Me: I want this game to be finished
Also me: let's just rewrite all of Valdas' route

The public transit in this country is really so disappointing in so many places.

In part due to transportation logistics, I ended up not going to a friend's wedding in MN because I just couldn't make the combination of flights, car rental & looooong drive pan out and there weren't other options 😣

It would be truly unhinged if I made the entire game in comic sans, wouldn't it

@rottenraccoons.bsky.social has once again done an excellent job with Francesco's new chapter 💜

(Seriously, what an inspiration of a game)

I made myself snort-laugh reading some of my own dialogue so either I'm actually funny or just very self-indulgent

maybe both

Text conversation screenshot reads: "It is mildly terrifying to think that a bunch of my friends are about to find out how I write romance 😂" "Oh yeah. Putting yourself out there is horrifying."

The song tracks are in for mastering! 🎉🎼🔥

(today i learned what mastering was; the process of making this game has been such a cool learning experience)

I cannot stress how badass the music is coming along so far for this, and also how thankful I am for having incredibly talented and amazing people in my life, because I was so close to putting out a VN that was just completely awkwardly silent 😂

Right?? I might get the ingredients next time I go shopping 🤣 (I mean, it's basically just string cheese and cheetos, egg, flour...)

So I have this recipe for Hot Cheeto Mozzarella Sticks pinned to Valdas' Pinterest mood board and I feel like I should actually make them sometime soon

In the picture, they are the sort of neon red that screams "don't eat this" which absolutely means Valdas would like to eat this

Friend at MAGfest, in regards to this project:
"I trust you to tell me who is fuckable in a game"

😌

ok so i spent most of magfest in the concert hall and gave out basically no business cards but i had an incredible time!

time to die a little bit and then it's all final push to get this game done and out!

If they tour near you and you're into games and speedruns, go. It's a unique show mixing music & gaming, a total blast, and they are wonderful human beans

This band is called Bit Brigade, they are a ton of fun to see, super talented, and amazing people. They rocked the fuck out last night.

Oh, and the bass player is doing the music for Unhinged 😎

Find me at Magfest, receive cookies (and an Unhinged business card)

i cannot stress Valdas' stance on corndogs enough

Soooo from Thursday 1/8 to Sunday 1/11, I'll be at the MAGfest music & gaming convention in National Harbor, MD!

I won't be presenting the game or anything, no booth for me this year, but I'll have cards on me and am happy to say hi to anyone and everyone! (Also I'll have a million cookies)

Meet the Unhinged! Four charming, in no way problematic men that YOU can fall in love with 😇

Last year I got hired by @ringedwater.bsky.social to work on the character sprites for this game and now it finally has a page! ringedwater.itch.io
