Sorry for not posting the image here; Patreon was giving me a warning about not publicly posting anything with "partial nudity". I didn't want to put up a public drawing as a patron-only post since that would ...

Progress Report 3/5/2021

I've been drawing for the last several hours and can't see straight! Here's what I got done this week:

  • Continued work on the end cinematic; currently trying to tackle the trickiest part of it.
  • Finished the line art and the base coloring for the non-game drawing, as well as most of the shading.

This drawing will come out soon OR SO HELP ME! I did my best to finis...

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's... Friday! Here's what I got done this week:

  • Continued work on the ending cinematic; about 75% of it is done at this point!
  • Finished planning and got most of the line art done for the non-game drawing.

While I made some significant progress on the animation, a lot of my time this week went into the drawing. I'm a bit rusty and I f...

Knock knock! "Who's there?" Fry! "Fry who?" Dude, that's messed up. I was just talking about Friday. Here's what I got done this week:

It's Friday, but with how cold it is I should call it Freezeday! Here's what I got done this week:

  • Continued work on the ending cinematic; focused on the transition from the grape vat to the cinematic itself, and it seems to be working well enough. Also made lots of little sprites to go into the end cinematic.

This is going to be a short post for the same reason there wa...

"Friday" and "Frisbee" both start with "Fri". Coincidence? I think not! Here's what I got done this week:

  • Continued work on the ending cinematic; began piecing the finished bits together in the game.
  • Began scrounging around for good sound effects to use for the cinematic.
  • Fixed two design issues; more on that in the 1.3.10 changelog.

How often should game updates be released for patrons?

With this latest update taking far longer than I intended, I've been putting some thought into releasing regular game updates regardless of progress made. The more frequent the updates, the sooner you guys will get to experience new content, but the less refined the new content will be (at least at first).

Another thing to keep in mind is that, for now, saves cannot be carried over betwee...

🎉 Happy New Year! 🎉

2020 was quite the ride, but we made it through! Looking past all the glaringly bad things that happened, I would actually chalk this up to a pretty decent year for me.

It's Black Friday! Go shop 'til you drop! Here's what I got done this week:

It's... admittedly not a lot of progress. I vastly underestimated how much energy Thanksgiving would sap from me. ...

Thank you! (Thanksgiving 2020)

Thanksgiving is an American holiday in which we eat lots of food and give thanks. It's mostly just eating nowadays, but I'd like to keep the tradition alive and tell you guys how thankful I am to have such a friendly, supportive, and generous community. Really, you guys are the fuel to my rocket ship, and together we'll make it to the stars! Or into Black Hole-chan's belly or something. Who kno...

Quick Mid-Week Update

Hey everyone, I hope you're having a good week so far!

I just wanted to let you guys know ahead of time that this week's progress report may be a bit emptier than usual. My area's been hit with an ice storm this week which has been knocking out power several times per day. It's made working on the game a bit tricky, as you can guess.

Other than that, all is well. I actually quite en...
