#oneaday Day 329: Pixie Team, Roll Out

I finally beat all of Gun Gun Pixies' endings this evening. This is not at all necessary in order to enjoy the game, as it literally means playing through the whole game six times (albeit ensuring you meet the conditions for a different ending each time, which is pretty simple to do) but I'm glad I did it: the "Confidential" ending that unlocks after you've seen all the individual endings is a delightfully charming way to close off the whole thing. So that is now done and dusted!

(It took about 45 hours in total, if you were curious; my first playthrough was the majority of that, as I was extremely thorough tracking down coins and information pickups; all other playthroughs were done with dialogue skip on and just focusing on mission objectives.)

On a completely unrelated note, I've been going back over some of my old stuff that I used to post on my personal blog which this Patreon blog has replaced. Specifically, I was having a look over some creative writing I did for a few sort-of-but-not-really NaNoWriMo attempts; I posted a bit more of a story each day for about a month. Ultimately the whole thing came out to roughly "light novel" length.

I read through the entirety of one of these stories earlier and actually rather enjoyed it, so I'm putting it together into a book. I've been arranging it all and making it look nice today and I've ordered a proofing copy to evaluate, so hopefully that will be here soon. If all looks good with that, I'll put it up for sale for those who might be interested in reading some of my fiction, and I'll work on getting other similar projects self-published in this manner too.

I'm putting the book together using Blurb, the same company who do The MoeGamer Compendium, but since this is a smaller, novel-format paperback it will be a lot cheaper.

I'll keep you posted on how it looks and when I'll have it up for sale. I'm quite excited about this! Again, I'm doing it mostly for my own amusement and satisfaction — and to have a hardcopy of a project I was ultimately quite pleased with — but if anyone wants their own copy they will be available for you to (hopefully) enjoy!
