Good afternoon, Fridaynauts. I hope your new year is going well. A really busy week, but I will still always write the Friday Rambles for you, my dear patron of the arts.
Good afternoon, Fridaynauts. It was the first full work week of the new year. Keeping busy, I hope. In a good way, of course.

My new Hobonichi Techo has been getting a lot of use, both because I had many things to do and because I'm feeling kinda creative. At the end of the day I doodle a smal...
Happy New Year, Fridaynauts!! It's a fresh start. Everything is A-OK now. And I'm on time, too! So far so good.

In between the last Ramble and this one, a lot of game websites and individual people published their GOTY lists online, and I was delighted to see that Endless Monday: Dreams a...
Good afternoon, Fridaynauts. Hope you are having a good holiday season.
It's not Friday! It's actually, Monday, December 29, 2025. This is the last Friday Ramble of the year, on this last Monday of the year, and we're going out with a delayed bang.
Good afternoon, Fridaynauts. It is the penultimate Friday Ramble of 2025.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the years. And thank you to the new patrons as well! Love you all. Hope you stick around for another year >:)

Good evening, Fridaynauts. It is the second Friday Ramble of the last month of 2025. Welcome to new people, and thank you to the oldheads.

There were a lot of real life interruptions and obligations this week that kept me from doing as much work on Game 2 as I would have liked, but game dev is slo...
Good evening, Fridaynauts. It's the first Friday Ramble of the last month of 2025. As autumn wanes, and winter begins its silent arrival, I get yet another cold. Not as bad this time around, though. Stay healthy, everyone.
Starting to get busy with holiday stuff, and work life balance is tipping over to the life part. N...
It's the last Friday Rambles of November, and it's on a Saturday, for once.

It was the Thanksgiving holiday this week. I just got home from being busy with people, places, and things. I'm full of turkey and cranberries. And I'm thankful for you, the patron of the arts.
It's the third Friday Ramble of November. Let's go.
Cool New Bag Stuff
I have recovered from my seasonal upper respiratory infection, and was able to take my cool new bag outside for a walk. I walk to the post office whenever I have orders to ship, and it's been nice having a cool new bag for carrying them. ...
It's another Friday Ramble. Happy Friday. This was not a productive week.

It's the first Friday of November. Spooky season is over, and now it's Christmas season. It's not too early to put up a tree yet, I guess. I'm the type to put one up in late December and then keep it there until, like, March, though.

I got some real gamedev done this week. A cool new ...
Okay, I'm finally back home and I'm two rambles behind. I'm just going to catch up with a single post instead of sending out a bunch of emails for no reason. Sorry. If you're still here, please know that I love and appreciate you.

Quite possibly the latest Friday Ramble ever, considering we've already passed another Friday after this one, but I'll be darned if I don't keep my commitment to rambling every Friday. So, it's the Wednesday, October 8 Friday Ramble for Friday, September 26.
It's the Thursday Friday Rambles for 2025/09/19. Okay, I was super busy with things, but please pretend I posted this on Monday instead. You know, like 3 days late instead of 6 days late.
A lot of stuff went on this week too, so the Ramble continued to get delayed, but that's for tomorrow's Friday Ramble.
Mostly busy with family things this week, but I found time to do some work. I approved the final version of a merch thing. It rules. I can't wait for it to be released into the world.
This week contained a Cirno Day! That's right, I partook in a li...
It's the first Saturday Friday Ramble of September. I'm traveling, so I don't really have a lot of game dev stuff going on... I'm gonna try to make up for it by having some exclusive content or whatever.
It's the Monday August 25, 2025 Friday Ramble for August 22, 2025.

I'm traveling, it's half for work and half for family stuff. I'm mostly settled in now at my destination, but it was a hectic few days. It's very hot here. It was also hot where I was, but it feels like another level here with t...
It's the third Friday Ramble of August. Wow! Time flies when you're not doing anything at all.

Over the weekend I watched a VOD of Dreams and Deadlines and the game crashed once in a specific situation and I was like, I gotta fix that. Luckily I was able to reproduce it (the game crashed when ...
Ticket purchases opened up for Tokyo Game Show, so I applied for a Business Days pass. I was a bit worried that I might not get a ticket due to IDK not being a real Game Business or whatever (even though I actually am) but anyway... I was allowed to buy a ticket without any...
It's the Friday Ramble. Augh! It's August! Aughust.

I set a hard deadline for myself for releasing a Steam page and trailer for Game 2. While I'm confident I'll meet it, I won't be announcing it here quite yet, because it turns out I'm not actually that confident after all.
Say it ain't so! It's the last Friday Ramble of July 2025?

I'll be honest, I've been going through a bit of a creative block, but I think I've finally made a bit of a breakthrough. I thought of the premise I want to explore for Game 2, and started writing the different storylines that'll be happen...
Hello. It is the last Friday of June 2025, and thus the last Friday Ramble of June 2025. The year is now officially 50% over! You know what that means! That's right. Performance review time.
