hii i've been following for about a year now (i think) and i really enjoy your writing! i'm also super curious about the twst game you're currently working on, will the game be behind a paywall or smth like itch.io?

The game will be f2p, dw <3

It’s going to be more of an interactive fan-fiction than a fully fledged VN. Basically a choose-your-way story.

If I ever make anything for payment, it’ll be commission work. Never stuff I do for fun.

Okay, my homies. I sat on it and took some words from friends into consideration.

It was meant to be a game, so it’s going to be one. I just won’t make CGS, music, or anything extra. It’s just going to be the bare bones text-based adventure, because a bulk of the writing I did is in the branching route so cutting those to make it a one-route fic feels like a waste.

However long it takes is just going to be what it takes, y’know? It might not be the quality I wanted when I started but the story is what matters the most?

Thanks for answering the poll !! I’m happy to know people still want to play/read the story :)

This will be my last big communication about the game until it is completed. Everything else is just going with the flow as I chip at it here and there <3

Y’all I have some bad news.

As much as I would like to finish the fan game for TWST - it just doesn’t seem like I’ll have the time in the foreseeable future. I’m talking it would be another year, maybe two, since my adult life is packed to the brim. I’ve reviewed everything that I have, and don’t believe it’s enough to justify pausing my original projects to grind it out.

SO.

The plot’s still there. All that structuring, boards, yadayada is still there. I’ve got two ideas.

The first is scrapping the VN structure, rewording all the branches with the choices I think are optimal, and publishing it as a fanfiction either on here or on AO3. You’d still get to follow a route and I’ll try to leave in the major choices using a linked-method to guide you through chapter segments. It just won’t have any of the CGS, an OST, or character customization that I had set up for the twine version.

OR.

I wait. It could be a year or two. Every time I thought I was near-done in the past, I had to place the game on pause. So this is more risky, but does offer the chance of cgs.

[cursedcola]

Y’all ever wonder if Lilia says Bleh Bleh Bleh. Like, even just ironically. Intentionally ironic. Sebek being himself and gets hit with the bleh bleh bleh. You think it’s universal?

I knew the cowards would censor my guy but I digress

They’re all so beautiful omg. Your use of lighting is just…my god. My actual god. The Epel one specifically is calling to me. His Harveston card is one of my favorites in the whole came and I adore his expression in this portrait.

Wonderful imagery Op! I swear…I love TWST artists so much. Y’all are so talented it brings out the most feral envy from me but also raw adoration

Some portraits!

Playing Date Everything as an adult, and then being nicer to your household objects is exactly the same as being a kid who watched ToyStory and then treats their toys better

[cursedcola]

My brain isn’t braining because I’m doing what you do in Date Everything - and I’m just like “this is so unrealistic because who the fuck could afford this kind of house while working customer service”

And like

Yes. Yes, that’s the most unrealistic thing. That’s what I am focusing on and not the fact that I just did the freaky deak with my alarm clock while my toilet bowl rapped about crap and my dirty underwear is in a toxic relationship with my hamper because it has abandonment issues from mother loom

Selective logic when blinded by baddies, himbos and twinks left and right ig

TWST OC Questions

I am supposed to be working on a req I got about a month ago OTL but I need uh. serotonin from something in the meantime LMAO (it is more than half way finished, dear requester, if you see this) ANYWAYS

Obviously, if you want to ask a question that's under one category but for an OC that doesn't fit under that category, you can <3 its more what that dorm inspired me to ask about

------------------------------------------------------------

RAMSHACKLE

Have fun <3
