Hi, it's been a while :,o
I know I've been absent, focusing on other things, mainly posting on my blog. And in all honesty, I'm not really sure I want to come back to Tumblr.
Don't worry, I'm still letting this blog stay up. I'm gonna visit every now and then just to make sure bots aren't following/liking this page. But overall, I don't think I'm gonna post on Tumblr anymore.
BUT, I have decided to create an account on Spacehey! (Classic Myspace's spiritual successor) I'm going to post more on Spacehey since it feels more like my speed, while also not really giving up the social media aspect of the internet.
Give it a look, it's honestly so nice for people who grew up with late 2000s internet and the infancy of social media. Not saying it's perfect, I just joined after all, I haven't exactly exposed myself to everything it has to offer yet xD But I say, give it a try and just have fun with your own space.
I'm sorry if anyone was hoping for me to return, if at all, but I want to also feel like I can have my own space to share my own things rather than see a wall of information that I can constantly scroll down and down and down.
I'll still also be posting to Ani's blog as well, that is the best place to see my art and blog posts up front.
Thanks for reading this far. You guys have been the best! And I wish you all well. Thanks for being a part of the Tumblr vibes here~ <3

I have been absent!

To anyone who might be following me, I have been silent for a while, and I might be silent even more in the coming days. TL;DR, I've been taking a break from and I think I will break from Tumblr even loneer. I haven't given up on my online presence, but I haven't really been in the right mindset for it either. I feel like I haven't been fulfilling my goal of focusing on an irl job lately and because of that anxiety I have shut down a bit.
I'm a quiet person by default, but I haven't been this detached with social media in forever. I'm taking doodling slowly because ideas are coming to me just as slowly. I think I'm experiencing a bit of burn out is all. Taking this break will help me focus on things that are important to me right now, getting out and just taking time to go someplace new, and focus on building up my confidence.
I might return soon, I might not. I still want to upload doodles, but I don't think I'll be uploading them on Tumblr for a while. I just want the quiet space I have on my blog for now.
If you want to know what blog I'm talking about, it's this one:
So don't worry about me, I'm going to be ok, I hope this doesn't come across as a plea for comfort. I just don't think I'm doing a good job with handling myself. Though, if you are concerned, I do appreciate it. It's always nice knowing that there are still people out there who care. 🧡
Take care everyone, enjoy life!

Hateship Demo - 1 Year Anniversary Update ✨
Just around this time last year (on Valentine's Day), I released the demo of Hateship, a monster dating game set in a noir-style mega cruise ship with a gang of biomechanical jerks.
I really wanted to draw something proper to celebrate, but life be a bit too frantic at the moment.
The original intention was to finish the game well within 2023, but it felt like it needed more depth to feel like a story with character development. I want to create something to be proud of, and believe the project will ultimately benefit from extra (but sensible for production) flair.
Despite that, I'm steadily working away at it and haven't slowed down.
Major updates since the demo:
2 characters fully written and edited, 1 in progress now.
60k+ words for the whole project, shared across 6-7 characters. A novel in itself.
Changed the UI to feel more cinematic. We can't have noir without it!
The main character can choose a few backstory details for more flavour.
One of the characters, Avak, pictured above, has more placeholder assets in Act 1.
Act 1 shots have thumbnails sketched.
There's still a lot left to do, so announcing any release date would be too optimistic at the moment.
Instead, to stay in the loop on a monthly basis, I update regularly here.
Really excited to be working on this. You're going to be in for a hilarious ride of action, misery and that absolutely necessary dash of adorable. I hope you'll join me!
