Hello folks! Time is flying and we're already a good way past September!
Last week was pretty tough again. I did manage to show up and work for all of my normal work hours, but I'm still struggling mentally and physically.
I'm feeling some burnout and I don't want it to keep getting worse 😩 So I've decided to take Monday and Tuesday off to have a long weekend. Next Saturday Update will be a bit small since I'll have a short week but I will still try my best!

Hello Everyone! It's finally Saturday!
My week was a little bit underproductive, I have to admit. I've just been catastrophically exhausted for some reason. I actually had to stop working at noon on Tuesday and also stopped a bit early on other days. This is very rare for me, but I could barely keep my eyes open.
I don't think I'm sick, I just think seasonal change is hitting me like a truck. I'm pretty sensitive to it to begin with and the change has been pretty intense here thi...

It was a fairly productive week last week! I picked some easier jobs but I still think I got a reasonable amount done.

Hello again! It's the first of a new month [ spooky season part 1 ], and that means it's time for a credits update!
For anyone new or who is unsure of how this works: This credits list is screencapped from the game's credits page. This list shows anyone who's pledged to the $20+ tier, and how many months they've done so.
If you've pledged $20 or more and your name is missing or the number of months is incorrect- please don't hesitate to send me a DM or commen...

Hello again! It's the first of the month, and that means it's credits update time!
For anyone who's new or doesn't know what these are:
Every month, I update the credits in the game to include Patreon supporters who paid $20 during any month of production. People who pay for more than one month will be credited as such [ the number of months is under everyone's name ]
If you paid $20 or more during any month of production, your name should appear on this long screen...

Hello again! It's time for another update!
Last week was another slightly difficult one for me- mostly due to a heatwave in my area 😅 I've been managing to stay cool with wet cloths and fans but it's been very hard to sleep and I've just been SO tired because of the heat and insomnia.
I also had more personal life stuff come up, some extended family visited my town for a couple days, I had to scramble to get insurance for the condo I'm purchasing because I didn't know that was ...

Hello folks! It's finally the weekend!
Last week was very.... eventful for me, so I'm afraid the sprite progress isn't quite as robust as I would like it to be ^^;
I got 22 done, when I generally aim for 30-35 😩
But, I know I did try my best so I'm not gonna dwell on it!

Hello folks! Sorry to bother you on a Thursday but I figured I better get you guys in the loop on what's happened.
Yesterday my account on Patreon was suspended [ you may not have even noticed ]. This is my fault, I wasn't clear enough on the rules of off-platform activity. The old artwork on my personal website violates Patreon's TOS, and because I had clear links from that website to Patreon, it fell under their jurisdiction.
A member of the Patreon guidelines crew contacted me ...

Hello! Happy weekend folks!
I've still been a bit busy with everything so I decided to take it easy last week and just work on some more sprites. I finished up the rest of the expressions and base variants for a base named in my code 'close' and then mainly worked on a new base named 'close2' [ I know, getting real creative here LMAO ] So a lot of my work last week was once again spitting out a ton of expressions.

Hello again! It's the first of the month and so it's time for a new credits update!
We're past a year of full time development now! Phew! We've certainly had a lot of ups and downs already, but in my experience that's completely normal.
Now, just in case you're new around here, let me explain how this works [ I saw a lot of new names this month- welcome and thank you!!! ]

Hello again folks! I'm gonna skip the sprite completion bar since I didn't add any new completed sprites last week ^^;
I switched to sound design to take a break and reduce burnout, but unfortunately that wasn't really how things went down. It was a pretty rough week.
Also, I apologize if there's mistakes in this update, I didn't sleep much last night and I'm feeling pretty tired. I went to a showing for an apartment yesterday and I've been feeling nervous.

Hello again! It's time for another weekend update, and as usual, I have a bunch of stuff to go through!
I got a lot of work done this week! I keep feeling like there just aren't enough hours in a day 😂 I keep getting so caught up in everything.
For most of the first part of the week, I was working with the Alpha testers to create a new build and turn their useful bug reports and suggestions into game improvements.
Here's some of what's been updated recently:
Hello folks! It's finally the weekend!
I'm afraid this update will be a little bit sparse for a few reasons ^^; I was kind of burnt out this week from jugging too many things during the past few weeks- however I DO feel like a lot was accomplished! Unfortunately, it's just the kind of things that I can't easily portray in a Saturday Update 😅

First off in the week, I was switched over completely to packing and shipping orders from 2024-04-06 14:48:54 +0000 UTC
