Electric Zine Maker (windows/Mac) is an adventure in itself - an art toy that's a fully functioning... Thing. A thing that lets you make zines. A zine maker.

FINALLY.

After a while of being lost to file-hosting hell, the complete webcomic I made from 2019-2021 "DIST_RUST" has been fully restored, and is completely readable again!

It's a complete story, and it can be finished in an afternoon, so check it out if you haven't already!

This week's progress! I spent the last few days polishing my latest game jam VN~

- the UI is now fully customized
- the minigame is more reactive and gets more difficult with each try
- I learned how to use Aseprite to add sprite variations and a new CG

An in-game screenshot showing Ze posing with a smile at the front, saying "Always brush your teeth kids," as Gum looks on in abject disapproval and Marshall absolutely loses his mind behind them.

An in-game screenshot showing all five of their sprites dressed in their sleep clothes up in the attic while Marshall shoots up in the middle, shouting "Awoooo, werewolves in London!"

An in-game screenshot of a CG showing the five of them engaged in a raucous pillow fight in the attic, with Marshall in the middle looking like a rabies-infested werewolf. The text says "This continues for a good ten minutes."

An in-game screenshot showing Berek and Gum at the forefront, with Berek angrily gripping Gum's head while Ze leans heavily on his shoulder, slyly letting out a drag from his cigarette and saying "I'm always here."
