idea: game where everyone is a ghost

i'm in update hell right now (just pushed an update for a letter of challenge yesterday which has a text fix & updates it to renpy 7.4, giving it support for 64bit windows) while also doing unity tutorials but in between i've been thinking about a game where everyone is a ghost.

here are some very very rough sketch ...

icon ideas

i spend far too much time on adjusting stuff when making icons...

not sure which i like better or if i want to combine parts of both or change the colour of the text or whatever but here is a quick look at two icon ideas i'm deciding between!

the one with the text on the bottom feels kind of like an instant camera...

what i'm working on this may!

hello it's may now! i have the first bit off for golden week so i'm going to spend it doing a lot of small things.

• teaching myself some more unity - last month i was messing around with topdown engine (see screenshot using graphics from lilac & her light) but i'm going to play around with adventure creator thi...

april: a slow month...

hi all! this is what i'm planning on doing this month.

since march ended up much busier than i expected (released 3 separate small projects) i didn't end up getting to do the naninovel stuff that i wanted to do... so that's what i'm going to force myself to focus on this month!

• learn naninovel! test out with...

the zine is coming together so i thought i'd show some wips of it 👀
