I used to write Devlogs every month, but then I forgot / got lazy. Figured it might be good to look back at everything we've done so far and all the things still coming.

I am all verklempt. This is more than I ever thought I'd accomplish

because I keep forgetting which account I am on
I just realized something. When I started working on #TheArchivium all I wanted to build was a game where you create spooky books for a spooky library. Now the more I add to it, the more I veer away from horror into the cozy aspects. It's becoming Sims: University the #TTRPG.

Last thing I need is more game ideas, but @rpdeshaies.farirpgs.com is running itch.io/jam/breathle... Corporate day job has been grinding my gears and part of me wants others to suffer along. Absurd & unhinged office horror game? Should I do it? YES? NO? pls circle 😅 #BreathlessJam2

I may or may not be working on a new project and am still waffling on an art direction for it.

That wonderful feeling of submitting files to the approval queue and thinking about how you are going to rest for a few days before kicking off the next project, only to wake up in the middle of the night realizing YOU FORGOT TO DO THE INTERNAL ART and the document has 4 blank pages because of it 😭

I have a millionty things to do: layout for the upcoming expansion, writing for the one after that, recording an actual play for youtube, finishing my doggone rigging. Instead I thought: how about I do none of those and start a #soloRPG and #gamedev blog instead?
