Patreon Monthly Update for July

Friday, July 21st, 2017

Heya!  Although it’s not quite the end of the month yet, I wanted to make this round-up post before July actually ended, because of the time-sensitive bonus that is only relevant before July 31st~

Here is what I have been up to in only the few weeks it has been since diving full-force into creating games!!:

  • The screenshot above shows my most recent update.  If you view the post itself, the screenshot is actually animated, and shows the scene in action!!  There are a whole bunch of colorful little animated icons that serve to show what emotions the character is speaking in a cute and interactive way~
  • In just yesterday’s post, I had most of the icons drawn but not animated yet!
  • From Sketch to Screenshot – This post details how rough and messy my work-in-progress sketches are, where I rough out how I want the UI to look and even scribble incredibly silly placeholder characters LOL.  It’s available to view side-by-side with the finished version of the same screen, just to see the difference!
  • Playing with Particles: Glowy Lights & Fireflies – Fireflies always look so magical in games!  This post, which also has an animated demonstration, shows off how I create pretty, soft, and glowing lights for background detail.
  • Dialog Boxes & Typewriter Text – Another animated demonstration, this time showing the dynamic message boxes and text that appears within them.  It’s a minor effect, but one that is massively engaging for the player!  There is also a sneak peek at some actual code in this post.
  • Animating Game Characters – This post, which includes an animated demonstration AND a look at the code behind it, shows how I get my art work to move around and look alive in a game.
  • Drawing a Game Character – Finally, this post, which is visible for everyone so that they may get a glimpse at what kind of content is available in the rest of the feed, provides an example of how my art work grows from placeholder characters to full-color designs for the final form of the project. 🌟

There are actually a couple of other progress update posts that I didn’t even list just now – you’ll have to check the activity feed over on Patreon to see the rest!

If you’re interested in watching these projects come to life, as well as playing demonstrations as soon as playable builds are available, you’ll need to become a Patron!  Please consider doing so – it is a small investment that is non-figuratively life-changing for me, allowing me to pursue this and create cute and positive games as I have always dreamed of doing.

AND!!!  If I reach my first goal of $150 before July ends, I’ll be able to put those earnings toward upgrading my Game Maker license to allow finished games to be available for Mac and Ubuntu users as well as PC, in addition to being able to make browser-based games that do not require downloading at all and would be available to play freely~!

💟 Thank you so much for taking the time to read my summary of what I’ve been up to over this month, and if you’d like to help in any form, consider the links below to either become a patron or just to donate once through Paypal any small amount~

Travel to Japan for an Okinawa Holiday! (Naha & Southern Okinawa)

Wednesday, July 19th, 2017

After covering Northern and Central Okinawa earlier in the week, here is a post to wrap-up the lower little part of it~

Okinawa is a good place to make your Japan-traveling dreams come true, because there are historical and traditional sections of it in addition to fun, modern shopping locations as well as plenty of BEACH!!  It’s also just an all-around beautiful place, as the photos here show.

Naha

Shuri Castle

In the days of the Ryukyu Kingdom, this castle was a political and cultural center.
Now, you can visit what remains of it to learn its story.

The Stone-Paved Road of Kinjo-cho

Beginning from Shuri Castle mentioned above, this walkway paved with Ryukyu limestone
will lead you through beautiful scenery to enjoy if you decide to take a stroll along it. c:

Kokusai Dori

This shopping district is right near the Naha airport, so you can enjoy it right when you arrive
or up until you’re about to leave~  It boasts modern shopping and name brands
in addition to traditional crafts.

Southern Okinawa (Itoman/Tomigusuku/Nanjo)

Valley of Gangala

This is a subtropical forest vibrant with nature and life!

Gyokusendo Caves

There is an Okinawa World Theme Park, and the entrance to these caves is located inside.
Ryukyu limestone is found in abundance here, in these mysterious caves that have
existed for more than 300,000 years.

Travel to Japan for an Okinawa Holiday! (Northern & Central Okinawa)

Monday, July 17th, 2017

Okinawa is a series of islands to the south-west of Japan’s “main island.”  In addition to its historical significance, it is also famous for its tropical climate, with tons of beaches and even coral reefs to visit!

If you have dreams of traveling to Japan, Okinawa is a good introductory destination, since not only would you enjoy yourself on the beaches and shopping, but you can also pay tribute to and appreciate its significance in history.

This first post covers a few things to do each in the northern and central regions of Okinawa!

Northern Okinawa (Onna/Nago/Motobu/Nakijin)

Okinawa Chunauri Aquarium

This is inside the Ocean Expo Park mentioned a bit below. c:
I love visiting aquariums, the water and beautiful creatures swimming around it
just feels so peaceful and relaxing!

Kouri Bridge

This bridge is 1,960m long, and offers views of the ocean on both sides
while you are on your way to or from Kouri Island!

Ocean Expo Park

This is a sightseeing area with multiple attractions including beaches
and the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium!

Central Okinawa (Ginowan/Chatan/Okinawa City/Uruma/Yomitan)

Cape Manza

These beautiful cliffs are actually coral!  The view is of the East China Sea.
Many people travel here to see it during sunrise or sunset.

Bios on the Hill

This botanical park is pretty big, and allows visitors to experience
the ecosystem of Okinawa throughout each season.
You can enjoy walking on footpaths or ride a boat or water buffalo-drawn cart!

Araha Beach

This beach is 600m long and is located in Araha Park –
a good place to find a hotel so that you’re close by!
