glad you had an awesome birthday!! :DD

i noticed that doing like OC memes/ meme templates + inserting OCs does get traction but you also have to put some amount of effort into the art at least (and editing if you know how to etc.) tho like w anything you have to be real consistent before you see any results... 🥲

it's gross you have to create the thing you created, it's unironically such a pain

i forgot to mention, twine is primarily an interactive fiction game program (text-based games) but with sugarcube you can add images (it's still good for planning narrative branches etc.) there's also binksi which is more like twine (kinda) but a very limited VN engine

renp'y (python-based) is super accessible! twine, even more so (runs on html) :D there's also a twine to renp'y tool which translates your twine project to renp'y scripts!! and they're both open-source💗 the devtalk community (discord server) is super friendly for new vn devs too, highly recommend :]

blender is such an uphill battle until you realise you can literally just make whatever you want to learn, goodbye donut and monkey face, hello blorbo #497

i LOVE the low-poly kind of model style, i bet it'll look even cooler when you texture it 🥹

The most important advice IMO
