2/3 This event CG took a long time to finish! It's been super complex to work on considering the amount of hand gestures and character positionings.

Also, expect ambient SFXes including a relaxing rainy scene! 🌧️

That being said, I will push out a fairly large update by the end of the month, at the latest. Can't wait to share how much of DSPPA's progress has been made!

Hey folks! It's been a while since the last time I gave any updates about DSPPA.

I'm still hard at work at it, it's just that ever since I came back from my Japan trip last April that social media has made be a bit... too weary to post project updates. #visualnovel #vndev

I must say among the best parts of the trip were the sakura, seeing students in school uniforms and visiting cultural points of interest.

It's kind of funny how one's understanding of Japan might be mostly through anime and such, until you actually see it for yourself.

Hi folks! It's been a long two weeks but I'm finally home from my #Japan trip! It was rather tiring, but at the same time I had a blast.

I still have much to see of the country but I saw quite a bit in just two weeks! #travel

Excuse the short notice, but guess what?
I'm traveling to Japan tomorrow 😆🇯🇵

Been planning this trip for well over a year. This is a much needed break from my day job (haven't taken PTO in a long while) and being a VN dev... I'm stoked. ^_^ #travel

It's update time, folks!
Trying to get up to speed with DSPPA. Here are a couple event CGs of Paulina (one completed, one #wip). I hope you enjoy what you see here! ^_^

NGL one of the best parts of being a #vndev is the ability to create your own waifus (or husbandos); for me, Café Memoria's Mikaela to Paulina in my recent project.

Nothing wrong with that, right? 🐱

Morning! It's been a rather busy month for me, but here's a devlog update for Paulina's Precious Autumn! wp.me/pBpF8-16X

TL;DR: We're making progress, enjoy some artwork of the protag ^^

Hope you all have a superb day!

NGL my game(s) don't sell much, and it takes *months* in between to see new purchases.
That being said, it's irritating that #itchio requires a min balance of $5 for payouts. @_@

These things I kinda wish my projects were more popular, but better than nothing, heh. ^^; #vndev #gamedev

One goal of mine this year is to finally get a demo released for this project! It's crazy that I've been working on this since 2022 and I haven't released anything as of yet.

Life gets in the way at times, you know? But, I'll make it work! #vndev

Received a surprise in the mail - just thought I'd share a pic that my niece drew for me. I was totally not expecting this, #Nahida's one of my favorite #GenshinImpact characters!

Her drawings have been improving each time we see each other... she's so talented. ♥️ #art #anime

Merry #Christmas from Project Memoria! 🎄
Commissioned this lovely piece of Café Memoria's Ryne & Julia from Cele (@310v3.bsky.social).

Have a safe and wonderful holidays! ^.^

I'm mostly going to use this account as an alt for project updates, but I'll post about other things I like as well.

For starters, I play Genshin on my days off / when I'm taking a break from projects. Here's some fan merch I bought a little while back!

Must say I've had this account for over a year already and I've yet to make a post...

Nevertheless, hello folks! I'm Ryne (aka thebackup / Project Memoria / PixaelSoft) and I'm a #vndev (to those who don't already know).

To those who've seen me elsewhere, nice to see you here! ^_^
