12/26/2025, Christmas Update

11:47pm, Merry Christmas!

I honestly decided to take a break from the game and other things. My life took a weird turn where my last "friend" I had from my last friend group ended up blocked. I am currently alone, with me doing the testing, the art, the game and the coding. All on my own.

I won't complain anymore, it ain't worth it. I did a last drawing before my art style rebrand, which I started right after the last picture I put in my gallery. I honestly don't care anymore about this. I want to do this game because it's important to me, but after everything, I don't think I want to do visual novels like I originally planned. At least not until I feel comfortable with making bigger projects. All I have gotten is bombshell after bombshell, so I honestly won't budge. Not anymore.

For now, I'll take a break and wait until things are calmer for me. I might work on a secondary project, or draw other things. I need some time to think...

12/15/2025

5:13pm, I have finally got my hands on the CSS part of the game to edit and tweak the colors and font for a more fitting look in the game.

I have yet to decide the colors, but this was a good testing to begin learning the basics of CSS, once again. But, as expected, it's only at it's barebones and the beta. I still need some beta testers to play the game and give me feedback, but let's be completely honest... This site isn't as big and neither is my Tumblr or my Bluesky (the latter is the one that gets the most traction, which is why I'm considering to migrate my game development shenanigans there and keep my Tumblr for fandom-related things). Summed up, this site gets little to no attention, which is expected from an indie web, but it will have my game stagnant in here. Itch.io isn't an option either, with the censorship drama going on. I guess I will still go and post it here, and spread the site as much as I can on Tumblr and Bluesky.

As for the story, I also have updated some scenes with editing, and written more of the last scene I was working on. I said it before, though; I'm caring for my mom therefore I will be slighly sporadic. But I'm making progress in the game, which is what matters. The art is lacking slightly, but I'm doing my best to keep up with the character designs by using doll makers, images for inspo, and picrews. It's not like I'll be illustrating the scenes as I write them... I need to have the draft done to know where the pictures will be located, at least.

Regardless, I'm sleepy and hungry so... See ya later, broskies.

12/13/2025

1:12pm, I FINALLY FINISHED UNIVERSITY!

I have been distracted since, at the time I will post this I may be either waiting for my mom to get out of the hospital or simply caring for her with my sister (as of posting this, she is okay and being cared for at home, she's safe and sound). Don't worry! She's fine, it's a plastic surgery we were expecting for a while now. God fancied it and everything is ok. Wish a swift recovery for mami, tho!!

Now with so much free time, I'll be able to work on my game, which makes me HAPPY AS HECK! I know I have taken a long ass time to even write this or work on my game; ergo, this site has been inactive for at least a week according to the Neocities' stats. But now that I am on vacation and have passed this semester with a good GPA, I think I can focus on my game now. Granted, time is limited for me on a screen since I'm caring for my mom.

Because of my university, however, there are no updates for my game as of right now. After all, I was on finals and that was taking all my time this last week, and being MIA for so long has left me a bit blocked both on art and writing. I'm doing an art request for a friend that broke the former, but I need yet to break from the latter. I also need to work on a painting I started before uni got heavy as hell. Yeah, summed up I have a LOT of things to do now, hah!

I guess it would be all for now? I have a few crazy IRL things to do before I keep working on my game, LOL! Singing at choir and caring for mami, for sure. Anyways, see ya later!

12/4/2025

10:49pm, I KNOW I HAVE BEEN INACTIVE FOR A WHILE AAAA!!!

I will be honest, I haven't worked on the game because I'm currently on finals. And boi. THEY SAID "Y'ALL AINT SURVIVING!" But I'll be fine, I'm just busy as hell and I decided to fully concentrate in school because I still need a stable job. There's also the possibility of going back to the States next year so DEFINITIVELY my time is short to work on my game, but I will get the demo out ASAP. I just need time to finish with university and we're all set.

On another note, I updated the site with a new about me in the index. Meaning, I decided to use a fake name (which I'll probably ditch tbh). Dunno about that one because I'm genuinely too chronically offline now. I'm proud of that by the way, since I finally am growing as a person and leaving social media. I'm just tired of being under that big of a control of the algorithms online.

Some friends also left me recently so maybe, just maybe, expect inactivity until I recover. With that being said, see ya!

11/29/2025, (Belated) Birthday Notice

6:13pm, Happy Birthday to me! I'm 23 now, (since November 26, actually!).

I must admit I'm having a hard time, especially with a random QPR who broke up with me because, in simpler words, she can't understand that I can't give a romantic relationship or anything of the sort. They can't handle my aroace swag, haha. I'm also coming out as that, aroace. I genuinely feel comfortable having no relationships nor QPRs and just relying on myself. But that's not gonna be an important topic for a while.

This won't really slow down the process, since I won't allow this painful experience mark up the game like the previous event did. I want to be strong and continue with this game, no matter what. On the other hand, I have finished one more scene to keep up with the progress. I did it as I rested between the making of homework for university (waiting for the liquid paper to dry LOL), so it's obviously not perfect. There's a LOT to fix and even more to retouch and polish. But I need to finish up the story so I can then edit the scenes and then do the art.

So far, these are the only scenes that exist. I need to work things out on my own now that I have no testers to play my game, so I have to do the testing by myself. I genuinely apologize for this mess, but I'm trying to be as collected as possible. With that being said, see you all!

11/25/2025

11:24pm, Okay guys, this is crucial. Incredibly crucial.

The story is slowly growing (as you may compare with the last screenshot), and while I don't know when the prologue will be up for editing, I still need some help right now.

Well, within the span of the weekend, I made the decision to cut off contact with more people (reasons why are summed up by saying that I did it for my own comfort and to protect myself and my peace). And because of this, I lost my main beta testers for my game. This has me testing the game alone, on my own- which would slow the progress thanks to my schoolwork and life shenanigans, as well as multiple other things outside of my control like running errands and the possibilities for a job next year. Tight schedules are common with me, and it doesn't help that I'm fighting my phone and social media addiction. Because of this, we can say I am kind of chronically offline.

This means that the game will take a tad bit longer than it should, since now it's me, a friend and a QPR that is doing the testing, so it went from five people to just three testing the game. I would ask for some help, but I know that my accounts are incredibly small. This site hasn't gotten much attention because, well this isn't social media- there's no algorithm or things of similar caliber. I don't really mind that, but it does hinder me when looking for volunteering beta testers. The rewrite didn't help either, since I did a hard restart of the game for my comfort due to that fiasco on October 31st. There is A LOT to do.

On a brighter note, I no longer need to learn JavaScript. I found a decent VN engine named Super Videotome that has a way simpler language and STILL works as a HTML file. The link is annexed to the name (as you may have noticed), but going back to the topic, I believe that games in the future will look nice if I play my cards right. I still have a lot to learn about game development, so I'm still going to use Twine until I have everything sorted out with Videotome.

For a final note, I would like you guys to text in the CBox in the index if you would like to be a beta tester! It's not obligatory, but definitively encouraged.

Without further ado, see you later guys!!

11/23/2025

7:52pm, This is a good news dev log.

I can't make promises as of right now, because last time I did, I crashed out. But I think I found how to do digital art in a way that works WONDERS for me.

The trick I learned is to do the sketch and line art traditionally, then take a picture and import it to IbisPaint and extract the lines with the app, and then color it on Infinite Painter or any app I find nice to use. I still need to find a good app that isn't Infinite, because it's still... Laggy. It didn't lag as much this time but it was stil a minor inconvenience- especially when the lag is on the brushes/S-Pen. But, if I can fix it or find another app, I will work things out.

I updated the gallery with the new art piece, I hope y'all like it! That being said, see ya later! I'm gonna watch the FNAF movie right now!

11/21/2025

1:58pm, Surprise! I am alive and well. Guess what...

Tada! The new rewrite and changes are starting to get worked on with a LOT of enthusiasm and happiness! This story is finally taking its shape in a way that is natural for me and... Isn't making me so HAPPY! It's forming a personality I'm enjoying and the workflow is very easy to handle!

Because of this, homework has been a breeze, but I unfortunately have to focus more on it- as I always say. But this specific workflow and type of project make it ten time easier to handle and control, especially now that I can do proper traditional art (at least until I learn to draw digitally or get motivation to do a visual novel with traditional mediums).

On the topic of art and visual novels, I should explain that the visual novels WILL come. The problem with making a VN as of right now, however, is that the new engine uses JavaScript instead of Python like in Ren'Py. And sadly, I still can't use the latter because the HTML files get broken when exported in here (press F to pay respects to poor old beta game), which left me no choice other than learn about Monogatari. But GOD. JS is hard to understand, and learning how to show a single sprite will have me crash out a la Digital Circus asbtracting. Either way, I will make it work later on when I have proper free time. That will probably be soon, depending on how early my semester ends. It's online schooling, anyways.

I also decided to add a new character, and I am SO proud of him. He deserves the world... It's an addition to add a role similar to Mizuki's in DRAMAtical Murder, basically wingman'ing the protag through the playthrough.

My only need as of right now is beta testers. The game is really simple to play. It's just pressing hyper links! But I need to test out if the pictures will be showing when using File Garden, if the placeholders work efficiently, etc. But we don't really know if we should open a Patreon/Ko-Fi for that... It's something we have been evaluating for a while, but since this is way far into the web... Well, you get what we mean... So, if anyone who peeks in is interested in anything like that, would you chat on the chatbox in the index? That would be so... cool. But don't feel obligated to!

I think that would be it for now! Thank you guys!!

11/17/2025, IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

12:15pm, I have made a crucial decision that will change everything for me and whoever reads this and was following the game. It was not an easy decision to do but, due to personal and technical issues, I made the choice.

I will change the game from visual novel to an interactive novel. The explanation as to why is a very long and complicated story that I will tell now.

So, this game was originally planned as an interactive novel that rose because I learned about the Degrees of Lewdity (DOL) drama, as I was told by a friend who unfortunately has fleed the internet that the developers had a long history of racism and other problematic things I don't really remember. This was way back in February of this year, a time where I was in offline university and would work on homework on certain times of the day, therefore the moment I started my first part of the project it was originally made in Twine with my traditional art. It was a very fun and heartwarming experience, which resulted in me growing into the interactive novel format as a simple way of making games without stretching my limits.

However, the trip to the USA happened, as well as multiple breakups and heartbreaks about life, which rendered me unstable and unnecessarily stressed. This is when I was with my last partner, who convinced me to change the project from an IF to a visual novel, and thus I started learning to draw digitally after countless of times trying and failing- because I loathe drawing on a computer or a tablet no matter how hard I tried. This led to multiple format changes about the art direction, and indecisive ambivalence that would go back and forth with me. My breakup with that ex had me completely unarmed by the end, which is why I had to do a lot of changes- a big part of the game was inspired by them, including the format and their own likes.

This was a good thing, by the end. The story took a different route and it had a far better narrative tone, but reality is discouraging, sometimes. And in this reality, Itch.io has ongoing, RAMPANT censorship that is removing taboo content... Content that is incredibly common in Yandere games. With these rules waving over my head, how am I supposed to make the game work?

This is when I thought of hosting the game here, on a specific part of the site. I saw no problem with that, in fact it was a big benefit for me. If I did get to fund it by using Ko-fi or Patreon, the money would be completely mine minus the taxes these sites have. But then, another problem appeared...

When I tested the HTML file generator for Ren'Py, I found out that it's broken. I uploaded it here and I not only rewrote the INDEX on accident, of all things. I also found out that the game is completely unusable; the only thing the file shows is a literal black screen with two icons overlapping each other. And I did a quick research and, apparently, Ren'Py cannot host HTML files that easily on a site like this, or at least not as easily.

So, I decided to do this game and other upcoming titles on Twine, while I learn how to use Monogatari to have visual novels hosted in this site. And I am so sorry about this mess. I know I have changed a lot of things for this game, but I have been struggling all this time with countless of hardships, including this one. I am excited, however, of what this new chapter in my life will bring when it comes to game development. I take this not as a setback, but as a different turn in my path of life.

Without anything else to say, I thank you for the patience you have had with me all this time. See you soon~

11/16/2025

10:17pm, So... Remember when I said I was happy with how my digital art looks? Yeah. Well, I LIED.

I think our traditional art looks ten times better and, well, the pressure of drawing digital art is gone. I'm exhausted of constanly jumping between the two so... Traditional art, it is.

On a similar train of thought, I finished my final design for one of the characters. It's Karasu! I will say the name of the characters once their design is done, so take that as a game update. As for the story, however, I am brainstorming the rewrite. It's going to take a while because we're busy as hell, though. University got insane suddenly.

11/13/2025 - SOFT GAME RESET UPDATE

3:19pm, I have been debating this for a while now, due to both mental health issues and personal choices.

Well, it's not so bad, but it is crucial to let you know that I have decided to rewrite the demo. There's really not much to it rather than the main characters were actually too young to my comfort (19 to 22 years old), and while I enjoy young adult stories, this game is meant to be more of a horror game rather than a cute romance. There is a yandere, and also an intense tsundere meant for toxic yaoi purposes. The game is meant to be dark as it is, and having characters who (while being adults) are not mature enough it was setting up the game for disaster. Itch.io has a lot of rules to follow and I by no means want to risk it. So I changed the ages to roughly 25 to 27 years, as well as the protagonist's role. As for the plot, it will be roughly the same. The characters will keep their essence, albeit a bit more mature and with some changes.

There is also an emotional aspect to the changes, however. The game had a lot of ties to our ex and other things that had us tied back to the point to give it an early, soft reset way before calling the former draft as final. It is a genuine thought we had for a while, and what was hindering the process of the writing. It's also why it has been stuck in the "last two scenes before the ending", outside of the lack of comfort.

Similarly, I ask you guys to understand that this site is anti-censorship and pro-fiction safe, which is why I decided to give the big changes in the game. I understand that rules are rules, as much as they are in favor of censorship. This is for safety rather than other things.

Regardless, I will go back to studying now. When I can, I will update you guys with something nice. But for now, this is the reset.

11/11/2025

11:09am, Hello, people! God has given me the opportunity to type this!

I decided to fully focus on university these days, as I am currently having multiple exams and big uni projects at once. Because of that, my game has been on a small hiatus, and as I'm writing this I have JUST finished an exam with a very good grade (I actually started writing this dev log yesterday, which means that the exam was that day, just so you know), and I will continue studying as we speak. However, we wanted to say some important things.

The first thing is that WE ARE OFFICIALLY DIAGNOSED. Err... Medically recognized. Our new therapist was super understanding of both our narcissistic traits and our DID. Regardless, this is a good thing, as now we will have more specific help. The therapist also said I'm getting significantly better, which is ALSO a good thing. Overall, we're getting better.

This influx of positivity has led to another point; art. Believe it of not, we are getting in such a better mental state I now actually enjoy doing digital art! It has been an incredibly fun experience now that I feel no pressure to be a certain way. I'm trying to stop worrying about the opinion of others, which has helped my mental health. This means that the game will have digital art!

The only bad new is that, well, university will keep us busy, but we will add a new page on the extra content... GAME REVIEWS! This is because we want to do gaming things on our YouTube with our 3DS (which is TOTALLY not hacked), AKA doing vertical lives while playing on our silly little boy. We're also considering making a diary part where we do blogposts. Who knows? Possibilities are endless here in the web!

Anyways! Time is up! We have to study now, so... Take care!

11/6/2025

3:54pm,Okay, everyone! This is an important (good) new!

As we're writing this dev log, we're started working on our game. We decided that this game will stay as it is, with some minor changes related to design and personality- not really detailed changes, just quirks that came from our ex. The art and the story will stay the same- maybe the drawings will be done on the phone but that's another story for another log. Reality is... My tablet lags a lot and the only app it runs is Ibis Paint, which I do not really like because of the brushes (they look too digital-like), and Infinite Painter is the laggiest app. I'm re-testing Autodesk Sketchbook to see if this one works, but I honestly can't make promises. I have used it before but it is so limited. Small advice from me; do NOT get a Samsung Tab S6 if you want to use Infitine Painter or any art app outside of Ibis Paint.

Back to the game, I will also ask you people to be patient with us. While we have broken out of it, we are still in recovery and will be extremely slow when making this game. However, the demo's script (NOT THE FULL GAME) is almost done. Just four more scenes, two per route/ending, editing the scenes, and soon I will export it to Twine-to-Ren'Py and it will be ready to work on the rest. But we NEED some time to recover.

Anyways, I'm studying right now, so... See ya later, comrades!

11/4/2025

4:14pm, Just as I said, I revamped the site with some colors and new banner and background set. Shadowwork Studios, which matches with our system name, Shadow Paradise.

Similarly, our name on our intro has changed to the new hosts of the system. I know, you probably are confused, but you can act like I'm still the same person. So don't worry, content will always be the same regardless.

About my new identity, though... I recently found out that, while I'm transmasc bodily, our system has incredibly marked gender identities per alter. To this, add that we don't want to fully transition because our body has a somewhat transmasc-aligned traits (turns out I'm likely intersex lol)... Well, we decided to label ourselves as genderfluid. But again, nothing will change when it comes to content.

As for the game, we are still in on hiatus for our own comfort. But we have been considering remaking the game plot or even change the entire project altogether. I have a lot of things to reconsider as of right now, and this story brings memories I do not like since this game had a lot of things my ex-partner suggested for it, and I want to change the story or even the concept. The annoying part is that, well, the demo is VERY CLOSE to be done on Twine. And that sole fact is a hit to our mind because our ex was our motivation. But I need to understand that this isn't their project. It's ours. And we can do anything with it.

On an entire different note, we did a Live broadcast on YouTube! Our first live, which was really fun! I got to talk to some people while doing it, which were latinos like me! That was a sweet reminded of my own roots and even a sweet memory I got. Granted, my battery from my phone decided to die amid stream, but it was the best experience I could ever imagine. I will go for more, and I will get out of this pit

11/2/2025

6:09pm, I have been busy with university and other things, as well as our grieving over the breakup. We decided to let ourselves feel this hit, but also to open up about this story.

Due to reasons I will not disclose, we broke up with our partner and we are dealing with this since day one- October 31st. Due to this, the game has been on full pause for now, and our own disorders are relapsing. For reference, we have DID and NPD, which are not the best combo.

Because to this, we have been struggling to do the game alongside other things, and even we barely got on top with university this week. This, paired with the lack of attention about our game, we have been incredibly under the weather. After all, he was our biggest support in this process but now continuing this game lost its meaning. This doesn't mean I'll stop. Absolutely not! But I believe I need some time to recover. Some words are appreciated, but it's okay if you just lurk around.

In terms of the game, there is only three quarters of a scene left before the ending, for each route. I haven't worked on the game as much because of the reasons above, but I will work on this project once I have recovered for the most part and can get proper words done. I will try to draw (even if traditionally) to keep the site updated- even if it's just vent art to cope. I also will try my best to do live streams on Youtube, starting up with probably playing a game on my 3DS, even if I have to set up the camera and not do a screenshare.

TL;DR, the game will be on a hiatus, but I will still continue to keep this site updated. So please, stand by...

10/31/2025

10:16pm, After a few hours of debating and fighting myself, I decided that I will continue this game, no matter what. But I will also do a theme revamp to the site (probably), so the memories are not so strong. I'll be ok. I know I will.

6:49pm, I have very bad news.

Due to things I cannot control, I had to break up with our partner. I'm not in the best mindset and to be honest my biggest motivation for this game was him- especially because it was a yaoi game inspired by both of our interests. But now I feel like this game has no meaning now. If I'm being honest, I would continue this game just so I can have something to be proud of. I have no reasons to continue, anyways.

This means that I'll take a hiatus. Not like people care. I'm talking to the wall here. I receive no responses, I receive nothing for this project to continue. And I'm tired. I'm so tired. I want to continue this but I don't have the will to do so, and people are not even sending us anything...

I'm sorry.

10/29/2025

5:11pm, Okay, everyone! Good news!

Yesteday was a rollercoaster of emotions due to personal situtions, so I was incredibly upset. The art thing was something that had me on a chokehold for a few days until I settled up on doing the art digitally again but done on my tablet. Maybe the insecurities I had about my art where in my head, you know? So, I put up my big boy pants and decided to learn digital and ignore that little voice in my head that criticizes everything. Very freeing, 10/10 and would recommend!

As for the story, it's progressing swiftly, albeit slower because I'm trying to make sense of thedemo/prologue by revising the story parts to prevent any plotholes and contradictions. I already said it, though. I want this game to be well done, even if it's still a beginner's work. But I'm motivated!

With that going on, I will work on the game when I can. Homework and university are taking some time and I must focus entirely on it so I can be a good teacher too.

10/28/2025

8:44pm, I have finished the first scene of the second phase of the game, and I'm trying to work on the art. Unfortunately, I'm a bit blocked and that has slowed the process of writting my next scene. I'm just tired with some real-life events and the lack of support on my posts. It's stupid, really, but I just feel like people are not checking the posts about our game on other places, as they never comment on it. That sole fact, alongside my art not being as powerful when I draw digitally and this VN community valuing the same art medium I can't really do...

If you see my YouTube posts, you will notice it. My shorts with digital art in it have more traction than any of my traditional art do. And that pains me. It pains me that they prefer me sacrificing my comfort, which isn't really the issue. It's the fact that they might turn around and exit my itch.io when they see my assets made on paper, with markers and pens. Handmade, with my own hands. That sole fact terrifies me, it scares me to know that my skills are not enough. That my game will look like it had zero resources... When there is a lot of effort put in this.

The good news are that, well, in the end with all the stress going on, I did some research on traditionally made VN sprites, and it does exist. People have done it before, so I can be okay while doing this. I'm just worried that this decision affects the traction of the game in the long run. Of course there are games like Slay the Princess, or this artist I just found out about named Alexis Royce. But the constant fear is paralyzing, and I needed to let it out. It's part of the creation process, after all.

10/27/2025

4:51pm, Missed me? (has literally no followers)

Jokes aside, hello! I am back after two long days. I was hitting the university hard, so I JUST finished my biggest project so far, and to be honest I hope I get a decent grade on it. Visiting schools isn't for the faint of heart for sure...

Leaving that aside, I have no updates for the game storywise, but I DO have updates about art. I'm currently working on an art commission (which, if you wish to commission me, just know you can find the info on my Tumblr), but I'm working on making the first official character design with a new line art style I'm developing. And by the looks of it, it's gonna be awesome. I also found about cam scanners so I'm looking for free options until I can find a good one that has no watermark. You know, me being cheap despite buying Procreate Pocket and probably not use it. Either way, I will be able to work this art style out!

10/25/2025

12:06am, I know, I know. Late as hell.

I was working on the game JUST now, but today (or yesterday?) was such a shitty day for me I even ended up venting on Tumblr. Must admit... Not my best moment. At least I was open about having NPD, thing that I was scared of opening up about. But eh... I genuinely don't want those moments to define my identity online. Much less being a lolcow over having a sad social life and mental illnesses. That is a secondary fact about me.

Going back to the main topic; the first scene from the first route is nowhere near finished. Again, I had a horrible day emotionally, but I aced my grammar test with a B+! Which is a good pick up from the horrendous test I forgot to do. My university projects are catching up, which is why I picked up the game until the time I logged this in. Regardless, progress is still progress, even if it's small!

10/23/2025

6:33pm, The first part of the demo is done! I unfortunately have to say that I must focus more on university so... I will be slow with the process until I can finally work on this game full-time during Christmas holidays. In other words, the game will still be worked on, just slower. It's not like it won't be finished earlier, though!

In a similar way, I did a quick checkup and apparently, people like my traditional art better on Tumblr (11 notes on a traditional fan art of Sei from DRAMAtical Murder vs 8 notes in another fan art of Towa from Slow Damage). So I made the decision of making the game assets traditionally, with markers and paper. It sounds a bit complex or even cheap, but trust me. I have done the test before and I will upload it on the gallery after I'm done with this log.

Oh, I also added a chat box. I got bored and I added it. Let's see how many messages I get... Or hate. My fictional taste is heinous so I'll get some nasty comments but whatever. I'm going to kill them with kindness, anyways.

As I have said before, I ask for patience, especially more than ever. This is a hobby project, not a professional job. I'm doing this solo, with paper, markers, a 4 GB computer and a whole lot of determination!

10/22/2025

4:59pm, I know guys, I posted art and didn't log it on here. Webmaster here is insanely busy and have been trying to focus on university and important adult errands. Funny, though... Google disagrees that I'm an adult so they had to verify my age. I am NOT doing that. It's asking for an ID I refuse to give!

Leaving that aside, I have been working on the artistic part of the game (character designs, mostly). I'm also doing homework as we speak because, well, I still need a job outside of art and programming. Teaching English is surprisingly fun, and it was funny how I ended up in this career, but that is for another conversation, perhaps. Back to the game...

The truth is... I only have one scene left to continue with the next batch of scenes before ending the first part of it! It would be this last scene, two or three more scenes per route and it would be done! Then I would have to go through the proofreading process and work from there. But even then, it is yet another milestone I'm hitting. Between the views on this site and the achievements I'm reaching to, I feel unequivocally grateful of God and how I'm growing as a person. Regardless, I don't want to act like this was all by myself. My partner and best friends have been supporting me for so long with this it isn't funny. Nagisa, Luciano, Rose... Ilysm! Thanks for being here with me...

1:30pm, I just added some blinkes to the site! Wanted to have a divider with something cute because I may be a trans guy but the femininity in me hasn't left the crap off me. Leaving that aside, I'm studying as we speak because I honestly have nothing to do outside of coding the game. The site is done, and as much as I'm excited for this game I have duties I must fulfill, both as an adult and an uni student. So please, stand by while I get my tasks sorted out, ok?

7:33pm, Sometimes having free time is a curse because I was revamping the entire site in a single day. Oops! Oh well, now you know I changed the layout in a day. Shout out to sadgrl's layout generator. Not only did I make this, I also learned how to style things! Heck ye!!!

2:37pm, It has been an eventful morning today, but I won't focus on homework today. However, I have updated my gallery with a new art concept for one of the characters for my game. It was made on my tablet (which I somehow learned how to use) and Infinite Painter. My tablet's a Samsung S6 so I brought that app way before this game was even in plans. Because you know... Infinite is the Android's Procreate. It was a quick sketch with a grey base, but I might make more in the future. I'm not fully convinced about his design though, because he looks incredibly close to Crowe from TKATB. I most probably will change his hair from a braid to a ponytail and his color palette from navy blue to sky blue, or change his design entirely. I don't want to get accused of plagiarism for thinking cowboys look hotter with braids...

I find interesting that there are people who have looked at this blog, tho! 1,046 views?! That is a huge step! Of course I can't compete with the sites that have more than a million, but that number is big for me. Incredibly big. I'm glad people like this site I made by looking for free codes out of random places, really. I might update and rework this site soon. I just need to learn how to cuz I just have a braincell and it nudges me to study better -.-! Regardless, thanks so much for checking this site and I hope you enjoy your stay!!!

8:08pm, I have decided to open up a bit about what I'm doing, because I cannot keep myself quiet. I genuinely am excited, as I have finished more scenes that I had planned by now and I can't shut up. Everyone, I am making a full videogame for once. While yes, this neocities has the "game developer" tag, I was not sure about this choice at all! I have had toyed with a few game engines like Ren'Py or Twine, but I have never done anything of the sort like this. I plan on making this game short, like around four chapters or so. This is becaus I want to keep my spectations small for now because I have fluctuating motivation. I also brought Procreate Pocket so I can do proper art with better texture brushes and other fun things.

While this is happening, I do want to let people know that this is a hobby project. I will work on this project when I feel like it and when I find myself motivated. I hope you guys respect that.

7:44pm, I have worked sporadically on this project, but unfortunately I was in a horrible mental state... And I still am. So my project has been frozen for a long while by now, and I have been doing my best to keep myself at bay with all of this happening, and it is all because I am genuinely struggling a LOT with my art and the lack of audience. I have tried fan arts, text posts, everything. And there is nothing that has any people looking. A few likes here and there, and also the constant bot spam from Tumblr, but nothing else. My mental health has declined significantly because of this, especially I was supposed to farm some followers before I could even start promoting my project. But this isn't the case. So, I took a break from Tumblr for now. I might probably take a break from drawing and focus on my paintings, or straight up stop doing art for a while. I will focus on the other parts of the project, which means that I will still be updating stuff.

6:51pm, I have been working secretly on this project alongside university and my paintings/art business. IRL things have been taking some time from me as well, but I'm managing to have an organized schedule to fit everything in a day. It kind of sucks, because I have to keep this a secret for now, or else it won't work out. So you guys will have this to be hidden for now.

10/4/2025; IMPORTANT UPDATE

10:09pm, Important news!! I have opened MY NEW STORE! As of right now, it only has one item- a painting I'm selling. I will add more items as time passes, because my paintings take a long while to do, unfortunately. On the same track of thought, I decided to start focusing on traditional art. You may be confused, considering I want to make digital products like future games, art prints, etc... But there's nothing a bit of editing, a camera and a scanner can do! Now that this is out of the way, I also will move to another project outside of my paintings... Toodles!

10/2/2025

6:13pm, I have been incredibly busy with unpacking my things and cleaning, so my plans are slow or even on full-stop. However some new ideas have popped in my brain, but at the same time I have been mentally unwell, but I know things will be okay in the end. I will have more free time once I'm done with unpacking, so my project will be finished soon!

10:46am, I had to stop my biggest secret project due to university and work, but now that I'm going back to Puerto Rico (my country), I'll be able to do it! I have two main projects as of right now, one of which is VERY close to be fully finished. The other one, not so much. I have yet to write and draw everything before I get to the rest of the job. But as of right now, I'm busy with my first milestone- the one that is incredibly near to once I step into my homeland. Unfortunately, I wanted to work on the other project... But that's okay.

9/9/2025

5:11pm, Finished my site today, so now I have it fully done, I can't give much more details other than saying I have a secret project I'm working on. I often would give details about my projects but after multiple failures in the past, I have chosen not to. So nothing will be said until I have it almost completed... And I JUST started it, so... It will have to wait.

2:43pm, Currently working on looking for more themes for my gallery and game site. I'm also checking on how to change colors as we speak, since they seem incredibly clashing, the main site from this one goes from cool colors to bright and warm colors randomly, and that's not nice to look at. Similarly, I also did some homework, which it isn't irrelevant if we keep in mind that uni has me busy. Work has also taken a lot of time from me, but I'm managing to do this bread easily. Similarly, I learned how to clip the background off my traditional art.
