Written Story's Improvement?

None. I absolutely have no improvement whatsoever with my story. Mental block. Or rather, I've been lazy, lol. The weather these days are super mild, not much sun and always raining. I love rain. I love how it's making me sleepy. That's why I sleep, then take afternoon naps sometimes. I love how boring my life is without work (yes, sarcasm intended). I wish I can find a good job soon. Sigh, these days, it's pretty hard to find a job. Part time jobs don't even pay much, but it's still better than nothing.

I'm addicted to Brave Frontier (MMORPG) and Machine Knight (RPG) on Android. They're pretty fun. I'm a sucker for RPGs, especially turn-based RPGs. Not so much action RPG and SRPG though. I'm a relaxed person so turn-based RPGs for me.

I have completed another short game. It's more of a quiz though, it's in my language (Malay) and it's more towards educational religious theme, so I don't think I'll distribute it online. Right now, I'm in the middle of writing a story, it's already at 10 000+ words and just one path. I'm thinking of writing more but I've been putting it off for a while now. It's still a work in progress, so I'm not sure when I'll finish it or if I'll ever finish it at all.

I have trouble with programming codes for Ren'Py. It doesn't do much justice for my game at all. I try some of the tutorials in the forum, but I mess up a lot. I try incorporating gallery, then changing GUI, but apparently I don't know how to correctly use it, then it ended up in a mess, error all the way. It's frustrating. But still, the process of learning is actually pretty fun. Up until now, I haven't figured out how to insert gallery for customized GUI. Also, the placement of GUI is something that I'm weak at. I think it'd be better if I just use the default one for now. I'm glad there are people to ask around though. I may not need help for now since my script isn't finished yet, but I may need it later.

I can't make art or music too, that's why I'm thankful for free sprites and music. Thank you, thank you! :D But I may need help with CG. Right now, I'm just working on script, so I'll think about other things later.

Yes, I play with GIMP. Not a pro or anything, just a hobbyist. Not that good at it either. Below is one of my latest works. Yes, I was bored, haha. It's Kagamine Rin of Vocaloid. Render and C4D's are not mine, so credits to them, I don't claim any ownership over these. I'm just using the resources to create a signature.


While I'm at this, I have to say I have fun watching dance central/just dance on Youtube, especially from this guy. There are others too that I enjoy watching. I also enjoy watching this guy dance, he's so cute and he's like a cuddly teddy bear. :D

Alright, enough with the random things, I'm off to whip up some stories. Prepare to work overtime, brain. ._.
