50TH POST!!!!??!!!!!!111!!!!

My blog’s been long overdue on a banner, so let’s do a group photo. From left to right:

Laures: “Y-Yes, I’ll be right--See, Jerdani? This is what I was saying about the transfusion of Riosian energy into empty vessels. It’s really not as terrifying as it sounds, just simply...”

Jerdani: “No, Laures, that sounds exactly as terrifying as it should, and what in the name of any living god is this? Is he hanging? Is he dripping--and that’s clearly a pot of some kind?!”

Ayu: “Don’t invoke a god’s presence to explain your incredulity, Jerdani. It’s not good for your longevity. Kaden, you seem unsettled; can I help you?”

Kaden: “No... and don’t needle me either. Please let’s get this over with...”

In other news, I’ve also launched a writing-only blog over at andagii-writes. Follow me there for solely writing-related stuff.

PS: I have Stardew Valley material coming real soon. Just sayin’.

Face Icons!

Okay so look. 

I’ve... never really seen the results of my own digital work like this. Yes, there’s always room for improvement. Yes, I might even go back later to change the icons, but for now...

I’m pretty proud of myself.

Icon test. I’m really, really proud of myself right now. c:

New Style? New Style!

I’m going to prove that I wasn’t slacking!

Ready?

LOOK! See, I’m doing things!

I looked up some pixel tutorials and tried my hand a bit. I definitely like this style more than the paint-y one before. Sadly, that does mean I have to redo Ayu’s sprite, but I’m already working on it.

The sprites in the tavern here are all placeholders. At least, I’m hoping to design my own sprites, since each area of the game has its own culture that’s not reflected by the stock sprites. Kind of. So even if I don’t do my tilesets, at least I have the sprites and characters to call my own.

Riosian Key: Father’s Reports

Let’s talk a little bit about Rodrick Maxwell.

Mainly because it’s his fault that I paused writing the main story. Reports can’t write themselves, y’know?

He’s an elite mage of the Miyako Council of Mages, and holds an influential position among his colleagues. The Council knows Rodrick has a tendency to disappear periodically, then reappear again with a new research report to publish.

Jerdani didn’t inherit her father’s magical propensity, but she knows the nature of his work well enough that she can identify Rodrick’s work just from his writing alone.

Fortunately for her, Rodrick’s published work is so prolific that she may find his reports in a variety of locations across Rios. Do they contain clues regarding Rodrick’s disappearance? 

You’ll have to find them to see.

And who knows? You might uncover an interesting secret if you find them all...

Riosian Key: Blog Content

As I’m at the 80% mark of writing the story draft, I can’t say a whole lot in terms of synopsis.

But!

I figure now is as good of a time as any to really get into the world of The Riosian Key, especially the characters you’ll be spending your time with. I did brief character introductions before, but you all deserve something more meaty and juicy, so I’ll be working on those for your.

Don’t worry though! These won’t distract me from actual game production. 

In fact, it’ll help me get my thoughts straightened out.

I just re-re-re-realized that I’m sitting on 30 followers.

Good golly ya’ll, oblivious should be my middle name.

Anyway, if I’m slow at getting back to you, sorry. But, thank you all the same.

I promise, I’m going to keep working hard at this.
