Okay, I know I like conglomerating different shit into one post, but PLEASE READ!
If you like Stardew Valley or any other similar farming/slice of life kind of sim, AND you like fantasy RPG, please please go check out Sun Haven! I spent the last two hours playing it on stream and I am absolutely in LOVE with it! It's currently on sale on Steam, and the developer plans to continue updating it which is awesome because it's a great game!!! You can adjust the day cycle length (15-45 minute length iirc, I like the 30 minute one!), how much you can do in a day is dependent on the time left in the day NOT energy, there's different races that come with boosts, and plenty of romance options!!! (And I love most of the ones I've met thus far!)
100% highly recommend Sun Haven!!!
Outside of that, I also wanted to talk about some IF stuff! Now, I know we all sometimes feel like we have to only go for our ROs in optional scenes, but I promise, you don't have to!!! You can STILL start a romance with people in Mind Games and have scenes with others to build your friendship! You do need to have a few with the RO, to express interest, but you don't have to drive home only their scenes. I actually don't think I'll have romance lock-ins until B2, EXCEPT with Blake, and potentially Fawn, given I know I will at least have the option to express your interest in Blake at the end of B1... and if you kept in touch in B2, afterwards. Honestly, maybe that'll be a form of a lock-in in B2; if you kept in touch with the RO. (With other lock-in points available later, for MCs who aren't as willing to trust so readily, of course!)
I also DO plan to make walk-throughs. I know I have a headache getting specific routes or scenes when I play IFs, and truthfully, I enjoy making them! And it's kind of an accessibility thing, y'know? I'm not saying anything bad about other authors, either!!! I just want to provide something like that, personally, as I have ALWAYS planned to add walkthroughs.
i’ve started babysitting for a VERY christian family which is great because they pay me a lot of money but as someone who was raised almost completely agnostic it’s kind of insane. the 2 year old keeps asking me to read her stories from the bible. (why are we reading david and goliath to a 2 year old????) the 5 year old told me today that he was going to bring his legos to heaven with him. he also has repeatedly told me that the lego spaceships he builds are stronger than jesus. (not sure what to say to that. do i deny it??? are things allowed to be stronger than jesus??) had to stop myself mid sentence today because i almost told them im not going to heaven which would DEFINITELY have caused several meltdowns. they’re also both completely fascinated by my nose ring
staff: our april fools joke this year is a silly feature that doesn't really do anything but give you a button to boop other users! they have to opt-in first though :)
Since you guys liked Marcille as Kermit that much, it seems fitting to thank you for my 12k milestone with MORE Kercille.
And this time, Miss Falin is also here.
