devlog: (mostly audio)
moved my music setup to linux finally. new track snippet with the capture below.

writing the script alone takes about 5-6 times longer than plain fiction. between this and the layouts and music, progress is happening.

game is at roughly 15k words now. (the itch build is 6k)

this sorta turned into a weekend update at this point.

more engine work. chapter select, replay, and rewind made writing much easier for testing live updates so that i can work faster. new audio tools to use exported stems and mess with tracks in script

speaking of layouts, this one looked nice.

devlog: save/load was over my head like the sword of damocles because i kept pushing the issue back. now the buttons actually work as they should. huge relief

the intro chapter takes place during the winter solstice, which is today in the northern hemisphere. happy otherworldly entity gathering day

writing on the next chapter is underway -- but i got distracted enough to make the CRT related things fit the palette. having simultaneous effects is fun and makes the "wall" more imposing.

looks like the next part will be about three to four times larger than the intro that's playable now.

happy #hypnovember

the demo for instinct, a furry VN with hypnosis themes and swirls is out.

totally free and runs in browser (not mobile, sorry).

it's about thirty minutes of content about butlers and demons and partying. three music tracks in there, too.
