Been a while since I've been able to sit down and program. Hello again Gad, my darling.

Pst... for you #IndieDev folk making fantasy-themed games, there's a VisuStella Atelier sale this month featuring 17 icon series (2 of which are new releases!) for 50% off! There's stuff like potions, plants, ingots, and rocks in this sale, and they even have a weapons collection as well.
I've used a few before to make a small crafting game, and so I can vouch for their quality. Why not check it out?

I've been a little silent over here because not gonna lie, my mental health has been a shoddily-built roller coaster and I want to keep things pretty gamedev focused. Life is... *gestures broadly at politics*

Update 26: May 2022 Update · Schrodinger's Catgirl: A visual novel adventure

Hey ny'all, hope things are going well wherever you are! May is finally here (already?!?) so with that comes a new update! WASD Recap We had a blast at WASD London! With Lolon and Bec (Els' sister) running the booth, we met a whole bunch of cool peeps and talked shop. As you can see in the first photo, we handed out four unique business card designs as well, one for each member of L.I.T. as well as the titular Catgirl. We even showcased an entirely new demo for players to check out! Speaking of Which... Grab that updated demo here if you haven't already! The Hayes Manor is waiting for you to rediscover its secrets, which include: New scenes A completely re-worked ground floor layout Backer cat portraits New UI And more...! Along with that, we also have a sparkly new bit.ly link for the Steam page over at https://bit.ly/SchroCatgirlSteam Wishlists help us get seen on Steam, so we'd love it if you could take a moment and add Schrodinger's Catgirl to your lists! Spreadsheets Are Love, Spreadsheets Are Life Els posted this in the Discord and seemed very excited about it. He was saying something about "more flexible evidence creation" and "faster puzzle testing" and "potential localization" but all we heard was "spreadsheets spreadsheets spreadsheets". Level Design is Our Passion The basement floor is coming together as those backgrounds start coming in, but since it's past the point of where the demo ends, that's mostly spoilers! We're in the slightly boring bit of production where it's a lot of designing puzzles that we can't show off, but things are still progressing. Let's Keep in Touch! If you've been on top of social media news, you'll have heard that a certain someone is trying to make things worse for everyone involved, so we'd like to remind you all that we're available in these places: Facebook Twitter Discord And if none of those are your jam, we highly encourage you to sign up for our newsletter! We'll be using it for bigger updates and a few treats, so don't miss out!

"Wow BaiYu, you've posted about 3 different projects! Is that all you're working on?"

I gaze out the window as I give a hollow laugh. There's so much more than just this. Such is the life of a freelance marketer.
