Molly Lassoed

How to take down a big rat? Use her own weight against her.

The finger snap's going to be a mechanic she has to escape out of tight situations, but I won't get too much into spoiling the fight just yet!

Molly's Lair

Sunken far below the swampy ghost town of Silver Lakes, Molly and her army of rats make their home in the tunnels, warrens and halls of the submerged buildings. But Molly's main lair, the heart of the twisting warren, is the stone hall of the old Silver Lake church, where she brews up potions and schemes to hasten Texas's end... 

Molly Basics

It begins! With the simple stuff. Here's Molly's 'idle', 'get hit' and 'thrown' animations.  

Piano Rat Update

Everyone's favourite Texas in Trouble character getting a revamp!

Jokes aside, I'll be using a fair amount of rats for Molly's lair, so I'm redoing a few of their sprites. 

Update (04/01/23)

Happy New Year, everyone!

I hope you all had a great holiday period and enjoyed what time off you had. Admittedly I spent a bit of it bracing myself for importing the Texas project into Gamemaker 2, which I knew would be long, gruelling, bug-filled and brutal...

Anyway, long story short I did it today and it ended up taking like... five minutes. Turns out Gamemaker's really good about seamlessly importing GM1 projects, and even the camera zooms, which I know are handled differe...

Texas in Trouble Part 5

And here it is. The final fight. Texas in Trouble can now be played through, from the start to the credits, as a complete game! I hope you all enjoy it (and can play it...) and let me know if you encounter any bugs.

However, just because the game is complete doesn't mean I'm done. As many of you may have noticed, this game is absolutely horrendously optimized, and many laptops may not even be able to play it due to the ludicrous gluttony for RAM it has. This is due to the vers...

Bouncy

Something else I needed to make for the final cutscene.

April Kiss

Just a friendly, platonic, definitely-no-romantic-feelings-involved,  kiss on the cheek.

Heh, whipped this up real quick today as part of finishing off the final cutscene. Just the credits to go, and it's ready for the public release! I'm aiming for pre-Christmas. 

Text Update + Demo Info

Hey everyone!

Hope everyone's having a peaceful, stress-free time in the runup to Christmas. As some of you may have seen, I have just posted a new demo. I want to clarify here before anyone feels the need to jump up to the Sheriff Tier that the new demo adds no new content. The only change has been that Macroxxie functionality has been added to the main menu, and all her animations are now in the gallery.

That means that all that's left is to get the final cu...

Gallery Update Demo (Updated)

Edit: Fixed a few bugs with the gallery, and made it so that winning the Macroxxie fight ACTUALLY unlocks the Macroxxie content in the gallery. Sorry about that! 

Hey there! Sorry things have been a bit quiet, I've just been coding my heart out on this main-menu stuff.

So, no new content in this one, but all of Macroxxie's animations have been added to the gallery (and 'gallery' is now spelt correctly...) and the level select, continue button and game over galle...

Celebratory Hug

Post-macro-slaying celebrations!

Been a while since I did wholesome content. 

Back From Break

Hey everyone!

As those who were in stream may have seen, I am back from my break and back into the swing of things, having today added the Macroxxie fight to the level select, and made all of her icons for the gallery! I'll be working to get the gallery stuff done Wednesday as well, then do a bit more Molly work on Friday. We are back to normal now.

Also, excitingly, I have a super top secret collab project in the works. Can't say much about it at the moment, only that it's go...

Patreon Suspended for November

Hi everyone!

Starting today I'm going to be away for three weeks, a little break while my friend from the UK visits. As such, I have suspended Patreon's billing for the 1st of November. No-one will be charged on November 1st. The next billing cycle will be December 1st, and I will be solidly back to work at that point. Streams will resume on November 10th (A Thursday, so it will be a Quantum Knight stream. You can expect the first Texas post on the 11th).

Charge...

Molly's Lair WIP

A sunken church sunk far below the mud, now turned to a more sinister purpose. The lair of the witchy shadow-rat, Molly.

This will be the arena you fight Molly in, though it is still unfinished at the moment. I still need to add a door to the left wall, a whole bunch of rats watching the fight, and a huge church organ in the gap on the right, being played by one of the rats.

But, given I'm going to be away for three weeks, that will have to wait. Have a good time, everyone! I'...

Just Some Rat

Happy Halloween!

Update + Suspending Patreon This Month

Hey everyone!

I hope all those who have played the demo have enjoyed it. I've fixed the few bugs and complaints that I've gotten so far, and just need to investigate one more possible bug before I upload a fixed version on Wednesday. After that, I'll start on the secret boss fight, and work on the cutscene and gallery content at the same time.

However, a slight delay to that plan is that I will be gone from the 17th of October until the 9th of November, a three-week absence as...

Macroxxie Full Demo

And here it is! The finished demo of the Macroxxie fight, with all of her grabs, KOs, and sounds thereof! I think it should relatively bug free, as I've fixed the bugs from last time, not really changed much, and done my share of testing, but as always let me know if there are any issues and I'll get them fixed up.

I hope you all enjoy!

P.S. If you have issues running the game, try going to the 'options' file in the game folder and changing some of the 0s to 1s. Peopl...

Update (16/09/2022)

Howdy everyone!

So, I have just finished exporting a playtest version of the Macroxxie fight which I will be sending off to my testers. My plan now is to add the sound effects for the new animations to the fight over the coming week, fix any bugs that they report and, with any luck, be able to release the full demo of the Macroxxie fight by next Saturday!

Thanks for bearing with me during this little dry spell. I think my plan going forwards will be to alternate coding and ani...

Update (26/08/22)

Hi everyone!

Just letting you know that as of today, I am back to the coding portion of Macroxxie's fight, this time coding in all of her fetish moves. It's actually off to a pretty promising start, with some code interactions that I thought might be a little fiddly and time consuming working smoothly, and the general system for how her grabs will work already in place without any issues. I'm shocked, frankly.

Which is all to say that there'll be the usual drought of animation...

Macroxxie AV

174 frames of weasel-sucking action. Long stream to get this one done, but we got there in the end!

That brings us to the last of Macroxxie's animations (I think), so we might be able to move on to coding sometime soon? No stream this Friday though, as I'll be out of town. 

Macroxxie AV WIP

Roxxie's final grab move... unless I'm forgetting something. AV has been requested probably more than anything else, which is a daunting prospect to animate at this size, but we're finally getting started! And will hopefully get finished on Wednesday.

Enjoy! 

Macroxxie Gas Blast KO

Just a little finisher portion for the gas blast.

Not too many of these left!

Macroxxie Tail Slam KO

Now you've got something fun to watch while getting frustrated at Roxxie's tail slam attack! 

Macroxxie Side-Slam End

A little KO animation for getting taken out by the side-slam, where Roxxie straddles the stage then slams her ass back into Texas.

Also I think the first time Texas's hat has been destroyed...

Macroxxie Suck KO

Just a little simple one of getting sucked in and spat back out.

Macroxxie Leap KO 2

Roxxie discovers the benefits of cleaning her feet.

Texas Roll

Not a move she'll have in-game, but I realised today I'll need to do a whole bunch of animations where Texas escapes from Macroxxie's grabs, and a roll animation will help SO much with that.

Macroxxie Leap KO (No Tex)

Texas's flattening in this one will have to be handled via code rather than spriting, but she'll just get flatter, bigger and more transparent with every stomp!

Macroxxie Steam Press Finale

This is just a little end piece for Roxxie crotch-grinding Texas into the wall.

Unfortunately I have been quite unwell this week, so I didn't get its counterpart animation done for if Tex gets butt-ground into the wall instead, but I hope people enjoy this anyway. 

Macroxxie Foot Sandwich

Completely forgot to upload this yesterday! Sorry about that, guys. Anyway, here's another one for the foot fans out there. With some fat roo thighs for good measure.
