#Devruary Though I am sticking with Ren'Py and drawing for now due to convenience, I would really like to learn 3D modeling and animation to build a hybrid VN game someday!

This Devruary thing has been lots of fun! Here's hoping it comes back next year!


I have Blender on my computer right now, but I have yet to acquire the drive for all the work needed to successfully turn my 2d characters into 3d models, let alone animate them.

I'm a storyteller more than anything, and Ren'Py has been very relaxing in terms of programming and story building, so I plan to use it as a base for as many of my projects as possible. For projects after the Return to Eternity game, I am heavily considering blending Ren'Py's visual novel gameplay with other types such as open-world exploration and/or turn-based battle that fits the narrative. I also have no qualms about learning either Blender or Live2d to make more dynamic, three-dimensional sprite animations.

All in all, I hope my Devruary posts let you learn a little more about me as a dev, I have to say I kinda did! Good luck to all my fellow devs out there, and let's try to finish whatever we start!
