Hi, Luli here! Welcome to my corner of the internet!

This blog is still new and under construction – but it is now 100% functional so I can already start posting!

Here you’ll find art, stories, worldbuilding for the world I’m working on, and all sorts of devlogs; I make narrative games but also dabble in a ton of other technical stuff (this website here is one of them – Hugo is one gem of a framework *v*).

My old blog’s about page still does a good job introducing all that, so give it a read if you’re interested! Read on for a more technical introduction.

What is this place?

Social media never gave me nearly enough customization options, and I’m not comfortable keeping my notes on a platform that could vanish anytime; so it was only a matter of time till I decided to make my very own, full-fledged website. And it’s not just a website; it’s basically (a portion of) my Obsidian vault, with superpowers *w*

So most of the pages here are actually just notes inside my PKM, and that includes the world wiki. As I develop my world in the form of articles, the Purpleverse section will get populated, too. It works the same for the blog; it’s actually really nice to be able to write posts from the comfort of my vault.

For now the posts look rather plain on the website, but as I get around to it, it’ll become something much, much more interconnected and interesting to navigate. All pages already contain a lot of currently hidden metadata, that will eventually be used to display relevant info and list them in all sorts of places – I’m really looking forward to implementing all that! Also I have big plans for the world wiki, I’d like to make it as immersive and interactive as possible, so stay tuned c:<

Obviously none of this would have ever been possible just on socials (and even Tumblr which is the most customizable option I know), though I’ll still be active on Tumblr and Game Jolt. Give me a follow if you’d like, and if you don’t use that, there’s still the good old email newsletter option! But don’t expect much activity on there for a while, as I need to push out more content first.

Next up

My current focus is on worldbuilding, and more specifically global geography. I aim to get a solid geographical base for my world, and so have completed the rather huge undertaking of simulating the planet’s tectonic history. Next is figuring out what kind of land that gives me, aka topography; then will come global climate. Once that’s done, I can focus in developing the areas where my stories take place.

In parallel, I work on Project Purple, the first narrative game and a “short” practice project. It’s set in my world but to progress as quickly as possible on it, I decided to not wait for the worldbuilding to be completed first; so it’s going to use whatever latest version of my world exists in my head, and I expect some things to be retconned later, but it’s fine. The story is self-contained and doesn’t need much context to work.

Also in parallel, I might continue working on this website (the visuals and features of it) because it’s clearly not up to my standards right now. But hey, I can’t wait for it to be perfect before I can use it either. It’s good to be messy sometimes!

And that’s about it for now. See y’all soon for another post!
