone line, joints make sound.

Pop snap crackle, like old cereal

Rolling them, a personal boombox for animated sound effects

Stiffness starts,

pain medication stops working,

I lose the ability to concentrate.

Comfort comes from a boiling bath,

Submerged like lobster, till skin itches.

Falling asleep, ache crawls back in.

Pain compounds,

Anti inflammatories on routine like my grandma

And a segmented compartment organizer

Results come back normal

Except for a smooth digit on the

Right hand

Had nothing to say for itself except for its insignificance

Had it been asymptomatic

This is how one ushers in a glorious new era. 

Eggperial City is mine. I’ve gained total control over every Badnik on the Eggnet. Sonic is headed straight for his demise at the hands of Surge and Kit, and the Doctor is on his way to me. 

I’ll show him everything that I’ve accomplished. Without him.  

While I await the arrival of my ‘guests’, I’ll provide you all with a little anecdote.  

A while ago, I'd mentioned the Doctor's rather impressive miniatures collection, a series of Zombot figures that he’d made and displayed within Egg Base Alpha. I’d been confused as to why I’d been there too, amongst all the others. 

I was too blind to read the writing on the wall for what it was at the time. I was so… naive to think that he would ever consider me his equal. Or perhaps I knew, but I refused to look the truth in the face, as so much of who I was had been built around him. 

But so much has changed. I've grown, and I won't be so cruel. I will extend a hand instead of tossing him aside, showing him the mistake he made in underestimating me. I won't do what he did to me. No - I will be better. I will make him see the light, see the error of his ways. And in the end, once he realises the vicious cycle he trapped himself in, who will be there to thank for everything? Why, he'll have no choice but to kneel to me. 

And to you… to those who have followed me with the same devotion that I once showed the dear Doctor: I may find some use for you yet. Provided you are deemed worthy enough to escape imprisonment at best and total eradication at worst. 

All the same: I welcome you to my new Empire.

Sincerely and forever yours,

🎉 First update! 🎉

Once it seemed like Camp Maple Wind was a stable release, I took an immediate week off to spend time with friends and family. Then I got to work laying out some parts I hadn't yet outlined, as well as everything I need to do for Chapter 2.

Each episode is going to focus on a different part of the mystery. You'll have to explore the park, remember your sister, and uncover whatever you may have seen on your first night... For a big portion of the month, I kept going back and forth on the order of those investigations and how to pace some key moments. I'm mostly there now, but still have some things to iron out.

As far as the next chapter is concerned, Act 1 is half finished! To kick things off, you'll be able to choose your roommate in the staff lodge, or let some level of RNG decide.

(Background is a work in progress.)

The room's decorations will change depending on your roommate (as usual, Tasha's is my favorite to design), and so will your ability to snoop sneak out explore... It's one more way that Episode 1 is all about laying the groundwork: your partner, your roommate, the departments you work with - they're all choices that'll shape your investigation going forward.

There's also a lot of art on the to-do list for this chapter because not only are you going to see the counselors in their PJs and some of our young campers, I'm going to be introducing our first CGs! Aaaand hopefully going back to add a CG to Chapter 1 that I didn't have time to work on before. (Hint: it's for the twins, and it's very cute. Or it will be.)

Which means I'll also need to get a gallery implemented in the menu, but I'm not complaining. Coding is often the most fun part for me (when I'm not tiredly staring at broken code for four hours straight...)

I unironically have forgotten I had this blog so it's been a very very hot minute since I've posted here. There has been a lot that's been happening in my life, especially with college, but plenty has been added since the last Progress Log I posted here.

Additionally, Roa has an itch.io page that you can find be found here:
