August Update

I lied again... one more blog to take us into Autumn.

Blaugust

I said before, but I completely joined this on a whim, and I'm very happy I did.

I saw a post about Small Web September, if you've been looking to get started or a reason to get back into webdev give it a go!

College

I did a college course on basic python coding. I did pass this month and I'm proud of myself for keeping up with the work and doing something different. But it's not for me at all lol! I learnt that computers are really dumb, and all they wanna do is loop forever until they crash...

Noah's Ark

Keep in Box is the 8pg comic I made for Noah's Ark.

I had another idea completely (the one I was going to use for Toxic Yuri Jam, but life happened...) but the idea got too big. It might make a better VN or longer comic... (thinking)

I knew I wanted to tell a sort of horror with BJDs. I like NTR and feeling bad, so look forward to when it releases on the 2/09/2025. I'm planning to do a small print run. The manu I used for second shift only goes glossy paper... I'd love an option like manga has... o)-( Thanks again everyone who bought second shift, money's been fairly tight o)-( I'm sure it has been for you too, let's hope it gets better!!

Linux

A lot of the blog posts I made this month were centered around switching to Linux Mint as my main OS. I did it for several reasons:

• I should completely own the software and hardware I bought. It is not obsolete.
• I do not support Microsoft and I have to put my money where my mouth is.
• I do not support or want products (ai) that I have not paid for nor want. I want more control over the electronics I use.
• If other people can do it, why can't I?

Gamedev

I'M FINISHING TROPHIES IF IT KILLS MEEEEE!!

I'm not one for longterm projects like this... Once I get an idea, it should be as good as done in the quickest possible timespan. Buttttttt I'm trying to stop thinking in that mindset! Just because I can make something in a month, doesn't mean I should... That's what keeps getting me into trouble!

(chanting) enjoy the process enjoy the process...!

Moving Hosts

I left neocities this month as well. I joined nearly free speech and I've enjoyed the process so far. I started using FileZilla to upload my files instead of dragging and dropping them onto neocities... it's so easy!! huh!! was this what everyone else was doing?!

Yuri Webring

THANK YOU ALL FOR WAITING...!

For now, I'm leaving it up on neocities. It has the "social media" aspect for keeping up with updates... And I'm not 100% sure about domain stuff rn o)-( I'll have to some more research. Honestly it might not be until the new year I have time to fully invest in transferring it over.

It should be okay, I don't think neocities updated rules (whenever they come into play) will have issue with linking to storefronts...

It really is such a mess. I made it so these games wouldn't get buried on itchio.... orz but I want to have a space for all these devs... The work you've put in shouldn't go unnoticed!! Thank you for being patience with me, and let's keep making art... despite EVERYTHING...!!

What's next?

I'm def giving myself a break from webdev for a bit! August wore me out!!! There was too much going on o)-( I wanna focus on my own art for the remainder of 2025.

I didn't expect another comic so soon after Second Shift... I'd been feeling so stuck with progress on Trophies that I needed to make something, anything that I had a completely free space to play and not be stuck with some decision I'd made int he past... I'm usually so good at killing my darlings, but once in a while it gets to us.

I'm DYING to get back into plush making. I have so many nuis prepped but haven't had the time to sit down and get stuck in. I'm planning a Tsubasa, a Yugamu and then Chelsea (OC from Second Shift)! Then I gotta make more doll clothes!!!

I know i just said about no more webdev but I really wanna add a darkmode to my site that I've planned and not done sorta lastmin like on my posting page... i hateeeee it. Maybe it can be something I do bit-by-bit...

AND I STILL WANNA RUN A PICTSQUARE EVENT...!!! MY YAOIS!!

Argh, not enough time!!!!
