I’ve finally started my very first game, and everything is going great... or at least, I thought it was. 

As I continued with my development, I’ve started to notice strange things happening—things I can’t quite explain. I’m not sure if it’s a bug or something... more.

What started off as a simple passion project is quickly becoming something I never expected, and I can't shake off this feeling that I might not be the one controlling the game anymore.

I’ll be documenting every step of my journey in this logbook. If you'd like to join me, feel free to do so.

This is it. I've decided to start documenting my progress.

I've been putting everything into this project for months, and now that it's almost complete, I feel like I need to preserve these moments. Something about this game feels different—like it's going to be more than I expected.

It's a third-person story-driven RPG, simple enough. Players explore a sprawling world, meet vibrant characters, and make choices that affect the story. It sounds basic, but I've poured every bit of myself into it. I've designed the characters to be more interactive, more believable. I want them to feel like they're alive, that they have real thoughts, desires.

It's a strange feeling when something you create starts to feel like it has a life of its own. I've spent countless hours fine-tuning the dialogue, testing the world's mechanics, and yet... there's something about the way it all clicks together that feels unsettling in the best possible way.

It could just be me—maybe it's late nights and too many cups of coffee—but I keep getting this nagging feeling that I'm not just making a game. I'm making something else. Something bigger.

I should be excited, and I am, but... something's off.

I don't want to overthink it yet. I'm almost there. The world is almost ready to be shown. But... I feel like I'm on the edge of something. I'll leave it at that for now.
