The musician was really nice I talked with him at MGScon (I wouldve gone to the second one but I had to go to anime expo that day, and couldn't go to this year's because the American economy is busy shifting to maoism or something idk)

evergreen's salad ending is now fully complete and functional in-game, including finalised assets. this is extremely stupid and i can't stop giggling to myself like an idiot every time i think about it, so it's a good thing i live alone

realistically speaking, i intend to at the very least get to the point where everything is done or at least presentable up to the first ending credits; a state which i am more or less at awaiting playtester feedback on the boss and finalisation of assets in the credits, but... it's not even june yet and i plan to release this demo for august's modgala, so i may be able to work on the secret boss and its associated joke ending...????? the pace at which i work is incredibly inconsistent and typically involves a mad scramble to get as much stuff done as possible before my brain loses interest and i don't know if my medication will help with that, so i don't want to promise anything (and on top of that i have schoolwork to prioritise) - i would rather focus on polishing existing content and ensuring its quality before i even think about touching anything new

i also have a bunch of other projects that i should work on getting off my backlog, mostly involving computer repair... i have a laptop i'm fixing up for my cousin's christmas present that i need to order parts for and then test to see if it can pass the necessary qualifications of 'can it run minecraft', another laptop for myself that i also need to order parts for, an old PC i need to get a HDD and discs to make a Legitimate WinXP Installation (Real) for... actually those all stalled because i need to buy most of the required parts online and i baulked at the shipping costs so maybe i need to get 10 billion dollars first and/or just promote my art commissions a bunch. hey if someone wants to buy me two DATO M.2 2230 PCIe SSD 512GB, PCIe Gen 3x4 NVMe 1.3 Internal Solid State Drives Gen3, M Key, Single Sided, up to 2500/1700 MB/s - DP330 Series i can draw a funny image in return

bug me nonstop to play it once its done ( I am unmedicated for my adhd because Kaiser is evil )
semi-related to modding i now know why my dad (who has been wfh for a couple years now) complains so much about cold weather, this shit hits different when you're sitting at a desk for an extended period of time. does not help that my apartment gets zero natural light and if it's already this cold and we're only in may... i need a big fluffy dog to lie on my feet or something...

ahhh i really wish i was in the position to get a dog but my apartment is strictly no pets (and is way too small anyway). i also do not think your average dog could make it safely up or down the extremely dubious stairs to my bedroom (where my desk is) and i don't particularly know how to warn a dog (dawg?) about stairs, bro

btw this is daisy, my former portable hot water bottle, but unfortunately she cannot currently perform her duties as she lives in my parents' house, which is located in an entirely different state and also landmass and i don't think either of us can swim the length of the tasman ocean

You can always carry try and carry the dog, just like use your legs for leverage and pull them over ur shoulder and cradle her like a baby.
Also if you can afford it I'd recommend you get a sun lamp for areas with little to no natural light, it helps with your circadian rhythm a lot and generally is designed to be a lot more "close to what the sun's spectrum of light" is supposed to be (even if it's generally not 1:1, some of these are INSANELY convincing)

I got a new dog recently, he showed up out of nowhere (Like he just straight up came to the back gate and started begging for attention so we took him in) and he's been very happy to sleep under the covers and meet all the new animals.

i have thought about a sun lamp, but i've only been here since july last year (middle of winter) so i'll see if it's needed... i have to go outside and touch grass on the regular, anyway (school, groceries etc), so it's not like i never get any sun

also that sounds like the best way to get a dog LOL, surprise gift from the universe
evergreen update... i think the first ending's final boss is, more or less, functionally complete both graphically and mechanically - i need to finish a transition cutscene between the first and second phase, as well as set up skipflags yadda yadda... there's some minor things i can do for the second phase in particular (and a bug i still need to get help with squashing in the first phase, but it's not game-breaking), but at this point i think i will switch my priority to the cutscenes and skipflags as well as tidying up the script and map, at least as the priority for today

later in the week, i plan to release a private demo in my personal discord server to get playtester feedback on this boss, which i hope will allow me to polish it even further - i also still need to finish the credits, they're essentially done but barebones/still have placeholder assets art-wise and there's no music yet... i still plan to wait until august/modgala for the public release, so they don't have to be a priority at this point since they give the necessary, well, credits

anyway, once this boss is polished to a satisfactory level... i guess i'll go about implementing the second joke ending, and depending on how much time/motivation i have after that, i'll start working on the secret boss (and third joke ending), since regardless of its completion level, i can very easily lock access if i feel it is not ready in time, so it's low priority...

good lord it's weird to think that i'm going to actually finish this mod
"The wind blowing past me, as I dare not look back to the cursed island.
I try to feel comfortable on the rough skin below me as I fly away with him.
I feel the moon's light on me making me think of those left behind.
My friends, My family.
I push the thoughts away as we continue to fly away.
I stare at the clouds rushing past below us.
As we both fly to a new future away from those I abandoned." -Anonymous


I don't know who wrote this and I couldn't find the author anywhere, pretty cool writing I guess. I also don't even know if it's actually based on Cave Story!
I have a little something I hopefully will post to the Fanart thread this weekend if i finish it in time. Be prepared.

"be prepared" and it's the most un-preparable-for thing youve ever had the wonderful fortune of laying your eyes on
the greens are evering away! i spent today working on a background graphic (see spoiler tag below) as well as making and implementing a teleport animation for the boss, which was easier said than done :']
regarding the boss, i have one attack phase to finish spriting, and then i need to give all the phases a final go-over and visual polish... after that comes the tricky task of making the HP bar work and then ensuring the transition into the second phase is still functional... and then expanding on and polishing it as well...

once i get the boss into a playable state start to finish, i will probably seek playtester feedback as the next priority i learned my lesson from festive quest LOL and then after that i have some stuff to fix up in the credits - i'm hoping for a public release of the next demo in august for modgala! it's a ways away, but knowing my tendency to procrastinate, i'm hoping it will give me plenty of time to ensure everything is good and ready to go :]

when modding the game takes longer than developing it :greydroll: good on you for toughing it out tho

it's definitely not been a non-stop development cycle - i released the first incarnation for a 2020 modfest (which i consider a seperate or like, 'alpha' version i guess), and then... 'reboooted' it more or less in 2021 as something intended to be a long-form mod, which i have since been developing on and off in short bursts of frenzied work (typically spurred by upcoming modding events) followed by months of no progress... i'm hoping that i can work on it more consistently now that i'm making active progress in wrangling my brain, ahaha

The correct spelling would be "Disappearance".
