Chatterbox's implementation of Yarn continues to be great for just messing around with dialogue and text. I wrote a few intro sentences and memories to test this fireside memories idea and now it randomly combines them when you look at the fire.

Please pretend this gif is of a Switch 2. I still don't own one 😅

My current travel work setup I animated this on, pretty similar to what I used when travelling Japan last year.
Just has waaaay more stickers on it now!

SAW share's a building with The Gainesville Fine Art Association's gallery and there's a nice symbiotic relationship going on with the two spaces. Love this giant sized Exquisite Corpse show they're running right now.

Been working out of the Sequential Artist Workshop (SAW) while I'm in Gainesville, a really incredible community space/library/workspace for comic artists.

"Meet me at the 3.5" disk table at Satchel's Pizza, we're going to violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act"

Grabbed dinner at Satchel's Pizza next door and it couldn't have been more obvious that they used the Repurpose Project for their interior and exterior decorating.

Visited the Repurpose Project, a sort of used goods/junk shop with a bit of an Active Surplus (original location) vibe, and good taste in punk music.

Got up early this morning to do some volunteer grave digging!

That graffiti was inside this neat broken-down truck by an outside food area.

I have no idea how popular Zork was in Japan but there was inexplicably a Japan only port of Zork 1 for Sega Saturn, given a kinda Sound Novel style treatment.

I guess it was at just about the right time for the Sound Novel boom, so that might actually explain it!

I think Wizardry was a much bigger hit in Japan than Ultima, so not surprised it got one and Ultima didn't. The Ultima games did get manga though!

Been mostly doing behind the scenes work on #GoblinGirlGame this week. Stuff like refactoring most of the in game text to work with Chatterbox. So here is a set of cute cactus enemies from my "enemy ideas sketch file" for #screenshotsaturday.

Haven't posted about it, but I was able to work full time on #GoblinGirlGame over the summer thanks to a grant from Ontario Creates.🍁
