Monthly Update: March 2026
Hello everyone, happy March!
Spring is coming~ I live in a naturally warm place, so when I took a trip to a colder area last month I was freezing almost the entire time 😭 Luckily it started to warm up a bit towards the end… (It's sad to know that I've become so weak to the cold 🤣) I hope that everyone had a good February!
What did I do last month?
So as I mentioned in February, I released Update 2.0.0 of MindMindMind! So the first half of February was spent polishing that build - fixing certain GUI screens, fixing some bugs with the language selection, adding in the little expression popups, implementing the Spanish translation, revising the storefront pages, and playing through the game about 10 times in different configurations to iron out the bugs (Web, web on my phone, the Android build, the translated version, the Steam version… and so on and so forth). I thought that I was basically done with the update at the end of January but alas, there's always a million small things that need to be fixed up before any release (hence why all game development takes twice as long as you expect…) It was my first time implementing a translation as well as implementing achievements for Steam specifically, so it was a very good experience (hopefully each release makes me a little faster at doing all this…)
The rest of the month was a bit slow since I was on a trip and away from my desk. I DID STILL GET THINGS DONE because I'm nothing if not a workaholic apparently, but it was mainly a variety of little, miscellaneous tasks that I could hammer out in an hour or so. This included various adjustments to the GUI for Countdown to Midnight, Rohais, the Karamu Trilogy, and My Husband is a Stranger (fixing scrollbars, implementing SFX, implementing content warnings, refactoring the dialogue screens, and so on).
I also got a couple people who reached out to me to provide additional translations for MindMindMind! Hopefully you'll be able to see those sometime soon~
Lastly, I continued redoing the artwork for Karamu, for when it's implemented in trilogy format! To be honest these have been like 90% completed since last fall, but I was being so fussy about the rendering at that time that I only finished and polished them up now… At first I thought that redoing Karamu's art was a bit unnecessary since it wasn't eye-blindingly bad, but putting the old and new versions side by side made me realize that - "Yeah I'm really glad I'm redoing all this…" Raku looks much softer and cuter now, my precious little emotional manipulator 😏 And hopefully it'll look much more consistent with the artwork from the third installment!
What am I doing this month?
Since the MindMindMind update is out, this month I'll be returning to work full time on the Karamu Trilogy and My Husband is a Stranger! Hopefully I'll make good headway on both projects, fingers crossed 🤞 (alas, I keep getting new ideas for MHIAS and keep wanting to expand the script… someone save me from myself…)
Thank you to everyone who's following along, and see you next month!
