Made an update log. Hi. Using this as a way to vent my frustrations with coding in a way that doesn't piss off my IG followers or spam my Neocities page.
Major updates coming to the site- swapping the theme used entirely. Old theme was fun but was not mobile compatible and that's important to me (sadly I am a mobile user first...). Also a majority of my existing audience are mobile users. Love you guys.
New theme is fun but my god. I have to make so many assets. I really like the new shattered sun logo / themeing, that's cool as shit. The blinking eye was a cool idea until I actually had to make it. Who knew a simple five frame GIF could take three hours. I have plans for the other menu icons too.
Trying to add a fun lander page too. How the FUCK you're supposed to layer an image over another in HTML I don't fucking know. I just want the little home star to be closer to the sun ;-; you can stand on the logo little friend, it's okay. Z-Index why do you fail me so.
Also played with the concept of a VN and nearly broke my fucking computer. Fuck that noise. JavaScript I love you but also die.
I want to add more funky interactive stuff to this page. I've been looking at some really cool sites (TWELVEMEN, N6, SPECGENS) and want to do something similar. A little ARG-like, almost. Still gonna keep the basics of this site accessible and easy (all main pages) but want to have fun with character pages and ESPECIALLY with the stories. SUNSET was always intended to be a multi-media project, encompassing many small stories in one universe told through various mediums (art, writing, sculpture, animation, and yes, webgames). Gonna really have to lock in on it though lol.
I've got a new job lined up which is essentially gonna kill all my free time so SUNSET is gonna take even more of a backseat then it already does :( which sucks because I do miss it and I regularly think about and write stuff for it still. But it was always a long-term project (scarily it's nearly ten years old this year) and I'm glad at least some of it is out there, even if I never do achieve what I intended with it.
Having just said that though... I might make a second Neocities account for my non-SUNSET related stuff. I have so many stories I want to tell, and majority of them aren't anywhere near as in-depth or broadly encompassing as SUNSET's world, so I could more easily condense multiple into one site. Is that too ambitious of me? Probably.
