'Fathoms Of Fate' Update 11.05.25
General | Posted a month agoHey FA. I'm terrible at updating you.
Anyway, I've been quietly working away at that visual novel game idea I vaguely mentioned in my last journal nearly a year ago. So where is that?
Well, it has a title now! 'Fathoms Of Fate'
I have a Patreon set up. There's nothing in the way of rewards at the moment, but I do have plans for the future (Demo testing, slots for self insert background NPC cameos, stickers, ect). Updates and content will NOT be paywalled in any way. When I have updates for the game, it will be shared publicly on Patreon, as well as here, Bluesky, and on my Telegram channel.
Check it out if you'd like to keep tabs there or wish to support me. < Link
I wrote a small musical track and took a small crash coarse on copyright stuffs related to music. Using FL Studio and some recorded samples from my synth collection. 'Duskreach Melody' may change or get rewritten later, but this is what I experimented with.
Visually, I have a rough draft map of the main setting for the game, Duskreach. < Link
Also, I have shared a WIP concept art / reference sheet of one of the playable protagonists, Cyrus. < Link
I'm still working out the writing and story pathways so that they all make sense. Started scripting the intro to Cyrus's playthrough so I can begin to tinker with GoDot and begin learning that aspect of the project.
It's a slow grind, but I am steadily making progress. Despite working full time and dashing on the side, I try to commit at least 30 mins daily to working on Fathoms of Fate. IT IS in motion, it's just slow lol. Any support is greatly appreciated and I hope y'all are as excited as I am to bring it to life.

Chasing a dream, trying to do more!
General | Posted a year agoI have officially started working on the writing portion of my gay fantasy visual novel project.
Working title right now is "Fathoms of Fate". Current outline has 2 playable protagonists that are newcomers with very different pasts that led them to secluded but lively village of Duskreach. There are 6 bachelors that the player will encounter and have the potential to get to know and grow with, possibly sparking passion and love. Additionally, each protagonist will have an opportunity with an 7th bachelor exclusive to their playthrough.
A very general outline of things and much I need to plan to make cohesive, but I'm determined to put in the work. I've always enjoyed writing when I used to do RP and I absolutely adore visual novels with intriguing stories beyond just gratification of porn of their favorite character. Don't get me wrong, I definitely want that kind of payoff in the game, but I also want to make a story and characters that can keep you interested and immersed along the way and after the post nut clarity lol.
I do want to try and work a 3rd possible protagonist option for variety and making relatable characters, but I'm stumped on options to introduce a 3rd convincing protag, as well as an appropriate exclusive bachelor.
I'll post concept art n such in due time, but writing will take priority first, which I probably won't share in any form unless it's a working demo.
Questions, requests, or suggestions would be appreciated! Possibly may consider bringing on friends to work on this with me, but I don't have a plan currently to profit from the game, if I ever decide to try to. Time will tell and I'll be learning along the way. Right now, it's a passion project I'll just be doing in my spare time.

Feeling Motivated / Concerted Efforts
General | Posted a year agoHello!
Most of ya'll who currently follow this account are folks and friends I've met from places all over the net in my inconsistent history of being an active artist in the community. I just want to say thank you and the support has always been appreciated.
A lot in my personal life, I did things that others told me were best, low risk, etc. In retrospect, I was "doing well", but also led me into living an unhappy and very demotivated life. Work ate majority of my time and energy, leaving me only enough time to myself to rest. I felt like I had no outlet to be myself at work or at my home; which was living in a deteriorating trailer on my oppressive and paranoid family's land out in the empty countryside of North Carolina.
I quit my soul sucking job and left NC. Now, sitting in my apartment in Arkansas, I'm getting settled in, excited to see and experience new scenes and people. I'm starting a new chapter in my life and with my wonderful and supportive partner at my side. I feel very motivated and liberated honestly. I want to dive back into my art and creating. I want to push my craft further and try doing commissioned work again. I want to explore writing and simple game development as well, and in general get into creating stuff for others to enjoy while making some kind of living. I do plan to find traditional employment to make ends meet, but now with much more respect for myself, my time, and aspirations.
Currently working on a couple of OCs for adopting out and writing T.O.S.s and figuring out a price sheet. Will post and update as things get worked out. Also working on updating accounts with artwork and information on BlueSky, Telegram, ToyHou.se, Kofi, and of course here on Furaffinity. I deleted my X / Twitter account and I don't plan to make another account there.
