Look at this goober

They just want to drink, play, and sleep

Made the warehouse walkable to get some reference photos. Pretty cool to look at the stuff that no one would ever see in a regular playthrough

You have no clue how much tomato sauce is in here

Discord server for the mod is live! I'll post it here for now (and soon to be everywhere else I can think of too) but feel free to share it with anyone interested

Oh why does it say the member count

Chapter 1 is nearly done! ...ish

Coding for the main story of DRV3: Resolute Rebellion Chapter 1 is in the final stretch! There's still a whole bunch of bits and bobs to iron out even once that's done (one such bob being a new bonus event I want to add), but the main gameplay is starting to wrap up.

I'm contemplating setting up a Discord server and doing a beta release once Ch. 1's main story is completed; would anyone be interested in that? I personally would like to have some extra eyes looking out for bugs and oversights... and I can't be the only one excited to unleash Chapter 1 out on the world ahaha

Testing character positions on the second floor and I think I found something I wasn't supposed to see

Hey girls.... what's going on....

...You kissing each other?

[silicon-tmblr]

Please look at them!!!!!!!!!!! They are the best

Drew some silly guys!

Wanted to practice with my squishy style, so they little

Bonus thingies

Added some custom coordinates to the nighttime version of the Pianist's Lab the other day

Much better now, right?

Making myself take a break from helping people on the modding Discord... It's weird to say, but helping others has kinda been weighing on my mind as of late and affecting my mental more that I'd like ahaha

I've been fond of the server because I feel like a lot of like-minded people have been active there, but I'm realizing that as DR modding grows, its audience will change as well

Grappling with that alongside other little worries like whether people will mod the games respectfully and with good intentions, or whether people really care that I'm helping them... has kinda been a bit much ahaha. I'm really quite a worrier, especially about things that shouldn't really matter in all honesty.

Sometimes it's good to take a step back. I'll be able to devote more of my time to my own mod this way, so it's all good on this side.

Not giving up on my dream of giving Resolute Rebellion an animated promotional video

The QR code is just a link to the mod page ahaha (I wanted a watermark and this worked just fine)

Made a Tumblr community for the mod by the way! Feel free to join, vibe, share your thoughts on the mod so far, gameplay screenshots, speculation, and the works. I'll be chilling there too while continuing to try to understand how social media works ahaha

[silicon-tmblr]

Feeling pretty uncertain about myself and Resolute Rebellion, I really want it to reach more people but like. I'm no social media superstar ahaha

I've mostly been screwing around, and occasionally it reaches more people by word of mouth from others who share it online and with friends

I want to do everything in my power to get it out there but the reality is, there's only so much I can really do at this point, especially as only a single person

Either way, these things take time and I've only modded and released the prologue... I'm definitely planning to make sure Chapter 1 makes a splash though

[silicon-tmblr]

Oooh the social bug works in mysterious ways. I definitely wanna go touch grass now

Sometimes I think I get bit by "the social bug" and I try to go talk to. random people. Use the social media to be social. then I feel stupid after ahaha

Thinking I should probably make this social bug go out and mingle irl over the weekend

Actual size of this image is way too big

I only draw at tiny resolutions or obscenely large resolutions, no in-betweens

Sure do have to draw a lot of Maki Harukawa for this mod

Oh yeah, guess I should mention what put me on hiatus ahaha — Aside from regular burnout, I was also busy working on a mod for Stardew Valley these past few months!

After playing Stardew Valley for a while, you might've gotten married and wound up having or adopting children with your spouse... in which case, you would've ended up with two kids who never grow past the toddler stage and run about the house aimlessly. Well...

Growing Valley - Child NPCs lets those funky untalkative toddlers that wander your home grow up into fully-fledged NPCs!

More details under the cut! (or you could visit the mod page for even more details ahaha)

This mod comes with six unique kids designed in appearance and personality to resemble six of the vanilla marriage candidates! There's also customizable kids to fill in for remaining situations, whether because you've married a modded spouse, or because your spouse of choice hasn't gotten a unique kid yet.

So far, Alex, Leah, Penny, Sebastian, Elliott, and Emily have gotten unique kids designed after them, but any child can be manually selected through the config to show up in place of the defaults.

Customizable kids!

Questionably dishonest antics!

Young ma'am, that's not edible (or potable)!

Aside from being goofy little buggers who want to drink dye (well only Emily's daughter would try that... right?), they'll also wander around town, chat with you, and accept gifts like any other character. Winter outfits were recently added too, so look forward to seeing them bundle up for the cold!

On a more personal note, I've been real happy to be able to return to pixel art; it's how I started out as an artist, so getting to flex exercise the skills I've developed since those early days has been a delightful opportunity!

Now I'm sick of doing it though so I need to take a hiatus from this and return from my hiatuses elsewhere ahaha

[silicon-tmblr]

Back to work on CGs at last, have a Maki staring down at something

Lineart is not as annoying as I remember it being

Every once in a while "haha table" makes the rounds. I'm proud of my contribution to the DRV3 fandom.
