False Flag

#devlog Year 3, Day 10 Halloween update (I swear I hadn't planned it) REC/REW ReWRITE v0.1.2 is out! +2 story days: the funeral & the call triggering the first story arc. ~4k new words. Full story here: justanothernick.itch.io/recrew/devlog/… #gamedev #indiedev #visualnovel #renpy

Year 3, day 182: What was the dream about? Was it important? Then I should remember... youtu.be/Y5YKtdZYms8 #gamedev #visualnovel #renpy #vndev

#devlog Year 3, Day 130 REC/REW ReWRITE, v0.1.9 - now live. Deep technical upgrade: bug fixes, ambient sound and a finalized rhythmic text system. Same story. Just deeper. #visualnovel #gamedev #indiedev #renpy #indiegames justanothernick.itch.io/recrew/devlog/…

#devlog Year 3, day 98: REC/REW ReWRITE finally hits update #6 & I feel I'm past the worst of it (at least until the next "wait-I-totally-need-this-gizmo" galore XD!) Full story+some dev/lore thoughts on my #itch devlog: justanothernick.itch.io/recrew/devlog/… #visualnovel #indiedev #gamedev

#devlog Year 3, day 95: You tried your best, and you failed miserably. The lesson is, Never try! #indiedev #gamedev #renpy

#devlog Year 3, day 91: Took me a week to understand, I was not working with #renpy but actually *fighting* it. Moving past this stage, though. Well, mostly. I still toy with the idea of releasing a #visualnovel requiring a GTX 5090Ti to work properly... #indiedev #gamedev

#devlog Year 3, day 76: After merely *talking* about what I'm going to add to my #visualnovel... here it is. REC/REW ReWRITE, fifth update. Full story in my #itch devlog. justanothernick.itch.io/recrew/devlog/… #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev

#devlog Year 3, day 68: Two weeks of sleep deprivation, Python fights, Ren’Py shenanigans, and one wild idea later... #visualnovel #gamedev #indiedev #renpy youtu.be/r9PdBWP-PFU

@siezziee I *still* can't call it in any other way honestly o_O

When was the last time you called it "Twitter"

#devlog Year 3, day 54: REC/REW-ReWRITE v0.1.5 is out. 10k new words and a lot of ideas under development. Had to postpone a major feature - I need it to be perfect. Full details in the devlog as usual. justanothernick.itch.io/recrew/devlog/… #visualnovel #indiedev #gamedev

#devlog Year 3, day 48: This is (not) a new project. Just reality bleeding through. The matter is - which reality? #visualnovel #indiedev #gamedev

#devlog Year 3,day 42: Debugging my 2136 lines screens.rpy. First time I _seriously_ mess with it. Fails deadly. Fix random font property on a button. Works like a charm. Don't know how you call it. I call it Yog-Sothothery. #visualnovel #indiedev #gamedev #renpy

#devlog Year 3, Day 36: REC/REW-ReWRITE gets her fourth update - and our protagonist officially begins his dive into obsessive paranoia. Full story and future plans here: justanothernick.itch.io/recrew/devlog/… #indiedev #gamedev #visualnovel

#devlog Year 3, day 22: Was this a Dick novel, you’d see a Ubik ad. Or, you'd be gifted a Mickey Mouse watch. My #visualnovel offers a detective asking the wrong questions and a shrink giving the wrong therapy. justanothernick.itch.io/recrew Paranoia needs witnesses. #indiedev #gamedev

@Gosleepriya Oui.

Let's see who is smart among you.

#devlog Year 3, day 19: Giò. Default name for my #visualnovel main character. Phonetically perfect translation of "Joe" - like Joe Chip en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubik Recommended reading for those who want to shiver whenever they feel a coin in their pocket. #gamedev #indiedev

#devlog Year 3, day 16 I've been told I'm obsessed with my #visualnovel. Addicted. That I should stop living in my head and go back to the real world. They're wrong. I'm writing *because* I fell too deep into the real world. I write to stay afloat.

#devlog Year 3, day 13 Writing my way out of story arc 2 - day 26. Doesn't count as writing anymore. Characters fight me back. They claw through the scenes. I give then a way out - they slam it in my face. I'm just trying not to get eaten alive. #visualnovel #indiedev

#devlog Year 3, Day 7 #visualnovel assets building using a legacy posing tool and GIMP. Modest expectations. Unexpectedly decent results, sometimes. #gamedev #indiedev #renpy

#devlog Year 3, day 4 "People come in two flavours: those who like cuddles, admit it, and enjoy them; and, those who like cuddles, don’t admit it - and enjoy them anyway." Straight into the ideas bucket for Arc 3 of my #visualnovel. Guess who says that?
