Probably gonna release my next game on Tuesday the 27th, if nothing really disastrous comes up. Getting a little antsy, i'm feeling like I probably shouldn't sit on this one much longer. I need to do one more pass to fix any bugs I might've missed, and then the game will be out. Ta-ta!

7 week development time! Not bad. I uh got distracted by other projects multiple times while making this--if I had just crunched through the whole thing without stopping (and didn't have a day job to worry about) it probably would've taken 2 weeks. >.>
My phone has just informed me that, if my webcomic hadn't been prematurely killed by a natural disaster, chapter 3 of Gainful Employment would've ended today.
Game development is going really well! One of my games is ahead of schedule, so im thinking I'll add some extra polish, like the ability to save high scores. ;) The other is trucking along. They'll both be out in a week or 2, respectively. Then, I start work on my visual novel!

Both the games I have in development right now are coming along nicely! It's looking like they're both going to be finished around the same time, if all goes well. If that does happen, I may or may not stagger the releases so as not to overwhelm people hehe.

One of them is an autobio game about my recent experience with that flood, and the other is a digital adaptation of my card game One Armed Robbery!

Once I'm done with both of those, my plan is to start work on a visual novel idea I had that is very very obliquely inspired by my experiences in the Cincinnati music scene. Working title: "World's Worst Musician." I'm expecting development on that to last a few months, bare minimum. But we'll see! I've been hanging onto the idea a long time.

New game! It's okay. I got the idea for it early this year and got halfway through finishing it before the Ohio floods of 2026 completely obliterated my progress; so I had to start from scratch--God as my witness I sure did finish the darn thing, with bells on. If it means anything, I'm hoping to release an actually good game before November, you'll see if I make it.

I'm feeling pretty confident that I can get a couple more videogames out the door before November--if everything goes my way, I'll have one of them out sometime next week, though it's kind of a dumb one lol.

Added a new feature to the Pet Shop page. Has anyone figured out the puzzle for this one yet? I promise I wasn't trying to be opaque when I made it.

I only just noticed that Neocities has a search option now haha. How long has that been there? Seems like a nice way to find cool new stuff, although I just searched "Sonic the Hedgehog" and most of the results were sketchy piracy sites, so hmm.
