...thats all the work for today

the reason is for as of today, i will be doing a schedule where one day i do majority work on the admiratio stuff (while doing minimal work on PA: LE), and the other day i do majority work on PA: LE (while doing minimal work on the admiratio stuff)

you see, i love PA: LE, it holds a special place in my heart, but dammit does the admiratio stuff mean so, SO much more to me,

backstory time! i made the first 3 stories all in like 2021-2022 but then deleted them all cause they sucked (and another reason i dont wanna discuss, however the 3rd one was specifically removed cause it was exceptionally low effort and had a glitch that ruined a lot that i didnt wanna fix-kinda like PA: LE right now! only difference is im now more determined so i wont cancel the mod), i made the 4th one in 2022 but didnt delete it even though it was made around the time i deleted 2 and 3 (i deleted 1 later on) and the 5th one was completed later that year (IMPORTANT TO NOTE: SINCE THE ORIGINAL 3 ARE GONE FOREVER AND LOST TO TIME, STORIES 4 AND 5 SHOULD NOW BE CONSIDERED STORIES 1 AND 2, FROM NOW ON WHENEVER I SAY STORY 1/2 IT REFERS TO THE NEW ONES), a little after I finished the 2nd one i started production on the 3rd one, but it hasnt been finished yet, this is because one time when i was going back through the first story i realised it needed a LOT of fixing (as well as the second story), i initially did a crosswork between the 3rd story and the fixed first story, the fix for the first one initially started to fix minor visual errors but evolved into a full on remake, eventually i decided to pause the 3rd story so i could focus fully on the first one

you think that would mean everything is all fine and dandy, but heres the thing, i have gotten a EGREGIOUSLY low amount of work on the remake of the first story

i have done a frankly abominable amount of meandering in fact the remake of the first story is nearly TWO YEARS OLD as of the time of writing this article, and the story is still at the beginning of the actual conflict, it is FUCKING INSANE how bad of progress that is

what especially makes that bad is that this is the first story in a series of TEN STORIES! if i continue at this pace im gonna be way too old by the time the series is done to actually be happy about it, and i VERY CLEARLY do NOT want that to be the case, hell at this rate the heat death of the universe is gonna happen and im STILL gonna be working on the first story, i know that was sarcasm but point still stands

what also doesnt help is that im a perfectionist, meaning i want this series to be as good as possible, on one hand it certainly means the stories will be mostly guaranteed to be higher in quality then if i did the normal way, but on the other hand, it makes everything take so, so, so, SO MUCH LONGER, it ESPECIALLY doesnt help that im doing it all completely solo like PA: LE

this, my friend, is where PA: LE comes in

as much as i LOVE PA: LE, i feel i have been focusing TOO much on it and not devoting enough days to the admiratio stuff

now, as i keep saying, i love the admiratio stuff, but PA: LE also means a lot to me, and i will not be cancelling it

however, if i focus too much on the admiratio stuff, it means PA: LE will get far too little work, and i obviously cant let that happen

this is why this schedule is such a good idea, it ensures the best of both worlds

i get plently of work done on both the admiratio stuff, AND PA: LE

i know this probably might not be the best news to you fans of PA: LE right now, but trust me, youll still get plenty of work even if it is slightly less then usual

and one day, i plan on publishing these stories for you all to see, and all that hard effort will pay off (probably), i even hope to one day adapt them into cinematically realeased films, so if you ever see the stories as movies, go watch them in the cinemas (IF your intrested, im not pushing you if you aint)

so yeah, hope that explains it all, see ya

also forgot to add this initially but-

no, this isnt actually being implemented yet, just more stuff im putting into the backup folder, and it will stay that way until i actually create a new UTMT file, i will copy and paste this in every daily devlog (if they have work) at the bottom so everyone who sees this gets the picture, i will stop when i finally do create a new UTMT file
