Hello everyone, happy February! 

After how hectic December was, January was a welcome break! I worked a bit across a number of the projects that I have slated for spring, and I got back into writing again; I wrote 26,160 words this month!

The Deepwater Witch (Feb 2024)

I finished a few of the CGs, and most of the remaining CGs have also been sketched.

I also set up the The Deepwater Witch Steam page, if you want to check it out! (I probably won't release it there fully until Next Fest in June, though.)

Karamu Trilogy

I finished the Kanau script and had it beta-read and revised. I also prepped all of the files for VAs and set up a casting call. I also worked on the character designs and did some promo art! 

I also set up the Karamu Steam page, if you're interested... (I'm planning on a simultaneous release on Steam with the release of Hanasu sometime during the summer.) 

MINDMINDMIND (Nano 2024)

I worked on the designs for the love interests, Geist and Kalei, and I also fleshed out the outline a LOT. It's looking to be a meaty one. Hopefully I manage to get most of the scripting done in the first couple weeks of Nano. 

What am I planning for February?

Currently, I'm shooting for a February 29th release for The Deepwater Witch (Tala's birthday)! (I was originally planning for a late January release, but I needed a bit of a longer break...) Since only CGs remain, I think I should be able to get it done. 

However, I might push it back if needed since I'm also developing Kanau in the same time frame, aiming for a March 9th release (Kanau will be released for YanJam, which ends on March 16th). Thank you to everyone who's patient with my nebulous release dates! (As a solo dev it is really hard to plan these things concretely...)

Once March rolls around I will be full speed ahead into the production of MINDMINDMIND for NanoRenO, which is a jam that challenges people to make a VN in a month! It's a short turnaround, so I'll be doing as much pre-production as I can before then.

Thank you to everyone for reading, and I'll see you next month! 

If you want to hear from me more often, I post most of my major announcements on Tumblr and Twitter. I also post frequently on my Patreon with sketches, writing snippets, sneak peeks, high resolution art, and weekly devlogs.
