I didn't like shop owners having to be stuck standing behind their shop counters all day, so I added this tiny little interaction so that they could wander about freely while still being findable and interactable.

Got all my Pokopia towns to level 10 and and so I finally had the time to implement this thing I liked from it. I spent awhile figuring out what to call it, because "pester" was accurate but maybe too mean. So NPCs will occasionally "approach" the player with gifts.

Once you've built up friendships with the people of Apollo, they'll lend a hand with maintaining the gardens you've set up around the city !!

I gotta make the sound less annoying, but I wanted to visually and audibly indicate how your interactions with characters changes your friendship levels.

Useful little QOL thing -- when you catch a fish, the game will show you all of the other fish that are currently available (for the current weather, time, and location), which can be a big help if you're trying to complete your fishing collection.

I made some changes to how farm animals produce items. It's no longer a "this or that" situation, so some animals, like sheep, can produce multiple types of items at once (wool and sheep milk). Sheep milk can then be used to make Pecorino Cheese !!

Added the sun and moon to the sky (and surfaces that reflect it, like windows and bodies of water). The moon also shows different phases depending on the time of month.

i've always loved the persona series' large, subtly animated character portraits so i decided to replace my tiny little character portraits with something that looks a little nicer! (please ignore camille's dialogue and extremely bad attitude, both are placeholder)

Hey everyone! I guess now's as good a time as any to announce (and apologize) that Sunkissed City is looking like an early 2025 release as opposed to my original Q4 2024 estimate 😅💀💀💀

As a character customization head, I've always disliked having to choose between "your hair looks beautiful, magnificent, exactly how you wanted" and "oh, you're wearing a hat now, okay here's a ponytail" and so early on in Sunkissed City's development, I came up with this.

I started a new save in my game and forgot how customizable the character customization is.

Plussed up the foliage in the forest a little bit. I've been a little unmotivated lately, so mindlessly drawing plants has been a good reprieve.

A stressful weekend, so I decided to go on autopilot and mindlessly work on something relaxing. Here's a WIP of one of the many tanks in the Marin Beach Aquarium, where you'll donate fish you've caught. My hope is that it'll be as fun to explore as Animal Crossing's.

My girlfriend and I bought city bikes this year, which led to my decision that I absolutely needed to add a bike to my game. Will they be customizable with unusually expensive addons? Only time will tell.

Took a few days off "actual" work to realize a joke idea I had back when I was rewriting Junimo Kart. "What if Junimo Kart was actually a Kart."

I teased bike accessories, so here's the attachable Bike Basket. It gives you a little bit of storage to lug things around. If you collect an item you don't have inventory space for near your bike, it'll automatically be placed in it !! (Still coming up with a game title, sorry!)

My brother has been helping w/ music for the game! One of his tracks fit the museum, but it was too upbeat for when the museum doesn't have any artifacts on display, so I came up with a system of transitioning between versions of songs depending on donation milestones !

FINALLY wrapped up the first draft of the ingame map. The map is drawn to scale, so NPCs are positioned exactly on the map as they are in the game world (with some logic to "group" nearby NPCs together so that you don't have a bunch of overlapping icons).

It's something I had planned for awhile, but I spent today writing systems to allow Siouxsie to change into her work uniform to cover up her tattoos when she's on the clock at Ramen-ya ATSUI.

I was debating sharing this, but after spending the day writing this music for the Keby, it was too fun not to share. The event is a rough draft, and the text will probably change by release !!

I bet this won't come and ruin my life later when the game needs to be translated to different languages !!
