LYCORIS
project Lycoris reload: START!!!
Hi! ............. after *checks* 2 whole years! :3
So I may have lied about the comic or light novel ;w; (I figured out they weren't exactly my forte...)
BUT to the nonexistent lycoris followers . if . anyone even bothers to read this .
First of all I would like to apologize for how clickbaity this game is. It was my first school group project when I was 16 and unfortunately didn't have enough time nor very cooperative teammates. I don't blame them, this was a very ambitious idea for a first game and short project, and no matter how simplified, it would've been a pain to make back then ;w; I originally only published because we needed to show the itch.io page to get a passing grade, I never thought it would get enough attention for people other than classmates to actually comment and *ask* for updates!
I have given this a LOT of thought, and considering all the research I had done for the storyline and worldbuilding of this game originally, I still find myself attached to this project years later. It is very dear to me to the point that even now as a uni student, my essays are all about the themes I intended for this game to tackle when I had 6 weeks and a dream(Dissociative identity disorders, guilt, Jungian psychology, layers of the subconscious mind)
I'm constantly thinking about this game, and the few comments I have received about players being interested in this game despite it just being a floating character png on a map gave me a LOT of motivation.
After constantly telling myself that picking this project back up would be pointless, I have decided I will dedicate myself to reworking this!! (crickets..........)
Though, I *am* a uni student pursuing a concept art degree that is renowned for being exhausting, and currently looking for a part time job. With such a hectic schedule and the fact that I have decided to solo-dev this with practically no experience in programming, it may take several years as I want to push out a complete game with all the ideas that have been simmering in my head for the past two years. My art has improved significantly along with my understanding of psychology and I want the game to reflect this.
I doubt anyone will be reading these, but I will start making regular dev logs to keep myself motivated! Kinda like a blog :3
Please stay tuned!! I really mean it this time.

I am reading this!! I'm so freaking excited I truly have no words, I will be the biggest fan AGH i really am so excited you decided to continue working on this! If there's one person that will absolutely read every update it will definitely be me, you got this!! :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! i never thought anyone would wait for this let alone be excited for it T-T tysm for your support <3
notes: ... this reminds me that i found out the background art (not the pixel ones) was most likely traced or at least heavily referenced from anime backgrounds (i believe?) by my classmate so i'll be removing it as soon as i make my own ! T-T
also i'll probably make the downloadable content just a compilation of concept art like an art book once i have enough so i dont keep disappointing people since i saw there's still occasional downloads every other week
im thinking about adding a new devlog every 3 months maybe so i'm not constantly updating on anything too mundane...? and i guess the progress will be more prominent that way too
ok turns out i can just hide the downloadable content so i have done that and removed the background art !! that means i can start the new concept art as soon as i finish some stuff im drawing for my friend ;w;
I'M SO HAPPY THIS IS GETTING UPDATES! absolutely take your time on it! as someone who is also in uni for a concept art degree.. I feel you, but again I'm so glad! this project really piqued my interest and I'm excited to see it grow :) goodluck!
TYSM AND GOOD LUCK WITH UNI !! this concept art stuff is so hard... T-T
Im acting like anyone cares about this at all LMAOO but truly I'm making these logs because I see them as a form of motivation. Re-reading them will make feel accountable in case I slack off or try to backtrack
