The new year started!

I hope you all had a great start into 2025! :-)

Wow! The new year is here and somehow January is already halfway over. o.O I hope you all had an amazing start to 2025.

Seriously, when did the clock decide to go into overdrive?


Anyway, I've been keeping busy, making it a personal mission to leave each of my watchers at least one comment or a kind message on their profiles. It's been a lovely way to connect, though I'm still working through the list because DeviantArt apparently softbans me if I leave too many comments in a short amount of time. :-/ Lesson learned: Enthusiasm requires patience!


On the creative front, I took a little detour from working on the final tweaks for my next Teleny upload. I got completely sucked into the game Outward during a short break I allowed myself. It was such a fun distraction and exactly what I needed to recharge. Now I'm feeling refreshed and ready to dive back into that last bit of finetuning!


Since my original “end of December”-plan didn't pan out, I'm aiming to have the next big update ready to go by the end of January instead. Fingers crossed it all comes together! :-)


Here is the obligatory link to my project on Itch:
