Three years ago I left my ex fiancé.
I thought that marriage just wasn't for me.
And when my mom passed, I couldn't imagine not having her there.

But @santasatsune.bsky.social stood by me, through everything, loving & supporting me.
And I couldn't imagine my life without him.

He said "yes" 💕
I think the hardest thing about having ADHD is not having that ONE THING that is your passion.
I wish I could just devote all my time to pixel art, or writing, or streaming, or game design, or, or, or...
But having so many things I want to do just creates a burnout that leaves me hollow & lost - ugh

I want to get back into content creation/streaming but I'm struggling to find my footing (especially with this new job about to start up)

I low-key wish I had a #Vtuber manager that I could make plans with. Just feeling overwhelmed & lost in all the things I COULD DO that I'm stuck doing nothing 💔

I decided that it was too big so I'm remaking it smaller 💕

I haven't been able to do much pixel art these past few days due to classes, but I AM able to mindlessly cross stitch during lectures 🪡

And cross stitching is just IRL pixel art right?

I am very much debating on coming back to streaming for character creations streams.

I feel like doing a bunch of cute pixel art of all my NPCs could be cozy and fun 💕

I won't know for sure until October since I'm starting a new job in August, but fingers crossed 🤞

Happy birthday Mom.

I would not be the woman I am today if it wasn't for everything you did for me and I can only hope to become half the woman you were.

You will forever be my best friend.

I love you so much and I miss you even more.

Happy birthday.

The primordial calling to be a horse girl is real.

So of course my #indiegame will have a small handful of different horses available for mounts 💕🐴

Updates are going to be a bit slower the next few months because I'm taking summer classes.

I'll try to post something at least once a week!

I'm hoping to get all the basics pre-coded before I start working on the writing of the game that way I don't have to worry about the mechanics and can just focus on the actual story progression without being sidetracked 900 million times ☠️

#POC community - Please let me know if you feel represented with the 5 skin tone palettes I've used for my #indiegame
I want to try & represent as many people as possible, so please please please let me know if there is a shade I should add so you can feel seen🙏 💕

I AM SCREAMING!!!!
This has come out SO GOOD!!!
This is LEAPS AND BOUNDS better than where I started on my original game.

I cannot stress enough - PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!!!

I don't think I've been this proud of something in a while 💕

I need like a #pixelart mentor. How the heck do I shade this section of a guy's neck?
Like I know there is supposed to be a shadow, but like they also have an adams apple so how do I shade that too?

UGH 😵‍💫

I don't think I will ever be able to #pixelart non-round heads LMAO
This might be my "how do you know it's my art" art style 🤣

It's definitely getting better though!!!

Going to have to rework both of these in a different style for the new game ☠️

I think I'm leaning more towards a Fire Emblem-ish style but I still want to keep it anime inspired.

Maybe I'll try Fire Emblem meets 90s anime style 🤔
Really hoping my guys will look better with hair and clothes 🤣

But I am OBSESSED with how my girls turned out!!!! 💅

These ones are a little more nuanced and require a bit more fine tuning - but the bones are there!

Working on a reference log of game elements for quick access while programming.

What other types of quests/puzzles/mechanics do you like in games?

New project will let you choose between 3 pronouns and 5 different skin tones!

I'm hoping to figure out how to let you change your outfit as you play too. I love customization in games 💕

After getting some life updates, I'm probably going to start working on a smaller scale project since my current game is incredibly time intensive and I'll no longer be able to give it the attention it needs without burning out.

On to the back burner you go.

First attempt at making a pathway map!
Using @vectoraith.bsky.social #Pixelart #tileset that I modded a smidge 💕

I am loving how it's coming out, but obviously I'm still new to it and it could probably use some tweaking. So any advice is super welcomed!

#ChronicIllness is an #Indiedev #Solodev worst nightmare 😭

Like please...it's been three days.

Just let me sit at my PC and make cute little pixel doodles.

I yearn for the pixel mines lol.

So my current game is 32x32 for #Pixelart but I'm low-key thinking I want to drop down to 16x16 because I just love how tiny everything is & then pop to 32x32 for fights.

Does anyone know what screen sizes I should alter my #RpgMaker to for 16x16?

Overworld, town, & interior 🙏

Another #pixelart timelapse for my new #OC 💕

Watching this back I think I am going to redo the braid over her eye to be more like the original design but have the blocking of the second design.

This is why I love timelapses, they give me a chance to step back and look over everything.

At midnight I proposed to @santasatsune.bsky.social and he said YES!

I did record it, so I'll post the audio after I edit it.
Happy 3 year anniversary darling!

ADHD and #pixelart are a blessing. There is always something to work on if your brain doesn't want to be bothered with a certain aspect of the drawing lol.

(However, I will eventually have to deal with the monstrosity that is the body lol)
