Golden Crayon Update for March 4th, 2026

Written by tunmi13 Revised with Claude Opus 4.6

The Verdict

3 years, everyone. 3 years since all of these shenanigans began. And hopefully, they will be over soon.

Golden Crayon has come a long way since 2023. Ever since the first Python build, to the newest NVGT one (0.7 as of now) I've been working hard with my fellow developers and staff members to bring this game up to speed. Not only that, but the beta testers have been finding bugs left and right, making things a heck of a lot easier.

But with each passing day, each passing month, and each passing year, I think I finally see an ending. One that I didn't see back in 2024, or early 2025.

If someone had told me that all of this happened in the last stretch of 2025 back in 2024, I would have scoffed.

But alas, I suppose I surprised myself.

If luck is on my side, and assuming I don't rush myself, the game is nearly complete.

Question is, when.

That remains to be seen.

I've reached my second, if not my third, burnout. So I'm going to try and get back into the groove of things. One last push should do it... hopefully.

Now Offering My Music Services for Games and/or Projects

Introduction

Hello guys,

So I was planning to write this post yesterday, but Brave ended up quitting in the background on my phone. Upon opening it, I had discovered that it had saved my changes. However, upon clicking the preview button, everything was wiped due to the Cloudflare thing enabled on the website. And due to the post being so long, I did not have the motivation to write it all over again. Since I'm writing this on my computer, I can just save this to a Notepad++ document just in case the website gets ideas.

Anyways, that aside (since I digress), this post is to let people know that I have decided to offer my music services for games. Previously it was just for artists, but I have decided to expand. The reason for this is I will be pushing out my music library pretty soon here, but I also want to provide more flexible options too.

Golden Crayon Update (March 15th 2025): An Update with Some Extra

AI Disclaimer

This was first written by me, then streamlined with GPT-4, as I am a sloppy writer when it comes to things like this. Please bear with me, and know that I tried to put in effort before using it.

An Update with Some Extra

Hello everyone, It's tunmi13 here, back with a bit of a lengthier update this time. I've taken some feedback from a handful of individuals and am trying to make this one a bit more detailed.

This time, I'm going to dig into the repository history of the game, considering parts that might be worth revealing. However, I'm still trying to be careful about how much I share, so I apologize if this still isn't enough. That said, I want to at least take feedback into account and do my best to provide something with more depth. So here goes nothing.

Manamon 2 Guide

Hello everyone, This is really late, but given those who still play Manamon 2, or are thinking of playing, I decided to get off my butt and write this. This guide took me about 2+ years to create, with contributions and tips by Kalahami. However, after some heavy grinding and setting aside time to work on it, I am happy to announce that it is now complete, from start to finish.

The Projects Archive

Explanation

As life goes on, there are projects which I find I am no longer interested in continuing anymore.

This is either because I have ran out of motivation, I have completed what I wanted it to be, or I do not have any more ideas.

That is why there is an archive of projects you can look at and still obtain.
