De'Gloughan

I'm now working on chapter 1 and improved accessibility.

Mobile users had to toggle the right side bar to check HP, so I have added a new setting to include party stats in the passage alongside the enemy.

Vaine!! Thank you, Lemon! I love it, just as much as the original magma picture! 🥰

@degloughan.bsky.social
尝试重新画了magma，那一次的画

真是太有趣了，我们得找时间再做一次！

Right, let's have lots more magma fun in future~

In magma with @oppo114514.bsky.social and @2867486826.bsky.social: I made Feane and Frodi's embarrassing ma, and those two showed me up with maid Vaine and slutty Frodi.

Vaine is very angry to be put in another dress, Frodi is happy to wear less, and I'm just happy to see my friends draw. 🖤

Not at all, terrible people are on both sides. We should blame them all. I just don't want the UK scum to get a free pass.

I mention that he is a trained lawyer because this would leave you to think he would be trained to spot lies. His excuse as to why he appointed Mandelson is apparently that Mandelson did not tell him the full extent of his continued friendship with Epstein, even after the Epstein's conviction.

Starmer, a trained lawyer, has as the opposition for previous governments has demanded harsh action against corruption, and rightfully so.

The UK has their own perverts who are bringing down the PM, most noticeably by Peter Mandelson, a politician who has been involved in scandals since 1998.

Starmer, the PM, has admitted that he knew Mandelson was in contact with Epstein even after his conviction and still made him an ambassador.

Now I'm close to finishing the corrections and rewrites, I'm updating the art so the portraits and fully body images share the same shading style.

Here's Tananthia, your cruel boss/owner!

(joyously swoons at the mere possibility)

Seriously though, even if you never return to Kit I'll remain a fan because there hasn't been a game of yours that I've disliked. Everything is top tier. I hope you continue to make these incredible stories for a long time to come!

Is this from Kit? I know you mentioned this is old but does this mean that you will return to Kit in some point in the future? I understand that it won't be anytime soon, if at all, yet Kit remains my favourite of all your work, closely followed by The Last Winter Knight

You art is so beautiful btw

The final full body image for the LIs! And it's king toxic himself, Frodi!

Not a yandere, but a severe psychopath who wants nothing more than to break y- (ahem) toy with you~ 🖤

#interactivenovel #InteractiveFiction #solodev #gamedev #textadventure #twine #game #indiedev #noai #gameart #darkfantasy

Almost done with the full body images for the LIs! Here's Feane! Occasionally craft and always observant, he is somehow also a situational himbo. Also possibly the only non toxic character.

Kelka: the cutie yandere who is crushing on you so hard and maybe wants to break your legs to keep you nearby always and forever.

Who says rogues have to wear black?

Magwyn's new fully body art to go in her profile! Fur is difficult to colour, I will never add it into a design again (this is 95% likely going to end up a lie -but don't call me out on it).

Tidying up the companion pages during breaks from rewriting parts of the game. I love seeing it so organised~ And I'm also adding in more art, because why not?

#InteractiveFiction #solodev #gamedev #textadventure #twine #game #indiedev #interactivenovel

lol love you too!

Look, Frodi just likes to feel fabulous, okay? He's worth it (he thinks).

Sorry, @oppo114514.bsky.social
I forgot to erase parts of Feane's arm and it bugged me. 😭

Now it is correct and perfect! 🥳

@oppo114514.bsky.social Congratulations on finishing all your exams! Since you wanted to know if the guys would ever dress up, I have done this just for you (and you will be able to tell who's happy to do it and who isn't 😅)

Tidying up the profiles so players can keep track of the combat and passive abilities without seeing a block of text. Now it shouldn't get too crazy as the player learns different skills.

Taking a break from writing to update the character portraits, and I'm so happy to see how both they and my art style have developed. Isn't Vaine such a grumpy beaut~?

Just deleted chapter 1 (minus first page) so I have no choice but to write it again with improvements.

Wordcount before: 209, 561
Wordcount now: 134,740

I feel a little nauseous looking at those numbers, tbh.

Well, they deserve the limelight, so keep those pics coming! I appreciate looking at illustrations because I don't really have the attention span to make full images myself, so I always admire those who can. Maybe one day you'll post one so I can gush over it a little.

Ha, I was nosy and looked for some illustrations on your profile but was instead rewarded with adorable cats! Best reward for nosiness ever!

Best of luck when you get back to writing, and I'm sure the illustrations are fabulous~ ♥️

Plot is staying the same, but I'll be moving points around to better pace the overall story. As painful as it is to make more work, sometimes it's necessary to improve, so my grumbling is just me being a drama-lama 😅

How did yours go when you did your overhaul?

It's a genuine pain, isn't it? 😭 Chapter 1 is being reworked entirely but mostly it's just simplifying mechanics. It's so easy to become overambition and forget you're a solo dev doing EVERYTHING from writing, coding, art, editing and bug testing.

Thank you for the sympathy! Much appreciated!🫂

Started TB:W's upheaval today, stripping it of unnecessary elements to make it easier to work on as a solo dev.

Just removed race selection and non human text.
