A title
Heya ( ˙▿˙ )/Im still deep in thoughts about my further approach to developing H games, so im putting that aside at least until Im done with this month build for Gauntlet.One thing I can say for sure - I will do more random art, since focusing on single thing for a long time will stagnate my skills significantly.He...

Hey!As I overestimated myself yet again, update Is still not there..I've been feeling lack of energy lately, so I'm taking rest sometimes, to avoid burnout.
