@the-flawless-defect
The Flawless Defect is largely a working title at the moment; but its messages and themes currently tackle mental health and societal issues. It is also the sequel to @still-thinking-about!

Which OC was arrested for everything?
OLD old old content again! Mostly filling up the tfd archive over at @the-flawless-defect. But oh... Ivannnnnnn... here, have him.
This old dev log for @the-flawless-defect is KILLING ME.
Surely if I destroy my sense of self and become a vessel for the desires of others I'll become worthy of love right. That's how it works right
The various iterations of this game are actually so varied it's ASTONISHING. Do you know how much versions of this story exists?
2018-2019: Voltron Comic
Yes. You read that correctly... it was a Voltron Comic. Wasn't happy with the adam plotline at the time, so I gave Shiro a new lover to fall in love with. He was a surgeon who worked at the Garrison and also taught classes on first aid. I can't remember what I had planned for the ending, but his signature jacket from is corruption era came from this design.
2020: Novel
Probably the briefest stage of development. Forget this ever happened. Hidden side antagonist placed beside original characters for a series where something random happens every hour in the world.
2020-2024: Animated Original Series
OC recycled with new characters and occupations. Now an animated series about a mayor who inevitably corrupts under the pressure of an ever changing climate dystopia. Not a protagonist anymore, but antagonist. By allying himself with the greater censorship of the world (and its truths) in the name of justice. Found out one of his former students ended up becoming a criminal and refugee by doing the exact things he taught her not to do or even try, and is also hunting her down too.
2024: Visual Novel
A game in which Ivan is bestowed ten different lives he could live out based upon the player's choices, with each serving a moral lesson and being drastically different from the rest. The last ending only obtained when you've obtained the rest, tying all said lessons and themes together.
2024-2025: Visual Novel
The "romance" route from said aformentioned game. Shortened to that route alone, because it was too much to tackle all at once at the time. Became a game that explores amatonormative concepts and ideas with a little bit of spice added in about change and dealing with that. Honestly, the plot is really shaky, but it's interesting to flip through the script. (Yes, that's Ivan getting chased by the cops.)
2025-Present: Visual Novel
An experimental, non-linear, game mechanic heavy, metafictional game that explores the consequences of a frictionless society. One that elevates the impassioned as pathologized or criminal on a literal, assumed, or figurative level. All explored through Ivan's eyes through multiple accounts and interactions + conflicts.
Brief dev log because I forgot to do that today. So so much writing has been done for The Flawless Defect today; my every waking moment practically is spent being super excited for this game at this point! Great great greeaaaat progress. Majority of the writing is really shaping up.
I announced a bit more about it somewhere on Instagram strangely, but I'm planning to talk more about this game on other platforms. These dev logs just won't be sufficient enough/do the game enough justice me-thinks. So I'm making plans for that!
Also, regarding progress on the game... there hasn't been much, but I'm getting back into gear. So many life events happened last week, but I'm feeling super motivated and inspired again.
In the time since I last posted though, I've mostly been creating the game's first written draft since my outline is somewhat finished (I say somewhat, because there's a tiny bit more I'm adding in). But I've been drafting using google docs, and I gotta say, I love the tabs feature. I can just drag scenes around in or out of order. Sure is story rich this whole narrative, lot of plan. I feel writing is going to take the longest! But it'll be sooo worth it.
First dev log for The Flawless Defect, oh wow. Doing a bunch of writing today, and the ending makes me weep already.
During the past few weeks though, I've mostly been gathering and centering/finalizing the impact or message of the story. As well as gathering a ton of visual inspiration for a better general feel/idea for things. That's been INCREDIBLY fun. Have I said how much I love experimental work here yet?
One of my primary inspirations of all things is the mixed-media styling that exists in The Tatami Galaxy. Have a look-see...
whump is fun because you see a character and are like “i love you so much that i want to see you sobbing and covered in blood. i need you dying in a hospital bed. i need you cold, wet, and miserable. i love you and want you to suffer unimaginable horrors. then you can have a kiss on the head as a treat”
It's true... I'm sorry Ivan. Look what I've done to you through the years. 😔
CHAT, STAY!! LISTEN!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
me loving the problematic age gap even if it wasn't thematically significant
YES!!! YESS!!!!!!! YESSSS!!!!!!!!!! Oh, you and me BOTH. 🤝
I will always find intrigue in them. Bonus points if it's between those in positions of power (eg. Student/teacher, parent/child, etc.) and there is power dynamic stuff going on. It's SO good! So messed up!!!!!!!! I love it!!!
ABSOLUTELY 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
also
pathologization you say? 👁️👁️ (curious) (inviting more details)
This portion underlined in blue might give you a curious idea.
Generally speaking, the story is about that! It happens to also take place in a climate dystopia (ommg, just like Mechfia?!), but that's only mildly as relevant to its themes and messaging.
I'm still ironing out the story's general twists and turns! But everything centers my OC Ivan! And how increasingly, increasingly he feels more and more like the world around him is simply not prone to be mistaken enough in the wonderful year of 3006.
Everything feels eerily perfect, functional, and resound of mind... but him. Ensue psychological horror.
I love characters who are extremely hypercompetent and simultaneously massive losers
I should post/make more memes of him... there is too much potential.
He makes me VERY unwell this year... anyway, I haven't forgotten about this project. Most of my time has just been spent trying to get another game up and working.
Have a music wip because, yeah.
