Devlog #6
Drinking in some of those final summer vibes. Annnnnd we're back to business.
Well, I've been busy updating the art for day one and Jim's current sprite. So I've assembled a comparison of my progress. I'm quite happy with how far I've come in terms of art skills. I definitely had to catch myself a couple of times because he would be looking toooo good and I had to refocus lol. I think he'll look really good in game with all of his animations. Hopefully I can keep steady progress and I won't have such a big jump in art skills because- boy it is fun, don't get me wrong- but updating all the art is very time consuming. It ain't much but it's honest werk.
(Not picture, but he looked real good angry. Hehehe)
I'm just focusing on art right now, but I'll definitely have to come back around and heavily edit the writing for day one and two as well. Because just like my art, I feel like my writing style has also drastically changed, hopefully for the better. I'm happier with it. Oh, and also adding some more options. For example, many people have requested to "cry" or "yell" when first encountering Jim lol. And I feel like as the DM I can definitely offer those options haha. I had not considered them when I was first working on the game. So lots of stuff to do.
I keep adjusting Jim's character sheet. And I definitely need it for consistency reasons. But this is kinda what his sprite is turning out to look like. I'm still working on it and I'm quite happy how he's turning out. I'm probably done with day one CGs (Fireplace talk + door encounter) and all of is their working parts.
Finally, as a little treat, I have the little model of Jim's cabin I made a long time ago. Just for some help with making the backgrounds, planning, and stuff. It was free online somewhere. BUT I definitely should have used Sims or anything else because that would have probably been infinitely better lol. But there it is.
Personal stuff
I've been a bit sick, but I'm on the up and up now and I think things will be a lot better going forward. Generally. Recentering fictional characters has improved my life greatly lol. The soft creature in me is healing and it desires shameless, self indulgent smut again.
Be back soon~

I hope new chapter coming soon :sobs:
Does Jim realize he is in a game?
Nope.
I love that his posture is becoming more 🦐 over time LOL
Damn, your art is amazing, the improvement is insane! Thank u for this all, you’re inspiring💗
His hair is darker as the storyline haha (pd. Hi, I'm new here, love your work and love the novel, keep going please) <3
There's something interesting about the way the new artstyle is starting to look a little more detailed and honestly, it looks nice, it shows how much you're improving. ✨
Its like watching him grow up🥹 this is insane improvement he looks so so handsome!! What's that image in the bottom right of his sprite sheet tho...👀
Jim looks like he’s been working out, he’s getting bigger 😍😍😍😍😍
Some crazy improvement there! I'm very curious about that writing, I can't wait to play again! 👀❄️
Remina you literally invented art omg you improve so fast like that’s insane
I’m so excited for part 3 and so proud of you for the style updates, every time I check the artwork has gotten better!
I have a question, I hope and it is allowed to know, is Jim a green flag?
Pardon? 😭 Yellow flag, maybe?
jims little slouch in his character sheet awww
So glad you're feeling better! It's so cool seeing how Jim has evolved! His posture is so endearing. I think it really adds to getting his vibe as a person across just by looking at him (if that makes sense lol) I was also surprised to see that the bedrooms aren't directly next to eachother! I had a suspicion that the painting in the guest room was connected to Jim's room and served as a peep hole to keep tabs on folk. Maybe I just watch too much Scooby Doo lol
Im glade your starting to feel better! Its so crazy to see how good your getting at drawing! He just keeps getting hotter every time!
