Day 3: What moment surprised me?

There were a few moments that surprised me.

1 ) Jerry,

Honestly, I didn't paid too much attention to Jerry while playing the arcs until OFW and Arc 5. I'm like; "ohhhh. The Furry got Aura now."

2 ) Genzou and Orlam were dating??

I honestly thought that Genzou and Orlam just have a frenemy trope but nothing more! Until Arc 5 and the Last Dance, there were brief moments showing me that there was more to that. I'm also surprised that Orlam would even date someone who's been bullying me since childhood tho.

3 ) The Iggy Dolls.

Honestly, I played a few horror Visual Novel, so I prepared myself for a horror looking version of Iggy in Arc 5, at Gidgets route. Turns out it was just a doll version of Iggy. The relief I felt.

4 ) THE FUCKING TOMATO OMPA LOOMPAS-

BRO. Those little shits are the definition of looks can be deceiving because when I first played it I'm like, 'I'm going with the tomatoes. I mean, what could possibly go wrong??'

Fucking gets eaten after a few minutes later. So, yeah, I was about to commit a tomato massacre whenever seeing those little shits-

5 ) The Tree in Arc 5.

I mean. I was surprised about it in two parts. One, that it fucking killed Saydie, a baby. I was so so disgusted and shocked by this revelation.

But omfg. Two, after the tree had freaking pointed out the group's flaw it proceeds to go on and say; "But alas, I realised that, babies can't talk."

I'm like, "You just insulted the entire group but you didn't even know that babies couldn't talk. Are you a dumbass tree or what?-".

6 ) Finally, Saydie being the one guiding Iggy?

Honestly, I didn't really expect a baby to guide Iggy throughout the Arc. How constantly begging him to kill her. Like, I really didn't expect Saydie to help any of them out due to, you know, what happened to her physical form. Also, I've seen that sometimes a child's mind can easily be manipulated by an elder. So, I'm glad but surprised that the tree didn't even try to manipulate Saydie before transferring her soul/mind(?) into Iggy's body.

There were more twists and turns that had surprised me but these six were the mains sooo. 😅

Day 3

What was the biggest surprise or unexpected moment or twist for you while playing OW?

I'll tweak this for myself to be while working on OW haha. I probably couldn't count the number of times the story or chars took things in a different direction than I had originally planned in the game. But if I had to name the biggest... it would probably be Arc 4 in general.

Arc 4 was the first arc that started to veer wildly from the kind of Semi-Plan I had in my head for each arc. Arcs 1 and 2 came out mostly the same. Arc 3 started to veer a little bit (mostly in the extra little stuff that happened in between the larger moments). But Arc 4... almost nothing in Arc 4 went to plan. And the whole symbolism of The Ball being the same as what happened at After-Prom? And that whole build-up? Literally came out of nowhere. I still do not know how it worked out as well as it did and all just kinda fell into place LOL I think that's part of why I also like Arc 4 so much, because it was such a wild ride even for me. And I'm still shocked at how it turned out.

Second biggest surprise was definitely Jerry! Random one-off joke character in Arc 2 who I then brought back for Spooktober mostly because I thought it was quite silly. Then to become a major serious character in Arc 5? And it all somehow worked so well?? I could never in my wildest dreams have predicted that LOL Oh Jerry... you are one in a million.

How To Make Your First Visual Novel

I'm yet again in a talkative mood, and as someone who has made/helped make over ten visual novels, I figured I would be Qualified™ to talk about it!

Step One: Pick Your Fighter... er... Engine!

Deciding the game engine you want to work in is the first step to having a game! Ren'Py is the most popular, free-to-use engine for visual novels, with tons of add-ons done by creators such as Devil Spiδεr and Feniks. Other commonly-used engines include Naninovel (an extension to Unity) and RPG Maker.

Step Two: Wait, What Goes In The Engine?

Whodathunk that for a visual novel, you need a story and visuals!

Clip Studio Paint has a series on making visual novel sprites, though any old art software works for making visual novel art. As for writing, I highly recommend Better Fountain, an extension to Visual Studio Code which enables to you to write in Fountain syntax. For music, I recommend Audiostock which gives access to hundreds of thousands of songs with their subscription service.

Step Three: But What Do I Do With All Of This?

Spoilers, your first visual novel... probably won't be your best. You have to make it to break the first timer's curse. Study your favorite visual novels, listen to other developers' processes, learn more about art/writing/music/etc., and remember that it doesn't have to be perfect. In a year of making visual novels, my work went from the left image, to the right:

You can do it too! Now go out there, and make visual novels!

🌍✨ A Voice from Gaza: Fighting for Hope ❤️‍🩹

Hi, my name is Mosab , and I’m from Gaza. Life here has been harder than I could ever imagine, but today I’m sharing my story with hope in my heart, because your kindness has already given us so much strength.

This journey hasn’t been easy. The war has taken 25 family members from us—25 beautiful souls we loved deeply. Their laughter, their presence, their love… all of it is gone, leaving behind memories that are both precious and painful. Every day, I carry the weight of their loss, but I also carry their spirit, which gives me the strength to keep going.

Our Journey So Far

When I first reached out, I couldn’t have imagined we’d make it this far. Your support has been a light in these difficult times, and we are so deeply grateful for every single contribution.

But the road ahead is still challenging. Every day, we’re reminded of how much we’ve lost and how much we still need to rebuild.

Here’s what life in Gaza looks like for my family right now:

🏠 Safety: The uncertainty of tomorrow weighs heavily on us.

😢 Loss: The absence of the 25 family members we’ve lost is a pain we carry every moment.

💔 Dreams on Hold: The future feels so far away when survival takes all our strength.

How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line Even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference:

$5 may seem small, but for us, it’s a little relief, a moment of comfort, and a reminder that kindness still exists. ❤️

My name is Mosab Elderawi, and I am a survivor of the war in Gaza. Life as I knew it has been completely destroyed. I have lost my home, my

Why Your Support Matters Your kindness isn’t just about helping us meet our goal—it’s about reminding us that we’re not alone in this fight. It’s about hope. It’s about survival. And it’s about giving my family a chance to rebuild our lives, even in the face of unimaginable loss.

Thank you for helping us get this far. Your generosity and compassion have already brought us closer to a better tomorrow, and for that, I’m endlessly grateful.

With all my love and gratitude,

Mosab and Family ❤️

HUH????

HOOWWWWW??? AND WHY??? 😭😭...

Was it because of the gunshot sound effects? 🤔

If not, WHYYYYY???? 😭

Our Alice; Chapter 1 - Fall little Iggy, Fall (click here to read this abomination)

Ello! Quick note, this is just the first part of Chapter 1. I had decided to split chapter 1 and future chapters into small parts, due to each of them being TOO RIDICOULOUSLY LONG.

Day 19: Has Ow have a positive impact?

When I first played Our Wonderland, I was incredibly sick. Like very sick. VERY SICK. Like, 'My bones are weak and I can't walk and talk' sick....Also, I was going through a burn out and I hadn't drawn anything for ages. Like since last year.

But while playing Our Wonderland, it gave me a large amount of comfort during the rough time and I always have something to look forward to whenever laying in bed, acting like a sick Victorian child.

Thanks to Our Wonderland, I made some new friends, connected best to my other friends (who I haven't seen or talked to in ages) and got me to be more understanding and such.

Despite me making quite an awkward first impression to the OW community, literally y'all are nothing but kind. (Or maybe I've been in shitty communities before ;3;)

But yeah, Our Wonderland did have a large positive impact on my life, and I do not regret playing it >:D

Despite me wheezing, coughing, staying up (somehow) for 24 hour-
