Hello!

Finally, I managed to get to a point with the writing where I can go and focus on the visuals and gameplay, so that's what I've been doing. I'll give specific stats later, but, after hitting the 75% mark with the writing, I started on animations. I finished posing eight of them and the last one is going to finish rendering tonight. Apart from that, I've also set up a few static ren...

I was working on a scene and I really liked this shot, but it didn't really fit anywhere, so here it is.

Hello!

I'm back! It's been a bit more than a month since I quit my day job and I've started feeling the effects of this. I'm way less stressed, my brain functions seem to have returned, and, importantly, I'm working on Zero End at a healthy rate. Since last time, I've worked mostly on writing because I wanted to hit the 75% mark, after which will come the release finale. This finale, spec...

Hello!

I'm back with some news. It's now been three weeks of going full time on the project (while still learning and applying to jobs on the side) and I feel it's going really well. I'm feeling a lot better myself, for one. That's definitely a thing I'm happy about. It's been going really well on the project too, though, so let's get to it.

I figured I'd give some numbers periodica...

Hello!

I'm back with an update, but I'm not sure how coherent it'll be since I've been writing all day today. I don't have a lot to update, but there's been progress made, so let's go through it. I've wanted to focus on writing and I did, so now I'm quite a bit ahead with the writing, meaning I can go back to a balanced approach. Which I would, but I got very caught up in the last scenes ...

Hello!

I have returned with news. It's not a whole lot of stuff, but there's some stuff I wanna talk about. It probably won't turn into a 500 word essay, but I've been writing today and I'm still in the flow, so who knows.

Since I already mentioned that, I got some writing done today. It wasn't really necessary until now as I was quite ahead, but I've finally caught up and I'm about...

Hello and Happy New Year!

It's been a bit, hope everyone's doing well! The winter holidays are done and gone, the rest is at an end and I've started work on the game. Well, I started about a week ago, but I wanted to wait with the update so I can deliver some news after it's been confirmed. I've mentioned working a day job and working on Zero End at the same time has been very difficult f...

I wanted to feature Keira for the preview, but then I remembered how much more popular Lily is, so here's both.

Hello!

It's been some time and I feel like I've had the best couple of weeks in quite some time. Getting some rest and my mind off things has been very helpful.

Since the last update, I've managed a lot of what I intended to do. I'm again quite a bit ahead with the writing, enough that I'm not worried about it anymore. I was inspired to write a significant part of this chapter's spe...

Dev Log --I'm back--

Hello!

It's been a while, but I'm finally back. After what feels like forever, I've allowed myself some time off to relax and clear my head. It was a very good thing and I feel much better now--I've been more productive and I feel like what I'm producing now is of better quality.

More than that, though, I think I realized just how stressed and miserable I was. I'm sure you've notice...

Hello!

Before I start with the update, I wanna let everyone know that I'll be on vacation for the next two weeks and I wanna completely disconnect, so I'll probably be back with an update in 3-4 weeks. The reason I need to disconnect completely is because I'm just not doing great overall and I feel like I need this.

It's been about two years since the first release of Zero End, and ...

"We keep looking back, trying to figure out why we are the way we are, why we are in the situation we're in, and it just seems to make no sense. But it's not one pivotal moment, not a single massive decision that led us here--it's a million small, seemingly insignificant choices. We are exactly where we chose to be, over and over, day after day. "

Hello!

And we're back with another update. Things have been going well overall. There's steady progress with both the writing and images. I managed to fix some issues with the navigation, changed the minimap(it used to be that you could navigate through clicking on rooms there, but that just made the navigation system pointless, so now it only highlights to show the room you're currently ...

Hello!

I'm back with an update, though it might be a bit underwhelming. I've been going steady with writing and rendering, but there's nothing significant I can report on. Something significant did happen, I had a massive breakthrough in a writing issue I had that was stalling me and now I know how to resolve a huge bit that's supposed to happen near the end of the release, bringing the f...

Hello!

It's been a bit. I haven't updated because for the past week and a half I kept hoping I'd have a less maddening day at work, but no such luck. I've been in overtime a lot lately and haven't gotten much work in for the game. I'm really hoping this won't keep going for much longer, but I figured I'd update because I do have some stuff to talk about anyway.

As I get further into...

Today is my birthday, so I decided to make something fun to share with you.

Happy birthday to me.

Thank you for being here with me for another year.

Hello!

Bad news first, writing is still incredibly difficult. I've made progress and the quality of it is on point, but something just isn't clicking with me. Now, the good news is that there were a lot of stuff that needed to be done that weren't writing anyway, so I've been doing that. The exploration segment is completely finished and I managed to implement a minimap feature as well, w...

Hello!

I'm back with updates again. For some reason, I've been having massive issues with writing and I have no idea what could be going wrong. I managed to get some done yesterday, but there's still something that isn't clicking. I'm sure it will, eventually, and when it does I'll probably get a lot done, but I'm struggling with it for now. To be fair, though, it's a very complex release...

Hello!

It's been a while. Sorry for the late update. There were some things happening in my personal life and it was pretty difficult to get some cognitive energy together. Things have settled down now, though, so I'm back.

I've been writing and making renders as much as I could. The first few scenes are written and the first one is covered by renders and it's looking pretty good (p...

Hello!

It's been a while, but I'm back with renewed strength and feeling a lot more relaxed. Mostly, I've been taking it easy and actually being happy for a change. It was kinda weird, but I got the hang of it eventually. What I've been cooking in the meantime is that the outline is done and I've decided on an interesting structure for this release. I think it's gonna be fun. And there's ...
