Version 0.1.0 - That's it?

EDIT: Next month I'll be working on my entry for Unagi's MAY WOLF JAM 2024! Join the jam and write some kick ass stories with us!

Yes, that's it. Bro, this was like a spur of the moment thing, wth do you expect? For me to have an entire first act done already? Ya be lucky ya gett'n more than just the prologue.

Hey there, friend. Long time no see.

I've been cooking up a few things since I finished How the Ink Tastes and Flotsam (by the way, kudos to everyone in the FVN Discord that gave me some great advice on things to improve upon!). I finished the first draft of a story that I hope to have all nice and pretty for you in the distant future called We the Hunters. It was formerly called What Little He Took in my old devlogs, but I thought having an acronym that was WTH would be funnier. Its content is along the lines of my usual stuff. Dark and gritty and horrible. You know. The good things in life.

While I am letting that draft rest, I thought I would experiment with something a little different. And, well, here it is. Or, at least, the start of it.

"But Kraaj, how can you market this as a gay romance if you haven't even shown us the love interest?!"

Look, bitch, I'm trying my best lol. This is meant to be a more jaunty, fun experiment for me. At least compared to whateverthehell my last two VNs were. It's an active attempt to ditch perfectionism and try my hand at some genres I've never touched before. Just gonna let those wet and wild creative juices flow like the comforting embrace of warm milk. Or something like that. 

And since you asked so nicely, friend. Here's your love interest:

Isn't he beautiful? I mean, I don't think so because I have unresolved arachnophobia from childhood, but who has given a damn about what I think in the past couple decades? Certainly not the family counselor my parents took me to back when I was in high school, no sirree. 

"But Kraaj you said that you wanted to experiment with different body poses and clothes!"

You know what, friend? You're really starting to tick me off with these perfectly valid call outs. But let me put a pin in that and just admit that I didn't really feel like doing that, so I didn't. Yeah. That's right. Brutal honesty. Didn't get that from your latest Tinder match before they ghosted you, did ya? No pull-at-your-heartstrings excuses here.

Anywho, I don't have a release schedule for this. Think of it like the joy of an unexpected pregnancy. It shows up and fucks up your life when you least expect it. Or at least that's what the straights tell me nowadays. Idk. Can't relate.

Also follow me on Twitter. Or Bluesky, I guess, if you're one of them types of people.  ( > _ > ) 

Thanks all, and eat your veggies.
