Today's #WIPSnips is another look at Gwen's relationship with her mother... And her father. Short and sweet this time!

Today's #WIPSnips (Moon) is a recurring motif that I'm trying to work in whenever I can. Lots of symbolism I'm aiming for, but the plain beauty of the moon and associated nature is worth appreciating at face value, too!

Our introduction to Gwen's mother early in the story, as well as a demonstration of how invasive "the corporation's" infrastructure is...

My FMC's relationship with her chosen sister is one of my favorites to write. It's such a fun dynamic to build on

The blood of the bond is thicker than the water of the womb!

Just passed the 10,000 word mark on my story. My flow improves more and more as I go, and it's getting a lot faster. I'm actually looking forward to going back, expanding, and editing!

Here's a snippet of my MC, Gwen, dealing with her heel.

Yesterday, I made Pepper, the tavernkeeper. Today, I made her tavern: The Perch! We've got work to do, but here's a clip showing my favorite part: rotational sunlight! Pepper's Perch is well on its way to certified cozy 😌🍻

Just a little behind for #screenshotsaturday but here is the first actual look at my game, Words of the Woods! You play the role of the Chronicler, and your job is to capture the essence of your town and neighbors through writing!

The "farmer" templates! We'll control them for activities in town. Players will be able to freely swap between them and, in time, customize them more completely. Functionality and flexibility inspired by the beautiful @fieldsofmistria.bsky.social!

Big changes! The large versions are full-sized renditions of the characters (dialogue, etc?) and the little mini-mes will be player-controlled. This will fit both my still-low-level animation skills AND my desire to have adorable little dudes in my game!

This might be my most drastic makeover yet. What started as the Engineer (which I really was not happy with and didn't really fit the fantasy setting) to the Seeker! Took forever to find a pose but I love this guy

I think I'm halfway through redoing my characters! I did the Strategist today. Meant to be a commanding presence without actively wielding his weapon, his initial form was... not great. And it was actually easier to brush him up than my last few!

I've completed another makeover! The Paladin was the very first character I made. I wasn't necessarily dissatisfied with him, but I felt like his early creation was starting to become apparent. I might revisit the tome idea, but I like how he turned out!

Another day, another makeover! This time is the Thunderbird! Originally an "Arcane Archer" theme, her original look doesn't suit the how the class evolved. Still love the original and will probably reuse the fox-girl idea later, but for now, I'm happy!

Didn't know about #screenshotsaturday, so here's this!
I reworked my Shieldmaiden sprite (my least favorite by far) into something I'm really happy with. She needed to be SPRUCED up big time, and it's night and day how much more satisfied I am with her now!
