And it reads: Today still doesn't quite feel real. Back earlier in the year I feel like I stumbled into the most amazing opportunity. And those of you that know me well, you know how much I love: books, video games, and writing stories. Somehow I got hired to do some freelance work adapting outlines for a visual novel into scripts.
I'm beyond grateful for this opportunity. It still hasn't quite sank in that it happened. The game is officially out today and it would mean the world to me for you all to check it out. The base game is free to play. (I did also work on some of the paid dlc episodes. I've already been paid for what I wrote, but I'd still appreciate you checking them out and letting me know what you thought.) It's overall an adorably sweet game, and if you enjoyed it stay tuned for future content! I've been having a blast playing it today seeing how much the parts I contributed to evolved.
Okay, I'm gonna go back to staring at the credits to make sure I didn't dream all this up.
The image is a screenshot of an Instagram post dated 4 years ago presented in a facebook memories format. The image is a light blue background with a promotion image in the middle for the visual novel Our Life Beginnings & Always. It's broken up into three sections where the same boy featured is shown at various points in his life: child with a pink cast and picking flowers, teenager holding a flower, an adult holding a large bouquet of flowers. The purple text around the image reads: I spent most of this year writing for this adorably sweet visual novel. Please check it out on Steam: Our Life Beginnings and Always. I still can't believe I got to have this opportunity. Someone please alert 7yr old me in 2000 that I'm getting to live out my writing dreams. Sunglasses face emoji is pictured at the end.
Screen shot from the visual novel, Our Life Beginnings & Always. Standing center is a drawing of Cove Holden, a young adult with light green hair, blue eyes, and an ocean wave arm sleeve tattoo. He's dressed casually and standing on a firefly covered hill, overlooking the ocean. He says to you: "You're welcome. And thank you for being my favorite story."
It's incredible and also alarming to know it's been 4yrs since #OurLife released. I didn't know how I was going to keep my mum & myself safe during the start of the pandemic, and Cove changed my life! I was able to stay home, pay bills, & build emergency money (RIP old car + laptop). #DevDiaries
