YOU LOVE ME, YOU REALLY, REALLY LOVE ME!

Okay, okay, let’s all take a breath while I’m clearly not Sally Field and we’re still several scandals away from an Oscar. But 1,000 views on itch.io? Honestly, for a K-pop survival show in its infancy, that is a damn good start.

Thank you to everyone who followed, played, and judged my life choices this month. I know I’ve been a bit quiet on the official updates, but that’s only because we’re deep in the laboratory building a glow up that actually hits. So, I heard some rumors... I saw Yuri’s diary entry. apparently, the maknae can’t keep a secret. Since she already leaked the news about our technical wizard and those anchors, I might as well give you the official deets.

🛠️ The Technical Exorcism

My developer, Zarifjon, is currently migrating everything to a Custom ReactJS Engine. We are using Zustand for state management, which I’m 90% sure is just a German curse word for "this state is a total mess" lol but who cares? What matters is that you are finally getting a Real Save System so you can stop having a mental breakdown every time you accidentally close your browser tab.

Chapter 3: The Villa (Episodic Release)

This chapter has turned into such a massive narrative beast that I’ve decided to release it week-by-week, survival show style. Here is a look at what happens when the masks finally start to crack (week 1):

Hierarchy of Gold: In this house, the wristband you wear determines if you’re the Queen getting a VIP massage or the servant cutting fruit for the rest of the group.

The Inner Circle: I’m finally letting you inside the heads of the icons with exclusive POVs AKA Noa-ssi & Minjae-ssi. You’ll get to see the world through their eyes in all its lilac-colored, trauma-sparked glory.

Minjae said it best:

"I built them a sanctuary of glass, and he shattered it with a single clap."

The receipts are coming very soon. Don’t blink. (Or do, if you’re a Blink 😉)

»Zustand«  –  13. Januar 2023

Einladung zum Montagsgedicht

Der Zustand meines selbst oszilliert taumelnd, sich aufrappelnd, verzweifelt, hoffend, und wieder zurück.

Pingalla, draufgängerisch wie er ist, von einer Sekunde zur anderen, was unvorstellbar war, ist plötzlich möglich.

Zahnschmerzen, Beerdigungen, die Angst vor dem Weltuntergang verzweifelt nahe, Angst und Verlust weckend.
