In the Stacks
*a dating sim in development*
Feeling lost in life, you take a job at your childhood library. As luck would have it, the library is partnering with a local cafe to throw an event celebrating the community. You desperately try to complete your training, handle difficult patrons, and finish your part of the preparations for the big event.
Luckily, you’re not alone. With new coworkers and friends to depend on, you're sure to pull everything off in time. But, perhaps, they have as much to learn from you as you do from them.
While there will be no in-game adult content, the love interests are in their mid-late twenties and the game will be written from the perspective of an adult.
The Love Interests
Aaron, he/him
The children’s librarian, Aaron, knows how to have fun. Running the children’s department by himself, Aaron is quick on his feet and energetic. He’s eager to have you join the team and always welcomes you in the children’s department.
Aisha, she/her
Aisha works as a barista at a locally-owned cafe and spends her free time in the library. Practically as knowledgeable as the library staff themselves, Aisha is always willing to pitch in and help. She’s especially vital when it comes to dealing with unruly patrons. Outspoken and bold, Aisha isn’t afraid to voice her mind and stand up for others.
Bailey, they/them
Working as the on site tech support, Bailey is smart and observant. While they’re used to working behind a screen, they’re known to venture onto the main floor to help employees and patrons alike. Bailey tends to keep to themselves, but as long as you’re around, they’re willing to spare a minute for you.
Will Contain:
Three romance routes
Gender Neutral Story / pronoun customization
Library shenanigans
Current Progress:
22,000 words
Prologue completely written
Aaron’s route nearly finished (other routes to follow)
Found and spoke with an artist willing to work on the project
GUI heading in a nice directions; main menu done; working on readability for the other menus and pages

Masterlist
Tumblr media
“Of fucking course this happens today.”
You stood with your hands on your hips glaring at the completely empty parking spot. To an outsider you probably just looked like an angry woman waiting for a ride but that would be incorrect. You weren’t waiting for a ride, you were looking at where your ride should be. Specifically your car. Specifically your car that had obviously been stolen.
It was mid July and the sun was scorching your exposed skin as you continued to glare. The sound of a distant fire engine blaring seemed to rouse you from your anger and you slumped.
Of all the rotten things to happen today this was the worst. It wasn’t like it had started any better when you’d toppled out of bed. Then there was the garbage disposal issue, tripping over the construction debris in your apartment, oh and the shitty date you’d just escaped from. 
You readjusted your purse, the strap of which was starting to stick to your sweaty shoulder. You glanced back towards the little coffee shop you’d just stepped out of and grimaced. You were certain your date was still in there and you really didn’t want it to seem like you were slinking back to him. There were a couple of chain stores nearby but none of them were open on a Sunday. Your eyes fell on the library and you made up your mind.
Your first breath of air conditioning felt like it revived you and you sighed, feeling your sweat cool on your skin. The building was obviously new, its architecture much more modern especially on the inside but it still smelled like books. Wonderful glorious books that you hadn’t gotten the chance to peruse yet.
Speaking of, you might as well get a library card while you’re here. You glanced around taking in the local artist wall and small sculptures that took up a generous portion in front of what looked like a help desk. There were a couple of people waiting there so you took your time glancing at the surprisingly good art pieces on display.
Eventually you were the only one left in front of the desk and you stepped forwards, a polite smile on your face until you saw who was standing behind the desk.
The man was pale, his face lean but soft in a way you couldn’t quite put your finger on. His brown hair was slightly disheveled as if he had a habit of running his fingers through it. His brown eyes were warm as they met yours and you felt your polite smile become genuine. He was wearing a white long sleeved button up shirt and a dark blue vest that had to be hot even in the well air conditioned building.
When one of his dark brows raised you realized he’d asked you something.
“I’m sorry what?”
“How can I help you today?” He repeated, his smile turning just the slightest bit rueful. As if his appearance alone wasn't making you flustered his accent did things to you.
“Sorry yes, uh I’d like to get a library card.” The process was simple enough. Answering general questions that he typed into the computer as you watched his face with interest. Once everything was done he held out a new blue and white library card to you, which you took accidentally grazing his fingertips with yours. Luckily you hid the tiny thrill that ran through you and you finally looked away from him to rummage in your purse for your wallet.
“Is there anything else I can help you with today?” You tried not to think about how sexy his accent was as you looked up and your eyes landed on a flier pinned to the corkboard behind him and you made a snap decision.
“Yes. I’m interested in the volunteer position.”

New one-shot in the Librarian Obi-Wan au!
“bestow upon me all your wisdom of the dewey decimal system”
Summary: A sharp rapport of knocks sound against the front of Obi-Wan’s ancient desk and he peers down at the familiar face of his young visitor. The librarian can't help a fond smile. “Good morning, Ahsoka. How are you doing today?”
Without any sort of preamble the child looks directly into his eyes and asks: “What does ‘out of my league’ mean?”

I love how you can use the environment in baldur’s gate.
for instance, I got my ass completely handed to me in a battle, so on my second attempt I piled barrels of gunpowder & wine near where the enemies would run out, and had one of my guys posed with a fire spell to ignite them. and THIS TIME, I triggered a massive explosion on my first turn of combat, instantly killing my entire party.

In the Stacks Progress
Since I'm nearly finished writing Aaron's route, I wanted to share some of the progress I've made in regards to designing the game itself.
Tumblr media
The main menu has been designed! I found a font I like, and that I'll be using throughout the game. The only difference I might make is changing the 'about' label to 'credits' instead. That's where I'll put the artist's social media as well as the credits for the music and any other assets I will use, such as the custom pronoun system. Information about the renpy engine itself will also go there. I think 'credits' would be a better term for that category overall ^-^
Tumblr media
I've also set a background for the different parts of the menu. Here's an example of what it looks like on the Load screen. The next step is adding an outline to the text so it's more legible. Reading the date of the saves is hard enough. Finding the 'return' button is next to impossible.
Tumblr media
And, finally, I have the game itself designed with backgrounds and a custom textbox. Most of the backgrounds have been set. There's a couple of locations I still need to create backgrounds for (the sorting machine in a library is so very cool, and I'll be sad if I can't get a good background for it). Overall, I am pleased with the art direction thus far and have a plan to keep moving forward.

Diversity Matters: Why You Should Be Auditing Your Libraries...OFTEN!
Diversity Matters: Why You Should Be Auditing Your Libraries...OFTEN!
Hello all! I’m writing this blog post as I come up on the end of my first semester in my Information Science M.S. program. I won’t say it’s been easy so far, but I am enjoying my studies so much more than I ever have, and learning new and amazing things each day. It’s so nice to finally be able to apply things I’m learning in class directly to my career, and to be able to put into practice all of…
