Dev Diary: Finally climbed out of a 3-week code hole.
Been wiring up @hannahatraguthra.bsky.social's world design for Fractured Library, fixing bugs, & living off caffeine. The demo’s live, storms have cleared!

A pixel art scene from Fractured Library. Kayak, a witch in a red hat, stands by a campfire near the library while Hazel approaches from the forest path. The library’s dark-blue walls are covered in vines and greenery. A dialogue box reads: “Good news: the storms have finally stopped, and Inkthistle Hollow looks mostly normal again.”

More pledges came from #Bluesky than any other trackable external source. We wouldn’t have gotten romanceable Kusano-hime without y’all, so: thank you. Y’all are incredible🩷💜💙

We have a little over 24 hours to hit our $5k stretch goal & only around $600 to go, let’s do it!
