Hello again friends!
It's nearly time for me to return to work, and we'll be starting a new project!
So I'll just jump right in to it- I'm thinking on Monday, I'm going to hold a stream in our discord where I'll be playing Strade's route in BTD1 and taking notes on how to improve it. I'm thinking this will probably take a few hours at least.
Here's the details:
Time: Monday April 24 10AM MDT [ UTC -6 ]

Hello again folks! Good morning!
I'm afraid I don't really have much to say this Saturday, since I've been taking some time off between projects.
I think the only things I've done is basic store labour and also uploading the TPOF emblem to teepublic - https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/43307084-the-price-of-flesh-emblem?store_id=158768
I think I might a...

Last week was both very successful and very exhausting LMAO
We finally launched the DLC! 🎉 And it seems like people like it ^o^ I'm so happy! There's some minor text bugs that were caught after launch, but nothing serious enough to warrant an update push for now. I've fixed the stuff on my version so whenever I need to update for something more substantial, that stuff will be fixed too :)
After launch, I immediately switched gears to merch...
2023-04-08 14:12:51 +0000 UTC View PostHello again folks!
This is a special scheduled update that I wrote on Thursday because I won't be home for the weekend!
Thanks to your guys' support and help with beta testing, the DLC is just about ready to go!
I anticipate that I'll be able to post it publicly on April 4th when I'm back from my little vacation! :D
I'm also waiting for a shipment of keychain restocks and new Announcer logo metal and enamel pins that should also arrive on April 4th, so that'll be a bus...
2023-04-01 16:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostGood morning my esteemed bitches and bitchettes!
It's time for another update! I'm happy to say that I think I got a lot done last week. More than I was expecting!
I think Beta Testing is pretty much complete, I haven't gotten any new bug reports for quite a while, so I think it's fairly polished up code-wise.
Most of last week was spent finishing up the sound design, which also went well! I got a new subscription to Envato and got all the sound effects I needed easily...

I don't have any more art to show you, since that's all done- but I can say that I think I accomplished a lot last week in terms of getting the DLC ready.
During the first half of the week, I finished up my last pass of editing. I also built the 'CG' section for the DLC, added the two backgrounds to the background section, and added some concept art as well :)
Then, for the se...

Current DLC Sprite completion: 48/107
It was actually a pretty normal and smooth work week! I was a little tired still, although that could be from anything. The weather has been terrible and there's been a ton of pollution around irritating my little bitch baby lungs LMAO
Hello again my friends! It's the first Saturday Update of 2023!! I hope you guys all had a lovely new year and pleasant holidays!
I'm afraid I don't have a whole lot to update with this week though ^^; Last week I was dealing with my new dakimakura merch launch and packing up the orders was a 10-12hr every day job. It absolutely ground my bones into dust LMAO
But I am now over the hump! The rush orders have died down and I have a manageable workload again.
Financially, I thi...

Happy Holidays and Merry Cold everyone!
I have another strange update for you this week, since I took some time to complete a personal project that took me all week [ I was hoping it would take me less but.... alas ]
The personal project was a special picture that I draw every 8 years to check on my progress called 'Tempest'. I'll show you guys some progress updates and include a high rez version below!
So first up, here's the 16 year old and 8 year old versions of the...

I was gone all week to Mexico [ had a lovely time, got so much sun ] and I got back yesterday at like 2am so Today is update day LMAO
I was gone the entire time so I have nothing to give this week, but I'm happy to be home and excited to get back to work! I'm going to be spending a couple days on my personal art project [ the 'Tempest' drawing ], and then it's right back to the DLC grind!
Anyway, sorry for the brief and empty u...

Hello again friends! It's Saturday! ^o^
Last week was pretty great for me! I feel like I got a lot accomplished and I maintained a pretty good work/life balance too. A real nice one for the books!

Last week I was scrambling and juggling a LOT of customer service from my store, so it was pretty difficult to get work done ^^; but I did finish both backgrounds that will be used in the DLC! [ And some camera sprites ]
The DLC will only have 2 backgrounds, but they're both special! They're actually 9 times the size of my normal backgrounds...

I want to start this one with a reminder- since there's a few new Patrons here.
Please don't go around online telling people what I'm working on! I really want the DLC to be secret, and I've heard reports of people spreading this information and it really bums me out :(
Anyways, let's get into the actual update!

I'll start off by coming clean- I haven't worked on the DLC at all this week ^^;
I got my massive keychain restock order in the mail over the weekend and my entire week pretty much went into merch work.
Monday was making listings, managing the store, and answering customers all day.
Tuesday and Wednesday were dawn-to-dusk packing orders. [ very painful, oof ]

It's been a very busy week!
I've been prepping to help with Halloween party tonight so I was busy a lot this week, but I did just barely manage to get the DLC work I wanted to complete done :D
As of right now, I have about 2/3rds of it equipped with placeholders, screen effects, and animations.
There isn't a whole lot I can show here, but I am very happy with how it's coming along! I've put in a lot more ambitious use of tweens and transforms that ...

Work is going steady but I have to sadly admit that I way underestimated the time needed for setting up the placeholder images ^^;
I thought I was somehow gonna do the whole DLC in a week[?] but last week I barely got the first third done. [ I did get held up a bit by life stuff too, some mandatory city trips and a double dentist appointment blegh ]
But!
I've been adding quite a lot of placeholder sprites! 42 so far, although so...

I hope you've been having a nice autumn Saturday so far!
I've got good news this week- I thought I was going to need more time to finish the script for the DLC but I somehow managed to finish the rough draft on Friday!
I'm pretty happy with how it all came out so far, but I'm sure it needs to be polished up LMAO
Next week I'm going to be going back over it and editing while I add in placeholder sketches for all the images I'll need to create.
