The Tapphosue Tiems November 2021

First things first: I've been dealing with a little creative block and personal stuff; we're past that, though, and things are shaking out nicely!

Two big scenes are all finished and even updated from the skeleton I've acquired! Adding extra small details here, an extra room there, just a few more fun details/features I wanted to add to make this sucker my own! Still figuring out how to do general Mob encounters; I'm certain I want to stray away from the random encounters, though, so that's still in the works.

Everybody's favorite Lunch Lady will be making an appearance again, with a new trick or two up her sleeve! This is alongside the spunky Lieutenant and her cronies! Remaking these two has been incredibly fun! I especially enjoyed scripting the Lieutenants new ending. A little extra something something to make that victory...rewarding for her ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Speaking of endings...the things possible with camera/viewport scripts that allow zoom functions and screen distortion has allowed for more cool effects than I expected. Just thought that was neat!

All above was written several days ago but this and below is being written pretty much today. I realized where a big chunk of the creative block was coming from this time. Instead of bloating this update, it'll get a later post of it's own. We're gonna be having us a little chit-chat about game design, Pen and paper, and why ideas are worth more written down.

Can't wait to share this work with you all so it can be like "This is super cool!" or "Hey Tapperino, maybe you should try____next time!" or "Ooooh, you probably want to change______" etc. etc. before everyone else gets to see! Maybe even influence the final product a smidge. Hearing from you is one of my favorite parts about doing this!

That's it for active development! There's a side project I'm working on that is game adjacent, albeit coming slowly, and I hope to tell you more about it soon! Life doesn't stop for any reason, of course, so I'm split between job hunting and making gas-powered games. Gotta focus on making sure the wallet doesn't run dry while I do this, after all. Thanks for your continued support!

That's it for now! Thank you reading and stay Marvelous, everyone!
