Dolls Nest & The Automata-Core Genre
There’s this game that I’ve been playing on and off for about a month called Dolls Nest, developed/published by Nitroplus. I’ve seen the people in the Steam reviews call it a hybrid between Dark Souls and Armored Core and I think that’s a pretty fair … Continue reading

VN Character Concept: Azuma Muramasa
Lately, I’ve been thinking about mentor characters, like Mr. Miyagi from The Karate Kid, for example. I still haven’t sat down to think what the major theme of the visual novel will be, so I decided to work on a concept … Continue reading

Girls’ Frontline 2 “Aphelion” Event Thoughts
I just finished the GFL2 Aphelion event story as of an hour ago. Since I talked about another GFL2 event earlier in the year, I figured I’d do it again. I missed out on the Centauressi event in March (I think), so I have a bit of a gap in the event stories. Aside from that, I’ve been pretty consistent. GFL2 is not my main game so it’s taken me a bit of time to finish. My main game is NIKKE and I can typically get away with doing daillies at work. However, I do a lot of events at home on my PC. As I’ve said many times over the last few posts, March/April has been really busy so I missed out on the last couple of banners. I’ll have to pick up 416/Klukai at another time. I’m glad the events last the entire month, though! Since I’m working on a visual novel, I’m interested in learning what I can about storytelling from games I already like to play.

Nytt rum Nytt du
The month of April has been completely chaotic for me. Little to no progress has been made on the VN and I fear that I haven’t had the chance to draw as much. It’s mostly because of work. I’m still … Continue reading

Around 15 years ago, when I was still in high school, I stumbled upon fan art of a character named Sansei Muramasa (see below) when I was browsing newly uploaded illustrations on Pixiv. There was a lot about the character … Continue reading

Here’s some music as you read: The month of March has been really stressful for me. Back in late February, my boss at work mentioned that it’d be a busy month for me. I’m an A/V tech at a university, … Continue reading

Art Study – ACPK9 by 虚
When I started drawing last year, I quickly learned that I’d need references no matter how good I got. When I’m bored or want to learn a technique, I try to do an art study and replicate something I like … Continue reading
