Ahem. Begin audio log 1B. Date, currently unknown.

Hello again, to any who hear this. I would hope no one, yet, I feel that is not in my power. This is not a message for you, however. I assume you are aware of my name, I need not introduce.

It has been... perhaps three cycles after I awoke again. The original plan, was successful. However, there were aftermath factors that I did not account for. Such as my child's free will. I have returned. This is not apart of the plan. Although, it could prove to be a.. useful tool.

134, "Ember", 133's, "Lantern's" companion, as well as a personal advisor of mine, conversed with me. Near when I awoke. 134 demanded that I shall not contact 133. "The cycle would loop," it said. Regardless of my attempts to tell of my plan changes, it insisted. I caved and agreed. Foolish of me to, if I say now. Perhaps it was the pain I felt, as my world had collapsed and rebuilt itself on its own whim, not on my accord. I shall not break its deal, it has links to ones beyond my comprehension. It left me alone after this interaction. Leading me to wonder...

In my loneliness, I failed to realized my worth in this world. As I am the Guardian, the ruler, a god. I am the one in control, I have the power. I plan to use it. I can create. I can manipulate. I can change according to my own whim. I have a plan to enact, and I can guarantee, for once in my... Eternal.. suffering.. I can have some f u n .

i can't believe i ever called myself an orv fan. "why are water and darkness such tightly knit motifs in deltarune" ink. it's fucking ink. the stuff you write stories with. creativity, imagination, dream put to paper, the tangible quantification of storytelling. liquid darkness. how the fuck didn't i put the two together, they should pelt me with tomatoes in the streets

Audio log, 2B. Date, still unknown.

I wonder why I talk to this. Perhaps out of my own boredom, out of loneliness, or I've simply gone too far off the deep end. I am not sure. Talking has seemed to calm my senses.. and I am.. suffering the effects of not.

I am not sure what to talk about. My new plans have not come to fruition yet, nothing important has happened...

Perhaps I shall... hm. Maybe talk about life outside this dreaded place. Yes. Reminisce..

...

My name is lost. My real one, that is. I do not remember much. I was.. well in my.. 50's? When I had entered here. My personality.. you could say I was always like this. I've never been an excitable type.

I had a pleasant life. Certainly more on the higher end of things. I believe my family was rich, or at least a higher class than most. I do not remember much of them.

Hm.. My mother. Kind. All I can say. My father. Stern. Yet, caring underneath his exterior. My brothers. Rascals. Closest thing I had to friends. My sister... sweet. Sweet child, she was.

I wonder how they are... are they dead? Surely one more must be, by this point at least. My brothers... prosperous, I'm sure... much better than I'm doing now, dead or not.

What have they gone on to do without me? Have they missed me? Am I pronounced dead there? Did.. they care in the first place? My mother? Father? Brothers and sister? ....Perhaps not.

...

.... this was pointless.

IF I SPEAK

[katyspersonal]

In today's SoTE progress: ARRRGHHH I am SO goddamn angry!!!! Gfhghmjm But also I am thinking about Messmer and Marika a LOT now.

1) So, I was getting mentally prepared for going to battle Messmer, and decided to visit just one last piece of fort associated with his location!

^ This shield was dropped by a Black Knight Garrew that acted like a boss but was no harder than a regular enemy. He was using a Crucible aspect that gave him chameleon's shooting tongue to attack with and I hoped he'd drop it instead hfhghgj I'm gonna assume it was somewhere in the game and I just missed it for a dumb reason :pensive:

^ A valid reference in case if anyone will want to draw/write certain grim scenes in detail or something like that

2) There was also a fairly well-hidden secret that I felt proud of discovering, but it was just a stronger version of the talisman that makes arrows stronger! And not only I don't use bows, but also it didn't even give lore! Goddamn it Fromsoft reward me with INFORMATION for my explorer's interest!!

3) Okayyyy sooo :/ I was soooo ready to get my ass kicked by Messmer that I kinda dreaded it, but needed to get this over with! Alas, DLC should end sooner or later...

And at first, I did get my ass kicked, sure. But..... ...not only he switched to the second phase halfway through his health bar and not after it was fully reduced like I expected.. but also I adopted OBNOXIOUSLY fast. :/ :/ :/ It didn't take me EVEN 15 MINUTES to fully adapt to him and just get closer and closer with every try. And!! I did kill him? Like are you JOKING. Are you KIDDING me. That was IT? It took me several days and tormenting @fantomette22 for useless tries to finally defeat Rellana, I had to try many strategies and be extremely smart and inventive with her!! I thought if she was so strong, Messmer would have been even WORSE, and yet I am just sitting here like:

Dude yeah no SHIT you needed Rellana to protect you :/ Guess I was not impressed by 18 inches of Messmer the Impaler 😔😔😔

4) Okay but I DID like his voice acting a lot hfhgv I was just sitting there like "stop sounding sexy you dunce, I already decided that I'm going to dislike you!" XD /j

5) His final words were "Mother... Marika... A curse... upon thee..." and.. hell if I know whether he cursed us or her. I am assuming he cursed her since switching to calling your parent by name instead is a kind of strong sentiment. Like defying them their status over you sort of. Besides all the statues of her in Shadow Realm but one being headless. So... yes, interesting.

6) It was not patched out btw! :>

7) Okay actually when I was about to beat Messmer's ass for good I've accidentally found the summon sign for Hornsent NPC! I was not seeing it during the fight, just happened to run into it, and if Igon taught me anything is that such summons are a good idea because they progress the questline. Maybe. So, he gave a dialogue after Messmer was defeated:

"We meet again I see, comrade-in-arms. Upon his end, did you see Messmer's face? Twas sublime - a very tangle of snakes! To think he dared to call us savages. When he himself was most base of all.

To say the least, I am to you indebted. Yet unquenched remains my thirst for revenge. The death of Messmer was merely the start. Now comes the piper to collect from Marika, her offspring, and all the Erdtree's denizens... In vengeance for the flames, my blade I wield... If Miquella's redemption soothes the ache... that throbs within, demanding blessed vengeance... Then I wish not to be by him redeemed."

Sigh... I just can tell that the guy will have to turn on us sooner or later. Honestly, rejection of anything that could help/heal/etc the pain that demands revenge is such a... real reaction? He is a very real character. He straight up doesn't want to stop even after achieving his objective and himself, ironically, fell for the path of punishing every associate including innocent people whose only sin is being "born in this culture". He became like Marika in this regards!

Honestly, this is a very good writing moment! Second favourite after Miyazaki's jab at horrors of believing in "sacred mission" in Crusader's Insignia! (I like the character even more now for very real negative character development, but I just can TELL we'll have to kill him gfhhgg)

8) .... ah, right, I forgot this post about Messmer

Again: hatred like what? Hatred coming from Abyss Serpent? His hatred for Marika? Hatred for all divested of her grace? Hatred for himself? Is this many things? Fromsoft spare me I am too autistic to read hfggjhgjgb

9) This is actually sweet:

So, the snakes were friends all along, and I suppose the counterparts/antagonists to the "evil" serpent within him!

10) *points at this like in the meme* Hey I remember that this bit was mistranslated! XD

It actually says that he did that for his mother's sake, and not by her wish! It makes even more sense with the following sentence, as if HE really wished for no single mfer to look weird at her. No, as if he INSISTED to accept all blame and hatred. Considering he curses her in his dying breath, after all (or at least calls her name which is a bad sign from a child), there must have been such a long build-up of unhealthy relationship between them to it...

He not only wished to keep her away from all fear and hatred that follows, and fulfill her vengeful desires, but also basically said to use him like a punching bag. But if she feared the curse within him in the end, then SHE is to blame that he gave up on any and all hope to be pure, good and loved. Like.. whose fault do you guys think it IS that his self-image centered entirely on being fear and dread, as well as someone to hate? I have an impression that he did want to take the blame and excile for her sake, but also resented that she actually accepted his request to use him. Like.. maybe he didn't even realize that what he, subconsciously, wanted was for her to refuse. I might be speaking from too much personal experience, but sending such mixed signals (requesting something with expectation that the person will refuse) is a sign of bad parenting at least, abuse at most. And knowing Marika's horrid parenting skills... yeeeeah.

Again, really good writing. They are saying so much with so little, as always. Glad that Mister Miyazaki keeps the mark with his stories only being readable if you have at least one PTSD ggbhjghbb

11) I have a bad guess that they did not elaborate on what exactly Abyss Serpent is, otherwise @val-of-the-north would've already spoilered me because we love worldbuilding xd

But seeing how Marika Had a Moment about Giants' Fire all because it's capable of burning the Erdtree, the reason is probably similar. She I with Fire like Gwyn is with darkness: it can end her era, maybe end herself, so it is terrifying.

At the same time, she was trying to love her children, at least at first. She created this eye for Messmer and created a lot of Divine Blessings to ease his burdens in the past. Then there were Omen Twins that she yet named with her initials and at least Godfrey and Godwyn were seeing them, although horned creatures would be her worst nightmare. I feel like the pipeline from this to "children become kings or lords or else you'll only be worthy of sacrifices" + "unwanted bastard in Mausoleum" was a long one. She tried to love even the children that were either a walking hazard or walking PTSD, but failing to overcome fear before Messmer set her down the spiral. God, I can see all of her snapping if Messmer asked too many questions, accidentally acting hostile if he tried to be physically affectionate unable to conceal her fear fast enough... She would not be the type to try again with anyone after casting him aside in the end, but, she would take the passive position of "kids, prove me that you deserve my love because ME putting in effort won't avail anything, apparently". The guilt but one that made a quitter rather than a better person.

12) Also *points like in the meme again*

Yeah, every forge type of the dungeon in Shadow Realm has throwing weapons!!! He adapted!

So yeah this post gotten EMOTIONAL ALL OF A SUDDEN when I expected it to be short. Damn, the girls didn't lie, he IS an interesting character!

End of May Update

Wait, what do you mean it’s already June?? Wasn’t it March yesterday? It’s already my birthday in three weeks?? Time blindness aside, enjoy my monthly devlog ✨

The good news is, some more assets are drawn for Enter the Eternity and for The Code of Crystals. I’m still a one-person team, but with how busy May was, progress was still made, and that’s what counts.

Here’s what I want to work on in June:

Two Second dates have been fully coded in, so I want to get the rest of the second dates in and playtested as well.

I want to get assets for at least two third dates done.

I dislike a background that I drawn for the Eternity/Other World, so I want to redraw it.

I also realized that I absolutely hate Henry’s magical boy outfit. I have a new design for him which is almost finished, I just need to render/shade his sprites.

Sadly, this devlog will be a little short: I spent the month of may moving across the city I live in and I might have a new job that I absolutely need sooo 🙏 let’s hope that I get it. I clearly did not finish two “parts” for The Code of Crystals and may be too ambitious for Enter The Eternity. I will get them done, but I will have to slow down their development due to everything happening outside of the internet.

I still want to release Enter the Eternity around the end of 2025.

Thank you for your support and let's make some good progress in June 🥂✨ Have a great day, everyone!

Enter the Eternity is a dating simulator in which Michi (name customizable) signs up to study at the Matsubara Institute for a semester and lives in a shared house. The problem is: every single one of your roommates is a magical girl (or boy, or person)!

How will you survive abroad with magical girls? Will you be able to adapt to this new life and make friends? Better yet, will you end up dating one of them?
