I just barely even got that finished up in time. Well... as finished as it's gonna get for now. I ran out of time to do all the custom art and music I planned to but what can ya do? Haha. Almost didn't even get to finish it thanks to my power going out and losing an hour of work right at the end, too.

Best of luck, everyone!

Influence is officially live and published!

Hopefully correctly!!

I'm gonna go stare at the ocean in Animal Crossing until my face unfreezes from the look of sheer terror stuck to it right now!

Thought I'd drop some progress. I'm making a horror-themed Visual Novel this year so I spent most of yesterday writing up a script and painting some stand-in background art on stream!

I'm planning to do more coding and art on tonight's stream (which you can find here! I usually start streaming about 10pm PST): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzTI9gbQBcFY1us_sqRIoKw

Liking how it's going so far! I usually do an RPGMaker game for Ludum Dare so this is a bit of a new wheelhouse for me!

Year 4 for me and I'm rearin' and ready to go!

Still flyin' solo on the Jam and gonna be streaming as much of the process as my internet let's me! Don't know which program I'll be using yet this year, it'll depend on what the theme is and what I come up with for it but here's a general rundown of what I have used/plan to use:

Tools of the Trade: - Clip Studio Paint Pro for custom art/animations - Ren'py Possible Game Engine 1 - RPGMaker Ace Possible Game Engine 2 - Twine Possible Game Engine 3 (that I always forget about whoops) - Unity Possbile (but very unlikely) Game Engine 4 (I still have minimal experience with Unity outside of vrm edits) - Music? who knows

I'll be streaming over Twitch HERE

LET'S GOOOOO!!!!!

It's finally done!

I think this is the earliest I've ever finished! Here's hoping it all works this year!

Good luck to everyone out there!
