Question And Answer Video I + still polishing Plastic Spouse Interrogation

The Q And A Went Well! Still polishing Plastic Spouse Interrogation...

Hey all, I have a recorded version of the Q And A that I'm going to be doing some light editing on but otherwise it'll be going up soon. Only one other person joined the stream but it went really well I think. It was at 5PM EST which may have been a weird time? Although this Patreon community and also the discord has timezones from all over so maybe there's no good time in general. But that's why the VOD exists anyway. 

As I mentioned in the title I'm still polishing up Plastic Spo...

One Last Sneak Peek of Plastic Spouse Interrogation , Q And A Session One Week From Today (December 19) @ 5PM EST

Q+A Discord Livestream Scheduled For The Week After Next (12/19/2024)

Hey all. So, this pertains to what I was mentioning in my last post. I’m going to do a stream on the community discord next week where I basically answer any questions you ask me either ahead of time (first in priority/importance!) or spur-of-the-moment in discord’s text chat for the active voice channel. I’ve decided it’s probably just easier if I am the only one speaking on the voice channel (also I would feel weird about recording anyone’s voice but my own, the recorded video wil...

still polishing up Plastic Spouse Interrogation, poll regarding q-and-a, and some stuff about future plans

Hey all. Well, the new game, which is called Plastic Spouse Interrogation, about 95% done, the last bit of the game is doing some polish and testing. Mostly visual polish, re-rendering a couple of things in Blender, sprucing up some in-game text and dialogue. I just need a little more time to tie things up in a bow. I appreciate you all being patient about it I really promise it’ll be worth it. I think this is at the very least the best looking thing I’ve made. I did a lot of work in Blen...

Brief peek at new game, discord invite

I was sick, made a new small game for you all, Phantom Limb :: Genius Loci still coming soon

Hi all. Hope you are all well. For the past week or so I have been pretty sick, but I have still been working on something for you. A lot of the development that I have left to do with Phantom Limb::Genius Loci is related to making a big time table for coordinating different events in the game and coding events related to that. Because I was sick and my brain was basically fried with regards to thinking about something as abstract as that, and also because I still wanted to have something for...

A quick look at some Discover Our Bodies progress

Hi all, so recently the urge struck me to revisit some Discover Our Bodies work I was doing, I wanted to revisit the idea of raising Pantromorphs and what that will look like. If you don’t recall, Pantromorphs are lab-synthesized organisms that act as a medium to explore the outer reaches of the types of consciousness that come about from Flowering. Flowering is a one-way ticket as far as we know, once you transcend your singular body and join with the group-mind there is no way to go back....

Two more Phantom Limb :: Genius Loci teaser gifs, an idea for a "frame game" for the Patreon exclusive games

Hey everybody just wanted to give you an update about both Phantom Limb; Genius Loci, also Resin Of Earth and the public release of the timed exclusive games.

So, Phantom Limb :: Genius Loci has entered the time of development where basically all prototyping and conceptual work is through and I just have to put my head down and fill out the framework I’ve set up. Even if I have a good idea of what I want a game to contain there are always a ton of particulars that arise from the proce...

brief delay of PL::GL video (sorry, not feeling well 😔)

Hey all just a quick post here letting you know the video going into detail about the next patron game (Phantom Limb :: Genius Loci) is still on it's way I had planned to put it together today but Im feeling super ill at the moment as I'm discontinuing some meds I was on and I'm really feeling it today! Despite this I've had a pretty productive week (until today and yesterday) in regards to actual game development which I'm excited to show you when I'm feeling better, which I'm sure will be s...

Quick PL::GL Update (thoughts on design)

Hi all, I just wanted to touch base with everyone, I’ve changed my plans a bit, I know I said I was going to be posting a Discover Our Bodies update but the past week I’ve had to dog sit and I’ve not had access to my usual array of video and editing programs because I’ve not been working on the computer I usually work on, so mostly I’ve been doing a lot of work writing text and code for Phantom Limb :: Genius Loci. It ended up being pretty good though because the layout a...

Some PL::GL footage, New Patreon Feature (collections) worth checking out for the perplexed

a brief Discover Our Bodies related check-in

Hi all, just wanted to check in. I’m still working on Phantom Limb :: Genius Loci (the next Patron exclusive game) and I plan on finishing it sometime within the next few weeks. I planned on finishing it a bit sooner, however recently I have been struck with a lot of inspiration for Discover Our Bodies so I have been doing a lot of game design planning and reworking of a few visuals. I will have a large post/video soon regarding what I’m calling the examination mode, that is the portion o...

Some thoughts on the next two Patron Games, Discover Our Bodies, More

Hi all, I had some time today so I wanted to write a longer post about the next two games (Phantom Limb ; Genius Loci and Resin Of Earth). Some of it is housekeeping regarding the release schedule/plans but I go a little bit more into some recent thoughts I’ve been having about development as well, and also give some notes about inspiration for Phantom Limb;Genius Loci.

First, the planned order of getting the games done/seeing them through, PL;GL first, then RoE. After they are in you...

Just a quick check in! DOB video soon

Hi all, sorry for the radio silence this past week or so, I have been getting a lot of work done on Discover Our Bodies however and I wanted to put a video together giving you an update on a lot of the features of the experimental lab. I sort of hinted at this in the last post about Pantromorphs I don't often like to do videos just because putting together a video together about gamedev pr...

Prelude to a Discover Our Bodies Highlight : Pantromorphs aka Psychic Parasite Chao Garden

Important note about accessing patron games with the itch app + Resin Of Earth/Discover Our Bodies plans

Hi! So just a quick note, if you are using the itch app and have had trouble downloading The Moon Is The Ocean's Brain, please let me know because I recently found out that if you are downloading via the app you need to have the game you are downloading associated with your account by some means of ownership if the game is not public, so for the case of The Moon Is The Ocean's Brain, you would need a key which you can claim the game so it runs through the app. I can send you a key to fix this...

THE MOON IS THE OCEAN'S BRAIN OST and Mac Build available now!

Hi! Just a quick update. The soundtrack for the most recent game is available on the itch.io page! If you do not have a Mac, that is all! (Yours in games, Yames)

Mac Users: A Mac build is also available. Please download the itch.io app if you have not already and download the game via the app. This will clear some of the hurdles that Mac throws up regarding running unsigned software.

Usually with Mac builds I would compile both a Virtual Machine build for x86 Macs and a...

THE MOON IS THE OCEAN'S BRAIN (Windows build) is now available - please see this post for details

Just wanted to make a quick note that the game has been tested and debugged to the best of my ability and has been uploaded to the secret itch page! The current build that is there is for Windows, I will be uploading two Mac builds ( arm and x86 ) soon as well as the game's soundtrack after I do some mixing/mp3 tagging of the files. For planning purposes, the game takes about 45 minutes to complete. If you have not yet received a message containing a link to the itch page, please comment or s...

The Moon Is The Ocean's Brain is being debugged, then it'll be ready for download 😎

Hi! So all of the content and writing and logic is done, mostly I am having a few people test it on their PCs to make sure it works decently and then I will be making another post announcing it has been uploaded once I make sure its not crashing randomly/there are not typos all over the place. In the announcement post I will also write a bit about plans for the game regarding it being streamed/released to the public. 

I'm going to spruce up the itch.io page with some new screenshot...

Just Checking In!

Hey everyone, sorry for the delay regarding The Moon Is The Ocean's Brain, I've been working hard at it but also been partially indisposed because I'm also preparing my taxes which has been a lot. It's almost ready however, and I think you will like it a lot. When I started making games for Patreon, this is really the sort of thing I had in mind, a short, weird, provocative thing that will leave you disturbed and weirded out, in a positive way!
Again sorry for the delay, but I'm excited to...

The Moon Is The Ocean's Brain - coming soon

I'm making a post here for the people who have not yet checked their Patreon inbox and for people who have recently signed up since the month started! I have a new Discover My Body/Water Womb World type game coming very soon called The Moon Is The Ocean's Brain. For those of you who have not yet gotten the message I sent last month, I will be sending you information on how to download the game (it's a password protected itch.io page, I will send you the password!) There are a couple of screen...
