a lot of defines for antonio, layla and fernando shown with focus on fonts and font colors

We're back at it! Started working on the game again last night.

Am changing the planned script a bit to add more lesbians interacting (disaster zone). (˵ •̀ ᴗ •́ ˵ ) ✧ The game is still a pretty short one, maybe 9k to 14k.

Trying to release the game by Halloween was intenser than I realized; since I had to take a few days break for the new computer to arrive after My Attempts TM, I feel more focused on making sure the energy of the VN hits the way I want. Hopeful for it.

So here's my sketch attempts during the foray:

Older Antonio smiling gently at an Alejandro who is faced away but experiencing genuine mirth. Antonio has rougish falling shoulder-length hair, red eyes and cat ears. Alejandro has closed eyes and long flowing hair wears a tunic. Antonio has strapping arms but no bob window due to conveniently placed undershirt.

Catboy Antonio shenanigans continue with his rougeish fall of hair, catboy dark cat ears, red eyes and bemused expression. He has muscled arms. Light aqua BG. It shows Paint Tool Sai 1's layout.

Chibi Tono foreground Ale background. Antonio has pink cat ears pink shirt with teal tiger red eyes and bemused expression going "nothing's working..." with teal underline. Alejandro behind him has long dusk pink hair and teal shirt with darker teal heart with wings and snek below. Both have sparkling chibi red eyes. Teal text by Ale by the art is A dog can only scratch not give scratches sweatdrop pensive kaomoji Raj is silver going no they are nice teal title on the side says oekaki blues sweatdrop on the opposing side a big blue VN box with red nametag that says error and the text below says define Antonio chan-rive cut off. On pink section the teens are talking! nothing's working!!! On the astra they said check pen pressure & tablet GRRR - Ale. Ye - Raj. Yellow-green Fernando why is my brother a strawberry anime smiley sweatdrop - not naan. fruity shampoo - raj. Computer-error-implying blue txt beneath says notes dot texty Let me speak on it. The stressor we've been dealing with is how little he cares for what is... done to his reputation and ... vs ... for him AND I BELIEVE ITS MY FAULT Layla even spoke to me about it of all people upon Imion and I will have to figure out what to do. I must. It never matters if its out of love ... he as a person matters to me not [cut off text like earlier].

(Made the alt text have more sense for this one).

This last one involves themes in the upcoming game and series as a whole! I learned oekaki boards have become uncommon, so I'm glad cinni's one (part of Neocities) sparked interest back up! Here's a thread of others I've read are active in 2025.

Noticing a lot of cool emocore media lately! V curious about the next while.

Additionally...

Edit 10/25: Forgot to note that I got re-indexed on Itchio! AFAIK, since the novella excerpt is SFW, the cover being comically sexy did me in. Still afraid to take chances after this and may make an alternate novella cover. 💦💦

And thus, here's the historical memory of me censoring Antonio's beautiful bobs from a 2024 sketch for the Itch version of this post:

Antonio's bobs are censored............................

On the left in lavender is Antonio who is looking back irritably with a visible red eye, a frown and furrowed brow. He's without a shirt, and holding fuchsia threads doing some sort of cat's cradle, as well as wearing an aquamarine-and-blue lungi. On the right in pink is golden-eyed [implied thru the egg yellow] Fernando who is looking back with a long braid and easy smile, holding a fuchsia rose. He's wearing a form-fitting tanktop and a lavender belt and light violet-looking pants.
