Welcome to 2024! Let's kick off the old and ring in the new! In this first week of 2024 I have made more progress on the Persona 4 Golden walkthrough. I think I am finally nearing the end of the game! Once the walkthrough is up to the last dungeon and boss it won't quite be done, I will be cutting some things out and streamlining it (maybe it'll fit on one page again) so it only helps you get through the game and doesn't have other information. Things like when Marie will be available and other commentary will be moved to other sections, like Social Links or Quests. As for other news, I have finished a game! Look forward to a new review and many more in 2024!

This is the first time I'm late since starting my weekly updates. It has been a crazy day! Fortunately, I'm not too late, but I had a lot of work to do and a lot of other plans. Also I may have spent too long trying to get notes off my Steam Deck so I could update the Persona 4 Golden walkthrough and not enough time actually updating the website 😅

I hope you all are looking forward to Christmas! If not, well maybe I can give you all something to look forward too! This year's Christmas illustration is finished and it features Nagisa. It will be your first opportunity to see what she looks like, so I hope that's enough to get you to look forward to Christmas. I mean, I could release her now, but I'm going to wait just so you all have a Christmas present to look forward to. I actually had a total of three Christmas projects, but none will be leaked here early, I can guarantee that.

Things were going so smoothly with all my other things that I was bound to almost forget something 😅 The thing was…this site 😆 Yeah there isn't really any updates this week. I'm trudging along through Persona 4 Golden still, but I have been focusing more on Christmas projects and less on other things as it is, as the title says, almost that time. Now, I don't really think of myself as behind right now, just on different priorities. It would be different if I had an idea for something like a new episode of RE[BASE] and was postponing that, but I just got an idea for another episode for Nagisa's story today, so not really behind yet.

For the past several months, I have fell behind on a lot of things. My school work was usually just barely on time, and work from my primary job was always submitted right on the deadline, but my commissions were always just a bit later than I'd like and many of my personal projects, including my playthrough of Persona 4 Golden, were all far behind. This week things changed and now I am not only caught up on everything but I'm ahead!

Things are progressing nicely with some of the illustrations for RE[BASE] and there are already five episodes written. Only one illustration is up so far, but I am hard at working making another one. So far all five episodes center around Allana. Obviously, she is not the only character. In fact, through her story, you have been introduced to a few others, but I am here to announce another main character who will debut (there's a pun in there for anyone reading this after her debut 😉) next week. Plus a few more announcements I'm working on!

Spooky month is over, Christmas is not yet here, so that must mean its harvest time and that, at least for those of us living in the United States, means Thanksgiving, also known as Turkey Day. It also means I short work week and lots of time needed to prepare so not much in the way of updates this week. I picked up a new VN that I will like to review as I heard its one of the classics. I also hope to add more VNs that I have on my Steam wishlist to the reviews. I'm still working on finishing Persona 4 Golden, but I focused more on getting homework done this week so I wouldn't fall behind during the holiday. I will be putting up the commissions I finished last week though.

This week has been pretty busy. Been working in a new position and attending lots of meetings and training seminars. I got another commission. On top of everything I'm still working toward my degree as well. So yeah been busy, but its also been mostly fun…as long as you ignore the last heading that is 😜

This site now has a lot of news articles! I guess one article each week for almost a year will do that. As a result, I made a few changes to how the news section is organized. You probably won't notice anything, unless you link to an article. Sorry for all the links I just broke 😅

The month of October, also known as Spooky Month, is over. Halloween was one of my favorite holidays, but I, sadly, didn't do much this year. I am still sad to see the month go and, I was also reminded, there are only two months left in the year 😲. 2023 has gone by fast, huh?

Just kidding, I discovered those a long time ago 😝 Actually, what's funny is that some of my favorite JRPGS are also marked as visual novels, at least according to Steam. For some of them I can actually see that. Like Hyper Dimension Neptunia, or Fairy Fencer. Those do have some RPG elements to them, like building and leveling your characters and exploring dungeons, but most of the story is delivered in the same fashion as a visual novel. In fact, I can kind of even see it with the Persona series since much of that story is delivered in the same fashion. Sure both 4 and 5 also had some full motion scenes too, but those were kind of few. So, I guess I kind of like visual novels, though I am a bit disappointed in how similar say Neptunia and Fairy Fencer play even though the stories are so different.

I guess I'll start with a confession. There will be no episode of RE[BASE] this week. I'd like to point out that I said that I won't necessarily be trying to maintain the once-a-week pace for episode releases. I also mentioned that releasing the first three episodes on that schedule was more because I was on break and had a lot of time. So, I would like to say its because I started back in classes so I don't have the time I did when I was on break, but that's not really true 😅
