Saturday Update!

Good morning! We've made it through another week!

I admit that I didn't do so well last week. I struggled a lot with insomnia again and just couldn't seem to stay asleep for more than an hour at a time. I don't feel as confident about my work either, but I'm not sure how much of that is genuinely deserved or if my poor mental state is making me feel more negatively about all my work. I tried listening to several of the songs I made previously and I thought they were all terrible 😂 So...

Saturday Update!

Good morning! It's finally the weekend and it's time for an update!

Full disclosure it is currently 4:30 am as I write this and I've been up since 2 with some bog standard insomnia so this might not be written super well ^^;

Last week went alright I think, though there were some challenges as usual. I spent a bunch of Thursday getting my taxes done which is always a pain in the ass [ one of the drawbacks of self-employment haha ]

I tried to do a mix of making new tracks and ...

Saturday Update!

Hello again, the weekend is here!

Last week was still a bit rough for me so I didn't get in as many hours as I hoped ^^; I had some pretty bad panic attacks and insomnia on Monday night so I was out of commission and couldn't work on Tuesday. I did recover pretty well though and was back in action on Wednesday. Then I lost half of Thursday because workers came and replaced my windows [ FINALLY!!! ] and it was just too loud to work [ okay, and I was also super anxious that someone in th...

Credits - Month 21 - February

Hello, good morning! It's the 1st of a new month so it's time for a credits update- I've decided to do it separately from the Saturday update this time because it just seemed messy to have my big long png and also a bunch of downloadable .mp3s 😂

So here's details in case you're new around here or aren't sure how this works:

The credits in the game show a list of everyone who's pledged to the $20 Credits tier of this Patreon during the game's development. If peo...

Saturday Update!

Hello again! Sorry about the late update!

Last week was honestly pretty challenging for me. I had some health problems [ nothing major, just discomfort ] and also some mental health difficulty [ I've been crying again, fear and rage over my country being threatened with economic war and invasion ]. But don't worry, I'm feeling better today [ in both ways ] and I'm keeping my negative feelings in check. I won't let them take control or fester into hate. I'll keep standing tall.

Saturday Update!

Hi guys! The weekend is here and it's time for more updates!

I'm gonna start with a couple things right off the bat so I don't forget again:

My store is open again! [ https://gatobob.etsy.com/ ] I was so busy with the music and stuff that I completely forgot to mention it in my last update ^^;

I've gotten through the initial burst of waiting orders and things are running...

Saturday Update!

Hello folks!

It's finally Saturday and I've finally had some time to sit down and work properly.

It still wasn't a fully productive week [ I'm still settling in, building ikea furniture, chores like that ] but it did feel more normal at least.

I started the week off by rewatching the first two thirds of the instructional video on Ableton [ the music program I bought ] and watching the last third for the first time. I remembered it being 6 hours long but it was actually 8.5 ...

Saturday Update + Credits Update

Hello and good morning! It's the first of February so this update will be a combo Saturday and Credits update!

Which is for the best because I don't have much to say for my Saturday Update unfortunately ^^;

The bad news is that I didn't get any work on the game done last week either. The good news is that I've finished moving. I worked full time on my moving process and now I'm fully moved in and unpacked at my new home :D

Monday was moving day, then the remaining days were ...

Saturday Update?

Hello again! It's a strange Saturday Update this week because I have absolutely nothing to offer you, I'm sorry 😂 But I figured I can at least make an update about how my move is going anyway, since that's all I've been working on for the past week.

I'm pretty much finished packing now. Moving day is Monday and I just have to pack up my kitchen and bathroom stuff tomorrow. And I guess throw my clothes in some bags LMAO

Saturday Update!

 Current Image Finalization: Complete

Well, that's it folks! The art phase is now complete. There's a few things left to draw, like bonus content art to unlock and a main menu refresh, but the actual gameplay art is done.

I've added a couple game screencaps to my website to use as examples now:

Saturday Update!

Hello again! The weekend is here and it's time for some updates!

Last week was... a lot. Kind of a roller coaster. I found out that the construction company I hired never actually did anything about my broken window [ I found out that windows take many weeks to manufacture and they never even contacted a window company ] and they also left a pile of garbage including a whole door and a pile of broken glass [ old mirrors ] in the parking lot, which the condo board got mad at me for. I ha...

Saturday Update!

It's finally Saturday! 🎉 You know what this means! New episode of historical fiction heliocentrism anime!!! I mean YKMET update. That's what I meant.

Okay so it was another week of small numbers [ I am sorry but I swear I'm trying my best and not slowing down on purpose ] I ended up losing a fair bit of time to driving out to see my grandparents twice [ twice because we almost got there before there was freezing mist and it was too dangerous to drive so we had to turn back ] but hone...

Credits - Month 19 - December

Hello again! Happy New Year and all that! It's the first of a new month so it's time for another Credits Update!

Before I get to the list, I'll go through the usual explanation for any new people here:

What is the credits update?

This update is centred around the $20 Credits Tier of my Patreon. Anyone who has given me $20 during the previous month has been added to the 'Credits' page of the game. Anyone's who's done that multiple times [ more than 1 month ] also has the numb...

Saturday Update!

Saturday is here and it's finally my favourite part of December- The Liminal Space. The 26th to the 31st is a wonderful time when leftovers are abundant, the lights are still up, but the obligations are over. It's neither here nor there, the year is over but it's not.

It feels like an extra day of weekend, somehow.

I hope you're all doing alright. I know the holidays are deeply harrowing to some. We made it through the hard part, eh?

My week was easier than last week, so I'm...

Saturday Update! [ pic edit ]

EDIT!: Sorry guys! one of the images I put in here was busted and I only noticed it now ^^; I've fixed the image!

Good morning horror enthusiasts! I come before you, sweaty and broken.

The week was bad folks. Bad with a capital B. A menty-B actually.

I apologize for my poor performance. One of my personal mottos is 'You win some, you learn some' and boy, I have been learning.

I admit I am a bit burnt out on the art work, but it is absolutely not the sourc...

Another week has come and gone, and I'm still tickin. I struggled a bit as usual and had to take more breaks, but I managed to stay above quota- and for December I'm gonna call that a win.

I finished up the last couple of pics from that Strade set last week and then moved on to two other sets- a short se...

Saturday Update!

Hello folks! It's time for an icy winter Saturday Update!

Last week went pretty well overall I think. I got a fair amount done despite needing some time for reno stuff [ I went to a meeting to sort some shit out, all good now ]

I worked on two chunks of cgs- all daytime Strade stuff! Still missing two cgs from the batch but I can probably finish those on Monday.

After that, it's a big batch of Ren stuff, so next week will be Ren Time™

Credits - Month 18 - November

Hello again! It's December 1st which means it's time for a Credits Update!

Here's the explanation for anyone who doesn't know what this is:

My $20 tier on this Patreon is for people who want to permanently appear in the credits of the game. Anyone who pledges to this tier will be put into the credits. Anyone who does this for more than month will have the number of months they pledged under their name.

I default to using people's Patreon username because that's generally the...

Saturday Update!

Good morning! Saturday is here and it's time for another update!

I got a fair amount of work done last week- smaller numbers but a lot of the drawings involved character movement/more changes than just expressions.

My wrist seems to have healed up fine since I caught it early and went ham with the braces, though I'm still keeping an eye on it and wearing a brace for playing video games.

So, let's get into it!

Saturday Update!

The weekend is here! Hello!

I did my best last week but I have to report that I struggled a fair bit. I was hoping I'd be able to show you a bit more this week, but I think I can only really post one pic again. I still had a chunk of spoiler art to get through and I also had to take Thursday off for 'sick' day.

I wasn't sick per se, but I had terrible cramps and I've fucked up my wrist flirting with RSI again. It got bad enough that I needed to wear a wrist brace while working an...

Saturday Update!

Hello again folks! The weekend is finally here and it's time for another update! I have some good news and bad news. The bad news is that I only worked on spoilery art again so I can't really show anything ^^; The good news is that I got a pretty high number done this week and cranked out 21 images.

Saturday Update!

Hello again everyone! It's been... a very difficult week. It's a bit hard to decide what to say.

I am afraid. I have fears for the future and for other people, and the future of my business. I am also grieving for a future I had hoped for instead of this one. My grief is changing shape every day and my emotions are.... all over the place. So please forgive me if this update is poorly written.

But there is a job to be done and I will do it!

I had a fairly productive week and chunked through a bunch more CGs, but I can't show you any of them 😬 I'm sorry!!! I went pretty off the rails for this new part of the script and there's just a LOT of art for it. I'm still not even fully done ...

Credits - Month 17 - October

Hello Early! It's the first of a new month so it's time for a credits update!

Here's the details for anyone who doesn't know what this is:

Every month, I add anyone who pledged $20 or more [ in the credits tier ] to the game credits. If a person does this for more than one month, the number of months under their name goes up. So if you pledged $20 at any point during these funding months for the game, your name should appear here!

I default to using your Pat...

Saturday Update!

Last week was a bit rough, but I got what I could done. I've started work on a new chunk of CGs for a branching scene that has a LOT of CGs [ 86 ]. And unfortunately.... the entire batch is new content and so spoilery that I can't really show anything. I'm sorry for the lack of art in this update and the next few 😅

Saturday Update!

Hello everyone! It's that time of the week! [ Somehow... swear I just wrote one of these yesterday... ]

I had a fairly productive week in terms of numbers because I worked on 2 sets of cgs that each had a lot of variants [ a set with 7 and a set with 16 ]

Although the numbers were high I'm afraid I can't show too much ^^; I'll just show on...

Hello team! The weekend is here and it's time for a Saturday Update!

Last week went fairly well in terms of productivity. I got the last image in the 'sprites' folder done, finalized a set of cgs, went back and edited the welding helmet sprites a bit [ just added some orange highlights ] and I took a bit of time on Friday to update my website.

Saturday Update!

Howdy howdy! The weekend is here!

I had a pretty good week in terms of both vibes and productivity. I managed to crank out 15 of the 16 images left in the 'sprites' folder. The remaining one is very much a 'cg' and doesn't belong in there LMAO [ I just be disorganized sometimes ]

Credits Update - Month 16 - September

Hello again! It's the beginning of a new month, and that means it's time for a credits update!

Before I get to my usual explanations, I want to bring up something concerning I found when I was working on the credits this month.

I noticed that a concerningly high number of supporters had a declined card last month.

September is a very financially painful month for a lot of people- people are starting college, moving, paying for school supplies or childcare for the their kids,...

Saturday Update!

Hello again! Good morning!

This week I don't have very much to show since I took monday and tuesday off for some much needed rest. [ Thank you for giving me an environment where I can do so! ]

I also had a bit extra going on at home since I was babysitting my parent's cat for the week. It was very nice to have a companion for a bit!
