2023 was a really productive year for me in terms of romhacking. In June I released the first complete version of Host of the Dark and from there on I felt like I made substantial improvements across the board from the influx of people giving feedback. Host of the Dark now is nothing like it was in 2022 or even back in June and it’s thanks to that first full release that it’s that way.
In terms of writing… Well, let’s just say that it’s obvious to anyone who followed HotD since the beginning that my writings greatly improved, quite dramatically might I add.
Later in the year I announced I was working on a sequel to Host of the Dark, Dawn of the Dark to a small but very excited reception. The project itself is coming along great and I’m incredibly excited to put it out there in 2024, with a lot more experimentation on my end as well to boot.
I was one of the judges for MARTH as well which was a stressful and at times aggravating experience but it was a fun time.
FEE3 also had the third showing of Host of the Dark joined again by @Epholo8 , this time also including myself. It was a very fun experience, albeit a very anxiety inducing one since I never really had spoken on the internet before and I’m quite self conscious about my voice.
I’m hoping that moving into 2024 I can continue to improve and make my hacks better along the way.
