Hello again people! It's going to be a bit of a rough update this week, and for that I apologize.
I did end up taking Monday off for mental health, but life is throwing a lot at me lately and I ended up losing a lot of work time throughout the week on top of that. On Tuesday, my computer become so slow it was unusable, so I went through a harrowing reset process that took about 2 hours. I was pretty worried it was going to end in boot loop, but the computer managed to reinstall some cor...

Hello again! I'd like to start this update off with a couple apologies. First up is that I'm sorry if this post has weird errors, I didn't get a lot of sleep last night LMAO
But secondly and more importantly, I'm sorry the Patreon website and app have changed so drastically. Patreon just rolled out a massive design overhaul and it's.... frankly terrible. Minimalism taken to a stark painful extreme and the feed is all jumbled. Creators in the Patreon server are reporting that they're get...

Hello again folks! Happy October 1st to my spooky season lovers! With a new month comes news credits.
I am still struggling to compile these properly thanks to Patreon removing the ability to search for patrons based on amount paid during a specific month, so please look over this list and make sure you appear properly if you've pledged $20 last month!
Also, please let me know if you'd like your name to appear differently! I only use Patreon usern...

Hello again folks! It's time for your weekly update!
Last week I managed to get all the placeholders done for Night 1 :D There weren't that many scenes with characters involved so it was easier than a day chunk to get done.
Night 1 is the first real 'gameplay heavy' night, and while it has a couple similar themes to the original game, I think it's a lot more robust. After this point...

Hello folks!
Last week was very busy! I had a minor merch drop on top of the normal game development. But I still think I got an okay amount of work done :D
We are beginning to predict a frankly unreasonable amount of sprites, but on the other hand- we ball.
Also, as you can see on the graphic there, I finished the placeholders for day 1! Feels good!
I'm hoping that the proces...

Hello again people! I hope you're doing well!
Last week was a bit exhausting, I worked on Sunday when I shouldn't have and social media was pretty rough [ a lot of people had negative opinions about my strade sprite color experiment and it got to me because I was tired ^^; ]
BUT I still think I got a fair bit of work done. Actually, I think it may be time for another illustrative progress graphic, because I think these placeholders are going to take longer than I originally ...

Hello folks! It's time for another development update!
As I mentioned last week, now that the script is done, I've switched to sketching and adding in placeholders to get a feel for the final art that I want in the game :)
I feel as though I had a very strongly productive week, creating 46 placeholders!
They're mostly a variety of expressions for a few different poses- A side sprite, a bar sprite [ for the intro ], a standing sprite, and a closeup sprite.

Despite some stumbles this week and losing a day to a panic attack, we're still making progress and I'm happy to report that the script is complete!
There's still editing and polishing to be done of course, but I believe I'm ready to start the process of putting in placeholder sketches for the art [ this is also an editing pass, since I tend to go through the script quite slowly and carefully anyway to get a feeling for what art is needed ]

This week there will be no script planning doc graphic because the script is [ sort of ] complete! I've finished writing all of the content :D
BUT- in some very important ways, it is not complete. I still need to go through the whole thing and adjust stat changes and put in jumps that lead to the floating endings. I was going to work on that task this week but something else came up instead-

It's not much more complicated than 'I wrote some more endings."

Just one floating ending left to write!

Writing went fairly well for most of the week- I got all but one ending I planned done.
I also designed the endslate for survival endings finally LMAO
But Friday ended up going down the drain in terms of game development because I had to make a bunch of changes to the discord [ added a rule, had a huge discussion, revoked the rule, added a new ticket bot system, appointed some new mods, answered like 30 private messages and just....

I have another very simple update this week! I basically just got more writing done, uneventfully LMAO
I did head out on Tuesday to my grandpas farm to help pick some chokecherries, but I wrote on my phone in the car for the 3 hour round trip and then wrote when I got back, so it didn't really end up harming my productivity much [ if fact I think I got more done that day due to sunlight and lack of distractions LMAO ]
Anyway, here's the planning doc ...

Another summer Saturday is upon us!
It was a bit of a difficult week again for me, I won't lie. My store work was very demanding and I got super stressed from some unrelated online stuff freaking me out really bad. But on the bright side, my store work is slowing down and I'm recovering quite well from the stress thing [ turned out to be nothing, I just needed a couple days to stop worrying about it ].
Anyway, it was a bit of a boring week because I just got more writing done! Wel...

Hello again! It's a new month, so that means that it's time to show the new credits list!
For anyone who doesn't know how it works, if you pledge $20, your name will show up on the credits page of YKMET. If you pledge $20 for more than one months during production, this will also be shown!
So! If you pledged $20 or more during June, please take a look at the following pic to check:

Last week went fairly well I think! I ended up taking Monday off to recuperate a bit [ thank you very much for allowing this! ]
On Tuesday I got back to work setting up the coding for the Hammer/Drill choice! I was pretty excited about this since I think it's an important part and I had a lot of coding ideas for how I wanted it to look.
I'm very pleased to report that I managed to do the things I was planning! I built off my mouse-following code...

I have a bit to report from last week, but unfortunately, it's not as much as usual ^^; I lost a few days to merch work since I got a restock/new pins shipment in and I had to do product photography/editing, listing building, and then packing shipments.

It was another rough week to be honest, but I still got a fair amount of writing done, along with a bit of code cleanup.
That's the coverage of my writing so far. I know it looks kinda bad since I only covered a few new bubbles but the bubbles are pretty bullet point-ish and often turn into a lot of writing and choices LMAO
For instance, one of those bubbles says ...

I won't sugar coat it, I had a bit of rough week last week. Some personal life stuff came up and made shit hard, but I also think I'm just having a bit of trouble adjusting to the pace of writing after coding.
I'm a pretty fast and comfortable coder, but I'm not as fast or confident when it comes to writing. I've been finding it a little hard to 'get in the zone' with it.
I still worked every day, but I just feel like I wasn't as pro...

Hello folks! Sorry for bothering you on a Wednesday, but it's time for a Credits Update! For those of you who weren't around for TPOF development, these will be monthly posts showing who is in the credits list so far.
This is the very first development month, so I'm going to be doing a bit of an 'earlybird special' edit to include people who may have been pledging $20 in April as well. For all following months though, it will just cover the last month [ in this case, May ]
So!

Hello folks! It's time for more updates!
Last week was another busy one, I finished up the rest of what I can do right now for the UI I think. There's still some things that aren't done, but they need to wait until the game content is done [ like listing and organizing CGs, death collection, etc. ]
Let's get right into it!
I've styled up the player name and sexual content choice to flow nicely with the start of the game:

Last week was very busy!
I had to spend a day and some followup hours getting my restock order organized with vograce- I got my proofs for 5 new hard enamel pins and I've approved them, so those should hopefully be available in a month or so?
After that, I did a bit of script writing for 2 days and got the intro of the game roughed out. [ That's the part where you're talking to Strade in a bar until he kidnaps you ]. I've made some prett...
