[ Yup, this is a journal reboot. Bet no one saw this coming. I sure didn't! ]

It's been years since I've landed on my island, years of going back and forth on themes, years of sloppily decorating; but it finally happened: I have the itch to jump back onto Inkwell and make it the crime paradise of my dreams. It only took us 5 years!

Two images of resident rep sitting at his desk, in the dark. Top one is a front shot of them pondering while looking at a computer screen. Bottom one is at an angle where the computer screen is visible, on it is an image of TBT's front page. Resident rep is having a literal lightbulb moment as one appears above them. End of image description.

.introduction --

Since I've been properly working at HHP, I've been thinking about how to redecorate resident homes on the island. Thinking about their possible roles and stories... it gave me that "eureka!" moment.

What better way to keep track of all those thoughts and ideas than a journal and board dedicated to such things.

I decided it was better to retire the old journal for good. It's but a time capsule of the early days, and it should stay that way (plus, I rather not see my clean-shaved face ever again). I'm hopeful this journal will see more use than that old one ever did. For archival purposes, here's the link to that short-lived journal.

The goal here is not to update daily, but to note down any notable happenings, thoughts, and projects.
Will I finally finish my island before the next adventure?

Image of the in-game passport. The resident rep is shrugging in this photo. The user title is Chaotic Grandpa and the catchphrase is Don't mind the bodies. End of image description. Totally legal passport of course.

I'll add more here once I finalize permanent residents.

First things first, I had begun toying with the idea of redesigning the interiors of the residents a week prior. Using the Room Sketch app I recently received from miss Lottie, useful little piece of software it is, I was able to begin a design idea and save it for later completion.

My first victim for this test was my old friend, Dobie.

For a while I was stumped with how to improve his home, but it suddenly hit me after taking a break: His home gives off the theme of a crime novelist, so wouldn't it make sense that, if living on a crime island, he would be a private investigator? Running with that idea, I looked for references and came up with something I truly loved!
