While I'm really glad that my game is finally out, it's kinda hard to celebrate coz of the heavy rain and potential flooding in my area. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ (Still, yayyyy~)

Apologies for any late replies. Internet's a bit spotty rn.

It's that time of the year again. โ˜น๏ธ
I really want and need to sleep, but I have to stay alert coz there's a chance it'll flood.

Living in a floodprone area is a real pain.

Darkest Dungeon II's narration reminds me a lot of Schitt Creek's Moira Rose.

The vocabulary.

Went to the IGG PH Awards Night earlier. Congrats to the winners! ๐Ÿ†
It was nice catching up with some game dev friends (and getting some fresh air).

Same thoughts here.
I'd rather take some more time polishing everything as much as I can than rushing it out there just for the sake of releasing it asap.

I'm a few weeks off my target, but I made quite a progress redoing Craggenrock's demo.

Expanded story and dialogue, UI/UX improvements, re-balancing, etc. Onto testing next!

I don't usually ask for help debugging my code, but when I do, it's some stupid mistake like a misplaced ")" or referencing variables that doesn't exist.

A bit embarrassing having someone point out something trivial like those ๐Ÿ˜…

I wish I can post something new/flashy for social media, but it's mostly just code, numbers and text changes.

Will post more soon once everything's more fixed up.

Currently still working on the new demo with better story, progression, balance, pacing, etc.
