So a couple weeks ago, I decided to go amongst my (probably too many) platforms, and poll for a demo among the ones that had given the most interest to the Eternal Frenemies Project. The three main sites where the polls would count are my Discord Server, my Tumblr, and here.

I did the Discord one first as a "qualifier", because it has the biggest concentration of people that have been supportive of the project over the years. I put a poll up with two choices - "whatever" and "yes". I would only consider polling elsewhere - and by extension the demo itself - if enough people responded "yes" within the first week. To my surprise, I got six votes in favor in a few days (the server is usually pretty dead, hence the surprise).

On to Tumblr and GJ. I decided to poll Tumblr a week after GJ because of the different limits on how long the poll could last (GJ has 14 days, Tumblr has 7 days) and I wanted the to end in the same 24-hour period. For both of these, I included a "yes", "no", and a "whatever" as a valid opinion (and a way to determine how likely it was for people to be like "oh look a poll, I'll just vote whatever cos I don't care to get into it" or like "i wonder what this is, lemme check out some posts....ehh not interested and i feel like voting to voice that").

As you can see on my page, "yes" is in the lead for GameJolt and Discord, which leaves Tumblr (which only has six hours and some change left to go)! "Yes" is in the lead right now, but there are times when the activity on my page shoots up unexpectedly so I'm gonna keep my eye out to the last.

Looking forward to sharing the total results with you all later!!

So I made this helpful little chart back when I made the storyboard to canonize the age range of the "Center 10" eternals of the Eternal Frenemies story!

The "REWIND shorts" refer to the Gacha Series I made to flesh out their school days(more in article)

This software, called Music Maker Jam, is how I make #music for my games and videos!

What you see here is the main menu theme of the Return to Eternity Visual Novel Game!

Please give the #demo a play to hear this OST (links and software info in article)

There is a unique frustration about fixing a single buggy menu button taking ALL DOGGONE DAY...

...but AT LAST, the logic building for the entire game is done!

All that's left is to make the rest of the game's assets and paste 'em in! (update in article)

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

Introducing the other half of the full game's "secret scene system" - the "origin choice" mechanic!

On tap for #ScreenshotSaturday, we have the CG gallery! Aiming for at least 20-40 images for the full game, but 8 are available in the #demo, so go play!

PS: Players who get all four demo achievements should then see a bonus CG on the main menu screen...

Now that the demo's been out for a month and some change, I can finally introduce him here.

You'll barely see him in the game, but he is very important to the webcomic and a project as a whole.
