Saturday Update + Credits Update
Added 2025-02-01 15:49:02 +0000 UTCHello and good morning! It's the first of February so this update will be a combo Saturday and Credits update!
Which is for the best because I don't have much to say for my Saturday Update unfortunately ^^;
The bad news is that I didn't get any work on the game done last week either. The good news is that I've finished moving. I worked full time on my moving process and now I'm fully moved in and unpacked at my new home :D
Monday was moving day, then the remaining days were spent unpacking, getting my internet hooked up, address change work, and shopping for food+new household items.
I do apologize profusely for the lack of game production over the last two weeks, but I can at least assure you guys that it's finished! I believe I should be able to begin my work on the game audio on Monday after a weekend of rest.
My first day of music work will be spent rewatching a 6 hour lesson video to get reacquainted with the program, and setting up my little electric keyboard I bought/learning how to use that. Then for the rest of the week I'll be diving in and actually making some tracks [ hopefully! ]. So next update I hope to be able to attach some .mp3s to the Patreon update!
----------------------------------------------------
Credits Update!
In case you're new or don't understand how credits work- here's the lowdown:
This is an in-game screenshot list of everyone who has contributed to the $20 credits tier! If you've pledged $20 to this patreon at any point during production, your name should be here along with how many months you've pledged in that tier.
If your name is missing or you'd like to change how you appear, please comment on this post or send me a DM and I'll fix it for you, no problem!
Here it is!
Thank you all so SO much for your support and your patience while I get settled in my new home!
I'm excited to get back to work and get the rest of the game shaped up!
It's still cold and dark and scary out there these days, so please be easy on yourself and stay warm. See you next week!

2025-02-02 15:06:07 +0000 UTCNo problem, all fixed! ^o^
Gatobob
2025-02-02 15:05:41 +0000 UTCNo problem! I've changed your name. I checked through your pledge history and I saw the third charge, it wasn't quite enough to get picked up by the search but I've added the credit manually so it should say 3 months in the future👍
Gatobob
2025-02-02 15:05:27 +0000 UTCNice to hear you're all set in your home!! You can finally rest from that deal, have a wonderful weekend dear Gato! Surely you'll bring great music for the game 💚

2025-02-01 22:42:48 +0000 UTCCongrats on the move!! 🎉🍾 Nothing beats finishing the unpacking process and getting fully settled in to a new place! :D I'm excited to get to see what you end up creating music-wise, too! I wanted to ask if you could change my name to "Oscar + Gabe"? :0 And that I believe I might have paid for three months but one of them was changed and charged mid-month in November. This isn't that big of a deal but I thought I should bring it up just in case!

2025-02-01 22:09:10 +0000 UTCHappy to hear you’re settled in! Moving is such a hassle. Take care of yourself!

Gatobob
2025-02-01 19:10:26 +0000 UTCIt's no biggie that you've been busy with moving and everything! But make sure you get some rest before you start working on the game again since you've been so busy moving ❤️ take care of urself!!

2025-02-01 18:43:11 +0000 UTCAlso just a silly question, what dish is Strade holding in the Blue Monday sketch?

2025-02-01 18:23:56 +0000 UTCYEAAAAA CONGRATS ON THE MOVE GATO!! THAT'S WHAT WE LIKE TO HEAR!! ALSO For my name, all I request is if you could add "(Adrian)" at the end of it? Hope it's not a bother! Glad to hear the move went well, and I can't wait until next week's update! :)
ThreeYrsLost
2025-02-01 18:21:38 +0000 UTCFair enough, I get that. I was sorta battling myself too like "this would be cool, but also ehh cause what if the voices don't match" ect lol.

2025-02-01 18:10:04 +0000 UTCThank you so much for such a thoughtful response! I truly appreciate that you find the time for this ♥️ I completely understand and respect your decision~ If you ever feel like adding a Ukrainian translation to the game, my friend and I would be more than happy to help, but only if you'd like to! Once again, thank you for your work, Gato, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed for the mod! (Honestly, the idea is just incredible, you’re a genius!) Sending hugs ✨

2025-02-01 17:49:07 +0000 UTCHello! I made some changes and I can explain the problem! The currency exchange did not reach $20, it was only $18.50. However, you have paid that amount for 2 months, and I can see you would like to be on the credits. So, I have added you to the credits of the game. I've put you on for one month and refunded what you paid in December, I hope this is an acceptable solution! You will appear normally in the credits from now on but the picture on this blog post will just be a green scribble because taking the big screencap is a lot of work. In the future, if you choose the 'credits' tier instead of entering a custom amount, it should hopefully make sure the currency exchange works properly. Sorry about all the trouble! ^^;

2025-02-01 17:44:06 +0000 UTCCongratulations on the move, Gato! I wish you good luck with the game and settling in

2025-02-01 17:33:43 +0000 UTCI love that analogy - i know the feeling, we were moved to a temporary home for 6 months a few years back and it was as soon as I got used to it we moved back home. I'm sending Lawrencey vibes to nourish the plant in your mental garden!! You wilk flourish!! I'm so incredibly proud of you - I'm not sure what that means with me as one person in a sea of people, but I'm genuinely so happy for you and proud of you :)

2025-02-01 17:33:09 +0000 UTCThank you ^o^ It is very much how I wanted it to be, it's so much nicer and more spacious than my previous home. I admit it's still a difficult adjustment for now though. I feel a bit like a plant that's been repotted, I know I will be so much happier and be able to flourish in the long run but for now some of my roots are broken and the stress has me losing a few leaves haha
Gatobob
2025-02-01 17:29:38 +0000 UTCThank you! I think I would probably feel the same as how I do about when people get tattoos inspired by my work- I just hope people think for a long time before doing it to make sure it's really what they want. The idea of someone doing something rather permanent like that and then hating it later would make me feel sad and guilty.
Gatobob
2025-02-01 17:27:42 +0000 UTCThank you! I don't think I would ever do any voice acting things though, I don't really like the idea of assigning real voices to the characters [ and just personally I dislike vocal audio work for weird mental reasons I don't really know how to explain other than it feels 'icky' to me😂 ]
Gatobob
2025-02-01 17:25:49 +0000 UTCThank you so much for your kindness! As for the question, I'm not really sure. There are some reasons that I haven't accepted help with translations in the past and they would apply to this situation too [ I would still need to make time to insert the translations and to google translate everything back and read the entire thing to do a basic quality control/peace of mind check+ volunteer situations are always difficult because I can't make promises or be sure people will complete their work if I haven't actually employed them, etc etc ] I'm really just hoping the mod idea works because that would circumvent all those problems [ since no translation would be 'official' I wouldn't have to check them, nor would I need to oversee anyone's work ]

2025-02-01 17:21:56 +0000 UTCCongratulations on the move! Definitely rest up for the weekend, you deserve it!

2025-02-01 16:20:19 +0000 UTCCongratulations on your move! I’m so happy to read that things will finally be easier for you! Don’t worry about updates, take your time, and rest as much as you need. I’m in awe of the fact that ONE (just ONE!!) person is doing so many things all by herself! I’m proud to support you in this! You’re incredible~ Please take care of yourself and your energy. Also, I wanted to ask — if there end up being any difficulties with the translation mod in the game (which you mentioned in one of your posts), would you be open to fans helping by translating YKMET into another language? Of course, only as part of the official release and all that jazz. My friend and I would be so excited to add another language to your masterpiece (but only if that’s something you’d be comfortable with ofc). Sorry to bother you (especially if you’ve already answered this somewhere), and thank you so much for your kind words, your work, and your attention ♥️ Wishing you warmth and coziness in your new home during these turbulent times ✨

2025-02-01 16:17:40 +0000 UTCGato has explained that patreon doesnt keep track too well with all the supporters and how long theyve supported and that if you become a 20$ supporter and then switch back to a cheaper tier that its easy to miss it, so she probably just missed you and will be able to add you there once she sees your comment

2025-02-01 16:15:16 +0000 UTCWe completely understand and we’re so happy you’re moved into your new home!

2025-02-01 16:06:34 +0000 UTCI feel a bit strange because I don't understand what it's all about, I don't know what I need to do to be on such a list, I already bought a $20 subscription... and it's weird 😿 is it about currency, because after all, money is money. I have no problem, of course, i don't have problem to you gato, but it's hard for me to understand, I read everything, but I don't understand everything There could at least be an exception because I also pay. I'm very happy with each of your updates. but please explain to me what's going on ❤️🩹 (and it's good that you have everything under control now!) ^^ you don't have to apologize!

2025-02-01 16:02:58 +0000 UTCCongrats on finishing the move!! 🥳🥳 I hope you’re loving your new place. Enjoy your weekend of rest!! Today also marks my one year anniversary of being a YKMET supporter which is exciting!

2025-02-01 16:02:16 +0000 UTCWOOOHOOO!!! Proud of you Gato!!! I know I'm glad you are finally moved in and can genuinely just sit and relax. It feels great don't it? Me and my family are supposed to be moving out of state within the year or next year and quite frankly I wanna leave the US in general. It's already felt like a whole 4 months and we only just got to February. If shit don't get better within the next 2 years at most, I'm genuinely, whole heartedly gonna plead sanctuary at the canadian border. But regardless, I'm very happy for you, and look forward to hearing the MP3's! Was also wondering what your opinion would be of hypothetical vocal lines for bonus content if you complete the entire game (like getting all endings, ect), like laughing tracks of strade or ren or something like that. The idea bounced into my head a little bit ago and was curious on what you would think about it.

2025-02-01 15:53:22 +0000 UTCDon't apologize for taking time for yourself 🙏 that's entirely understandable, always good to have a balance between both. I'm curious what your reaction would be to someone naming themselves after one of your characters? Like, would you be flattered by it, or would you find it unnerving lmao. Just a teehee little question for the day 🙏 enjoy yourself, great to hear you're finally fully moved in

2025-02-01 15:53:10 +0000 UTCyou don't need to apologise gato!! I'm so happy you're all settled in and unpacked, i hope that the place is real cozy! Is it just how you wanted it to be? Looking forward to hearing some tracks! Again, if you need any tips or help, message me and I'll do what I can! Take your time and enjoy your weekend :D
