- Virtual Hugs Number 20 That I Keep Forgetting To Write! - 5 September 2026
Hello! And welcome to Virtual Hugs Round 20! And yes, I did not miscount, it actually is 20 this time! Because last time I miscategorized the announcement for Round 19, SO IT DIDN'T SHOW UP FOR MOST OF YOU! ːsteamfacepalmː So first of all, I hope you are having a lovely day today. I see you brushed your teeth and you smell minty fresh! ːsteamhappyː So you deserve a pat on the back, just for that. :3 And even if you didn't...HUGSPLOSION FOR YOOOOOUUU!!! ːsteamhearteyesː Recently, my friend and I have started to go swimming again. It's been years since I last went swimming, so it's actually super refreshing for me. (I am a bit of a water-fan, in case you haven't noticed. ːsteamsunnyː) I hope it becomes a regular thing we do, as I have missed being all aquatic. ːsteamsunnyː GAME NEWS?! And now there's a bit of game news! Sort of! It is technically progress, but I hope you aren't too disapp…
- The Virtual Hugs Return with Number 19!! - 10 July 2026
Greetings. Still waiting on the "good news" that I mentioned last time. Still delayed. This may be news for you, but the ridiculously annoying delays are actually nothing new, in regards to this. -Sigh.-But in some other, actually good news that I can share with you guys, I was recently gifted a copy of Princess Maker 2 by one of you! ːsteamhappyː I don't want to say who, since I'm not sure they want the spotlight, but it was really sweet and quite unexpected, on my part. I keep hearing news stories about how "gamers are toxic trolls" and "people who stay on the internet all the time are awful", but I haven't found that to be the case at all. While I am aware that I've tried to curate (as best as I can) a relatively safe space on this little corner of the internet, my experience with growing up around the gaming community has given me some of the best friends I've ever had. :3 So, thank…
- Virtual Hugs Round 18! - 3 June 2026
Hello.There is some good news that I would like to report to you guys. Unfortunately, this good news keeps getting pushed back and pushed back and pushed back. So much so, that it's been frustrating me. And, because there's still a good chance of this good news not coming to pass, I don't want to tell you what it is, just to then turn around and go "actually, it didn't happen".But I haven't been writing any more entries to the Virtual Hug collection because I've been wanting to report on said good news so it'd be a good story to tell you guys. Hence my procrastination.SO.Since I don't have the good news that I was hoping to report to you guys, why don't you leave some good things that have happened to you recently? It doesn't have to be much--you can tell a story of how you got a tasty steak or found a cool penny on the ground. Just something kinda cool that's happened to you that you f…
- Virtual Hugs Entry Number 17! - 11 April 2026
Hello once again! I hope you're having a good week! I kinda am! :D It's about time for another one of these! So Hugspolsions for all!The reason I haven't made a new Virtual Hug post is...I...couldn't think of anything to write. I'm serious. The fun little stories I came up with, just didn't seem entertaining enough. Going to IHOP, the neighbourhood cat...everything I could come up with was just...mid at best. >_>But, now I do have an interesting story! Sort of! And that is that my mom and I went to see the Super Mario Galaxy Movie last Sunday! ːsteamhappyː The internet does not seem to like this movie, but we did. XD It was fun, and sure it could have been more conventional, but after all that had been going on that day (sleeping too late, almost missing church, leg not working when I got out of bed), it was really nice to get to see it. :3 Someone called it a Cotton Candy Movie, and so…
- Virtual Hugs 16 Just In Time for the New Year! :D - 8 February 2026
Greetings and salutations! I am here to give you my January Update! :D Oh, what's that? It's already one week into February? Whoops. Whelp, I suppose in some ways not much has been going on. Much of the same old, same old. The best thing I got for Christmas was a DVD Player. I may have a DVD Player built into my own laptop, but having a small, travel sized DVD Player I can play on the fly, is pretty sweet too. :3 There's been a hot chocolate contest that's been going on, where I live. A whole bunch of different places are competing to see who has the best hot chocolate. So that means I've been having a lot of hot chocolate! ːtigerinablanketː I think I've tried three so far, but I am far from finished! >D Um, in terms of stuff I've been working on, I'm still trying to get the next set of pages done for my AI Art Comic, but it's been slow. So I've been doing some smaller AI Art Pictures o…
- Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas with 15 Virtual Hugs! :D - 27 December 2025
Greetings and salutations! I have returned with an ultra procrastinator Christmas post! Huzzah! ...Um... I've really got to come up with a better way to I start these... I hope you guys had a good Christmas. Mine was okay--bit of a mixed bag, but that's due to real life reasons I won't get into. Besides, I haven't been much of a Christmas-person anyway, despite being a Christian, so it's not the end of the world for me if the holiday isn't the bestest thing evarrr... *Throws confetti of holiday cheer.* Oh, and I updated my AI Art comic again. It's going so slow, why is it going so slow, ahhhh...! And, of course, we can't forget the trademarked hugs. ;) You guys deserve it, and I know that not all of you are having a fun holiday time, at this time or year. So I salute you. And hug you. And salute you. And hug you too. And I've really got to make up my mind. XD Story time, I guess! I wasn…
- Virtual Hugs of ONE PIECE?! :O (Number 14) - 19 November 2025
Hello again. How are you doing? Doing well, I hope. I've been attending more markets recently, as I have been trying to sell my book as I can. But my mom recently brought to my attention that another person uploaded a book to Amazon with the exact same title as mine. :| Kind of took the wind out of my sails. I'm talking with the lawyer I hired years ago to see what exactly can be done, but...yeah. Kind of a bummer. Ugh. And there's only so much I can do when I'm this broke, but my mother said she was willing to help me out, so we'll have to see what comes of all this. But, I don't want to depress you all, since these posts are about cheering you guys up. I've kind of been making a friend with someone, IRL, recently. We don't meet up all the time, but when we do, we have a blast. We went for Chinese food on Sunday evening. That was pretty fun. Oh, and afterward we showed her the Live Act…
- Yet Another Round of Virtual Hugs! (Number 13?! :O) - 4 October 2025
Psyche! This time, the Virtual Hugs ended up on the Revamp's page! ːsteamsunnyː See you there!
- Those Virtual Hugs, But Round 12! - 30 August 2025
So, um, apparently at least some of you seem to miss me doing these, which I wasn't expecting. So, let's do another one! Uhhhhhhhh... Well, recently, I've been doing jigsaw puzzles with my mom. There was this one bakery we saw a lot and wanted to try out, and we did. The food was okay, but the real highlight was this one puzzle that was sitting on the table. We didn't finish it that time (we had a time limit), but we came back another day and did finish it, so that was nice. And we've been going back ever since. ːsteamdanceː We don't normally do puzzles like this, since my mom says that it's just a big time waster (and she's right), but having a specific place where we can sit down and do them, has been kind of nice. Have you done any jigsaw puzzles lately? It might be kind of cool to try doing something like that again. If not, then, well, give yourself a pat on the back. I'm sure you'…
- Virtual Hugs for the Holidays! (Round 11) - 24 December 2024
I realize I haven't done one of these in a while, partially because I keep forgetting, and also because I feel like I've run out of things to say. But since it's almost Christmas, if there was ever a time to write another one of these up, it would be now. Never mind that I'm not very good at being Christmasy, let's go! ~NEWS?~ 1) So, um, about a month ago, my roommate challenged me to make a comic in a week. I asked for a couple week extension, and ba-da-boom, ba-dabing, it's done now. I originally created it with the intention of posting it on Webtoons. And I did. And in less than 24 hours, it was censored. Since Webtoons staff has a really bad history of any form of decent customer service, I took the comic down and reuploaded it to Tapas. Being censored kind of took the wind out of my sails with the whole thing, but for anyone who's interested, then give it a read. 2) So, in preparat…
- Attack of the Virtual Hugs Round 10!! - 31 August 2024
Haven't done one of these in a hot minute. Not because I want to stop making these, but I just keep not getting around to it. But, hey. That doesn't mean you still don't deserve hugs. So, here is a pretty big hug for you! Hope you've had a wonderful summer and have an even more wonderful rest of your year. :3 So, the other day, on the way back from a mission's trip, I saw in a gas station a card-redemption thingy for Pokemon Crystal (2000s version). Didn't end up getting it, because prices, but when I got back home, I found that I already had Pokemon Gold (also old school version) on my 3DS anyway! So I've been playing that quite a bit. ːsteamdanceː It's been fun! Trying to keep afloat, doing some stuff on the side, not really much I can do about the sequel when rent keeps creeping up on me. Who knows what life has in store? Steam also seems to be introducing this system where I can lin…
- Early Access Now Avaliable! - 13 July 2024
Happy Canada Day!ːsteamhappyː Wait, what's that? Because of Steam making me go through a secondary uploading process, I wasn't able to upload the game in time for Canada Day? Oh well. Happy Independence Day!ːsteamhappyː Wait, what? I didn't reach that deadline either?? What deadline did I hit?? *Checks date.* Really? July 12?? I got held back by that much Valve bureaucracy?? ...Er, uh, I mean...Happy July 12, everybody!ːsteamhappyː The Early Access Version is out now! You can get it here... https://store.steampowered.com/app/2239960/Centauris_Favourite_Archer/ Here's an forum thread explaining things in more detail, if you want. Otherwise, I hope you guys enjoy! Or just wait for the full version, like some of you have already chosen to do. ːsteamhappyː Toodles!
- Sequel Early Access Coming Soon - 28 June 2024
Hi, so...umm... The Early Access version for the sequel, Centauri's Favourite Archer, might be coming out soon. Probably. Okay, I can technically release it now, as Valve has reapproved my stuff and whatnot. So that's where you guys come in! So...um...are any of you still interested in seeing what I've been working on? ^^; I'm just really nervous about going through with uploading it... Let me know your thoughts because otherwise I have no idea how much interest there still is in this project as a whole. Thanks!
- Attack of the Virtual Hugs ROUND 9!! - 21 May 2024
Greetings all! I am back, and...don't have much to report. Wish I did, but I don't. But hey! Hugsplosion for you for being so awesome to read these three sentences! ːsteamthumbsupːːsteamhappyː As for the sequel, I'm still working...on the same dialogue tree I've been working on for the past three/four months. Argh. It will end eventually (I hope). We can't forget about the book, you know! It is still out, and the people who've ordered copies seem to be quite happy with them! ;) And that could be you, too! And here are cupcakes. Can't forget about the cupcakes. ;) (For those of you on twitter, which I understand if you aren't, but if you are, the account "Nature is Amazing" is really fun, and I like a lot of their posts. Enjoy~) Also, this is a weird question, but...do any of you know anything about A.I. Art? Like, I promise I won't use it for the game at all (as tempting as that is, see…
- My Fancy Book is Available - 22 April 2024
So, I have a book called Handsome and Hideous™, as some of you might already know... You can read the Digital Version on Amazon, but I also recently got it physically printed, as I mentioned in my last announcement, and due to Amazon's stupidity, you cannot order it directly through their website. (You can read more details there.) Now, initially, my plan was to try and make the book available for order as soon as I finished up Quest #6 in Centauri's Favourite Archer, which would then make its way onto Early Access. Unfortunately, this one dialogue tree is eating my soul and taking forever, so I might as well make the book publicly available now and worry about the Early Access Thingamajig later. As stated before, I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to make this work, but for now, my ordering process will be something akin to... 1. You reach out with Friend Request to me on Steam. 2. We…
- Quick Upppppdaaaattte...! - 5 April 2024
So. I have been inactive and have missed out on giving you guys virtual hugs. I will briefly remedy that now, as I can see how hard you've been working, and how much you deserve it. *HUGSPLOSION, JUST FOR YOU!!* Anyway, the main reason for this post is I wanted to give you guys a brief update on what I've been doing to make up for my recent silence. >Sequel News I've still been puttering away on the sequel, and was thinking of maybe submitting it for Early Access. Don't know what you guys think about that. I originally thought of Early Accessing the game after finishing Quest #5, but Quest #5 ended on a big cliffhanger annnnddd...wasn't sure if I wanted to end the Early Access version of the game on a big cliffhanger. So I've been writing Quest #6. And Quest #6 is an absolute doozy to write. Right now, I am working on one of the final cutscenes of that quest, which has a lot of branchin…
- Virtual Hugs Strike Again on VALENTINES DAY?! :O (Round 8) - 14 February 2024
Hello, everyone! It's Valentine's Day! ːsteamhearteyesː And what better time of year is it to hand out more virtual hugs! So virtual hugs for all! You get a hug! And you get a hug! And you get a double hug because you know you're extra special! ;D I meant to make another entry into the Virtual Hugs series a while ago, but it just didn't work out. It's not like I was waiting for my book to come in, and waited three weeks just to find out that I would have to wait another three weeks for it to arrive! Total mystery! :D ~~YouTube Shenanigans~~ https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ez2TkqpcFSg If you're in the mood for (sorta) romance, then here is this Youtuber I found who is really into the Romance Genre. So much so that she has an entire series dedicated to the personification of four different romance genres (Contemporary Romance, Paranormal Romance, Fantasy Romance, and Historical Romance), b…
- Physical Copies of Book Almost Here!! (And Some Sequel News?) - 7 December 2023
Hey, so remember this ever so necessary announcement I made, not that long ago? Well, turns out I was actually on to something with that post! Because I'm almost done getting my book printed!! ːsteamsunnyː (This is just the proof-copy, I still need to make some last minute touches before I get the full stock I ordered.) If you're interested in getting a physical copy of my book which I'm sure maybe five of you actually are, then please DM me to ask for further details! When I tried to get Amazon to link to a 3rd Party Printing Company, it decided it didn't like that, so I have no idea how else to distribute these to you without paying a $40 Monthly Fee. Sorry about that. Oh, and I should probably talk about the sequel a bit, shouldn't I? So, I've been slowly puttering away on it, as you would see if you watch how much I spam TheIndieManiac on Twitter. Right now, I'm almost done writing…
- Super Secret News on Something Coming Soon...! - 22 November 2023
Sooooooooooo, remember that book thing that I did a while back? Well, there may or may not be something exciting about it coming up soon...! ːsteamhappyː Also you might want to check this out about the revamp. Yeaaahhh, this is the main reason I posted this event. However, if I type in any buzzwords about it in the description, Steam will automatically re-categorize this announcement to be in a category where most people won't see it, so I have to be super secret and stealthy about it this time... Toodles~ ːsteamsunnyː
- Spoopy Virtual Hugs Round 7 - 28 October 2023
Hallo, hallo! And I suppose it's "hallo"ed because it's almost Halloween! Oh ho ho ho! ...Yeah, I don't really celebrate it anymore. >_> A holiday of ghosts, zombies, and dancing skeletons really doesn't seem all that fun anymore when you had to put your dog down on the same day. But, I don't wanna ruin your fun, so I'm gonna try and give some slightly themed videos to pretend that it's sort of in a similar vein as Halloween? I dunno, I tried. XD ~~Dem Videos You've All Been Dreading Waiting For~~ Lois Lane Marries So I'm starting off by recommending a playlist this time! It's a collection of videos going over all the times, in the history of the comic book industry, Lois Lane married someone other than Superman! From what I can tell, there was this comic book spin off series in the 1960s dedicated to Lois Lane, since comic books were so popular at the time. However, since the writers w…
