Credits Update - Month 10 - March

Hello again folks! It's the first day of a new month, so it's time for me to show you the credits as they stand right now.

If you're new here and don't know the drill: This list of credits should include everyone who's ever pledged $20 or more during a month of YKMET development.

If you've pledged $20 or more recently, please check to make sure your name is on the list and the number of months is correct. I have to do a lot of this by hand so there could be mistakes!

Also, p...

Saturday Update!

Hello again folks! Sorry for the slightly late update, I've been busy as hell!

I have a few things to go through, so let's get into it!

First off, thank you very much everyone for applying for alpha testing! I've chosen my alpha testers and we're already testing. I'm sorry to anyone who applied and wasn't chosen, I still appreciate your willingness to help out very much!

So far, my testers have found a ton of spelling errors and small bugs, and are already giving me some inc...

Looking For Alpha Testers + Merch Update

Hello again folks! I need to bother you with a rare Wednesday Update because it's time for me to lay out my needs/wants for Alpha Testers and I have a merch update for yall!

I'll start with the merch update since I think a higher percentage of people will be concerned about that:

I checked my tracking number this morning and was shocked to see that the shipment is apparently coming tomorrow!?

Saturday Update!

Placeholders are complete! YKMET:Strade is now a fully functional game full of sketches!

 Well, "Fully Functional-ish". It still needs a lot of testing and tweaking, not to mention a lot of UI/framework stuff. And of course the art finalization LMAO

But still! It's playable!

Here's the last couple of placeholder previews:

Saturday Update!

Hello folks! It's time for updates!

I'm currently out on a long weekend vacation, but I've written this on Wednesday night and scheduled it for Saturday- so 'hi from the past' I guess!

I can say that I got a fair amount done for 3 days! I really hustled my hardest to make up for my time off LMAO

Here's the current placeholder progress:

Only one floating ending left!! 🎉

Saturday Update!

Hello again folks! The weekend is finally here! 🎉 I'll warn you right now, this update is probably going to be obnoxiously long, I have a bunch of stuff to go over- In fact I think I'm gonna split it in 4 sections 😂

Section 1 - The regular Game Update

As you can see on the bar there, we're getting pretty close to done with the placeholder art. I did kinda zip through two of those e...

Still working on game, just deleted social media

I'm sorry to have to update you guys yet again, I just wanted to reassure you that I don't have any plans of stopping any of my work. I've just decided to fully delete my social media accounts for my own mental health and safety.

I may need a bit of a break, but the plan is to keep going as always- just with no social media.

I also plan to eventually revamp my website to be able to fill in my need for giving public game info, updates, merch updates, stuff like that.

Saturday Update!

Hello again folks! I had fairly productive week and managed to chew through the next full chunk of script placeholders. There was a lot less work to do than Night 3, and I actually already took care of one of the endings [ since it can occur on Night 3 or Day 4 ].

So, now all that's left to plug in placeholders for is the 5 floating endings. Some of them are pretty simple, some are very complic...

Credits Update - February

Hello again! Sorry about all the pings this week! But it is the first day of a new month and that means it's time for a new credits update :D

If you pledged $20 or more last month [ and haven't read my usual explanation ], please read this:

Below is the credits list screencapped as it appears in-game! Please check to see if your name is listed properly, the name that appears is how you want it to appear [ I can change it to whatever you like if you don't want your Patreon...

Please stop leaking my Patreon content

Sorry for the update email- most of you can disregard this message!

But this is yet another desperate plea for people to stop posting my Patreon updates elsewhere.

If you're excited and you like my work, why are you sabotaging my business?

I see you've posted to this group anonymously. You ...

Saturday Update!

Last week wasn't my most productive week ^^; I tried very hard, but I had a lot of extra challenges. I got fairly sick with migraine/insomnia/nausea in the first half of the week. I still worked every day but I wasn't working very fast. I also lost half a day to a taxes appointment [ my taxes are pretty complicated since I'm a sole proprietor so it takes a long time ]

Still, let's get on with what I did manage to accomplish!

Saturday Update!

Hello hello! It's time for updates! That week really flew by eh?

I had a pretty good week in terms of production! [ Actually, I had a good week in general. Feeling very moisturized, unbothered, and in my lane ] I've finally finished doing the placeholders for a part that was a little.... more difficult for me to work on. As much as I feel it suits the story, I actually don't like getting into an angry/sadistic headspace for art myself 😂

Anyway, here's the current progress bar:<...

Saturday Update!

Hello again! It's Saturday! Come get yall updates!

Last week I chunked through a bit more of the script, specifically Night 3. My overall progress on the night isn't very impressive, but I created a LOT of new placeholders. This is because this section of the script needs 100% new images constantly, no re-using of sprites. It's definitely a more ambitious part of the project- and for an entirely new bit of plot. The stuff I'm working on now isn't based on anything from the original.

Saturday Update!

I'm pleased to say that I finally had a normal, productive work week :) I spent the entire week on one ending, but this ending is a bit long and needed a lot of new sprites. It's based on one of the endings players said they enjoyed the most from the old version of the game, and with the new game structure, I think it will be fairly common to get- so I wanted it to be a lot of fun!

The ending I...

Credits - Month 8 - Hell Month [ January ]

Hello again, it's the start of a new month, and time for another Credits Update!

This production month is admittedly a bit weird. I actually got very little game work done during January, but I produced a daki design to help fund my efforts towards a better working space. And of course, all the anxiety and sickness and trouble, but I've done years-long projects before and there's always really rocky parts like this. I consider it to be part of the process, and therefore consi...

Saturday Update

Hello again folks!

First off, I'd like to thank everyone for the kind and supportive messages I've been sent. I haven't replied to all of them, but I have read all of them.

Thank as well for your patience with me in this time.

I'm afraid I once again have very little to offer in the way of progress this week, as I spent the week until Thursday dealing with the closure of the discord server. 

I am having some difficulty returning to work quickly. I want nothing mor...

Saturday Update!

Hello again friends! I'm very sorry but I can't type a very good update today. I had a very bad anxiety attack and insomnia and I didn't sleep last night after only sleeping around 3 hrs the night before. I feel pretty sick and I'm gonna try and get some sleep right after writing this

Last week I completed the daki design and made my new order with Vograce! 

Here is the final art, plz dont share these elsewhere, I will be announcing the daki properly soon enough ok?

Saturday Update!

Hello friends! It's time for another Update!

I'm still working on the new Fox Dakimakura design full time, so that's all I really have to update about today!

Last week I inked both sides of the pillow and fully coloured [ or maybe 'shaded' is a more accurate term ] the dark monochrome side.

Reminder: Please do not share my WIPs on social media [ or even privately with friends ]! Even if you are excited, please remember that this is my livelihood and it's ver...

Saturday Update!

Hello again friends! This Saturday is a bit of a weird one, since I'm working on merch art rather than YKMET [ I'll be returning to doing placeholder sprites as soon as I finish the art for this new daki ]

I spent all week getting the sketch/plans done for the new daki. I'm pleased to say that I got more done than I expected! I expected to need a week for each side of the pillow sketches, but I got both sides done this week. I think it's because my new computer can actually handle the l...

Saturday Update - I'm Back!

Hello everyone!

First off, I want to aggressively thank you all for allowing me to have this time off, and for directly giving me the financial freedom to have a vacation and to rest and recover from a bit of burnout.

It really means the world to me and I know how lucky and privileged I am to be able to have that- so thank you, from the bottom of my heart!

I had a very nice vacation and rest and I was able to see my family for the holidays. For the last couple days I've just...

Saturday Update!

Hello again friends! It's time for another update!

In case you missed the news, this will be the last Saturday Update for a little while as I'm gonna be taking time off during December. I should be back around the 23rd!

I'm sorry about the long stretch without content ^^; I've definitely been feeling some strong burnout though so I'm really glad to be taking some time off soon.

Anyway, let's talk about last week! I spent the week doing placeholders for the rest of Day 3 - I ...

IMPORTANT: No Credits for December

Hello again! Sorry for bothering you with two posts in one day!

I just wanted to tell everyone that there will be no credits update on January 1st, and pledges of 20$ or more during December will not count towards the game credits.

The reason for this is that I'll be gone or working on merch for December and I won't actually be doing any game development.

I encourage you to lower your pledges for this month!

If you've already...
