Y'ALL! This is the culmination of almost 2 years of behind the scenes work lmao. As we've said a hundred times, we've been hard at work doing massive rewrites to accomodate for the future of TFOL! Vixel's gone through EVERYTHING, and it seems to be up and running pretty dang smoothly!

11/21 weekly update:
Hey floofs! Last week, Carrot and I did v2 playtesting and I further polished our ingame bug report tool. We're still having some breaking issues with Android, so in the interest of getting builds out soon, we're looking to publish Desktop builds first and Android builds in a few days/weeks.
Keep an eye out for the v2 desktop builds...

These long gifs are a MESS to work with for exporting Dx! I really gotta stop doing things over like, 150 frames.
Small gif in the preview, medium gif in attachments, and fullsize mp4 also in attachments! Enjoy!
EDIT:
Jesus the colors are murdered through this compression. I'd almost rather not have a preview here Dx!

Hi floofs! <3 Made excellent progress on the TFOL v2 code rewrite last week! Finished 15 cards in Codecks, and about that many are left to go. Into the home stretch now! :}
This week I expect to finish the remaining cards. Then Carrot and I need to do a couple rounds of collaborative playtesting to make sure things are looking spiffy throughout the game.
Have a lovely rest of we...

Heya floofs! <3 Short update from me today! Last week I knocked out over a dozen cards on our Codecks board, and this week I'll be crunching to try and finish the rest. Most of the remaining work is in Act 3 which is some of our newest (and cleanest) code. It's been smooth sailing & easy bugfixes so far!
When I've got all my cards done, Carrot and...

Hey folks! Sorry for the missed update last week! Been kinda busy!
But let's get started!
It's just me this update, Vixel's been out of town on family business. But last update from him, he was ALLLMOST done with Act 2's troubleshooting for the V2 project! Super exciting since there's not a whole lot of Act 3 yet lol. ALLLLLMOST THEEEEERE!
On my end, I've been working more on Act 3 animations. Act 3 has 4 main animations planned, the first being the Melody one, the 2nd being...

WHOOPS. Super late, totally thought I made this post a bit ago.
I'll start first this time! ASEPRITE TOTALLY HAD A DOPE UPDATE A FEW MONTHS AGO. I didn't realize, but they've updated how their tile-set engine works. Now it's fuckin' >perfect< for what I need for Act 4! I was setting up a super dumb workflow in Clip Studio, and was kinda dreading doing those assets. BUT NOW, I'm just kinda making stuff because it's so dang fun.
SO! This tile-set engine creates IDs for each of...

YO FOLKS~!
Just a heads up, we ARE NOT releasing a build this month. We might release one early/mid next month, but things are in a "CLOSE, but NOT QUITE" state atm! Production is moving along steadily, and it's been really awesome being able to roam around in the V2 project. It's also interesting to note the game zip went from like, 250mb to around 130! Super dope seeing how some of these optimizations are paying off :>
Anywho, No build, but things are g...

Here's this month's animation :> Posting pretty late, it was done weeks ago xD!
Her rig is TOTALLY done now. There's a few minor advanced controllers I can still make, but her bits are totally rigged, textures look good, I reweighted a couple problem areas, she's lookin' really solid!
I'll be opening up next month's poll for what we should do with her ;)

Good progress on v2 last week! I smoothed a bunch of rough edges & squashed a few sneaky bugs. The game's code rewrite is essentially done now and the next step is back-and-forth with Carrot playtesting to fix any leftover issues we discover. I have a few lingering polish/bugfix tasks (Mostly in Act 2) to solve this week as well, in parallel.
Once it's looking good, we'll get ya'll a build to help test! Whenever v2 is officially ...

Made more progress on v2! Ran into an ugly bug with Chapter Select that was causing the savegame on disk to get out of sync with the savestate in the game's memory. Once I discovered the bug, I had to redesign part of that system. Now during Chapter Select the game unloads most of itself from memory, and reloads...

Hey floofs, happy new week! <3 Last week I worked on v2, knocking out a few more todos! These four are done except for a bit of cleanup work I'll finish tonight.
Here's the Alternate Angle :3
So I REALLY wanna do audio versions of these. I did a quick mock up and got the bathroom echo-y-ness working pretty well, so I really wanna get both environments going. (I always dug making soundscapes in school, kinda nice to get back into it)
This particular angle has a dope compositional element with the reflection! So in the attached files, I've got a render where there's a rack focus focusing on the reflection!
It's dope and artsy, but mayb...
