Final Monthly Update - Except it's not the end, don't worry.

Hey. Technically, I've done things over the course of may. Not many things, but some, for sure.

I started work on the actual game, and I've done pretty much the entire intro to the game, although not the first area. That was at the beginning of the month. I spent most of may doing nothing tangible. Just thinking about things and myself. 

I will say, if you think "thinking about things and myself" counts under "waste of time", unequivocally, you ought to fuck off from here, and never return. I don't want people like you to ever come near me.

Fun fact, I actually had a first draft for this post, in which I went on like a 1000 word tirade about what I just said there in the last paragraph, but way more violent and very long-winded. But it goes to show how passionate I am about that subject. I will not tolerate people who believe that personal growth is a waste of time.

I definitely did not spend my time wisely however, and I used up many potential work hours on vapid shit like going on YouTube for 12 hours, or scrolling through Twitter, or mas-- you get the idea. I will say, I did spend a lot of time pondering about the game, and about questions related to myself, and my friend groups. I think that time was well-spent, because it got me to the point I am at now, where I'm confident enough to actually do the things I like doing, that require effort. 

...As for an update about the fuckin' game which isn't somewhat of a nothingburger, well, I've decided I'm gonna stop making these each month, and instead do them when I add features to the game, or just send some sneak peeks of stuff. Speaking of which...





Yeah, here's three sneak peeks. That's the title screen, the file select screen, and when you first gain control of the protagonist.

My biggest flex here is that there's only four assets here that I didn't draw myself. The fonts, of course, the spike on the file select screen (that's a default from the YoYoYo GMS2 engine), the BACKGROUND of the file select screen, and the bed there. The last one's there for comedic purposes, because who wouldn't find the fuckin' default Terraria bed not funny.

Anyway, yeah, apart from those, I drew everything myself. :3
If you can't tell, I'm incredibly proud. Even if some of these assets kinda suck.

That's about it, for now. I want to keep my cards close to my chest here.
