#vndev #vnlink everything's moving, can't wait til i can share more!

but in the meantime, i've been really focusing on building dynamics between the characters and implementing more methods of observing those dynamics.

the bioware fan in me is delighted... i get to write party banter!

#vnlink #vndev much progress, much implementation, and MUCH outline. the last of the major systems have been implemented in their first forms, the demo has been scoped, and i can now fully spend my time writing!

#vnlink #vndev did a ton of UI work the last couple days and my brain is breaking from moving things slightly to the left and then slightly down and then slightly up again. but loving what i have so far - learning a lot about how to make the visual aspect more interesting with variety and dynamism!

absolutely LOVEEEE some central asian rep!!! what a cutie!! let's go Айна~ <3

weekly progress: finished complete pass at implementing mechanics, did a ton of outlining... and wrote some day 1 scenes! #vnlink #vndev

meet anahita <3

so very excited to see what @orcmouse.bsky.social continues to create for my VN in development, the bitter end!

The best game narrative of the year will always be the lesbian visual novel that only 20 people have played

placeholder bg still but starting to mess with more ui! i don't have great handwriting, but i think it does the job! #vndev

succeeded in my weekend sprint of implementing skeleton gameplay loop! what do you think of these not-really-difficulty choices? #vndev #renpy

starting off focusing on just mechanics... no art yet so just trying to make a simple placeholder ui nice enough for me to work with! #vndev #renpy

hey #vndev! just finished the #renpy tutorial, so it begins!
