many many many mishaps over the past few days… - used the wrong color of embroidery thread for a few hours - needed to redo the cutting+sewing of fabric several times - messed up all of my french knots and ruined the thread a dozen times
basically done!!! washed and now time to dry the face skin… looks sorta morbid now
it took me far too long to set the fabric in the hoop properly (i really should have gotten a bigger one) but i can finally start on the embroidery now…!!
yesterday i constructed a nui doll base as sewing practice… (on the left) as expected, i’m terrible at saddle stitching, but i feel like i‘m ready to start on the real deal 😤
progress on my embroidery test round from this weekend… kinda getting the hang of it! only pricked myself like 3 times lol
this guy (wacom graphire4 tablet) was with me through the damn trenches!!! my first tablet drawing was one i made of someone's neopet i think? in 2007!!!

american burgers are good and all but japan has yummy burgers too. japan pizza is also pretty good. but i am losing my mind being able to eat a good ole american sandwich stuffed with pastrami and pickles ahhhhhh 🥪
Metamorphosis - my visual novel about a horrible vampire and her many batgirl lovers over the course of thousands of years, is available to play on itch! 🧛🩸🦇 jocelyn.itch.io/metamorphosis
i've been working on stuff so much more consistently this year yippeeee 😌 i hope 2026 is a year of many green squares!
something about itch.io's website UX is so wack... whenever i try to find my Collections, i always get lost. and then when i actually find it, i can't just directly add games into the collections??? i'm sure there's a reason why but it's wack
capcom exhibit was great! i think it’s good to show people the dev process and various problems to solve when making games so that onlookers are like “oh… looks really hard”
went to kikuo concert last night at Zepp Shinjuku! great venue great vibes 🎈 i think this was my first ever vocaloid producer live in real life and not VR… kikuo is about to start a world tour too, amazing 最後のはちゃんとカラオケ版を用意してみんなと叫び声で歌ったのがエモいわ
i won't be able to wrap this game up by the first deadline i set buuuut i should still be able to finish it by mid-feb as planned... some screenshots with very WIP assets
still not finished writing the story/scripting ren’py stuff but uhh going to shift to Art Mode now 😭
