Update?

Many people have asked if I have any updates. Unfortunately, even after half a year, the answer is no, I do not. I'm suffering from a pretty massive writer's block that I just can't seem to get over, spurred in large part by the fact that I'm graduating soon, but more importantly my lack of confidence in fiction writing. It's sad, yes, but it happens.

That being said, I played a game recently that inspired me to possibly start working on Starlit Dreams again, which would involve much less writing. The game was an otome game for the PSP called La Storia Della Arcana Famiglia. An anime adaption of it is currently airing and caught my eye, so I decided to check out the game, and I'm really glad I did.


I loved the animated comic book style and simulation aspects of it, as well as the comedy, relationships, and of course, characterization. As soon as I started playing it, I thought, "I want to make a game like that," and realized that that kind of style would work great for Starlit Dreams.

I may end up changing up the plot for Starlit a bit to make all of the characters connected somehow. As it is currently, the main character just meets most of them by chance, which I think is kind of lame. It would be much more interesting if they were all connected by something. So, I'll stew on that for a bit and see if I can't get fired up about making games again.

For those of you who haven't given up, thank you for your continued patience.
