sitting with grandama. just thought this was a really cute for some reason, maybe because it represents a moment of calm, even more with the "snow" falling (which it's not really apparent since it's a still image)

this is from ADNARACAJ, my RPGMAKER2003 game :D

yeah i decided on adnaracaj for a name, it's a lazy inversion of the last name but i think it fits and i am terrible at coming with names so this shall serve, hopefully

happy new yerearaear!

i'm still somewhat alive. my absentism is due to the fact that my old computer (after 12 years of service... i think) died and, me being the great archiver that i am, lost most of my progress in JACARANDA. which made me cry for hours on end. but now, in this moment, i possess a new computer, and since i love jacaranda more than i love myself, i couldn't not continue working on it. not exactly working on it, it's a different game technically, but it's still the same "universe", same style but with a slight shift in the vibes and mechanics. i don't know what to call it yet, maybe jacaranda, maybe adnaracaj, maybe Ipe, which is another pretty tree. the thought of just rebuilding it has crossed my mind, of course, but maybe i'm being dramatic but² i fear it just wouldn't be the same, i would just be walking on the shadow of something else. the approach i am taking now feels more comfortable to me because i am not trying to rebuild something lost, i am giving it continuation, not grasping at what the past left for me, but looking at what the future is holding for me. which surprise surprise, has a lot to do with the themes of the game.

i thibk the saddest thing is losing the semi-random naming convention. but i will make it appear again.

happy new year! from your struly, mero kearo, the creator of jacaranda and its sucessor, [name of the thing]

making some form of "police" station, and this is the reception. i have no idea how a police station looks like from inside, but reality fidality certainly is the least of my worries.

i really liked how it turned out, red

from JACARANDA :^:] (smiling face with a septum piercing)

[merokearo]

added a pseudo-random name generator for a game mechanic. this is a collection of my favorite results, please enjoy these as much as the sleep-deprived me have.

of course, this is from JACARANDA :7

[merokearo]

JACARANDA looks really cool!!! excited to play it when it releases. how far through development do you think you are?

thank you for the kind words! i'd like to say i'm close to 10%~15%? altough i fear that this may be a overestimation : l

still, i hope that you stick with me through this "journey"! ⵎ^:

the cave pathway, JACARANDA

no better feeling than choosing a different artistic choice, and seeing that it was absolutely better than whathever the fuck it was before

[merokearo]

i think this goes hard idk

my first try in making some sort of puzzle. i am not great at it, but i think it checks for the bare minimun of what a puzzle is.

i hve observed that, if you press buttons fast enough during the puzzle sequence, it gets all fucked up. which is fucked up. but ill figure somethin out, i hope

making funny little images when you interact with "specific" objects. a little useless on the side but in the end i just want to draw images and write almost centered texts
