🌙 MESSAGE OF THE DAY 🌙

💀 A LOT OF TEXT & SUFFERING AHEAD~ 💀

This one was supposed to be up an hour ago...

But this set apparently wanted to become a full-time job. hehe~

╚═══.·:💀🖤 🌟 🖤💀:·.═══╝

Mortals!

Message of the day~ 🖤

And where do I even begin...

This should have been uploaded about an hour ago.

But I had to finish censoring the Pixiv version, finish getting ready, and somehow make it in time for the transportation to my earthly duties...

So here we are.

And honestly...

A LOT happened with this set.

This one is actually quite important because it represents a change I'm planning for the future of the Temple~

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📐 THE BIGGEST CHANGE~ 📐

The most obvious change is...

The size.

For many months, I've been trying to figure out the best way to handle exclusive sets on Pixiv.

Not every set has the same number of pages.

Not every story has the same pacing.

Not every one has the same structure.

So there was never really a magical "cut-off point" that didn't eventually make me regret doing it that way.

At first, I used to read through the entire story again and again, trying to select the best or most important parts for the Pixiv version.

But...

That took WAY too much time.

Lately, I've simply been cutting around a third of the story and leaving that portion exclusive.

Does it save me time?

A LOT.

But it never really solved the original problem.

So, once I finally upgrade my equipment and the sets start using this new format, I'm thinking of changing things completely.

The exclusive sets will be about time and quality.

They'll be released in a beautiful 2048×2048...

While the Pixiv versions will eventually be released in 1024×1024, with a considerable time gap between them.

Yes...

That means the Temple is getting bigger. hehe~ 🖤

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✨ THE NEW TEMPLE FORMAT~ ✨

And going back to today's set...

As I said, I want this to become the new format going forward.

Not only will the images be larger...

They'll also be higher quality.

You probably won't notice the full difference yet because this set was still made using my old equipment.

But once the new machine arrives...

I really hope to improve the overall quality and appearance of the images by quite a lot.

But essentially...

This is what I want the new sets to look like. 🖤

And honestly?

I'm not even sure bringing this format so early was a good idea.

Not only because of what it means for the Temple...

But because I suffered so much making this thing.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🧪 THE UPSCALE NIGHTMARE~ 🧪

There was an endless list of problems.

From the generation...

To the editing...

And finally, the upscale.

I actually had to make a second profile because the images were coming out absolutely horrible.

Artifacts everywhere.

Awful saturation.

The image stretching instead of properly filling the space.

Which resulted in incredibly long bodies, nightmare perspectives...

And all kinds of cursed things.

It was chaos.

And the editing wasn't much better.

But after all that suffering...

Here we are.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

💬 A NEW WAY TO READ THE TEMPLE~ 💬

You'll probably also notice the new text style.

This applies to both character dialogue and voices, as well as moans and sound effects.

The text colors have also changed.

Instead of using white + the character's signature color, I'm now using the character's main color + a secondary color.

The idea is to give each character a little more personality while also making it easier to immediately recognize who's speaking.

I also changed the text sizes.

They're noticeably smaller because the canvas itself is much larger now.

So I really, really hope everything is still easy to read.

I actually organized the text twice.

The first time was basically trial and error.

Then I realized it was too small...

And during the upscale, things went completely off the rails again.

So I had to reorganize everything a second time.

Because apparently one suffering session wasn't enough. hehe~

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📖 HOW DID WE GET HERE?! 📖

There are honestly so many more things I could talk about...

But I don't want to turn this into an eternal wall of text.

You already have a lot waiting for you inside today's set. 🖤

It's honestly incredible to think that my very first set,

[Yugi — The Queen of Sephora]

was special because it was three times longer than my usual sets.

And now?

My sets regularly reach around 120 pages...

And this one is getting dangerously close to 200.

So...

Did I become better at writing?

Or did I simply get worse at expressing ideas and now need three times as many pages to say the same thing?

Take it or leave it. hehe~

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🌙 BACK TO THE EARTHLY REALM~ 🌙

Anyway!

I'm going to stop rambling now.

For your sake...

And honestly, for mine too.

I still have to upload this.

Upload the Pixiv version.

Survive the rest of today.

And somehow start thinking about how I can expand the Temple onto other platforms for some proper advertising.

So...

Yeah.

I have things to do. hehe~

Now then!

Without anything else to add!
