I don't really wanna go too into it because it's still in the concept stage, but I really like how the story is forming in my head.

"Chimera Burger" is just one idea in the story that showed up in my head as like a placeholder, but it's grown on me, so now I'm sticking with it.

I do like that this idea is making me feel inspired!

That's something I've been really lacking for the past few months, especially as I adjust to my new state of being (health issues)

So we'll see if I can keep it up and HOPEFULLY, it won't be like the last times.

Sorry again.

Normally, I work with Renpy since my genre is primarily in VNs because I'm mainly a writer.

But for this new project (PLEASE DON'T KILL ME FOR STARTING A NEW PROJECT, I KNOW), I'm going to be experimenting with Godot for a bit to see if I can get a concept build of my idea.

Hopefully it works out

Maaaan, I'm so behind on shit x-x
Reaaaaalllllly need to buckle down and focus on stuff.

...maybe after I finish watching this k-drama

It was so stupidly easy once I sat down and tried to figure it out, that I feel dumber.

How easy was it?

You definitely did better for your first solo project than the first VN I ever made. Definitely wrapped your head around the concepts a lot quicker than me as well, you've got real talent and I hope to see you continue to improve as time goes on ^u^

Was having a very good, productive time organizing my lore notes.... and then suddenly, EXISTENTIAL DREAD! It was a very, very, VERY extreme attack that time. x-x

So, I'm now just laying down and watching some King of the Hill to calm down. Sorry. x-x

I wanna write, I wanna draw, I wanna do dev work...
But my hand hurts... so I can't without excruciating pain or typing very slowly. :(

Be me: "Alright, I'm gonna do some organizing and fixing up stuff related to projects and comm sheets."

Also me: "...why did I just spend 4 hours going on a deep dive into xenomorph biology and history. I don't even really care for the alien franchise!"

Had a weird encounter today where I get on a packed train. There's a guy who I stand next to because it's the only place I can go, and he tells me to move somewhere else because he, "doesn't like men standing near him"

Whatever, I just move a few steps away, not worth dealing with whatever that was

How many jobs did he have again? Was it a number greater than or equal to one?

I put a cushion on my chair, thinking that maybe my feet hurt when I sit because the chair is too low and so there's too much weight being distributed to that region.

....Tell me, why now, with the cushion, do my FEET NO LONGER TOUCH THE FLOOR?! AM I THAT SMALL?!

I'M NOT SMALL! PLEASE! BELIEVE ME!

This simple ruler is one of my closest companions at concept sketches.

I wish I could show the piece, but can't right now. Mostly because I wanna get further in pre-production before I start showing things, but also because I wanna make content out of the work process later.

Hope people like it!

I think... I've become acutely aware lately of my issues with language and odd way of speaking. Lately, a lot of the stuff I write/say "sounds wrong" and I'm not sure why or what's happening to me...

Maybe it's just all in my head? Maybe I'm overthinking it? Dunno.

I wonder if it should be a running gag that Tea & Torment does not have a logo yet. We have a mascot, but no logo.

side note: If anyone's wondering if they should get Ruan Mei or Luchoa. Get Luchoa, he's one of the best healers in the game and his talent synergizes very well with Castorice's health draining.

Oh, turns out, I actually had even more stellar jades than originally pictured. What do I even spend it on now? I guess Acheron or something? Lord knows I'm not pullin' for Eidolons.

Oh, btw that's like 99% jade farming, not whaling. I think in total since I started saving maybe like... 30$?

LITERALLY MY FIRST 10X PULL! Specifically, 8th roll.

I AM BOTH ANGRY AND RELIEVED THAT I DIDN'T NEED TO GO EXTRA JADE FARMING! But also annoyed because now I have to wonder if I want to spend the rest of this and on WHAT?! >:[

Way to use up all my year's worth of luck on a gacha game. >:[

So, this is how much I had prepared because I know how star rail's system can be when it comes to rolls and how much it takes to get one character.

That's about... I'd say... 7-8, 10-ticket rolls? So that's about... one chance at a 50/50 for the banner roll. Well....

Ya know, before I was Dusk, I wanted to be a manga artist.

I did create some stuff but it seems I forgot everything about how I used to outline and lay out panels. It's a very visual process and I'm not very good at that. :(

Maybe I should try a different paneling method?
