House Rules v0.1.1 *Patched

It's still 19th somewhere!

With somewhat of a delay I want to introduce you to my new project, House Rules. Elephant in the room moment, this build is not as robust as I hoped it would be, because of a very important issue, that being me being me and me being dumb so I did what I always do and started adding stuff that wasn't planned initially.  

That being said, I am happy enough with this being a very short showcase of the kind of narrative you can expect, even though thi...

The hell is Ohm doing this time... (spoilers)

It's high time to reveal what I am working on. You've waited long enough. Welcome to HouseRules.

Step into a dystopian future where laws are meticulously crafted by megacorporations, leaving humanity's emotional connections and rights where they belong. That being a folder that the HR department sometimes opens when they need to address the media.

In HouseRules I will attempt to write a story set in near(ish) future, where rapid advancements in AI and robotics led to some unfors...

Hello Patreons!

Hi! You may notice that I just relaunched my patreon. I intentionally waited till few days into the month so you wouldn't get charged out of the blue.

I am working on a new game. I am still ironing out the details and will share the main design aspects and ideas in a post soon. This post is more so to let you know that this patreon is back on, and if you for whatever reason no longer wish to support my work then there's a whole month to back out.

Love you all!

End of Development

There is no easy or good way to say this, but I don’t think it can be delayed any longer.

With a heavy heart, I have to call it a day, at least for now, on my attempts to make a game. There are a million excuses I could give you as to why it’s taken so long, and why it’s not something I wanted, but the reality is that for almost a year now I’ve been entirely unable to do any meaningful work on Tale of Tali. Every time I sit down to it I end up blanking and staring at the screen...

Patreon MARCH paused

Apologies but due to current events and the proximity both of myself and my friends and family to the war in Ukraine I am not in fit mental state to work on the game at the present. I will be pausing Patreon in March. If you want to support me, please send the money to support Ukrainan army or humanitarian actions for displaced civilians. I will still put in whatever work I can when I get my shit together.

I am fixating over a small thing... again...

EDIT: Updated diagonal model approxiamation

Simple poll but I have spent my entire morning unable to decide what looks better... Look at the top of each roof. You will notice that one on the left has a smoother diagonal curve on the edge, as opposed to the green roof on the right, that has triangular cut-outs every block. The right style is the original, while the left is a quick edit I made. I...

Tale of Tali v0.1.3

EDIT: Patreons, I have identified a major bug in the patreon released version last week. It might cause compatibility issues further down if you continue with this savefile, but I will try to back-fix it as well. I recommend re-playing the game in public build and saving that game instead though.

I can't stress this enough THIS IS NOT A FULL-SIZE UPDATE! As I said in an update post, this is only meant to be an in-between point on the way to version 0.2.0. At the moment I THINK I have f...

Tale of Tali v 1.9999999999...

Hi guys! It's been a while and I really can't express how sorry I am that the development has turned into such a slog. I'll go into details in a vlog sometime in the best week or two, but for now I wanted to share a few key notes on the timeline.

1) there will be a build this month. Ideally on Jan 10th but might get delayed up to Saturday/Sunday of the same week so I can fix the last few issues
2) I will not be the promised version 2.0 as i am still missing a few bits and pieces, bu...

Spooktober update

 I know I have been delaying this build for ages now and I know I said mid October last time but I SWEAR I just need a bit more time. Every time I sit down to it I find something I don't like functionally and spend entire days redoing the code or art and so I never get any writing done... I am not dead, this project is not abandoned, it is geniuenly the biggest thing I have ever done and I have not been working more days and hours in my life. Thank you for your patience and I promise the...

Tale of Tali v0.2.0 Dev plan:

Due to work on plugins (which will greatly reduce the amount of work with code going forward) and unplanned absence next week, I need to once again postpone the release of this build to mid-october. It will however be a massive change from previous builds. For all intents and purposes it will be practically a new game, with every map and scene redone from ground up with new image. If all goes well it should also include a largely requested male start :)

Next Build

Hello Patreons! I know I promissed a build in August, but due to a variety of reasons, from annual leave clashes, through personal, to work issues, that has proven to be impossible. I am aiming for a release on 27 of September. I appreciate your patience and continued support.

0.1.2

Version 0.1.2 has been released with same content + a fair bit of bug fixes :)

Tale of Tali v0.1.0

As promised, this is the first part of what I consider to be a first proper build of the game. As a reminder, this build focuses primarily on backend systems, as well as testing them in the game environment!

The web build will be released along with the public release.

New Tali art

In the immortal words of Shaun Bean, brace yourselves! The new art for Tali is not quite ready to be implemented in the current build of the game, but we are very much getting there! Huge shoutout to the new artist Corlys who has been working tirelessly on this despite having exams :) I hope that this art can be featured in the next build around August. Meanwhile, all feedback is welcome!

Tale of Tali v1 (kinda, sorta, ish)

Hello Dear Patreons!

As a small update, I finally sorted my work situation, I have also put in a lot of work into the game over the past few weeks, though this work was primarily focused on the backend side of the game. As you have been waiting for quite a long while (Which I appreciate immensely) I don't want to leave you hanging for too much longer, and release at least a teaser of what I intend the v1 of the game to be, by splitting it in (more or less) half. The first part of the b...

Hello Patreons!

Hi guys, this is not a proper post, just a short update because it has come to my attention I didn't really flag the fact I made a vlog update here well. If you want an update on what has been going on for the past few months please watch this video. I will be sharing art progress with you later this month, and I am aiming for a new build of the game with a couple of new systems and lots of new assets around the first week o...

Tali. Tali? Tali!

Hi there!

There is an update video live here! While I'm at it, here's a patreon poll as well!

I have tested it and it turns out that if I really want to, I can make it so Player name won't have to be Tali... Now, before you get excited, the system in which dialogues for the game is done is quite... umm... peculiar, so a longer name could result in bits of dialogue being off the screen so... I'm not exactly in l...

Hairstyle poll!

TWO SHALL FALL, ONE SHALL STAND!

We are simplifying the paperdoll so I figured the one female hairstyle we'll go with should be a good one. Please vote!

Also, video update soon :)

Love You All

Roll the Dice v0.2.1 Final Build

It's been one heck of a journey. I think I've learned a lot...

Unfortunately due to my day job I didn't put as much into this update as I'd hoped. I'll do my best to create another vlog by the end of the week to elaborate.

The game can be found here:  (Link removed, this build is now public)

No downloads this time, not till I iron out all the details. I don't want bug r...

Quick check in

Due to extremely high workload in my day job I didn't manage to finish the final rtd update when I wanted. I am aiming for it to come out this weekend. Sorry for the delay.

Art poll 2 electric boogaloo

Hello Dear Patrons! So the poll has concluded yesterday, and it was very clear the majority of you really liked the new art concept by Udelart! This secondary poll includes only that new art concept, and one more attempt from our current artist Greko to get a bit closer to that style you liked. Please vote below. I am open to the idea of switching artists, but keep in mind that the new design is diff...

Valentine's Poll? Valentines Poll!

Happy Valentine's Day!

So change is always scary, but change can also be a good thing! I was thinking recently that perhaps it would be beneficial to revisit some of the art I had commissioned for the game. I reached out to a few artists and gave them a simple instruction: Take this character and draw them in your style. This is the result.

1. Original art made for the game by (by Greko...

Patreon Poll result / Tale of Tali update video

The video will go live 6 hours from now, you can find the link here:

https://youtu.be/yHiEoVCda7M

Poll result soon

Hello dear Patrons and followers.

I have summed up the votes from the poll. I will announce the result in a video in a couple of days (it will take some time to produce). Why Video? Well in my experience there was a lot of miscommunication and selective reading going and I was getting asked a lot of questions that have been already answered in the post, so I think a video will be a better way to do it. I will also take an opportunity to do a bit of Q&A so feel free to comment your...

CROSSPROMO - Monster Girl Hunt

Have you ever like... looked at a mushroom and thought... gee... I want to fuck that so bad...

Well if yes, then I have a game right up your alley, and if not, then ho boy am I about to change your life. Monster Girl Hunt is a pokemon-style game where instead of electric mice and carps you collect monster girls! The more they fight for you, the more they like you. The more they like you, the... well you see where this is going.

The game is still in fairly early stages and so the...

Secondary Poll, Patreon only

This secondary Poll is meant to solve some of the issues I've seen arise over the last 24 hours. Perhaps I did not communicate this clearly enough, but the demo is *not an accurate representation of the final product I want to make* and is only meant to showcase what I can do with the engine. I want to get some more feedback from you guys specifically about what would make you feel more comfortable with the shift, so here are some of the most common things that I've seen come up. Feel free to...

The end of Roll the Dice, the birth of Tale of Tali

If you read anything and feel like panic, please keep reading. It will all make sense in the end.

Some of the best stories in my life start with “Huh… I bet I can do that!”

It’s been over a year since I looked at a contest on tfgames.site and thought… Huh… I bet I can do that! I can make a game in one month… why the hell not? There was an ever so slight issue with me not knowing a thing about coding, making games, writing stuff, but hey, that was not going to stop me...

0.2.1 + news + secret project + future

First of all some order of business.

NEWS:
1) I have issued a hotfix to 0.2.0 but forgot to update the Patreon credits. This will be amended in the ONLINE version today but the downloadable version will remain with error to avoid updating a game with no gameplay change (it's against the rules of tfgames as far as I understand) My apologies, and I promise to be more careful in the future.
2)  All Patrons who wanted their January pledge refunded have been refunded. If you beli...

0.2.1 content poll

Hello dear Patrons! Time to slowly shift back to business as usuall <3 A question for you this month is, where would you like to see more content in 0.2.1? As usuall the poll will run for one week :)

Love you all!

0.2.0 Public Build

So as it turns out, the build has been rather entirely compromised. At this stage we are at a point where the only people don't have access to the full Patreon build are my own community that genuinely care about the game. After careful consideration, a very urgent $5+ poll and losing a lot of sleep tonight over this, I have decided to make the build public. I would rather everyone gets the full build from me  and websites I enjoy working with / built my community with, rather than some ...
