Hello everyone! Hope you are doing awesome. Earlier this month, I flew to Melbourne for a week and recorded a bunch of footage for Without Within 2. I also learned some new things about the city, and I look forward to dropping in those details where appropriate. Really hope I will be able to share my love for new places with everyone through this game.
 
I wanted to quickly show off some of the photos I took while I was in Melbourne:
 

 

 

 

 
According to my phone, I walked 50km in a three day span during my time in Melbourne. I hope you will enjoy the game as well as the optional footage. Thank you friends !

Hello everyone . I subscribe to a few marketing as well as psychology podcasts, and meditation gets mentioned quite often in topics of this sort.
 
To be truthful, I never spared meditation much thought. I have a day job, so I pursue my game development endeavors before and after office hours. If I have time to sit there and think about nothing, why not do some work instead? Or at least, let me think about the things I want to get better at. For example, I evaluate my performance after a basketball game, and that helps me improve. Meditation, however, requires you to empty your mind. What can I possibly gain by doing that?
 
As the topic gets brought up over and over, I am becoming more interested in meditation's potential. I actually gave it a try this morning (probably not even doing it right at all), and I have short sessions scheduled into my personal calendar.
 
Having played basketball for 20 years, I do believe in this concept of the subconscious. Using my brain to anticipate movements is several hundred milliseconds too slow. If I instead switch off my mind and depend on muscle memory, I can make a move before my brain has made the decision to do so. Commentators often say a player is "unconscious" when they are dominating. Those who have been through the journey will understand right away.
 
If I sound like I am rambling, that would be because I am. I am certainly not some kind of genius who claims to know anything about the human mind. In that case, maybe meditation has some benefits that I am unable to even comprehend at this stage.
 
I wanted to ask if anyone has some insights on this topic? Maybe if you have tried meditating and have stories to share, etc. General opinions are welcome, too. Thank you !

Hello everyone ! Anyone else watching Umaru-chan this season? You know, I hated this girl so much at first. That sloppy attitude destroys what it means to chase dreams, but I gradually saw Umaru caring for her loved ones, and I warmed up to her. This is now my favorite show of the season, and one of the shows that brought me the most joy in recent memory.
 
In one of the later episodes:
 



 
The next day after seeing that episode, I went out to watch the Love Live film. Over here in Sydney, we got autograph boards, but they were limited in number, so if you showed up late, you missed out. I got a Nico board, which was pretty neat.
 
After the movie, I met a Twitter friend who was a huge Nico fan, wearing a Nico shirt to the cinema and all. Unfortunately, she showed up late, so she missed out on the board. At that moment, I remembered that scene from the Umaru episode I watched last night, and I gave my Nico board to her.
 
I love Umaru because she really connects with me in some ways. As in, I can be a bit of a loner, having the most fun when I game or watch anime alone. In the end, though, these goods are a whole heap of plastic, and I figured we probably came to this earth to hang out with people.
 
Thank you Umaru, and cheers for reading !

Just stumbled upon this:
 
http://waifubartending.com/
 
That URL is a bit curious , but this is exactly what I mean by having your own flavor. Daring to have stylish, slightly pixelated graphics, that interlace effect, etc. I will be checking out the game soon and might drop an order if I enjoy it. Feel free to leave thoughts on the game !

Well, it's been a while since I last posted here...
 
I guess I'll make a quick summary of what happened since last time I posted something :
 
- Writing is progressing well, we're moving onto heroine routes, and common route is in editing phase. There are quite a lot of additions to be made on common route, so it's nowhere near to completion (but we are actively working on it as well).
 
- Art is progressing well, not really much to say about that, we are working on new sprites and on CG for common route currently.
 
- Music is stalling, mostly because we have no composer available to work on the Lucid9 tracks. Fortunately, a good portion of the tracks we need for common route is already composed. If you're a composer and you'd like to offer your services as a composer, feel free to pm me!
 
- Programming is... Well, I guess we are operating a change of direction here. Even though our current demo on cloudnovel is working, we ultimately had issues with the creators, we are probably going to make Lucid9 on ren'py since it's probably the safest and most reliable way.
 
 
As a result, I have no idea when we'll be able to release a demo... The good thing is that the next demo will be an downloadable one!
 
I guess I'll share some of the art that has been created lately as an apology for the lack of updates lately :

An awesome background, courtesy of yuuko our BG artist!
 

You'll order some more Elizabeth, won't you?
 

I'm very tempted to make some Love Live reference...
 

Is that Akira? YES IT IS AKIRA!

Nope, never made a mistake like that, not one that I can remember anyway. You may now feel terrible.

Vinty is attending a calligraphy event over in Melbourne. At last, she will be able to meet Excelia, the world famous calligrapher. Determined to study and mimic her idol's every move, will Vinty end up losing her identity?
 
       
 
Hello everyone! Thank you for being kind to Vinty in Without Within last year. Putting such a short game onto Steam was scary, but a lot of you gave WOWI a chance, and I am really thankful for that. This time around, with the script running at about 20,000 words (still short by VN standards), this sequel will run at roughly five times the length of the original. Without Within 2 will be a kinetic novel without any choices. This time around, I would rather focus on one story rather than being distracted by contrived choices like I did with the first game.
 
WOWI2 will also be a bit of a "travel novel" as well. Throughout the game, players will find links to various videos of Melbourne Australia, which is where the story takes place. To be honest, I have this borderline fetish with places. As in, I love them almost as much as I like people. I really want to share that passion with everyone. In September, I will be flying to Melbourne for a week to film more footage. I have a booth at a convention there as well, so just trying to make the best use of my time and money.
 
Please feel free to check out the demo:
 

 
And I can really use your support on greenlight as well. Thank you for considering:

Thank you so much everyone ! And thanks in advance to Helvetica Standard (or whoever ends up doing it) for moving this to the Original Projects section.

Sorry for spamming new games! But this looks pretty cool so I wanted to share it :

Being able to control fate would be a blessing for many. To Miyon, it is her greatest curse. East and West Taria are in conflict, and Miyon's power will be the most valuable weapon.
Meanwhile, Gai has been sold by his family into Miyon's temple. Will the two save or destroy one another?

Hello everyone ! Here is my latest project, Cursed Sight. It has in fact in brewing for quite a while now, and I am happy to finally be able to share it with you all. A demo version of the game is available here:
 


http://cursedsight.invertmouse.com/demo.html

So far, my most common feedback is that my previous titles were too short. With Cursed Sight, I am hoping to find a balance between staying succinct and satisfying the players' wishes. The full script is currently around 45,000 words long. Cursed Sight will also be my first release with multiple complete endings.

There is currently a campaign to fund the full game. I hope to have your support:  

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1013046199/cursed-sight-visual-novel

Cursed Sight is currently also on Steam Greenlight. If you could consider sparing a moment to vote, I would really appreciate it:

  Before signing off, hey Rooke, Flutterz, thank you so much for helping me out earlier on. I will always remember your support . Nosebleed, thanks for letting me post this here as well. As discussed, please feel free to move this over to Ongoing Projects.   Thank you so much everyone! Really appreciate you all as always.

Stage Nana just updated their website it seems:

I really love Narcissu guys. Had to share this (OuO)! Looks like the new story will take place after Narcissu Side 2nd, and it features a new heroine named Sumire.

It's looking good! I noticed the campaign is in AUD so I have to support the locals and say good luck .
