From the studio that brought you Kinger, I bring you Longer

So, no one is probably asking themselves who this new tumblr addition is. But I'll answer the question nontheless :)

Long story short, I am just a girl 🎀✨

that's all, bye ^^

Oh, you actually want to know more about me?

Sure then XD

So, I am just a girl...who likes to write, draw, read and play video games in her free time. I love Sploon, dcmk, witch hat atelier and much more hehe

If you're curious about my art, I own a minute corner on Instagram (@shizuisonline). You'll notice that the account is a bit inactive at the moment. Please bear with me, I am trying to survive college

If you're too lazy or don't have Instagram, don't worry! Here's an image dump just for you ^^

oh, and see that pink octoling? That is Subject 10,007, one of my (many) OCs and the protagonist on my Octo Expansion fan fic.

If you do end up looking for my AO3 for some reason, you will notice that I made somewhat of a commitment to upload one chapter a month but I failed miserably for various reasons; one being personal stuff and the other realising the fact that outlining chapters might actually be useful. HOWEVER I did not drop the story. I am still working on it, I promise! So if you want to hang around, give me some incentive and maybe also some very much needed constructive criticism I'd be very touched T^T

Ok I am lagging so I'll stop with the yap for now

A Sky of Falling Birds

As I mentioned before, SFB is my next big project, which I plan to submit for BAF VN Jam. That's... 7/1.

It's okay, I still got... 20 days.

There's a lot of work left to do and not much to show off at the moment.

Pre-Make

Or Pre 🕰 Make (P-M), I haven't completely decided on how to advertise the title yet. It's a "small" project that I came up with back in 2020 and still haven't finished. I thought I'd dedicate a few days' time to it and see how far I'd get. There's still a bit of work to do, but much of it is done.

The art's quite old and the story telling was the original test I did for SYVNH's looping mechanism so it won't be anything novel. The screenshot above is from this game. If he looks a little familiar, don't worry. That's not your imagination.

The Beauty Which Only Beast Knows

My other big focus for this month, we're hoping to finish it for Otome Jam... which also ends 7/1. I've a loose schedule for achieving that, but the team's health is the top priority so we're playing it by ear. It may take a little longer to finish up.

Other!

O2A2: Because I couldn't sit still!! I started planning for O2A2 2024! It'll be another entry into the kill series, but I hope to include some point and click elements to it. Last year I finished 9 VN projects, something I don't want to do again-- but!! I don't want to only finish one project this year!! I've been skipping and fomo-ing all the jams in the first half of the year. Well, no more! I'm going to get some work done this summer!!

Fan Projects: I don't think I need to keep my involvement in fan projects a secret anymore! I took part in the D. Gray Man 20th Anniversary Project, which we actually started work on late last year! I also took part in the Narumitsu Big Bang 2024 event, which... also started work late last year 🤔 Huh, I was really busy back then. Maybe that'll teach me to sign up for too many fan events... (😂 no ofc not!)

Misc: I finished some tedious updating work that I promised myself to do a while back. I'll admit I make my blog easiest for me to navigate, first and foremost. But if there's something that's bothering you, or have an idea to make navigation better, feel free to let me know through an ask! I also updated all of my itch io pages' images. They were originally linked from discord, which changed its policy and broke all direct image links. Thankfully, I had everything labeled in a private server so I could easily retrieve and reupload to update the pages. Yes, I should've done that long ago. And I'm sorry I just... didn't;;
