As you can see, folks; the first build of Pairanormal is out, and Salty and I are currently in the process of hammering out as many bugs as we can. I look forward to sharing an alpha with all of our patrons soon! And keep tuned for some more screenshots of gameplay as time goes on.
Man oh man! These past three days have been spectacular--I busted out all the character animations (46 in total!) and in my spare time have been combing through the game's script trying to preemptively fix any errors I see before it's officially plugged in to the game's engine. Anyway, take a look at the categories now:
oh man, I love my new job. I have so much more time to work. I literally CANT wait to wrap up production on Chapter 2 so you guys can play it!
So today I busted out a TON of animation of the new characters--only five more remain. Take a look at our progress update:
Hiya folks. Whaddaya know, this week has been super productive for me. I wanted to make a quick post letting y'all know what's been done, and what still needs doin':
Backgrounds: 60% (Take a look at the first new completed BG, the gym, above!)
Character Art:🎆🎆 100%!🎆🎆
Code Annotations: 🎆🎆100%!🎆🎆

Hey guys! Like I've said before, it's been quite a while since we've posted any significant updates to Chapter 2 or Pairanormal, but I'm hoping this mini-wallpaper which everyone can download makes up for it, and significantly whets your appetite for the most upcoming entry in our game!
As you can see here, this features every character in the game so far. I love viewing all of ...

Oooh, mama, I'm so excited to share with y'all. The last song for Chapter 2 has been created by our musician, Maglo, and in my opinion, it's totally the best one yet! This is the "Love" theme, which will be playing during romantic scenes.
Surf's up, Patrons! (that's how I start all my letters these days, but that's another story.)

2018-08-04 19:30:14 +0000 UTC View PostHowdy Folks. Just wanted to take some time to update you on how Pairanormal was going.
You might have noticed I'm pretty dead on almost all social media. That's because this new job that I have is taking up a lot of time. More time that I really expected it would. I am on the clock 20 hours a day, and in those short moments where I get a break, I can sometimes chip away at Chapter 2 of Pairanorm...

Hey guys! A quick update on the game--I'm polishing up and adding coding annotations to the story, and when I get more free time I'm chipping away at some missing art assets. Here's the full list:
So today has been my one day off. I've spent it working on the teachers of Pairanormal! Just like the students, these simple characters were created to give the halls of Foster high a little more life. Expect to see these friendly faces and more in Chapter 2 of Pairanormal! I will be doing everything I can to get it released this month, but regardless, you'll hear about all the news right here. Th...

Sorry for the delay, y'all. The truth is, I've had this little guy on the burner since late May, but I was so busy I forgot to put the darn thing up!
My programmer handed me the build, so I'm in the process of adding it to the itchio page. In the meantime, Mac users can download the OSX version right from this post.
Chapter 2 is still being worked on and we hope to have it released...

Hey everyone. The live stream for Pairanormal Chapter 2's raw reading is happening now! If you are not a backer but want to check out the story for free, I'm going to be reading it while I edit and make annotations. Drop on by!

Hey folks. Thanks for stopping by yesterday's Pairanormal art stream. For those of you who were unable to catch it, I just wanted to show you what came of it: six brand new faces to haunt the halls of Foster High!
These kids don't really have names, but I created them to make the setting of the game seem more alive. I might even make more in the future. It was really fun to do, after all! I love...

Hey guys! I'm streaming some Pairanormal artwork again on picarto. If you're free and just wanna hang, let me know! today I'm drawing the other students of Foster High, and hopefully some other characters (which I won't spoil for you). For those of you who were unable to catch the stream yesterday, here's what I busted out:

hey, just letting y'all know how goes the progress of Pairanormal. Salty has created a pretty feature complete version of the game, wherein we'll be able to easily release new chapters and you can play them without screwing up your saves or having to start over every time. It needs a few more bug fixes, but we are definitely on track to release it this month.
Meanwhile, I've gotten about 50% wri...

I know I've been quiet for a while folks, so I just wanted to check in and let you know how work goes on our recent projects.
Salty has been sick, as Salty tends to be. However, he assures me that a final, mostly bug-free Chapter 1 of Pairanormal will be available before the end of May. In the meantime,...

Hey folks, my personal life has been pretty hectic lately with some family stuff, so true apologies for not being as active as we hoped post-release. But luckily, my programmer has been going at it. Here's what's been reported so far!
Hey folks, it's us!
After releasing Pairanormal's Demo chapter earlier this month, I took the rest of the time to work on other projects, view feedback from the game, record bugs, and just basically enjoy people enjoying the first chapter. I'd just like to take this opportunity to report on the cool stuff that's been happening, and let you know what's going on next.

Hey all, I'm back with a preliminary bug report before the next build releases. There'll probably be one last one this month before we start moving on to Chapter 2. As usual, use the comments here to let us know of any problems you're experiencing with the game, and we'll try and address it in the next build. And if you want to report a grammatical error you spotted, please tell us exactly...

Hey guys. in case you haven't heard, Pairanormal was released in the wee hours of today. After a big burnout nap, I awoke to read about some of the bugs and crashes you've encountered while playing the game. Some of them are a little more serious than others, but I've talked to Salty, and here's the plan:
We're taking the next two days off, then start squashing. Salty and I spen...

As you know, Pairnormal Chapter 1 is practically seconds away from being released. Last night I tested the game out with my programmer and we compiled a final list of tweaks that we want to make before it gets put into your hands. Today we've all just been implementing those tweaks, and with any luck pop out an executable for the public soon.
I'm shaking with excitement!

Guys, after 8 whole hours of work, I finally completed editing the entire script of Pairanormal. I just sent it in to my programmer, and hopefully this weekend, we're gonna have a game!
I was literally up all night trying to finish this thing, and to my shock, we actually had a few viewers who stuck by me through the whole thing. I wanna...

Hi-de-ho, folks.
Things are getting pretty darn close to the finish line, so since the crunch week is drawing to a close, I'm pulling one last all nighter to get this damn script finished.
I've got my tea, snacks, and lots of Splatoon to keep the energy going (and to take careful breaks) and I'm not stopping until it's finished. I also thought, to help wi...
