Just an update on what's going on for those who are interested. I've been working on HML and ITAV, but HML is still a WiP as the latest chapter is in a weird place. As a side note: I've been making a Visual Novel for fun. It's bare-bones, as I'm learning Unity atm, but so far, it's been rather fun.
Quarantine gang!
You have my attention... :>
I want to read that novel.
What can I say, good luck with your project!
interesting, didn't know unity could be used for that. Can't wait to see it when it is done.
Glad to see your staying safe during these times.

Lol, well, the build right now is mostly cringe-worthy placeholder dialogue. I just write whatever to fill the void as I learn new systems—very anime protagonist atm.

Yeah, most people know Unity for it's 3D, but it has a rather powerful 2D engine too. I may even try my hand at a proper 2d/3d game after I learn all I can about making a VN.
You forgot the option where they punch Celestia lol.
But seriously this looks cool.
U got my attention
Mmm... I am interested!
Yes please :)
Thanks for the info. I'm glad to know you're ok. I look forward to the updates and the Visual Novel sounds interesting. I can't wait to see the fruits your efforts bear.
Glad to hear you're chipping away at things. Also, interested to see where you go with a visual novel.
Take however long you need, i'm just happy you're writing again. HML and its predecessors were all very entertaining stories that I wish had had a continuation. The visual novel sounds interesting, just be cautious since I could see something like that quickly leading to strange places.
Neat. Steam when?
If you're a perfectionist, please try not to fall into the same death spiral as Piro from Megatokyo. ;) Otherwise, go you! I'm into VNs myself, so getting a cross between VN and MLP would be something I'd be very interested in. ;)
I'm a bit late to the party for this one, but let me say that that's awesome! I hope that whatever you're working on, be it story, VN, or otherwise, you're enjoying yourself fully.
Let's be real here, we all need something fun to do at home nowadays.
Super excited that you've gone back to writing stuff here. Take your time. We'll wait.
And I'm curious about this VN too.
Did anything ever come of this? I got to thinking about VNs recently, and there aren't really any that feature Celestia (not counting that one anthro one).

Not really. I learned the ins and outs of creating a VN in Unity but didn't have much reason to actually develop a full VN. I've since moved on to learning how to draw, though perhaps in the future, these two things will merge, but as of now, it was just a fun thing I learned.
