october update! + a little download

now that i'm done with tokyo game show (thank goodness) i am going to back to my regular scheduling! here are my plans for this month.

• finish marron's day!!! so i'm not announcing this publicly yet until i'm sure i can actually finish (& also get a hold of the person i want to buy pcbs from so i can flash my game & actually sell physical cartridges) but my goal is to if possible release Marron's Day on 11/3 since i'll be exhibiting at digital games expo & i want to sell the physical cartridge there! this is a big if still though since i'm not sure if i can get the pcbs & if i don't i will probably delay the release as well so i can release it on pc & physical simultaneously. (i'm also not sure if i'll be able to sell the cartridges online because i'm worried about shipping batteries & also just shipping costs in general... i will have them at in-person events though! i will look into this more though because i'd like to be able to get them to people who want them anywhere in the world if possible. i've never shipped anything with batteries before though so i'm not sure what the best practices are.)

• related to that but prep for digital games expo since i'll be exhibiting at that next month!

• update you're just imagining it so it's ready for the steam release!!! this i'll be releasing on 11/6 & i'll have new translations up on itch as well for that

• the monthly postcard!

marron is the main thing i'm focussing on... it's been a long time in the making & i'm excited to be so close to actually releasing it so people can play!! at the same time i'm also excited to then be able to get back to working on other games because i want to make other things too haha.

i wrote a long post about tgs as well which i've posted here: https://tnywndr.cafe/office/2024-10-03-tgs-report/

also the video this time is a timelapse for the art i did for tokyo indies this month which will be having an action game night!

separate from this i'm also participating in an online-only indie game event this weekend! the site is in japanese but you should be able to join for free to walk around the online venue if you check the site here once the event is up on 10/5: https://event.toranoana.jp/web-only/238842/

i'll be exhibiting with marron's day with the steam demo (link to steam) as well as the flyer i had at tgs (free download pdf) - sharing the pdf with you early here though 👀

also on a separate note, Mima and Nina's Chocolate Workshop is in the Queer Halloween Stories Bundle which is live on itch now! you can get it plus 100+ other stories here: https://itch.io/b/2666/queer-halloween-stories-bundle-2024-60-fright-edition

anyway, happy october! 🎃
