2025 Game+Art Goals
🕑 Added 2025-01-08 18:31:42 +0000 UTCHello y’all! Happy 2025! I have SOOOO much exciting(and other) news! So get comfy and let’s dive in; 
▶️▶️▶️▶️▶️
Art bingo: Last year’s art bingo was a big success! We didn’t finish every prompt, but we got through a HUGE chunk of them. I don’t know how committed I will be for the next one, which is why I’m sizing down to just one bingo card. If you have any suggestions, or would like to see more variety, don’t worry! I’m sure there will be numerous times when I take patreon requests and such!
Other art goals: I love my art! (Big major thank you to everyone who supported me through here!) And with how much I’ve improved these past few years, let alone ‘24, I can’t wait to keep drawing! No doubt I’ll continue to grow, which is why I REALLY want to get back into rpgmaker! Yay!
Rpgmaker projects? Yes! It’s been a good while since I’ve been able to fully dive into the engine.
So what about 8:11? I tried my best last year with continuing 8:11’s chapter two. Unfortunately, I will not be able to continue at my current pace. I have a million reasons to momentarily pause my work; but it boils down to my health takes priority. I’m going to continue to look for artists to hire to help with the work, ideally sometime later this year or in 2026.
What’s next? Going forward, I will be working on Yume Niko! Name is still in progress, but I’m hoping to create a Yume nikki fan game of sorts:) this fan game will help me ease back into rpgmaker engines, while giving me full creativity and loose edges to work around. (Whereas 811 is strictly held to its plot and intricate details). If I am able to finish Yume Niko, hopefully future games will be easier to tackle. It would make a great test run, not only for my own knowledge, but also to showcase what I’m capable of making compared to 8:11! Yume Niko may take me just over a year to complete(or longer), so, during that time I will continue to find ways to hire other artists to help my workload [for 8:11].
Going forward: Whenever I’m able to create compact test runs for Yume Niko, I will happily add them for patreon users to play! My biggest concern is leaking files, but I’ll have to deal with that later. For 2025, I’m hoping to upload small test game plays every so often for feedback. This might become a seal tier exclusive, but we shall see!Yume Niko will eventually be fully released for free, to the public, but will be a patreon exclusive for the beginning of its life:)
Be on the lookout for future posts such as: shop review google form (what freebie merch do ppl like to get)

At the moment, I suppose twitter DMs or DMs in here would work. Though as a artist myself, I would want to pay another, just as its a core value for me:,) So once I have the funds to do so, I will start hiring:)

So far it's really difficult to say. In a perfect world I would want a mixture of traditional artists for cutscenes/special stuff, digital ones to help with the bust speaking sprites and what not. Then especially pixel artists, as I personally hate doing pixel art hahahaha. But if I can't get much progress done in the engine, then I would have to hire a team to help with gamedev stuff. It's difficult to know what I need beforehand, so at the moment I'm not sure:( but I will find out one day!:)
