This month I focused on making the logo for the next game, because we are getting closer and closer to the announcement, and I do need title and logo for that.
The logo
For the time being, I’m not sure I want to share too much, so I added the logo and a 3-minute timelapse of the making of the logo that took 21 hours to make (yes I recorded 21 hours of inkscape footage) as an exclusive post for the patreon members.
Don’t worry, it’ll be announced pretty soon, but I want to reveal everything at the same time.
Wait… But since it’s what took me most of my time this month… I don’t have a lot to show for this monthly update, right?
Except, I also worked a lot on my drawings again!
Drawing improvements
As I said previously, I’m practicing a lot to improve my drawing abilities in the hopes that I’ll be able to use my own drawings in my next game.
At some point this month I thought I found a good style for the game:
But turns out, nope, I still need to improve and search for other styles.
I did make my best drawings from reference up to this day, and that gave me a lot of confidence:
I’ll continue working on my drawings, I think there’s a long way to go still, but I can see that I clearly improved over the past 6 months, so it’s encouraging.

New minigame
Oh and I did add a new minigame to my game, we finally have 10 minigames. This time it’s a bit of subversion of expectations, you just have to watch the sunset, that’s it!
I also worked on the game’s minigame selection screen. Again, I’ll share more once the game is actually announced.
Some other stuff I want to share
I worked on Fallacy Quiz a bit to make it easier to work on the text content, I hope I’ll be able to explain why soon :).
I got a walking pad to make the long days in front of the screen a little healthier, I’ll tell you what I think about it next month. For now, I like it a lot.
I got multiple games I wanted to get for a long time to have fun, but also to get inspired. Caravan Sandwitch, the plucky squire and also the latest super monkey ball game.
I played a good chunk of Caravan Sandwitch so far and it’s a really interesting experience. I like the vibe a lot.
It was a short month for my game dev work because I had a lot of other things to do. I give Maths lessons and had a busy month on that front, with a new student, and I also worked on other stuff, that would be boring to talk about here.

December already started and with the end of the year celebrations it might be a short month too. I hope future me will be able to have a lot to tell you about next month’s achievements. Thanks for reading, Happy Holidays, see you at the end of the month!
(I’m writing this in a hurry because I want to get it out at least at Dec. 10th, those updates are supposed to be each month lol)
