#devlog Year 3, day 22:
Was this a Dick novel you'd see an Ubik ad, or your Japanese boss gifting you a Mickey Mouse watch.
My #visualnovel offers a detective asking the wrong questions and a shrink giving the wrong therapy.

#devlog Year 3, day 19:
Giò. Default name for my #visualnovel main character.
Phonetically perfect translation of "Joe" - like Joe Chip
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubik
Recommended reading for those who want to shiver whenever they feel a coin in their pocket.

#devlog Year 3, day 16
I've been told I'm obsessed with my #visualnovel. Addicted.
That I should stop living in my head and go back to the real world.
They're wrong.
I'm writing *because* I fell too deep into the real world.
I write to stay afloat.

#devlog Year 3, day 13
Writing my way out of story arc 2 - day 26.

Characters bite, scream, bleed.
I throw them lifelines and they spit them back at me.

Does not feel like writing anymore.
I'm not the author.
I'm just the idiot who thought he could keep the door shut.

#devlog Year 3, Day 7
Using a legacy posing tool and GIMP for my #visualnovel assets.
Passable, most of the times.
Once in a while, it surprises me.

#devlog Year 3, day 4
《People come in two flavours:
1) those who like cuddles - admit it - enjoy them
2) those who like cuddles - do *not( admit it - enjoy them anyway

Goes straight in the ideas bucket for my #visualnovel third arc.
Guess who's saying that...

Year three,day one.
Bugs in,release out.
Pizza with kids,always fun.
