sometimes someone will comment on briarheart's page on itch and honestly it makes me so happy. im glad people are still finding it and enjoying the (very) little of it that's out there. i really want to go back to working on it, some day.

#life is just too much rn #i dont think ive talked about it much here but i was laid off in august 2023. then again last month. #i found a job quickly tho i was very lucky #just had my first week at said new job #planning on getting my hobbies and project back on track once im more settled #which includes briarheart my regular novel (fantasy romance wip) and drawing #but you know #gotta get settled a bit first #ren.txt

i know i just reblogged a post about this but yall should really check out slay the princess and scarlet hollow

they are probably my favorite vn games rn (and slay the princess only has a demo out!). they are super fun, super well written and the art is amazing

i'm a scaredy cat for horror games but they are just the right kind of horror where it's so interesting i forget my fear for a while lol super recommended!!

#ren.txt #i love these games you dont understand

[wilderlingdev]

NEW TRAILER AND RELEASE DATE ANNOUNCEMENT!!

I animated this myself :3 :3 I've never done anything but short looping animations, and definitely nothing that had to be synced to voice. It was such a challenge! Especially since I also have to make all the art for the rest of the game, too, so I had a limited amount of time to spend on this XD

And yes, like the rest of the game, everything but the color was done with pencil on paper :>

WISHLIST SLAY THE PRINCESS AND BE NOTIFIED AS SOON AS IT LAUNCHES ON OCTOBER 20TH

#whooooo!!! #other peoples games

forever, interrupted by wilderlingdev

A Single Choice Jam entry.

Entry - IFDB - More by wilderlingdev - @wilderlingdev CW: some memory loss and mind invasion Note: this is a companion piece to forever, an echo (my NTJ review).

An unwinnable fight, but you won't give up. This entry is a companion piece to "forever, an echo", a short game submitted to the Neo Twiny Jam, a sort of opposite point-of-view to the original piece. It is an endless fight, an unwinnable fight, one your enemy will always come out victorious. But, you never despair. No matter the version of yourself, no matter your weakened state, you will continue to fight. You will always come back, ready to fight. Unlike the doomed perspective of the other game, this one screams resistance, and hope. You may not win now, but one day you might. You will never surrender yourself, your soul, your everything to your enemy. A good opposite to the other piece.

I found the formatting of the text sometimes hard to read with the lack of paragraph breaks and the centering of the text. A bit more breathing room between the lines will help a ton.

#thank you!!!! #i will try to fix the design asap!! #forever interrupted

you know, i spent years mocking the idea that characters would slip into their native tongue in the middle of speaking in english, but as someone whose native tongue isn't english that is currently practicing their spoken english for a job interview (went through a layoff the beginning of this month D:) i find myself doing exactly that? and you know what's worse???

i dont notice it!!!! i will go english english english random portuguese word english english aND NOT NOTICE IT.

so. authors i frowned upon for using this trope all these years... im sorry.

#im practicing with my cousin and hes like 'you just said a portuguese word there' and im like wHERE???? #and turns out i DID #ren.txt

it is your nature to persist as it is theirs to kill.

a slightly longer, IF version of my entry for the o2a2 game jam, now for the single choice game jam.

you can play it here.

again: companion game to my neo twiny jam entry, forever, an echo, which you can also play here. you can play them in any order, i think. time shenanigans make them prequels and sequels of each other, kind of?

remember that i had to butcher my writing to fit into the under-1000 rule of o2a2 jam? this is the non-butchered version. i still want to work on a longer game for this story/universe. but idk how that will go, so here it is, the overly-written version of the same story.

hope you guys enjoy it!!

[wilderlingdev]

for IF games, do people prefer several different dialogue options that aren't functionally different other than tone/flavor, or a only a few options with greater differences in outcome?

#both for me #but as in flavor choices to set character (supposing here that the game will remember said flavor choices as part of the mcs personality) #and then variations of few major choices after character is more set #if that makes sense? #tho thats a looot of work

[wilderlingdev]

ngl, playing baldurs gate is making me want to go back to working on briarheart so bad ;-;

#ren.txt

[wilderlingdev]

#thinking about leaning on the loop of this universe a bit more #think the remainder or slay the princess (kind of) #ren.txt
