WEEKLY POST - March 16th 2025 - Baked Gobbo

Hey everybody!

I would preface this weekly post by explaining that I've had a bit of a rough week as I'm now pretty sure I'm going through a burn out, because of just how much work I've been doing on my computer for the past decade, and how much work I've been putting into my game since June of last year.

So this week, on Wednesday, out of the blue, my body went "nope" and I suddenly became unable to sleep. Yeah, you'd think it would've translated into something like "I can't look at a screen without hurting" or something, but no.

I just haven't had a good night sleep since Wednesday. I'm not used to being an insomniac, so being fully conscious several nights in a row, unable to stop thinking about things, switching side to side in bed, that was not on my bingo card for this year. Also, lemme tell you, counting sheep, that's bullshit!

Thursday and Friday, I was legitimately feeling like a zombie, unable to walk straight because of insane headaches, brain feeling like the clapper inside a bell, banging around the inside of my skull... I nearly faceplanted in my apartment and I bonked my head on a door at one point.

Now I'm under some sort of aspirin so I'm a bit better, but my brain functions are cloudy and slow. The best way I can describe the way I feel is this:

It's a wonder that I was able to do the things I set out to do this week in this condition (not just the VN/Patreon stuff but even my other IRL responsibilities) without accidentally tripping on my own feet and yeeting myself out the window.

SO as previewed in the video, Johan's sprite is animated. He's a bit uncanny around the eyes, and I will see if I can improve that. I am however happy with this thing of being able to independently replacing arms.

Aside from that, my fellow Hobz & Gobz will vote on a design for Dr. Elise Dubois.

Next week, while the poll will be running with its little legs, I'll focus on some background art for the science lab.

That being said, I will now proceed to shove my mouth with plant-based sleeping pills to force myself to sleep, hoping this will fix the issue.
