More like weeks lol. In short: still writing. well over 60k words now, woohoo! It is slightly annoying and mostly amusing to watch GoogleDocs slowly break down as I make progress. It refuses to give me live word-count updates and struggles with grammar corrections. Fortunately, there are extensions ...

*Just posting to let anyone looking know that I am not dead, just very distracted. Progress is steady! I'll edit with more ramblings in the next couple of days.

Oops, missed a week entirely. It's just as well, nothing terribly exciting and I was sick for part of it. I now have well over 30k words down, continuing to make steady progress. As always I'd like to be faster, but in the end this is still a hobby for me and I have the rest of life to deal with. Th...

Another 5% towards the draft! It's still very early, but now that I have a bit of writing out of the way we may as well see how our initial estimates were looking. As a reminder, 250k words in total, ~30k words per route with a 10k cushion. By progress is rather vague to measure in anything but word...

Now updating every other week. Progress will be consistent but if I have the urge to write I will want to put that towards writing the script. Also, progress in these writing stages will be uninteresting for the most part, at least to begin with. ~2% towards a complete first draft! I feel I could be...

72% conceptualized. I don't know how quick future progress will be on that front, it could either take a while or I may have a burst of inspiration. Either way, no real rush. Next priority is continuing on basic Ren'Py programming lessons and writing to give myself something to practice on. I have a...

Now healthy again! I have begun the absolute basics of figuring out Ren'Py and hey, it it much easier than I thought it would be. I took a couple of programming classes years ago and apparently some of it stuck with me after all this time. Bug Gods now technically exists! In a faint, primordial stat...

Another boring update. Evidently I am still sick, which has somewhat limited progress, but I was able to move past another barrier. 1 step back, 2 steps forwards so to say. I had not been sure quite what to do with one of the routes, Scorpion. I was initially thinking a cyberpunk heist which sounds ...

Bleh, I got a cold and unrelated stuff came up, excuses, excuses, etc. Apologies to my (probably 2, at most) many fans. But progress! Over halfway done with planning! Almost running out of reasons to procrastinate and do some actual work! Exciting stuff. One of you even messaged me about writing, wh...

Boring Update Next week for beetles, I'm fleeing sleepy. I was able to make a lot of planning progress, especially for the ending. Interestingly, I will probably finish planning out the final route before all of the others even though it will ultimately be the most complicated to write given all th...

Practical update: another roughly 5% towards completion of our planning stage. Honestly more than I expected since I had a bit of a hurdle to overcome. The first 3/8 chapters of each route are almost entirely planned out. These chapters have been fairly straightforward as the routes up to that point...

Bee Bees seem to be the second most popular bugs of myth, second only to spiders. It is readily apparent why. Most bugs/insects have invaluable ecological purpose but these purposes tend to remain in the background, at least from a human point of view. Mosquitoes, for example, are apparently pollin...

Bug Gods Updates every other Monday(ish) Updated whenever I remember, lol. Reach me here or on Discord if you dare . An exceedingly ambitious cyberpunk visual novel about bugs, gods, and bug gods, conceptually laid here so I can be paranoidly motivated that someone might see my progress (or lack th...
