Hey! Alas, it is not Friday, but you're still getting a dev update regardless.
Our live stream was a success, with many of you dialling in to watch me code. Lots of viewer input resulted in some minor changes to the dialogue. I love asking, "How would you react in this situation?" during the stream and implementing your responses!
Despite the many, many, MANY c...

Psssst! Hey, you! It's Friday!
That means devlogs! ::punch the sky dance::
First off, you need to join Discord. Why? Because.
Because I'll be doing a live stream coding session tonight on Discord at 18:30(ish) GMT+2 2022-09-16 10:10:04 +0000 UTC View Post
With Episode 3 being in the final stretch for completion, I've been looking at what I can do "better" going forward.
One of the things I've identified is the Patreon Tiers, and I'd love (absolutely LOVE!) to hear your thoughts and input as patrons and followers.
The tiers are due for a revamp, and I've been looking at them whenever I'm not working on Episode 3. I'd like to add value...

It's Sunday!
It should be Friday, though. That would've meant two more days of weekend!
I'm healthy and busy again. I caught up with some old friends, which warmed my heart. I was planning on working a lot more over this weekend, which sadly could not happen.
I also made good progress with Infinite Stars. I have three edited scenes ready to go into coding, adding another rough...
2022-08-28 14:12:49 +0000 UTC View PostAs mentioned in the devlog earlier, Stoffies was kind enough to do some colour variations on the gym. I initially asked for yellow, orange and blue, but he went above and beyond to give us more options.
Cast your vote on the colour. The image is in its final stages, but if there is something minor that you feel has to change, speak up in the comments, and if it is something practical, I'l...

Infinite Stars is turning two years old next week.
I've learned so much during this time, and I'm happy with how this little Covid-19 Lockdown project has grown. I've met so many amazing people (I mean, it led me to meet all of you! <3)
Looking back, there are things I would have done differently. Things that I wish had worked out differently. There are disa...

It's Friday.
(Pretend with me, OK?)
My day job has continued to be busier than usual, and I've been a bit sick, but I still wanted to pop in to let you all know I'm alive and well! (Well, not 'well' well, but as well as one can be while being under the weather.)
On Infinite Stars, I've been crunching for the next release, and I wanted to share one of the ...

Legend has it that the ancient ones that came before us lived their whole lives around one particular day. They called this day Friday; even in modern times, we honour those before us by living for Fridays.
Oh, and it's also devlog day. Yay! You decide which is more important.
I missed the devlog last week, mostly because I was spending some time with family. I try to do th...
2022-08-05 10:43:53 +0000 UTC View PostHey.
I'm still here. I'm still working on Infinite Stars and Draegan Herald.
We had our second miscarriage, so I've been dealing with that. Last time I took a few weeks off to process and grieve, and while it helped, it broke all my momentum and lost me a few opportunities. (I lost the opportunity to be interviewed by VNGameDen after they listed Infinite Stars ...

Got pulled over by a traffic cop earlier this week who wanted me to bribe him. That was fun. Didn't bribe him, but also didn't get a ticket. <3
Oh! And Dobby is going for his dental checkup later today. Italian Greyhounds are notorious for losing their teeth and having their tongues hang out of their mouths. It looks cute, but– No. I'd rather let him have all his t...

Now that the "crew in underwear" series has concluded, we have capacity for new outfits!

Everyday/Civilian wear is one of the outfits I'm considering. Think jeans, shirts, skirts etc. Clothes our crew members would wear when no...

Who doesn't love a feisty ex-assault marine who always has a creative solution to problems. (Say what you will about her methods, but she did save Katya from that sentinel.)
Veera is the definition of "dynamite in a small package" - she's always ready to go, and this also shows in her underwear of choice. While other ladies might prefer lace and floral patterns, Veera is all abou...

It's Friday. Again. (yay)
Groundhog Day anyone?
Work has continued to be super busy, but I'm not complaining as it pays the bills! Having to do it during a cold front does make it slightly less pleasant, and Dobby our pupper lives for cuddling under the sheets over the weekends. The rest of the time he stares at us with eyes like, well, puppy eyes. There is a word for that.

Despite his overdeveloped sense of self-awareness that makes him seem awkward, he is one of the most harmless and easily excitable people you'll meet on the ...

Friday! Yup!
It was a short week in South Africa with the public holiday and all, but I still managed to get quite a bit done.
Not a ton to report, with only three work days for me this week. It was mostly busy work and very little creative work.
Most of this week was spent working on the layered character art and updating the existing story to use said new art. Episode 1 is d...

Another week of progress. Yeah!
I mentioned the fundraiser in last week's devlog, and I'm happy to announce that we managed to raise 20K over the weekend for kids with cancer! It was exhausting! I spoke to almost 800 individuals in the two days, and walked roughly 30K steps up and down our exhibitors tent. My voice was a rasp whisper by Sunday evening, but it was all...
2022-06-10 07:08:03 +0000 UTC View PostIt might not seem like it, but in her heart, Mayvheen is a real girly girl. Due to her rank and responsibilities she tends to suppress her "free spirited, easy going" self.
She loves comfortable clothes, and pink is one of her favorite colors. She's not ashamed of it, but it's also not something she likes to broadcast to everyone.
If you get to know her better she might start openin...
