Monthly Update (April 2026)
Hello everyone, happy April!
Spring is in the air (along with my allergies, unfortunately...)
What did I do last month?
MindMindMind was very kindly translated into Brazilian Portuguese by Samara Marx, so I implemented and tested it! It's so cool seeing my game in different languages, and I got quite a few comments from people who played the translation, which is amazing!
The backgrounds were Villainfall were also completely finished (barring any random last minute additions, I always seem to manage to add scenes as I write...) They look very nice, and I can't wait to show them off in game.
I also completed a detailed outline for Countdown to Midnight! I had a more barebones outline completed before, but I fleshed it out quite a bit and wrote a much more detailed event flowchart. Countdown to Midnight will be an "adventure game" style title, where you wander around a city map and interact with people and collect items to progress the story - It's my first time trying out this kind of gameplay, so I was experimenting with a few different methods of outlining it/fleshing it out (sketching out what items/interactions the players needs to acquire to progress, and so on and so forth.) I ended up pretty happy with the result. Hopefully the production is smooth!
I also continued working on the Karamu artwork! Honestly while looking at my old art for it, I realized how so many of the compositions were a bit samey... (well most of it is a conversation between two people in a bus stop, I guess that's unavoidable...) But I do want to try to make it more visually interesting! So you might see me start to do stuff that's more experimental (okay, so maybe making the characters little cute bobble heads won't do much for the eerie atmosphere but... they came out cute, so...)
What am I going to do this month?
This month I'll be working on Karamu and MHIAS! Both games will be participating in some Steam festivals in May, so I'll mainly be preparing for that. I'd also like to get back into the swing of writing regularly (I was doing so good at the beginning of the year...)
I hope that everyone has a happy April, and see you next month!
