okay what the fuck there's no way my color matching is that good (I mean I did hit the exact saturation number once but that was luck) (the website is dialed.gg so you don't have to go in the chain of replies)

NIEZWYCIĘŻONA for #VeloxFabula3 devlog: - didn't do a whole lot because I couldn't access my laptop for a big part of the day - I think I'm approaching the end story-wise? like I don't see myself working on it for the full jam duration. also idc a lot, I wasn't meant to participate anyway lmao

NIEZWYCIĘŻONA for #VeloxFabula3 devlog - the city's still traumatized - my cat doesn't want me to write the traumatized city

screenshot showing a dithered picture of the glass roof of Złote Tarasy and Złota 44 skyscraper. the text says "I'm sorry. I'm scared that the past will repeat only because I want to have a future". words "I'm sorry" and "I want to have a future" are glitched out.

day 2 of working on my #VeloxFabula3 project, "NIEZWYCIĘŻONA". turns out that tackling the topics I wanted to tackle is actually quite emotionally taxing. at least this hard part is beyond me already? historical trauma passed down through generation's still got hands tho

day 1 of #VeloxFabula3 and work on "NIEZWYCIĘŻONA". notes: - need to charge an old phone and see if I have more pics of Warsaw there - apparently people vibe with the concept - Decker has color text now, LIFECHANGING - this city has SO MUCH TRAUMA it deals me psychic damage

the next Passerine Hills: Just a Bite update, The Lonely Week Update, will be the first to have in-game trigger warnings. you'll be able to read general warnings for the whole game, warnings for specific branches, and instructions on how to get on them so you can avoid them... or get on them

finally a prompt I can post for yay (bit from PHJAB's scene 11)

google docs screenshot. the text goes as follows:
Izzy: So, did you know this used to be a secret society room?
Tiffany: Really?
Izzy: Yeah. The Golden Bow. They were... it was this super exclusive club, almost entirely Lyrebird. They had to disband because they literally killed a Sparrow girl- sidenote, that's where that stupid "Lyrebird-Sparrow relationships are cursed" thing comes from-
Tiffany, in her internal monologue: A shiver goes down my spine. Literal murder. Here. Here in this place where I'm sitting. Maybe even exactly here. And they talk about it like they're telling me about the weather.

it is currently being reorganized and I know I can just use the outline feature (as presented here) but it's more psychological pain than anything. if there's One Long Document, it feels intimidating. if it's Several Documents, it's tedious. Google Docs tabs bridged that gap

in this whole thing the funniest one is that ever since the scandal, I started getting best download numbers in a LONG while. Alexa play Barbra Streissand by Duck Sauce

If you see this I implore you to post a picture from your device without comment

I see the "Edmund from Narnia selling his family for Turkish Delight" discourse again and I need to speak up because it always pisses me off. "he was stupid because Turkish Delight is mid", "ackshually, sugar rationing-" it was popular back then. oh, and also, IT WAS ENCHANT DRUGGED????

text from "The Lion, The Witch, And The Old Wardrobe": "At last the Turkish Delight was all finished and Edmund was looking very hard at the empty box and wishing that she would ask him whether he would like some more. Probably the Queen knew quite well what he was thinking; for she knew, though Edmund did not, that this was enchanted Turkish Delight and that anyone who once tasted it would want more and more of it, and would even, if they were allowed, go on eating it till they killed themselves."

currently preparing for the next Just a Bite MASSIVE update. it still won't be the full game but y'know. I feel the need to do something. spoiler alert: Tiffany can never catch a fucking break

I figured out how to change default Decker color palette. we are so back (I mean, we never left)

screen from Decker. a person, represented by a dark silhouette, stands in front of a yellow field, their hair flowing in the wind. the sky is blue with a couple of clouds. the text says "I cannot go where the rapeseed grows. I can only stand and stare"; the button underneath says "Stare"

The Court of Bell and Pepper is slowly taking shape. slowly.

screenshot of the first page of The Court of Bell and Pepper that says:

My name is Tagliatella Rigatoni.

I am the heiress of the Genovian throne, as I come from Alexandria's Genesis. My mother, Queen Mespyrian, was murdered in cold blood by tyrants, whom I now need to kill and murder in order to avenge her and free my people. I have unique vividly purple eyes which are the color of amethyst at midnight when one of our two moons is in waxing croissant and another is in waning gibbons, and those eyes are the reason why I'm so plain and unseen and hated.

But I managed to find love, and what a cruel love it is. My heart is now ever torn between Aeddgeloard Darkn'brood, the fae prince of The Court of Mac and Cheese, and Sdfalor, the demon who used to be a fae prince also but for The Court of Fish and Frogs, and due to a curse, he became a demon, but my mother promised me to him as a wife. But alas, woe is me and me only, as the power of Maccanchees, the most powerful of spellmakers, bound me and Aeddgeloard together. Still, Genovia needs me, and Sdfalor leads the great rebellion, which I must now take against the Genovian tyrants, who killed my mother, who was Queen Mespyrian, the most beautiful of them all.

"...the lakes..." miniupdate: I'm getting wildly anxious over this for no fucking reason so I'm taking a break and sharing some screenshots with you

monochromatic illustration. someone is standing on the edge of a lake at night. their face is obscured by an animated scribble. text on the left side explains that it's Lake Dioscuri on April 26th, 20XX (as in, the year remains unspecified), and that there's nobody but you and crickets
