Hey there! I'm Adana (pronounced uh-Day-nuh), an author, illustrator, and indie game developer.
Some fun facts about me:
· I've written a few fantasy novels.
· I wrote a story for M:tG's Strixhaven world.
· I've written three tarot guides, created two tarot decks and a course for learning tarot.
Woke up today in the mood to make something. Might crack open Godot and go through my old projects first, though.

Omigod. I minimized my art tool and only noticed this just now. This is so cute!!

Why it never occurred to me that that's what happens when you actually add an icon for your game, I couldn't tell you. But it makes me giggle.

One of these days, I'm going to reorganize and decorate my workspace.

First thing on the list is an LED strip to put around the back of my desk. I need more light, and there is no way in hell I'm turning on another lamp.

Or, God forbid... the overhead light. *audible gasp*

I'm realizing that this game idea is a bit more complicated than I thought it would be. Since it's a TCG instead of my usual card game fare, I'm stumbling over the separation of responsibilities for the decks.

I've been drawing a lot this past week, yet for some reason, my knees hurt more than my damn hands.

My PC is crapping out on me.

My tablet screen is scratched to hell.

My headphones are broken.

My keyboard is worn beyond legibility yet again.

I seriously need to do something about all of this.

I bit the bullet and reset my PC. So now I know what I'll be doing for the rest of the daylight hours.

Yay.
So for the past week, my puter has been blue screening every day between 1000 and 1100 like clockwork. And once it starts, it keeps blue screening until I just shut it down.

I've rolled back updates, done system restores, uninstalled programs, reinstalled programs.

And still, it persists.

The GMTK Game Jam is also starting today. Not sure if I'll be participating officially, but I am curious what the theme will be.

Ha! The second I make my second account, my Subscribestar profile gets approved.

Woot!!

I might create a second account for my art, since this one has been all about game dev until three days ago.

That way, I can spam my smut as much as I want (while I'm still fixated on drawing it).

Until then, I should get back to my game.

I've been sketching for five hours and I hate everything in front of me.

Good times.

One of the things that I struggle with the most when it comes to making art is making decisions.

A lot of the time, I'm looking to capture a specific vibe, but I don't have enough data in my mental library to know what decisions will lead to said vibe.

Something to work on, I guess.

I managed to get in an hour of game dev, but now I want to practice drawing...

This is the problem that I have when it comes to doing a thing -- I start hyperfixating and everything else ceases to exist.

Gonna need to figure something out soon, before it gets worse.

Laid down to take a nap, and immediately figured out the game idea that was eluding me yesterday.

Guess I know what I'll be doing tonight.
