So, I've been playing a lot of games on Steam lately. One of my co-workers has been gifting me games that he feels I should play, including Plants vs. Zombies. Not one of my favourite games, but I can see the appeal to it.
I've been playing Bastion (finally), Sword and Sworcery (awesome!), and I downloaded a copy of The Witcher for myself, as well. I've also been taking my time with Lollipop Chainsaw and having a blast with that. There's just something endearing about the way Juliet yells "What the dick?!" when things don't go her way.
I'm also keeping myself busy with a the creation of a visual novel, when I'm not working at work or drawing commission stuffs. That's right, my sister and I are creating a visual novel/dating sim! We even have a Facebook page. Sounds legit! I've been writing it for about a month or so now, which is easy enough since I can take a notebook with me on the bus and to work. I don't do that with my drawings as much anymore.
But, so far, people have been pretty supportive of the whole visual novel thing. A few of my coworkers are reading over what I've got written and giving me some good (if not brutal) feedback, so I'm being forced to evaluate myself as a writer and storyteller. I used to think I was pretty good, but now...
Either or, my sister and I have some information about it all on our Unhinged Twins page. She's working on creating the art for our character bios, and I'm working on figuring out what the crap to do with the story. It's fun, though. She and I are really feeding off of each other's creativity and ideas. We're keeping each other going, and that's what's important. We're also hoping to go to a convention in the future and sell some artwork based on the game to help promote it.
Ah, now if only we didn't have jobs and the such to be worrying about...
