Bye-bye, Innocent Wind ๐๐ป
Hello there, Otome Labyrinth ๐
I want to reassure you that you can still find all of my existing walkthroughs and other content, they just exist within this new domain, with a new look. If you previously signed up to receive email updates from Innocent Wind, and still wish to receive similar updates, you’ll have to sign up again. You can find a “Follow blog by email” form in the sidebar. Thanks so much for your ongoing support โก
…or new around here?
And if you’re new around these parts, hi! I’m so happy you’ve found your way here, and I hope I can help with whatever it is you’re looking for. You can find out more about me and my blog here.
A little more context (and ramblings)
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been busy migrating my (old) blog Innocent Wind over to a self-hosted WordPress solution, revamping the look and feel, and setting up a new domain. I wanted to breathe some new life into my blog ๐ Innocent Wind held sentimental value for me, but I felt a new name (and domain) was appropriate. I hope that Otome Labyrinth will allow me to reach a wider audience.
The main motivator for leaving behind WordPress.com was that I started to feel the limitations. In the 5ish years since I started my blog, I hadn’t changed the theme. It was a pain to do so, there were very few options and I had no access to the theme code. As a dev, that was frustrating, and I felt I could do better.
My stale theme and layout were also affecting how much I could be bothered to post. I always wanted to post more than just walkthroughs, but I lost motivation to even think about blog content because I couldn’t get it to look the way I envisioned. Eventually, I also started dragging my feet when it came to writing up guides. Now, part of that is because I don’t rush through games anymore. But even after completing games, and having walkthrough notes, I just didn’t feel like opening up my blog.
It took longer than anticipated, but Otome Labyrinth is finally up and running ๐ It still needs tweaking, and I ask for your patience as I work through missing features, bugs, oddly formatted images and text, broken links and general weirdness. But I’m already feeling much better about this. And I hope you like the new look as well. As always: any questions or comments are welcome! Just leave a reply here, use the contact form, or find me on Twitter or Instagram.
Allow me again to welcome you to the Otome Labyrinth โก
