that's right, it's cryptic wip update time

i'm not going to say what this is until i'm considerably further in. there's things written about how saying you're going to do something can end up causing you to lose motivation to follow through with it and i don't want that to happen because this project is pretty cool imo and it would be a shame to give up on it. i know there's some people who follow me who i've told the gist of it to but them seeing this post is hardly a guarantee. i don't know if this counts as my main project or my side project right now but in any case i'm going to be doing it long after anything else i'm doing atm.
