Hello my little Stardancers ✨

Devlog #5 for vensin.dev v2: this one’s all about Mochi, my pixel cat, who has quietly become the most work-intensive feature on the whole site.

First, the anime page got a real watch log. Every episode gets pulled in automatically and turned into weekly bars, a “finished lately” row, and badges for seasons I’ve actually completed, not just started and abandoned like a coward. Then Mochi herself got proper outfits: a flower for spring, sunglasses for summer, a scarf and witch hat for autumn/Halloween, a santa hat for December, and party hats with actual confetti on special days. Hats sit on her ears now instead of floating above her head like she’s being haunted.

Then I got distracted and gave her an entire idle game. Click Mochi, buy her upgrades, the upgrades make more mochi while you’re gone, and when the numbers get silly you spend one of her nine lives to prestige and start over with permanent bonuses. There’s a shop, achievements, and a golden mochi that shows up at random for a bonus. I will not be taking questions about how long I spent balancing the math on this.

And somewhere in the code there’s a keyboard shortcut that triggers a full-screen moon scene with two people standing on the ground watching it rise. Find it yourself 🫡
