Canan/Exam Route Draft 3

All right, it’s time for me to stop fooling around and deliver the goods on what I think will become the official Canan path storyline. For as long as it took to finally make this post, it’s missing information on decision points and some details need filling in, but I blame a lot of this …

Canan/Exam Route Draft 2

Thanks to a breakthrough conversation with Zanaikin today, I was finally able to do what I haven’t been able to do on my own even after weeks of attempts.

Christmas in June

Sooo… I just got my first paycheck. I take back anything bad I ever might have said about Mickey D’s, because now I can fund my otaku hobby more aggressively than ever before! At the risk of sounding overly self-satisfied, it’s Christmastime here at Taishou! And I’ve already put something wonderful under my tree. What could it …

Imperium Project: Wiki Profiles

Eager to give myself a break from the Canan/Exam route (which is quickly becoming too involved and difficult for my meager talents as a visual novel storywriter), but unwilling to cease all productivity, I decided to get some much-needed work done on character profiles for the Imperium Project Wiki.

Canan/Exam Route Draft 1

All right, it’s time to stop being lazy for a little while and get back to some work on the Imperium Project. This time, I have to focus on the in-game events that will reveal Canan’s and Exam’s personal histories and bring Exelar close to them. Although Canan will be introduced at an early stage …

End of Exams

Well, I did it. I’ve finished my final exams and have officially survived my first year as a college student! Yay! Now I can look forward to a summer full of Super Smash Bros. and Gunpla. The only trouble is related directly to this blog. In the next 24 hours, posting will become more difficult …
