Welcome to Tales of Amythria! A fantasy adventure #visualnovel about taming wild dragons, making new friends, and discovering a few dark mysteries along the way....

As a small update to this, I'll be taking the rest of the week off any hard development to rest and be back on my A-game!
So.... Turns out burn out is real y'all!
Remember to take rests and actually stick to a schedule that allows that for you. Don't be like me lol

Ahhhh the wonderful time of year where I, as a creative person with limited time, figure out how to get 10+ crafts done for holiday gifts, AND work on my game to meet deadlines.
If anyone's got a spare time turner that'd be great!

Figured since ChatGPT is trending, I would say that my works and projects are NEVER made with any form of generative AI at any point.
Not the conceptual phases, not the writing or editing phases, coding, nowhere.
I was put on this earth to create, and I refuse to ever lease that out to a robot.

I had my first chapter reviewed by several author friends of mine, and it came to glowing reviews!!
Especially happy it was compared to Stardew Valley and Legends and Lattes in quality and comfort/fun 🥳😄
Excuse me while I ride this high for the next few days!

When I write for Tales of Amythria, I never realize how much it feels like processing some of my own stuff through characters
Unfortunately this leads to my crying at my own descriptions of grief and loss 😭

Back from camping and ready to continue development!!
Lots of edits to the script, art assets and implementation to gear up towards the demo release. While making time for fun fall-time activities hehehe
I'm also planning longer dev log posts on Tumblr!

I finally got my dialogue system to be a lot more flexible and allow for much easier implementation of branching choice paths!
Only took like 8ish hours to figure out I just needed to tweak one line of code, after trying a ton of more complicated solutions 😭

Today, I made a solid asset list and schedule of release for the demo (to be announced!) and spent a few hours experimenting with some art style shenanigans that proved unnecessary in the end lol

Which just means Tales of Amythria will finally be back on a regular dev schedule!
I'm so excited to have time and energy again •́ ‿ ,•̀

How's everyone's week going? I hope you're taking care of yourself even if things feel hard or exhausting😊
it's been so busy this week with the GDoC expo and my normal schedule that game dev has taken a back seat, but that's ok since I'm learning and resting which is progress!
