Howdy everyone! Today is a special day, because it is the 2nd Anniversary for Danganronpa: Global Heartbeat! Yay! 
          Exactly two years ago I published the first 4 parts of this story, making up the Prelude and the Prologue. To still be working on this project after so long is amazing, and I'm looking forward to finally finishing it this year!
          To celebrate the occation I drew all of the characters in anniversary outfits and I posted it on my Instagram! I think they turned out pretty well!
          Thank you to everyone following the project, I really appreciate it! I hope everyone has an awesome day!

Howdy y'all! Usually I would post upates on my Instagram, but I have some Wattpad specific news today!
          So to start off, the execution for Chapter 5 is coming along pretty well! At the time of this post I only have 4 pictures left to make, which means I should have the execution published in a couple days! However- I have a couple things I want to say regarding the execution.
          So I've been walking a tightrope with the art featured in the story for a while. Most people who have been following for some time know I've had images taken down before and I had a scare not too long ago regarding the disappearing of my rankings due to a flagging in the system. Since executions often contain my most violent images, I've decided to play it a bit safe. In which I used a censor tool more. I don't think its too distracting, but for those who want to see the art without any censors, the version of Danganronpa: Global Heartbeat on A03 will contain all of the uncensored artwork. This applies to the upcoming execution and all of the previous art I've had to censor before.
          Just thought I should let the readers on this platform know about this! I hope everyone has been having a nice summer! Ya'll have a nice day!

Can you make a character for my DR RP?

Well golly gee! It's been an entire year since I published the first few parts of Danaganronpa: Global Heartbeat, and what an amazing year it's been! Making this Fangan has been an awesome experience, and I appreciate every single person who has been following along with the story. Thank y'all so much!
          I've posted a special picture on my Instagram to celebrate the occasion (as well as a picture for Nyathera too, its also her birthday today!) and I'm eager for another amazing year! School is starting back up again for me tomorrow, and while things will be slowing down, progress will not be stopping. I worked on this Fangan through school last year, I'll be doing it again this year!
          I wish all of you well, and to those in school as well, may our grades be high this year!

Howdy y'all! I've got a couple of things to give you all an update about!
          First off, I created an instagram account dedicated to the work I do here! I'll be posting progress updates, extra art, bonus content, and things of that sort. If those are things you'd like to see, you can follow me there! The link is in my bio!
          Second off, an update on the progress of the Class Trial for Chapter 3. Oh boy, it's going to be a long one! I've finished writing the first three parts and they add up to over 17,000 words in total! (Not as long as Chapter 1: Daily Life Part 6, lmao!) Im currently working on Part 4 at this time, and I should have the writing for the Class Trial done very soon. From there the only major hurdle I'll have to pass next is the Argument Armament and the Closing Argument. As usual, those take a lot of time. The rest of the art for the trail won't take too long.
          Putting aside how long the trial is, things have been a bit slow progress wise. IRL, me and my family are moving into a new house and we've been packing everything up for the past couple weeks. We're at the point where we are about to move out entirely, so that's going to be a whole thing. I should be settled into my new house in about a week, and progress will pick up quite a bit once that happens.
          That's everything I got to say, until next time!

Howdy everyone! Today is a very special day for me, for I am now officially 19 years old! Yippee! I want to thank everyone who has been following the development of Danganronpa: Global Heartbeat, I appreciate it very much! I'm so glad to see that there are people enjoying the story!
          Speaking of which, I have an announcement regarding that development. The writing for the final three parts of Chapter 2 is finished and I am currently in the process of drawing all of the art for it. For the last chapter I uploaded Post Trial Part 1, Execution, and Post Trial Part 2 all at once. I was planning on doing it again, but a friend of mine gave me a suggestion. He said I should publish them one at a time as they are finished instead of all three at once. I decided giving it a shot would be a good idea. Maybe in the future I'll do the same with the Class Trials.
          All of the writing is done for the three parts, and for Chapter 2: Post Trial Part 1, all of the art is finished for it as well. I'm going to have it published sometime today. As of now, I am about a third of the way done with the art for the execution that follows. It should be finished sometime next week. Then the final part of Chapter 2 should be released a few days after the execution. 
          Thank you for taking the time to read this, I hope everyone has a fantastic day!

Well- I just woke up this morning to find that another one of my images from Danganronpa: Global Heartbeat was deemed "unsafe." Unfortunately, this time it actually makes a little sense. It was the picture revealing Chapter 2's victim at the end of Chapter 2: Daily Life Part 6. 
          The first time this happened, Wattpad strangely took issue with the Monotrio file in Chapter 1: Investigation, but not the actual picture of the body in the part before it. I just re-uploaded that same image and so far I haven't had any issues since, so I assumed it was a glitch of some kind. This time however, they took issue with the victim reveal itself, so I'm a lot more hesitant on re-uploading the same image. 
          I'm going to look into finding a way to censor the image, so for the time being readers will be unable to see it. I will be addressing this as soon as I get the chance.
          Bonus Update: I have completely written and drawn all the images for Chapter 2: Investigation. I'm in the editing and proofreading phase, so expect that part to come out very soon. I've made a ton of progress this last week because I've been on Spring Break, though starting today I'm back at school. With finals coming up and the fact that the Class Trial will be the next part of the story (after I publish Chapter 2: Investigation), updates are going to be slowing down for the time being.
          Thank you for taking the time to read this, I hope everyone has a lovely day today!

Howdy, I hope everyone is doing well! I have some good and bad news relating to how Danganronpa: Global Heartbeat is coming along. 
          Starting with the bad news, the laptop that I did all of the work for the story on is in absolute shambles. Basically it had to do with storage issues, files relating to the system functioning getting deleted by accident, and the computer constantly freezing up every time I try to do more than two things at once. It's gotten to a point where it's impossible to do anything on that laptop anymore. 
          Though the good news is I was able to transfer all of my pictures relating to the Fangan onto my Mac and reinstall my drawing program on there too. I was originally going to use my Mac for school and school only, but such is life. The story must go on somehow. I'm honestly just relieved I was able to save the pictures I had already drawn, especially the ones I have to modify each chapter. 
          Unfortunately its not all sunshine and rainbows, there is another layer of good and bad news. Bad news, I don't have a mouse for my apple laptop. I can't draw using the little touchpad. I was able to order an apple mouse and I'll be getting it around Christmas, so I won't be able to draw for the book until then. Good news, despite being unable to draw, I can still write. I am currently writing the Class Trial for Chapter 1 and so far its going pretty well. I should have the entire trial written by Christmas, and from there I'll just need to draw the pictures for it. There will be no cliffhangers for the Class Trial, I will try to have all the parts published on the same day. 
          In regards to when the Class Trial will be published, I think it will be a week or two after Christmas. I apologize for the technical difficulties. Thank you for reading and I hope everyone has a Happy Holidays!

The most bizarre thing just happened, lol. I was literally working on Chapter 1: Investigation and I decided to take a break for a few minutes. Suddenly I get a notification that one of the images in Danganronpa: Global Heartbeat has been flagged for being "inappropriate." I click on the message and see which picture it was. 
          To my absolute surprise, it wasn't a picture from any of the published parts, it was a picture from the DRAFT I AM CURRENTLY WORKING ON. To be exact, it was a picture of the Monotrio File. I can only assume the reason it was considered inappropriate was because it has a picture of Chapter 1's victim in it. I will admit, it is a bit graphic, but the story is rated for mature audiences. Also, it's really strange how Wattpad took issue with a picture from a DRAFT that contains a graphic picture that only takes up a THIRD OF THE PICTURE, but not the actual full-blown picture at the end of Chapter 1: Daily Life Part 6. 
          I deleted it and reuploaded it, and so far, no issues. I doubt this is any kind of problem, just a glitch of some kind. I thought it was pretty funny. Though if it does happen again, I'll be redesigning the Monotrio File.

Hi everyone! I just wanted to post a brief update on the status of the next part of Danganronpa: Global Heartbeat because it's been a while since the last part was published. 
          I am currently working on "Chapter 1: Daily Life Part 6." This will be the last part of the Daily Life and it will be especially important to the story. It is also going to be very long. It will be the longest part so far. I am currently around the halfway point in regard to the writing and I am guessing that the final product will be around 18,000 to 20,000 words long. Maybe even longer than that depending on how it goes. It's also going to have a ton of art in it as well. 
          The past 2 weeks have unfortunately been busier than usual. I've had exams to study for and take, art projects to finish for school, and practices to attend for my sport. Though luckily, I am now on Thanksgiving break, and I have much more time to work on the Fangan. It is highly likely I will have Part 6 of the Daily Life finished sometime next week. 
          Thank you for understanding, and I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
