Hello everyone!

I can't believe it, Lullaby reached 100+ downloads here on rmn!
Thank you so so much for playing my game... I am honestly kind of speechless. It legit means the world to me!
To be honest, I never would have thought that so many people would download (and hopefully play!) my game.
It's a little hard to wrap my head around.

While Lulaby still is very much my baby and passion project, I have realized I have a lot to learn about game making still (which is to be expected, since this is my first attempt at making a game).
Everyone's feedback has been really helpful, and though it is still a little nerve-wracking, I appreciate your constructive criticism a lot.

I already know that I am going to be able to use a lot of the feedback given to me for any future projects!

Also, as far as I can tell, Lullaby is pretty well received(?) over on itch.io.

There, I have reached almost 80 downloads - which is amazing! - and there has been a lot of helpful feedback too.
(I even received two ratings, one of which came with a written review that made me tear up - in a positive way.)

I noticed that a lot of people (from what I've seen on itch.io at least) seem to have trouble with the font used in the game. So I decided to add in a little README text file and also put more details into the instructions that are shown before the intro, to avoid any confusion.
Hopfefully that will help.

I honestly can't thank you enough for all of your help and support!
I know I keep repeating myself, but it is true.

With that being said, I think I should take a step back and take a small break from the internet, at least when it concerns Lullaby.

Lullaby is a project that is deeply personal to me.
I always thought the best way for me to deal with past experiences is to channel them into creativity - which I did with my game.
So it makes me especially happy that Lullaby's story seems to resonate with a lot of people!

But I am noticing that I am starting to obsess over it.

I'm checking youtube, twitter, rmn and itch.io multiple times a day (which to some degree is probably normal when you publish a game) and it's always on my mind in some way, even if I am doing something unrelated.
I don't want it to get to the point of it affecting my mental health negatively, so I think I just need a little bit of distance for now.

It's not that big of a deal, but I just wanted to let you all know in case I miss something or don't answer messages.

And that's pretty much all I wanted to say.

Thanks for reading and as always, I hope you'll have an amaying day. Take care of yourselves.

Hello again!

Thanks to UMTerry's stream (which was incredibly enjoyable), I found quite a few bugs still.
While a bit embarassing, it was incredibly helpful (and at times funny).


In this newest version, Lullaby v 1.2, all of those are fixed. Thank you, Terry!

It was such an amazing experience, seeing my game being played (and being enjoyed too!), I am so happy that I got to experience it.
And I am looking forward to (hopefully) experiencing it again.


As always, thank you for your support and your patience.

This has been a learning experience and so important for any future games I might make.


(Edit 22/05/2021: Fixed another gamebreaking bug someone pointed out, but decided to let it remain as Lullaby v 1.2 - the change was minimal so it didn't seem worth it to rename it.)

I am so incredibly happy to announce that Lullaby is finished and available for download now!

I almost thought the day would never come - but here we are.
Hopefully you'll enjoy playing Lullaby! It's a little nerve-wracking to put something so close to my own heart out into the world - but critique is the best way to improve.

But first I have a few requests:

► Please install the font "Asparagus Sprouts" that is in the folder "Fonts2" before playing the game.

► If you plan to stream/let's play Lullaby, please send me the link, I would love to watch it!

► Hopefully I have fixed any and all bugs, but if you do find one, please let me know so I can fix it as soon as possible.

And that's it.

Thank you so much for your support! ♥
I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts and improving as a game dev.

I'll (hopefully) see you next time!

Hello everyone!

This is just a very tiny progress report.

But first I want to thank you for the warm welcome I got when I posted on my blog after being completely absent for a year. It’s really good to hear that there are still people who are interested in my little project.
You guys are so very kind and I am happy to be a part of this community!

Okay, and now without further ado let me update you:

I am completely finished with eventing all the cutscenes in the game. Some of the characters don’t have their bust/character art finished yet - but niwa said she will probably be done with that in a couple of days, so that won’t be an issue for long. For now there are just text boxes without art.

Also I changed some sound effects and used different music for the intro and I think that improved it quite a bit. I also got done with the outro and the credit sequence!

Honestly at this point all I have to do (besides what I already mentioned) is put in some more flavour text for interactable objects (because I kinda let that slide while trying to get the main part of the game done) and test for bugs.

I’m honestly just so excited for this project to be finished soon, after all this time!

Granted, I have to resist the urge of redoing some things from the beginning of the game - because I would just never get done, it’d just be an endless cycle of doing and redoing.
I learned and grew alongside with the game, so my RPG Maker skills (mad skillz lol) have improved a lot in comparison to when I first started, but I just kind of have to accept that it’s not going to be perfect anyway.

Yeaaaah.
Excuse the small rant.

Anyways, as always, thank you so much for reading!

See you guys next time.

Hello everyone!

Sorry for taking so long to post another update. But don't worry, I didn't disappear (again), I just took a small break while waiting for some assets for my game.

I comissioned WorldOnPixels (feel free to check them out!) for custom character sprites - and I am so soooo happy with them. They look amazing. Especially Haru, she looks adorable!



(Side note: I am also going to add new images with the new character sprites, but I am debating on wether or not I should keep the old ones, to show off the difference. Any thoughts?)

Currently, I am waiting on niwa to finish the character portraits.

I just figured that if I already implimented all the dialogue without pictures and then added the art afterwards, that would be way more work than just waiting and adding the character art right away.
Does that make sense? (I feel like I worded that wrong)

I mentioned it before but: I am completely finished with the "main" game (which is pretty damn short). I am done with the puzzles and I am currently going through everything to fix bugs and passability errors.

The "only" thing I have to do now, is do the end "cutscenes" - and I am really looking forward to that. It's going to be so much fun! And dramatic. And angsty.

To be honest, it's a little terrifying to put something that I put so much love into out there into the world.
But I think everyones first game is kinda wonky - and just because I put a lot of effort into it, doesn't mean that it's got criticism resistency.

Anyways, as always thank you so much for reading this and being interested in my game.

I hope you'll have a wonderful day.
