iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

In case there's delays from the OG date (had a series of hackings that made development difficult), I'll be sure to notify here, since admittedly, the game was pushed out late for Steam's review process. Lots to learn for future projects, but it's a been a fun ride with everyone!

I really love adding blinking animations to CGs. It's one of my favorite traits in PC-98 games specifically. #gamedev #ifyoustay #pc98 #ドット絵

Testing out @komm64.com new pixtube with "if you stay" to see if I can achieve that golden PC-98 CRT look. It's super neat and the colors look fantastic. Unfortunately, it couldn't handle text in my case, but that's on me for using screenshots from RenPy.

Another banger this morning to go on the demo review page, @yukimisoft.moe 's "if you stay" is a painful and beautiful yuri romance visual novel in the PC-98 style that I think so many people should read. This being almost entirely solo is beyond impressive. Can't wait to review the full game, too!

Just finished the demo of If You Stay by @yukimisoft.moe and I got to say it hooked me. I need to play more and can't wait for when it comes out. Love the PC-98 style and I can tell that the story will rip me apart.

Another comparison! But this time between the OG game jam version made in 2023 (left) vs my current progress on the game (right). It's wild to see the amount of changes in my skills that happened over the last 2-3 years. #IndieGameDev #if_you_stay #ゲーム開発中

#pc98 visual novels and dating sims from élf and Cocktail Soft are HUGE inspirations for my games. There's a magic quality to games from this era that's a joy to learn and be inspired from. Games: Kakyuusei, Doki Doki Vacation, Can Can Bunny Extra, Can Can Bunny Limited 5 1/2

It's currently at the 50-60% stage of being completed. Mostly finalizing some assets and moving towards sound and music afterwards.
