i've been putting a more consistent effort into webcomic stuff lately because i have the time and it's something i really enjoy making. i don't think i've ever formally explained how another piece of candy started or the little journey it's been on over the years, so since i've been thinking about it so much, i decided to write it all out!!

i've been having a great time drawing comics. i finished all the strips for this month, so here they are in advance!
i also included a peek at the spreadsheet i use for planning :) i'll be sharing a bunch more of the rough strips in my art post at the end of this month.
enjoy!!

i was busy with the her tears were my light steam release, so i didn't get to draw much outside of that... hmm... i might start doing request polls to give myself more of an excuse to draw things each month. lmk what you guys think 👀
since the new content is fully finished and released, i thought i'd go ahead and distribute the additional script and art!
i might draw more for future updates though... i have a bunch of unused ideas, so once i have the energy i'll try to get 'em done!! you can expect one more psd someday haha.
enjoy~

htwml releases on steam in 2 days, so i wanted to write this post while stuff is still fresh in my mind! there's a lot i already talked about in the developer commentary that i added to this version, so i'll assume you already read that and try to write new stuff i haven't mentioned before :)

valve approved my build!! so her tears will my light will be available on steam on the 28th as planned :)
i'm launching with 10 translations this time...! there are more in progress, so it's possible i could sneak a couple more in. but i figured this is a close-to-final build so it was time to share with you guys!
