Demo-related update for the people
Wow, I can't believe you're still working on this after so long. ^^ Takes some dedication to stick to a project for so long.
Going all custom with the graphics was one of the best decisions to make with Chronology. Here's some progress.
Blog in an Empty House/The Search For A Battle Coordinator
I'm glad this project is still alive, bp. ^^
While I'm not too confident about my gameplay when it comes to battles, I could offer some advice since 1)I'm not working on any current projects atm and 2) I'd really like to lend you a hand, even if I don't have Ace. ><

The Works of an Icy Cactus
Let's hope my user name doesn't revert back. <_<
I figured I'd stick some of my WIPs/concepts for upcoming projects here. I've been on a bit of a creative roll over the last few weeks/months.
Naturally spoiler-tagged because some images are enormous.
Concept art for a future sci-fi/fantasy game (to be developed in MV)
Buildings are heavily inspired from that Phantasy Star 2 remake for the PS2 that came out ages ago. Some of them are hi-res versions of the pixel-art buildings I made for 'Accelerated World'.
Concept art for my eventual MC. I wanted to give her traditional armour, but decided to go for a bad-ass red longcoat.
Redesigns for a cancelled game of mine. Hi-res finalised image can be found further down.
She looks like she could be a villain...
WIPs
Full art of Farren, the main character from 'Icebound'. Fur was an absolute pain to do. ><
And one of my first ever heroines, Laine, redrawn.
Completed
I'm a very, very, very slow (so slow I could be going backwards) artist so don't expect much here.
RIP, you two. I was still messing around with re-designs even after the project's cancellation. Who knows, they may come back in the form of other characters.
This fan-art of my two favourite Granblue Fantasy characters(Katalina and Vira)took me too long.
WIP image.
There is a serious, serious absence of dudes in my art...

I did the backlog of username changes. if I missed your request, PM me.
Darndest Things 2
I want to change my username to polarcactus for some weird reason. It's my reddit username and I've come to like it a lot. ><
The name just came to me for some weird reason, like a Purple Cow title. I mean, in RL I'm neither prickly nor icy xD.
And Gourd, it took me only so long to realise your name really is a play on a clay gourd lmao.
@Infection: Yeah... I know. But new year, new me, I guess? xD
@Sooz: Moi? Whacky? Nevaaaar. Maybe whimsical.

What do you hate most about game design
Databasing. It's such a chore coming up with names for everything, and while site generators like Seventh Sanctum exist, it is still a pain.
I love everything else, including boss design (because bosses really are the crux of most jRPGs; everything in the game is built around them).

Got goals? (2018)
Goals? What goals? I never really make New Year Resolutions, but this is probably close enough.
- Start working on a new project in MV, finish up an existing one.
- Get better at art in general.
- Learn Japanese.
- Become a high-level player in Granblue (my current mobile game obession, the lovely girl in my avatar is Katalina)
- Write more blogs...? Articles? Submit more resources?
- Commercial gam...? Haha, we'll see about that.
I'm too laid back for my own good in RL tbqh (traits of being a Capetonian, I guess) so I guess I'll become more... proactive? Work harder (its not just for the raises, after all) and maybe find a new hobby (like cooking, haha).
