UPDATE 19/8/2024!


Hi, guys! What's up? 
How did your week go? Mine can't go any better~
Yesterday was my birthday and when I stepped back to look where I am today, I can't help but to smile. 2024 is officially my busiest, happiest, the most grateful I've ever been, and the most productive year of my life! 

With Bermuda being finished, I thought I'd feel empty. But on the contrary, with how much feedbacks I've been receiving, I've never felt so alive and loved! >///< we've been through thin and thick together and I think it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say we're growing up together--heck, how long has it been? While developing Winged Ones and Bermuda, it should be around 10+ years, yes? 

You gave me so many things; supporting me to do what I love, helping me pay the bills through Indiegogo & Patreon--but most importantly, I dare say, you gave me a purpose in life; something to look forward to everyday and I can't thank you enough... Okay, I'm getting mushy now, I hope I didn't make you cringe x'D I do hope my feelings reach you though. Let's keep walking & work hard together, okay? ^///^

With that said, office work has been quite demanding last week, but I did a sketch for Indiegogo supporters' Exclusive Wallpaper! Here's a sneak peek for you~ 


Besides the Indiegogo backers, I'll show the full preview and the finished version later to my $5 and up Patrons on Patreon--but I don't think I'll sell it on itch.io, because it's supposed to be special >_<; it's not much, but I do wish I can give back something to those who have supported me for so long! 

Alright, I'll stop here for today, I've written a lot x'D
As always, thank you for sparing some time to read my updates! Stay safe, eat your meals, rest well, and let's keep working hard together!
xoxo,

SweetChiel

P.S. I almost forgot--can I take a small break this week? I want to catch up to my webtoons & definitely rewatch Makoto Shinkai's movies~

Happy belated birthday, Sweetchiel! Seeing your progress and accomplishments warms my heart and ahhh it's really been a journey, hasn't it? You're like the most committed developer I know who always posts weekly updates despite your busy circumstances. Also can't believe it's been more than 6 years since I played Nusantara! I was still in grade school back then, but here I am now, playing Bermuda with my first fulltime job paycheck, and I'm thorougly enjoying the game and aahhhhh the nostalgia is crazy XD So proud of you and looking forward to your next game?? Maybe? Hehe

Thanks, Elseth!
Yes, we're literally growing up together and it makes me happy to see we're not losing our inner-child ^///^ let's keep working hard and have fun together!
And yup, I have plans for my next project, but there are lots of things for me to do first, like fulfilling my Indiegogo's pledges & publishing Bermuda on Steam, so stay tuned <3

Happy late-birthday, Eeeee! I hope it went smooth and amazingly. Just get some good rest and definitely take a break to relax, catch up on what you want etc. A mix of work and breaks when you need/want them is the key to not burning out, after all. :3

Thanks, Seraiden!
I had a wonderful birthday, it's just that I feel like I haven't had enough sleep x'D and there are lots of webtoons I'd like to read! So thank you for being so understanding <3

Understandable, webtoons're addicting. Also if you need another addiction and haven't read it already... School Bus Graveyard is so friggin' cool.

Oh noooo, there goes my to-read-list. It's getting longer and longer x'D

what

happy belated birthday!

and what (2) i just know now that bermuda has been released! i think im gonna wait for the steam release if u dont mind!

thanks for the hardwork, chiel! wow ive been waiting for this since 2018 if im not wrong. holy shit

Thanks, KrisAkane! >///<
And no problem at all! Please take your time--it's still a bit far in the future though. I still need to finish the exclusive wallpaper and sketches for the Indiegogo pledges. Then, I will have to check out Ren'Py's newest steam library & will probably have to update my Ren'Py to the newest version... I can only hope there will be no errors popping up in the newest version Q_Q 

Afterwards, I will need to prepare banners & images for steam achievement system + testing steam codes again like I did with Winged Ones, so yup, it's still quite far in the future >_<;

And yes! 2018 sounds right, holy cow. We're really here now in 2024, aren't we? x'D

I think you deserve a break! 

PS I saw you finished and instantly had to buy the game and walk through <3

Thank you, StarburstSky!
OMG, please take your time and thank you for being so patient with me through the years and when I was fixing the bugs >_<

I look forward to hear your thoughts, but if you need me, I'll be here!

Happy birthday!  And congratulations! I really enjoyed Bermuda Triangle.  I look forward to whatever you create next.

Thank you as always, princessbarb21! <3
Still have lots to do before I can move on to my next project but I'm fired up! x'D Stay tuned and I hope you're doing awesome over there! Don't forget to take some rest though~

Happy birthday! ( o˘◡˘o) ┌iii┐ヽ(・∀・)ノ

Best wishes, love and happiness! ( ´ ∀ `)ノ~ ♡

P.S.: Of course you should take your time to enjoy life, experience new things, and get inspired.
