Hey everyone ! As May is starting (it's gonna be May ♫ anyway ...), here's some life and blog update with some important changes for a short time for the blog so feel free to read or ignore it.
Also enjoy the new header !
Hope you're all safe and feeling great ♥
As my life update impacts the blog one I'll start with a little life update.
Life Update then :
As you may know, I was unemployed from January since this week. I was living on my savings but now I'm struggling a lot with money, I have to call my bank in order to negociate some kind of credit extension before I get an advance on my first pay but I will only get it after May 15th. That means I totally depend financially on my roomate which is not the best situation. In order to be able to buy food for the next couple of weeks, I sadly decided to introduce the tips option here. This is not meant as a cry for help, my roomate is actually okay to help me, but it's a solution for now (even though I feel already terrible to do it U_U). So, what will happen to the blog now that tips is optionnal ? I will delete the tips option mid May when I'll get my finances on track again.
Blog Update :
Well, nothing will change :)
As mention above, this is totally an option and if you follow me, you already know that all my content will always be free. As I don't have time for cc making right now, I won't do early access content or else. You can tip only if you want and mostly if you can (like you're a super rich heir who don't know how to spend daddy's millions .... If you struggle like me, keep your tip to treat yourself please ♥) Basically it's like donating to an author you like to read or a singer you like to hear I guess.
For the content of May I've planned to continue DH2. Episode 1 is ending this week (probably today as I'm working on the next parts) and episode 2 will start. I've also planned more edits and maybe lookbook as I've been enjoying doing these a lot lately. I've also planned to reblog more stuff and I'm working on a ressources page (finally !).
I hope you're all fine and well, surrounded with love ♥ if you ever feel the need to talk, interract or just vent, feel free to dm me anytime.
Wow - I can't believe it's already May! I've been able to get A LOT done this month, making me really hopeful for next month's progress. While there are definitely areas where I could have worked harder, I'm really pleased with how far I've come. Thanks again everyone for all your support (especially now that I've officially passed 100 itch followers! Wohoo!)! Current progress stands at:
✍🏼 Writing
Worked on some Logan route revisions (will probably continue/finish it this month)
Wrote a bit more in the bonus content and walkthrough booklets, getting both about halfway complete
🎨 Art
Drew some additional details and bg characters for the extra stories. See Logan's coat and a pup above!
Finished drawing and implementing 5th AND 6th CG!!!! Which I was NOT expecting, since both require 12 variations for the MC.
LOTS of backstory art
💻 Coding
More or less completed basic phone message implementation - will def need to QA them though
Coded basic replay events for the "theater" extra
Coded basic achievements for each route
Debugged karaoke/music room!
🤔 Other
I need to make more TikToks lollll
I'm continuing to update my social media (check out my Twitter for more quick updates)
And there's May! I've honestly accomplished a lot more than I expected and I couldn't be happier. I'm hoping for next month to make more marketing posts, finish revision edits to the basic script, begin adding customization/flavor text to all routes, and at least one CG done with a few extra doodles for the bonus content booklet. I may even start writing the bonus stories! In any case, we're getting closer and closer to autumn so it's go time!!!
