Lots of things to share this time around, so I'll just jump straight into it. Most obviously, I've got a new gameplay showcase from Wasteline for you all! There's plenty of new stuff to chew on in this one, including a little sneak peek of a couple of Aspen's weight stages.
As a big disclaimer, though, alot of the stuff in this video is still made up of temporary assets. The UI isn't tot...

Progress on the new Wasteline has been going well! bun has made some excellent art for both the UI and character sprites, and I'm really happy with how things have turned out with the dialogue system.
Check out the video attached to this post to see an example of the new stuff that's been made possible with the change of engine!
Of course, many of the aspects of the video and curren...
2025-10-20 23:51:40 +0000 UTC View PostSo, I know it's been a while since my last post, but at this point I've run into a little bit of trouble with continuing Wasteline's development. After thinking about it for a while, I've decided that transferring the game to a different engine for the update will be for the best. Twine has an uncountable amount of limitations when it comes to developing the kind of game that Wasteline is, so I...
2025-09-22 19:41:58 +0000 UTC View PostIt's been a bit, but like I said in my last post, it's time for a poll on how the next update for Wasteline will be handled! I'll be explaining each of the options below, but I also want to just make it clear that this update will (at least initially) be exclusive to Patreon, unlike last time, which was a completely free release.
(If you have no idea what I'm talking about, Wasteline is t...
2025-08-19 22:39:38 +0000 UTC View PostSo, now that v0.2 has been fully released and finished (save for a few more bugs that I have yet to address), it's time to talk about what the current plan for development is, as well as why this update in particular took so long.
First of all, in regards to Fataclysm, I'm not fully set on what direction I want to take things right now. There are a few different things I have planned in r...
2025-07-30 00:07:06 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, I just dropped an announcement for this on the Discord so I'm sure that many of you already know, but some large payment processors in the US have decided to start censoring NSFW content. I don't really want to get political, but I at least want to say that it's genuinely infuriating that pointless middlemen get to decide exactly what people can and can't spend their own money on....

It's out!!! Go download it from the link below!!
If you want to get started on the new stuff, just get to the Palace. If you haven't seen the Sovereign on your save file before, you'll have to make it all the way to her first, and then revisit the Palace.

It's finally time! After a very (very) long wait, the update is finally just about finished. All of the new features have been thoroughly playtested at this point, so I'm gonna be shooting for Friday, July 11th as the release date! A big thanks to everyone who has stuck around for this long - and sorry for taking forever on this! At the very least, I hope all the stuff in the new update will ma...

Here's some art from a new part of a Penitentiary event! If you'd rather wait until the update to see the art, though, feel free to skip this one.
So, after you all voted on the art poll from a few months back, I've been doing what I can to get more actual art into the game. As a big first step, a new aspect of the Penitentiary Financial event that's only unlocked by having Leona in the p...

Here's an excellent piece from TheForeigner starring Leona and her ghostly nemesis! The Gourmand has waited a long time to take the sorceress down a peg, so it's only fair that she finally gets a taste of revenge. Of course, Leona's going to be tasting quite a few new things too.
Thanks once again to...

Exactly one year ago today, the first public build of FATACLYSM was released. Quite a bit has been added to the game since then, but there's still lots more to be done before I'll be fully satisfied with the state that it's in! I can't say that I'm exactly happy with the time that it's taken with the current update that's in the works, but at the very least I just finished up with my college cl...

So, as the title implies, I wanted to make this post to talk about a new mechanic that's coming in the next update. I'm currently calling it "pair up," but I'm not fully satisfied with that name, so it'll probably be changing in the full release.
Essentially, this new mechanic will allow party members outside of the current 4 that are being used to still assist in combat. By assigning a p...

Like I said a couple weeks ago, this post is gonna be a little different than normal. First of all, we have an excellent piece of official art drawn by bun! All of the information on this sheet is 100% canon (unless I ever retcon it), and Estelle's design here is an actual consistent one that will be drawn on in the future instead of...

So, work has been progressing well on the next update, but there's still quite a bit more writing to be done. However, at this point the information that I can share about the update that doesn't venture into pretty direct spoiler territory is fairly limited. There is one new feature coming up that I haven't mentioned at all, though - New choices in events!
A while back, I held a survey w...

The poll on Discord had the outcome of some of Leona's skills being revealed as the winner with over half the votes, so today I'm gonna be showcasing 4 of her 8 remaining abilities that I have yet to explain publicly. This post is gonna be pretty dense with info and screenshots from the game, so if you'd rather wait until release to see this stuff, then feel free to skip over this one.<...
2025-02-10 20:47:47 +0000 UTC View PostIt's about time that I properly explained what Leona exactly does in combat, so no need to mince words! The lipomantic sorceress specializes in supporting the team, primarily through incredibly powerful buffs and her ability to transfer some of her allies' fat to the enemies.
To start, one of the core differences between Leona and the rest of the party is her unique resource. While everyo...

This one has been in the works for a while, but I'm to happy to present to you all a beautiful work of Fataclysm art from SoggySauce! I'm really happy with how the pair turned out here, so be sure to check out some of her other art if you liked this one.
2024-12-08 19:39:22 +0000 UTC View PostI didn't really mean to stay silent for this long, but some stuff that I wanted to post didn't quite pan out in a timely fashion, so I figured I might as well make a poll for you all to weigh in on in the meantime. This is something that I've been thinking about for a while, and I'm not 100% sure about how to move forward with it.
It's a bit of a long winded explanation, but this ...

The 0.1.3 update, which I'm calling a Little Bit of Everything (yes we're titling these now), is out! It brings a host of changes that entirely change the feel of the game along with a bunch of quality of life improvements, so feel free to jump straight in if you don't want to read the detailed patch notes.
So, all the content for 0.1.3 is done at this point. Pretty much all that needs to be finished up is the fine tuning of the balance, and I think that the game is fairly close to being in a much better spot in that regard thanks to the help of a few playtesters. My hope is that by properly balancing things now, it'll be easier to make future enemies and party members fit in seamlessly without th...

So... when I said that this update was planned to be smaller than usual, I really meant it. But, that hasn't really stopped me from deciding to just add more stuff to the list, so at this point we're looking at a pretty big number of changes.
Case in point, tons of new art for every token, icon, and skill in the entire game!!

So... no need to mince words. Meet the Dread Pirate Sinclair!
The credit for the design and theme of this skin goes to Spidermonkey124 (Qwarktastic212 on Discord)! The option to replace Astrid's 8 weight stages with this set of new ones will be available for a bit of Essence in the next update.

Hey everyone, I know it's been a bit since my last post, but I just wanted to share some more concrete info on what's coming in the next update.
Originally, the plan was for the next update to be v0.2, and of course Leona will still be coming as a party member when that releases. However, I've decided to create a 0.1.3 update for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, there were some chang...

2024-08-11 23:41:03 +0000 UTC View PostThe response to the changes introduced in FATACLYSM's 0.1.2 update have seemed positive so far, but I haven't actually received a ton of feedback. Continuing development isn't as easy or clear when I don't know what people did or didn't like, so I wanted to encourage you all to share your thoughts on the most recent update.
