Hoo mama, has this been a weird month! Probably my worst month this year by a signifigant degree, but also in turn maybe the most productive ive been as far as devving JH9KD goes? well, maybe thats reductive to say because for all of the (not insignifigant) amount of work ive put into it leading up to actually sitting down and making any visuals, i havent really been able to show anything for it when all of that content is nothing more than writing in a script. one of the biggest routes is FINISHED front to back now though so thats gotta count for something progresswise. regardless, ive been really excited to make this edition of yaoi news so that i can finally show the world a sneak peek of one of my favorite new characters so far...

...YURITRON666!!!

if yaoitron is an oc born of deviantart, then i imagine yuritron is a character who wouldve resided on, i dunno, tegaki E? (i promise thats an equally poignant reference but i cant promise everyone will recognize it... i promise it was a whole thing of the late aughts/early 10s... just think of her as a nightcore anime girl cover image you dont get it). i spend a lot of time trying to figure out her design because i wanted to do justice to the women of the world... i say, as i shed a single tear looking sagely into the distance. i really like her fuckass rpgmaker indie game ass design philosophy mostly spearheaded by her black white red color scheme. so fucking okegom or Off or whatever. sheds a second tear on my other eye. i hope the world can appreciate her too. her whole thing is that she lowkey fws like nightcore and cannibalism and shit. shes only a side character but i want to make sure i get her aura right. For women. worldwide.

Anyways, ive eben able to make at least 1 asset almost every day this month for the game which is super great, especially considering it wasnt even the only game i was making this month..!??! thats right, i made another visual novel within the span of this last month thats already released for the world to play! theres no obligation, but if youre interested in whatever i make in general youre free to check it out. its called Soft Toy Surrogate... though id like to preface that its fairly tonally distinct from job hunting 9000, so no worries if it isnt your thing!

Since i dont really engage socially in public spaces online, JH9KD's development is only ever really revealed in any degree on this webpage. i absolutely prefer it like this (anything akin to a jobhunting social media profile or discord would be unbelievably stressful, obtrusive and maybe even parasocial so i would never make something like that), but it does mean that i dont usually actively get fanfare for whatever im specifically actively doing at any given moment devwise. doing long stretches of work without anyone to gratify it can be demotivating on its own, so i have a habit of vanity searching on all manner of social media to see if anyones talking about the game. theres only ever really like, (1) total fanart on each social media platform, but im always shocked and delighted to see it. Anyways, the point of this tangent is that id really like to add a little fanart showcase section on this webpage to give a little spotlight to whatever anyones made! its not something id like to necessarily promise bceause i dont want to have any expectations set apon this webpage... just something that i think might be fun if theres anything to discuss as far as fanworks go.

This is the (1) fanart I found on Tiktok. i just really wanted to talk about it here because i havent really been able to stop thinking about it since i found it, it genuinely might be one of my favorite fanarts anyone has made. i really cant help myself from smiling when i look at it. isnt it genuienly just, awesome? they really nailed the aesthetics so well. i cant stop thinking about how they drew his expression too... it feels so suitable and fun to see him look so crazy, showing off his shark teeth like that. doesnt he have a kind of flandre scarlet feeling to him here? ehe... the maid dress just looks so awesome in this too! i love how scruffy the bow looks. its really fitting, isnt it? something about the drawing is really distinctly dynamic and full of life and i cant help but have a fondness for it. from what i understand, i believe the creator drew this picture alongside a song they made? im pretty sure its attached within the same video as the picture appears in. its a good song! i encourage you to give them support for the music if you have a tiktok account (i do not.)

anyways, thats all! sorry for rambling a bit. thanks a lot if you took the time to read this.
