It's hard staying motivated when life's constantly throwing hands with me on several levels. But then I think of you and that you're waiting for Fuji:RE. It will take time, as I have to heal and adjust in the meanwhile, but you give me the courage to not give up♡

A bit of life update, thus, projects update. It's complicated. Lot of personal stuff is happening to me at once so it's chaotic and I'm a bit lost for now, but...yeah. Fujiwara goes up and down, depending on said events. CoF is slowed down too. I wish I could be 100% back. How's everyone doing ?

Please send help (or virtual headpats), my code is so chaotic I'm lost in it🥲 BUT ! I'm almost done integrating the writing for Ikki's route. I think I'll add all the writing for all the routes at once to get rid of the "boring" -for me at least- part of the dev work, and then work on the art + GUI🤔

Yup...this week mostly consisted of me messing around with how I could organize better my code and now it's all over the place. I'm on cleaning duty now, so I'm a bit late on my initial schedule...Hopefully I'll do some progress next week instead of breaking and unoptimizing more things🥲👍

Today's realization : Resuming a three(3) Ichigo's paragraphs of delulu yaoi fanfiction about Ikki, Ryu and Toshio by the simple and only one sentence "Is this a love triangle...?" feels so weird ! But after the feedback, I think maybe it might not be too bad to make some sacrifices sometimes xD

Hello ~
I do love drawing sprites and items for others visual novels (and mine)🌸 ~
My "non-studio" bluesky is just...empty for now, unfortunately, haha...

I'm glad to hear you liked the new demo and how I handled Haru's situation this time around ! Thank you also for your kind words, it really warms my heart💖

If you played both og fujiwara and the demo remake, either if you loved it, hate it or something in between...please don't hesitate to reach out to me and tell me your thoughts about how I handled Haru in the new demo. I don't have a lot of feedback about it, so I'd greatly appreciate yours💖
