Hello,

Writing this today and not the day before. Probably would’ve done it yesterday but I’ve been fighting a bit of a cold lately.

Anyways, today is the two year anniversary of IBWHIP and since I’m kind of in the middle of my Soul-Searching and Embetterment Hiatus, I thought it would be fun to officially announce that I’m working on a small one-shot spin-off of IBWHIP which I am codenaming to: IBPUWH. Please pronounce it like Apu from the Simpsons. I’ve been spending some time in Q1 2023 making preparations for it come out, here on itch.io, in Q2 2023.

I have a few beta sprites of our titular duo done Blossom City’s HypoNova.

I’m helping to program one of his upcoming projects in exchange for some stuff including most of the art assets for IBPUWH.

IBPUWH is mostly an excuse for me to test out and learn the Godot engine since it will feature a minigame that I think would be too difficult for Ren’Py. Don’t worry, I am not going to transfer everything from Ren’Py to Godot when I’m one act out of three done with IBWHIP. I just kind of wanted to expand my amateur horizons a bit and see what perks of Godot are. To be honest, I almost decided not to commit to Godot for IBPUWH because the beginner… I forget the term for it… pre-set(???) for Visual Novels on Godot wanted me to write the main flow of the VN in a .txt file outside of Godot. But I found a work around for it so now I’m committed and I’m starting to write the actual script for BadAim.

Here’s screenshot to prove I’m not lying about Godot.

So that’s about everything I wanted to say about IBPUWH. The rest shall be a surprise for y’all in Q2 2023. Oh, and I’m sure I could program the minigame in Ren’Py in like a week if I really need to crunch on IBPUWH.

Still working on that whole Soul-Searching and Embetterment Hiatus thing. I’ve been doing a little exploring into FL Studio that I bought on Black Friday 2022. I accidentally bought a year’s worth of SkillsShare so I’ll be using that. Along with playing FE17 at the gym…

I still don’t have an exact date for when I want to come out of the hiatus but I’m thinking that I might release an Interlude Update sometime in October to help tide people over. Also neither IBPUWH nor this Interlude Update are my In-Between Project but I’m thinking that once IBPUWH is out, I’ll start focusing on the In-Between Project.

Thank you,

Unagi
