Someone tell Ivan if I'm too lazy to make an IF I am far too lazy to make a pixel art game

[carrs-universe-writes]

you can't tell us to follow your other blog without telling us what the other blog is rat

I can do whatever I want

But if you INSIST the other blog is @hyperfixationinc and I post little midwest gothic snippets and some art stuff

You can also follow my personal blog @theopossumboy if you just want to be spammed by my reblogs.

You can also do whatever you want. Follow both, follow neither, unfollow all three of my blogs, go nuts. You have free will.

Well what in tarnation-

Um hello 👉👈 funny seeing you guys here...uh...come here often? Still wondering about my silly little writing? Oh haha...yeah...about that...

Crazy how fast time flies when you have time blindness.

So let's get the big stuff out of the way. I am no longer writing Wolfwater, WCA, or M715 as interactive fiction. I am still writing the stories, but no longer as interactive fiction.

No one knows what's happening with dragon smut because it was just a silly little side project so as of right now it's on indefinite hiatus/canceled.

But the other three are still deep in the holes of my brain. These characters mean a lot to me at this point. But I've lost the passion to make them IFs. Not only is it way too much work for my Swiss cheese ADHD brain to stay focused on, writing is also something I can just kinda do mindlessly. But with IF I have to pay WAY closer attention, and that makes it a stressful thing, not a fun, relaxing form of expression.

To put it simply, it's way too much work that I don't want to do.

So where does that leave the stories? Well, as novels.

I've already started rewriting chapter 1 of Wolfwater, and I'll post it in it's entirety here when I'm finished. Some things have been changed, like now Alex is the protagonist. And given Alex obviously isn't interested in a lot of the romance options, one of the subplots will finally be Ezra and Aim kissing all on their own. Big day!

WCA will be split between Casey and Quincy’s POV's mainly, but there will be no serious changes to the plot, other than the fact that...well...you aren't there.

And M715 will be changed so that Zelda is the main protagonist. Again, very little to change in that story, other than shifting who things happen to.

The original playable IF version of WW ch1 will stay up forever if you ever want to reread it. And nothing is being deleted or changed on the patreon, all the original drafts will stay up. But they are not going to be edited again.

I know Wolfwater especially has been in the works for like 4 years, but unfortunately I used all my dopamine up writing Far Cry fanfiction when I was in middle school, so I'm now a very slow writer.

If you've been here a while, get ready for some deja-vu because: I'm leaving my job at the gas station soon and starting basically my dream job driving a truck. Just me and my dog in a truck all day, not a single customer interaction to be had. Hopefully around the end of summer I'll be there full time and can quit the gas station, which will be better for me. (I feel like I've seen this movie before....)

Um I struggle with genuineness but ummmm thank you to those that have stuck around while I was doing absolutely nothing. But I am writing again, I am back, everything is sorta back to normal.

Now stop looking at me 😖

Am I alive or dead? Only the gods know.

how ya doing, rat? still deep in the baldurs gate hole?

Unfortunately my laptop has killed itself 😔 I can barely run Stardew Valley on it without it overheating and crashing.

I HAVE been trying to work on the games, but not in the way you think 😏 they're being completely reworked, so don't think I've forgotten about the pain and suffering I plan on causing you all

[carrs-universe-writes]

Guys help i haven't stopped playing Baldur's Gate since Monday I've started having turn based dreams

update 18 coming on the 20th

So... um... update 18 coming up. It's in private testing now, will be coming to the public link around the 20th... it is currently about 38k worth of words though the public update might burst that over 40k...

It mainly consist of updates for the FBI Arc, hopefully finishing up Chapter 2 Part 2 of the FBI arc so I can finally move on to the meat and butter of Chapter 3 Part 1 of both routes.

Keep in mind... since we're past the halfway point, public updates might be a bit less frequent as I'm going into full steam focus on just going through the whole outline in private testing after private testing.

There will be a public demo after I finish a chapter or two. So, yeah... Breach 2 is almost into the smooth sailing phase...

[carrs-universe-writes]

WHAT! COMES! AFTER!

what comes after seven? i feel like the name gives a lot for jokes but i was too sleepy to actually come up with a good one im so sorry. question for real if you can answer it--what's your favorite scene/event in the demo? so excited!

The demo isn't super long, it's only like 8k words, but my favorite part is probably choosing to flirt with both Quincy and Casey, because Casey is just so tired of it already and be just met you. I also love the quincy sex scene quite a bit, it had to be shortened for my sanity but if you want to fuck the terrorist, you can!!

If Tollhouse really didn't want me to eat raw cookie dough why would they make a travel tube of it that I can take on the go?

If you want an insight into me as a person, I just want you to know that these two asks have been in my inbox since February 14th and I will not delete or answer them because I like opening my inbox and immediately thinking of my dog.

🗣📣 HEY!!!

So if I can focus tonight/tomorrow at work(depends on the customers) there's a possibility that chapter one of WCA will get finished this weekend. After that I will send it to Beck to read through, if YOU want to read through it NOW you can subscribe to the patreon for $6 and watch me not know how to write in my native language in real time!!

After that it will go to Ivan and will go out to $10+ patrons 1 week early, then $3 & $6 patrons will get it three days early before public release. (so if the public release is a Monday, $10+ patrons will get the demo the previous Monday, and $3 & $6 patrons will get it the Friday before the release)

I really appreciate that you guys have been patient with me and roller-coaster of a life 😩 I genuinely don't know what I did in a past life to deserve all of this but it SHOULD be under control for a while now. Literally knocking on wood after that.
