I suppose I should write an entry for this. Finally. Welcome to my website, friend, acquaintance, or otherwise. I suppose I should talk about what I’m gonna put in this journal. I suppose I want to put more general thoughts or questions I’ve been having. Or what I’m working on. Things like that. Whether or not I will consistently comtinue this is another question I can’t answer, but hopefully I will. I have a lot of thoughts on the daily so lack of things to talk about is definitely not the problem. Motivating myself to write them….now that is a different story. But every journey starts with a step so here’s my first step. I’ll try and make updates weekly for now! Let’s see how long this lasts. (07/19/26).
Currently working on the last day of Elenor of Illuo! It’s exciting this project is almost done. I really hope the story comes together as cohesively as I want it too, even in the beta version. Sometimes I worry I’m writing a lot and not getting to the point but I’ve put a lot of hints to imply the story I’m going for. I just hope it comes across as well as it does in my own head. The art of creation is super tough to master, especially when you get so in your head about it like I do. Sometimes I write and I am just taken a whole other direction by the flow of the conversation instead of writing the clues I need to write. It’s tough but sometimes I just have to circle back around and add what I need to. I probably need to circle back around for this story but I wrote so much like damn 😭😭😭. I forget how long this story is until I sit down and look at it. I can’t believe I made a multiple hour long game just for the fun of it!! That’s so crazy and special to me. People talk about the possibility of adding art to my game to make it more well rounded and I could see this game in a visual novel style, just like the games I issued to play all the time, but for now I’m happy where it is. I would want to find and commission an artist whose style I really like so maybe one day. But not today unfortunately. (I’d also have to figure out how to code on Ren'Py if I were to do that anf that kinda scares me……) Signing off, Monarch (07/21/26)
