just popping in to say that yes, am still alive, am still doing VN dev (slowly) here are some logo designs for amara's #SpooktoberVNJam entry, which is adorable as heck and y'all should play it when it comes out #vndev #indiedev

Aug 5

Update for #vndev: still in Fire Emblem 3 Hopes hell, but using it to unwind, figure out characters, and get back into drawing for Heart Sigil Elchemia Also, this game gives me weirdly cute Rodrigue content and thus is the best game of all time

Felix you have a new second dad now and it's me

Jul 27

For #indiedevhour I would like to announce that I am: 1. on a month-long break from dev to rest and prep for future writing (crunch bad) 2. binging #FEW3H and going feral over Rodrigue being a. playable, b. not [spoilers], and c. you can make him blush on dates LOOK at this

Jul 11

O2A2 ideas: date with an LI, convo between LI and ishim, or just dumb humor the only problem is I always want at least two characters onscreen so you see both people's expressions, and that's not allowed in this jam :|

Jul 9

This is a fascinating game jam that might be a good way to create a short story and jump into VN dev! (I'm considering using it to make a tiny omake for the Heart Sigil characters)

Reflections: Developing for the Long-Term

Jul 8

I wrote up some thoughts about how developing a long-term project project differs from a jam game, why I shouldn't combine the two, and what that means for the way I work on Heart Sigil Elchemia going forward. Check it out! shibalist.itch.io/heart-sigil-el #otome #vndev #indiedev

Now that I've been free of Otome Jam for a week, I wanted to talk a little more at length about the next steps for Heart Sigil Elchemia, what I'd like to have done by the end of 2022, and what I'll...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EGUZEEEEE MY SON MY DEAR MY BELOVED ILY SM ❤️🎂🎊💐🎉🙏💕😊 #heartsigilelchemia

I feel like I should apologize to someone for this but I'm not going to (no canonicity implied, interpret at your own risk, your headcanons are valid regardless of my shitposting, if you ask why Olayn's there I will laugh)

#otomejam ended, so I've finally been able to do more art stuff just for fun🤓 Here's a coloring collab with an artist friend's linearts for all of the Heart Sigil LIs! #otome #vndev #indiedev

Jul 4

there are two kinds of artists (like if you want more fanservice, retweet if you want a beach episode of Heart Sigil Elchemia, and all thanks and apologies to Amiralo for letting me do dumb things with her lineart) #otome #vndev #otometwt #heartsigilelchemia

Jul 3

Now that #otomejam is over again, I finally have time to write up some thoughts and next steps in developing Heart Sigil Elchemia! Check out this devlog for more details and some cool Frey collab art :D getrevue.co/profile/shibal #otome #vndev #indiedev #otometwt

One last set of previews before Heart Sigil Elchemia ch2 releases on 6/30! Every love interest gets time in the spotlight in this chapter, so it should have something for everyone - anyway here's dorks #otome #vndev #indiedev #otomejam

Jun 28

After he was missing from the last post, here's an example of how Lin shows love! It's... well. Huh. Play Chapter 2 of the Heart Sigil Elchemia demo to see what the nerds are talking about🤓 (Will be out in 3 days!) #otome #vndev #indiedev #otomejam

Jun 22

Here's a preview of the upcoming CGs for Heart Sigil Elchemia's next few chapters! There's more not shown here, but well... spoilers :9 (this is why I wanted to release ch4 sooner, but crunch is bad! Ch2 out by 6/30) #otome #vndev #indiedevhour #otomejam

Jun 20

Heart Sigil Elchemia chapter 2 (6/30 release) shows off lots of different forms of love! Soma: Loyalty Eguze: Food Risu+Frey: Being total a-holes to each other Register your favorite type below (Lin's will come later! Still coding!) #otome #vndev #indiedev #otomejam

Presenting today, 1.5 weeks before #otomejam ends: Lin being Tired being a hot famous alchemist professor that everyone wants (to yell at) can be tough #otome #vndev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

Sorry the newsletter hasn't updated! I'm grinding #otomejam to finish demo 2 ASAP. Question: New demo should have ch2-4, but I might only finish ch2-3 by 6/30. Thoughts on releasing ch2-3 first, then 4? (4 is Very Dramatic tho and I want y'all to see it) #otome #vndev #indiedev

I've recently started switching up the art style for Heart Sigil Elchemia's backgrounds to be a bit more unique! What do you think? (fake screenshot, but by this Saturday I'll be able to start showing new scenes!) #otome #vndev #indiedev #OtomeJam

wanted to draw him

Jun 10

All right, take a guess: who or what is Frey facing down? (too many side characters recently: time to go back to the main love interests and the CG previews that most of y'all wanted to see) #otome #vndev #indiedev #otometwt #heartsigilelchemia

Jun 10

I had to color it otherwise it wouldn't make sense #heartsigilelchemia

Jun 9

Here's a lineup of the 5 sprites I've done/updated for Heart Sigil Elchemia's expanded demo so far! (I'm too lazy to keep hiding the ishim, and my boy Harial's too cute :v ) Who's the blacked out sprite? spoilers #otome #indiedev #vndev #otometwt

Jun 6

Who's that Pokemon?? surprisingly, Frey's ishim will finally appear in the new Heart Sigil Elchemia demo - play it to actually see his eyes #otome #vndev #otomejam #indiedev

Jun 5

I present to you: undateable angry little meow meow #1 (yes he's a terrible person, no he doesn't have a route, no I won't make a fandisc for him unless Heart Sigil Elchemia sells like, eleventy million copies) #otome #vndev #indiedev #otomearmada

Jun 2

which of these undateable side char designs is the most dateable register your opinions below (I was trying to avoid undateable side chars that people would yell at me about in Heart Sigil Elchemia, but alas it was not meant to be) #otome #vndev #indiedev #otometwt

a short nap after a long battle with daimon...

@shibalist

heheh I'm trying to think scenes of Risu and Eguze's travels to draw

May 31

Now (re-)writing the last chapter of the common route that'll be in the demo...... there's a bunch of Frey content here correspondingly all of last week was spent on Lin content basically what I'm saying is there's a lot of content #vndev

May 28

since I can't show script yet, here's a preview of page 1 of 109 of my Heart Sigil Elchemia notes and brainstorming (I have 4 other notes docs like it which are equally long because I don't understand what organization is) #otome #vndev #screenshotsaturday #indiedev

May 27

To thank everyone for answering the Heart Sigil Elchemia angst survey, here's - okay it's not actually a real CG, it's fanart because sometimes you just want to fanart your own characters but yes please expect angst in the demo #otome #vndev #indiedev #otomearmada
