quiteadept.itch.io/dod/devlog/1...

I was busy planning a wedding and haven't made much progress in the past 100 days, but ALL of the voicework and character anims are done, LET'S GO!!!
screenshot of gameplay - five characters are shown on screen in front of a purple tinted dungeon background - in the dialogue box at the bottom of the screen, the highlighted character, Ghett, says "Yes. Though there looks to be a few more at the end of the hall here."

this file is named "Logo2_final_FINAL.png" so you KNOW it's never getting updated again...

screenshot of gameplay - five characters are shown on screen in front of a purple tinted dungeon background - in the dialogue box at the bottom of the screen, the highlighted character, Akari, is discussing what to do with the two characters on the right - the dialogue reads "Well, we have to keep an eye on you while you're down here, so... you'll be in our custody until we can escort you to the surface. And we'll figure out what to do with you after that."

UPDATE CASTING CALL - I need to take 48 hours to recover after receiving 100 (one entire hundred) submissions for voicework over on Casting Call Club

2 of the 3 roles are filled and the 3rd (helmeted adventurer in the screenshot below) is paused for now. If you applied for it, I'll get back to you!
screenshot of gameplay showing three pixel art characters in front of a pixel art background of a mountain valley - the male character on the left is speaking and the two female characters to his right are dimmed because they are not speaking - the male character is labeled with the name Duro and says "Ah, of course. Akari was it? Well met... This is Keiva"

just finished another background for my #VN project... I'm loving the foreground and background tones, but something about the green in the, uh, midground seems off... oh well...

here's what a year and a half of #PixelArt improvement looks like...

I finally figured out how to pixel hands...

so my game won't have a map; the player will have to make their own map (i.e. on graph paper) based on the descriptions of the dungeon in the dialogue...

but I went ahead and made a map for myself, just for reference... I can't share the whole thing, but here's a snippet:

sometimes you can make a photo more interesting by turning it upside down...

often the same is true for one's outlook on life... ah, sweet reflection...

this is my favorite of the few poems I've written... I hope it is okay to share it with the kind people of the internet... you can tell me what you think of it if you are into that sort of thing, even if we don't know each other...

I wonder what my body would sound like, slamming against those rocks, and when it lands, will my eyes be closed or open?

screenshot of text: Color Conveyance If it was flaxen, Simple and comforting, Were that to be desired; Then, would I wonder, How far would you take me? Oh, were it golden, Novel and beaming, So surely desired; Would you lay with me, Or take it all away? So I must discern How to choose it; For I'm expected to convey it Without ever knowing What it looks like...
