Dev log #5 – No Time to Think of a Title for this
There are only around 36 hours left in this jam, so I am going to try to keep this relatively brief. I immediately replaced the UI header font after Stella’s stream on Friday. I think I knew in my h.....

Since August I've been keeping notes and ideas for the game in the same notebook, with the same black pen and today it actually ran out of ink. R.I.P. Buddy. Here since the beggining, almost made it to the end. #spooktober #spooktoberjam

The true horror of my #Spooktober game is that somewhere along the way Leanna became someone who does puns, and now I have to look up egg puns. #vndev #gamedev #spooktoberjam

Finally set up UI SFX in the game! It's the exact same sfx for literally everything because I decided it would be easier to do all the implementation first and then focus then just plugging audio picks into my separate audio variables folder and I was absolutely right! #spooktober #gamedev #vndev

Stole a floating animation from that O2OA2 game I never finished and I do feel it adds an extra something to Puppet's sprites. #gamedev #renpy #sprites #wip #spooktoberjam #spooktober

I love when people playtest my game. I spent so much time debugging an early exit ending at the very start of my game, only to have my two main playtesters, who are easily enamored by pretty women, immediately accept the deal at the start, totally skipping the additional flavor text. #spooktober

I actually made custom brushes for Leanna’s flowers and thorns so they get put on during the inking process. The lace pattern she wears is also a custom made pattern. #wip #sprite #spooktober #spooktoberjam

Sharing this #WIP with the refrences so you all properly understand the exact level of insufferable I am trying to aim for with Leanna. (Also Constance really has an amazing art) #Spooktober #SpooktoberJam #spriteart

For the record one of a couple reasons I asked @ayperosia.bsky.social to modify their dark fantasy GUI was because I was worried the red would clash with the red of the curtains in game and now that I am actually making said curtains I went “actually teal looks awesome!” #spooktoberjam #spooktober

Now that Orchel has a proper character intro I would like to add a new addition to “Hoyo could never”: They introduced Dr.Ratio as a man who hides his face in a plasterhead and then procceded to never commit to it in the slightest. It was only ever in like 3% of his scenes! #fortunesweave #fe

My one crack theory is that Anatolia is Tialla from the future. The way the direct was edited makes them seem like they have a connection and Ana's naming convention and weapon lines up more with Troy's faction in the future. #fortunesweave #fireemblem #fe

I have an idea for Spooktober Jam. Needs work though. #spooktoberjam #conceptart
A woman and a girl illuminated by a stage spotlight. The woman does not look to be human. She wears a red dress adorned by purple flowers and she holds a fan in front of her face. The girl has rough brown hair with leaves sticking out of them. She wears a dark cloak and her eyes, mouth, and hands are not attached to her, instead slapped on like post its.

Leda's dad is dead. Theodora's dad is dead. Cai's dad will probably die. IS can do the funniest thing by revealing that Dietrich of all characters is the one with a healthy and supportive relationship with their still living dad. #fireemblem #fortunesweave
