Update

The game is done except for some final audio stuff. I plan on releasing the game on November 3rd. If that ends up not being possible, I will let you know in advance.

I'm sorry for sounding certain that I'd have it ready this month. I somehow still have trouble fighting the primordial urge to be unreasonably optimistic in these posts (I can't believe I wrote "sooner rather than later"...). No catastrophe occurred, I've just been tacking on some extra stuff, and it just a...

Update

I had planned to write a message for those of you who weren't yet turned into ass fat, tummy flab, or burps, but it appears I may have been too late. On the off chance that there's someone left out there, undigested:

All of the art is done, and all of the programming is done. All that remains now is some audio stuff, some auxiliary stuff like the thumbnail for the game page, and some testing. Barring any catastrophe, the game will come out next month, likely sooner rather than later. 2023-09-26 19:04:57 +0000 UTC View Post

Sketches #25

I've decided to change these posts to being on a "when/if I feel like it" basis until the game comes out. You can probably tell I've been kinda running out of steam with these for a while now, and even if it's just sketches it still brings momentum to a halt when I'm trying to wrap up a game. In general I don't really feel like I'm versatile enough to come up with something new every week, and just end up doing the same things over and over. I assume you guys would agree that my strength lies...

Excerpt from Corpulent Gamers Quarterly Issue #44

If you are a huge fan of walls of text, then today is your lucky day. If not, I recommend you read until the end of the next sentence, and then cover your eyes while backing away slowly.

The game is almost done, but needs a bit more time.

Here's a (somewhat) concrete overview of what's left. I had considered all of the art to be done, but there's a part in the game that I was never really happy with, so I decided to rework it a bit. It will require a small handful of new art. Besi...

I've made the decision to halt the weekly posts until the game is done. I am fairly confident about how much more time I need, especially if I shift all of my focus towards it, but for what must be obvious reasons by now I'll keep that to myself. If it ends up taking longer than expected, I'll give additional updates.

Sorry for how I've handled this so far and thank you for your patience. This has been yet another humbling lesson in how long stuff actually takes to make. I hope you'll e...

Gonna start ordering these by content type with the crazier stuff at the back so you hopefully don't have to sift through stuff you're not interested in if you don't want to

I'm starting to feel very stretched thin in regards to needing to have something to post every week while also trying to put my heart and soul into a game, even after attempting to scale weekly stuff down a bit. I know that regular posts are probably the main draw for most of you, but it makes getting enough work done on a long-term project very challenging, and the worst-case scenario is one where neither the small nor the big stuff is getting enough attention, leading to everything just bei...

Angry fan talks to you for 2 minutes

A certain site I (usually) post on has been making a series of baffling decisions, each more dire than the last. Since it's been over 3 months since I've posted anything outside of patreon, I felt a bit pressured to say something in case the site becomes straight up unusable in the near future.

So I threw together a video starring the angry fan, mostly using drawings from the previous weeks (there's one new drawing). It's addressed to non-patrons, but I've attached it to this post if yo...

As mentioned last week, my tablet pen broke, so all I have to offer today is a short text adventure. Unfortunately I had a pretty disastrous week on top of that, so I had to scramble quit...

Sketches #14

I had more unfinished stuff, but this was all I could get done before my pen became completely unusable. Started working on something text-based, but nothing I could get finished by today. It will likely be what I post next week, as I still have no confirmation of when exactly I will get a new pen.

Unfortunately my tablet pen broke as I was finishing this. Almost everything was done, but I had to stumble through some final details with my mouse, and leave some other things out. If all goes well I should have a new pen some time next week. I don't want to scramble to finish the next part, especially if the new pen arrives towards the middle of the week, so I'm sorry to say that next week's post will likely have to be whatever the hell I can come up with that doesn't require drawing. It's...

Project still in progress! I'll shut up regarding time estimates now, and just keep working on it until it's ready. Sorry for the sloppy communication

Thank you for your support and patience

Sketches #12

Sorry if things are getting a little samey. As I mentioned in the other post I'm a bit stressed with the main project so I kinda just did this on autopilot. I won't do more game stuff until after the main thing is done, but I'll try to make these posts a little more interesting. You can request some things if you want, and I might do them.

Thank you for your support

Work still in progress

I am still working on the mystery project. I'm going to be honest and say that I've developed quite a bit of anxiety over this. It's the first standalone solo(ish) project I've worked on in years, and despite the initial plan of it being some dumb thing I was making for april 1st, it has spiraled into the most ambitious thing I've ever worked on. I don't say that to create any kind of expectations, but it's definitely the project I've had to put the most work in for overall.

All this to...

Sketches #11

Focusing on something else so just some dumb sketches today. First one is something I planned on doing for a weekly post until I realized how long it would take to finish. Game stuff will resume eventually.

Thank you for your support

Work in progress

As mentioned last week, putting all my focus towards something coming out very soon! I hope to have it ready before next week's post, but it might come a bit after. I can't wait to finally be able to show what I've been working on!
