I'm not perfect. No one is. And nothing I make will ever be perfect. I'm going to get bad reviews, it's just going to happen. But I won't know my weaknesses unless I ask.

I have to try. I have to put myself out there and get rejected. Everyone I know who ever existed put themselves out there. I can't keep being a bitch about it.

Today's work is just to import more dialogue into the game. No stream b/c unity is a bit slow on my internet!

I’m sure it won’t last but as of THIS VERY MOMENT I have 600 followers 🫣🎊🍾
To say thanks and celebrate I will draw someone a chibi of their OC! To enter you must be following me and retweet this. I’ll choose a winner on Halloween! 🎃 (even if it goes down from 600 by then)

Its a big project and it's still rough around the edges but knowing that people are excited and are willing to wait has given me so much motivation to keep working! ✨️

But also I want to thank everyone who has left me a comment or even just a like on this project! It's been a huge help and it's been fueling me to keep working on this project for the last half-year!

I decided to extend the testing period for this game because for Ziva and HiM I had limited testing and the end products were a bit clunky and buggy and I decided to try something different and put in a few rounds of testing for Butterblue.

It tested poorly back in March as well as the few mini plays I've gotten out of friends, so this will be... interesting. 😅

Okay. I think I've got the majority of Butterblue ready to go. I need to change up a bit of the dialogue order but it's essentially ready for beta tests.

Aaahh I'm just so excited the Save/Load feature is working. 🥺💞 It was really hard to program for me but I learned so much! First time using Seralization.

Save/Load is now working. 👏😎😎😎

It won't be the full game and I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get Peytons big reveal scene bc I'm still not happy with the pacing of that scene so I'll probably keep it out.

The new dialogue with Fanny and the random villagers won't have sprites associated with them but I feel like it'll give an impression of what I'm going for.

I know it's like a week until I'm supposed to drop Butterblues first beta build but I'm adding more dialogue options and moving Peytons intro scene. 🤣

Like I realize this is a very common/basic Hot Take but damn I can't believe I just had to click an invisible button to turn the racism off. Why is that button turned on in the first place?!??!

Honestly.... I feel like tech companies are culpable for the rise in alt-right/reactionary thinking around the world. The fact that this stuff is prioritized in the algorithm just to increase clicks is horrible.

Half of my brain: Aw this scene is sweet and clearly a lot of love is put into this
The other half of my brain: LOOOOL Nah bro.

Not to mention that the contusions from a fall are completely different than the other thing and your body immediately starts going into rigor mortis and basically: there's no way they wouldn't be caught for doing what they did.

TW: S word - It's actually one of the first things they check for during an autopsy of a suspected S word because your neck bones are incredibly delicate and the only time they ever really break is when there's sustained pressure applied to it.

I was reading the plot of Omori yesterday and I had to laugh at myself because there's a part at the end about a murder being passed off as something else and I was like "ah, that wouldn't work because it would show on autopsy".
