Hey guys! HaxDev here with another game journal. This time, I'm pretty much just talking about the game's Steam page. Read on if you're interested!

Life-wise, my second job is pretty good. Unlike my previous job (that I don't feel like mentioning) the owner acknowledges that I have to wake up early in the morning for work. Therefore, I'm not scheduled until 11pm EVERY SINGLE DAY. (Yes, this really happened at my old job. Working until 11 and then waking up at 3:30 is not a fun time.) I never want to experience that amount of sleep deprivation ever again. Anyways, the food there is good, too. It's my favorite traditional pizza that I've tried down here. For flatter pizza, DeLuca's is the best.

Okay, game time! I made the game's Steam page and assets this week. Here's all the images.

Do they look cool? I hope so! I was trying to go for a traditional JRPG feel for the promotional art. I'm thinking about doing them for the cutscenes as well... kinda like how it is in Touhou. It would take me waaaaaaay less time to do them than if I painted them all, so yeah! Here's a Touhou cutscene for reference.

You can see that it's meant to emulate a watercolor sort of style. I really like this, and it's much faster than painting. Of course, I'll finish the backgrounds more than it is here, but the general concept is what I'm going to go for. I draw my comics the same way, so I'm already used to it somewhat. I think it'll look pretty nice!

I made a video showing the Steam page, as well as some more art I did for the game. As of now, the link for the Steam page isn't working (apparently it takes a day?) but I can see it on my end, so that's what I'm showing.
