God i love your art, each of these weekly updates got me kicking my feet

Gracious Piety

Can't wait to speedrun a bleeding heart just to see that expression; Strade's redesign is so comfy and not so greasy lol

Gatobob

That's true- I've tried to write more evidence of that into the story this time :)

snapper

SORRY i know i already asked a question buttt i remembered how on the wiki it said strade was a mechanical engineer before becoming a snuff streamer? is that true? im curious because i have a bs in mechanical engineering and i think itd be some pretty funny representation xD

We're already two LOL In my case I just didn't like him because I wasn't able to get the ending where you survive and the first ending I got was the "Strade loved you too much"-

Kandi_crystal22

For real, he was the best “worst” character for me since there’s no supernatural bent to it and there was too much gruesome to find any attraction, but this redesign is making it easier to look past some of the heinous actions. I hate to admit but he’s growing on me😅

Gato getting rest means Strade is in a good mood lol feeding us proper food this time

pikameru

honestly the main reason why i look forward to specifically saturdays are your updates!!! im so so so excited hehe

comic

he's feeding us something else rather than beer and protein bars⁉️ upgrades people upgrades

PennyFaust

I'm so glad you got some rest. Hopefully you still get to relax a bit this weekend before diving into work again next week. Take it easy and good job with everything you've done so far!

Elliott M.

Such nice work gato!! Strade is so cutie,, i’d share my sandwich with him

Gory.goodboy

Absolutely awesome update gato! I hope you enjoyed your well deserved rest! And gasp! Strade giving us actual food and water instead of beer and an energy bar?! 🩷🩷🩷

Cheers 🍻

"out of character for strade" has me so intrigued to see what changes have been made in regards to that. I've always loved everything about strade in the old game so im really eager to see what you consider out of character at this point!!

Dark

strade is so fucking haaaaawt omfg I cannot wait to play this when it comes ouut heheheee, you're doing so well so far and making such amazing progress!! i am so looking forward to seeing the character change in ren too i remember you mentioning a while back 😵😵😵🔪 aaaaaugh, I'm glad your time off this week seems like it went well!!

MelMel

Omg he can be such a cutie patootie he looks like a loving husband here thank you for this man

Vyneah

I love how you do the expressions every. Single. Time. Strade was never my favorite character, but oh God, I think his redesign is changing that- I also wanted to say a few words, although it may sound exaggerated. In a university subject I had to make a story based on an image. Since they told us that we could use one that we already had in mind and that it could be about anything, I decided to use a story of two secondary Oc's from my main story, which includes cannibalism, murder, kidnapping and more because I wanted to develop it a bit more. Yesterday I had to give a presentation of what I had done until now and it went well, the teacher even told me she liked the idea and was looking forward to read it! I'm grateful to have known your work this year, seriously. You indirectly helped me to not be afraid to show some of my stories. I think that at another time of my life I wouldn't have dared to do it, but knowing your games gave me that courage I needed, and I thank you for it. Lastly, I wish it was autumn in my country, here it's spring and the weather it's so hot already T-T I hope you have a great weekend!

mmajee

I do love a man who brings food to me 💓

Moon

Is that a sandwich i see? Might halucinating? Not energy bars? XD and- and- and- water? Hahahah lovely xD IM SO HYPED YYAYAYAYAYAYA have a great new week gato~❤️✨️

Villain_Simp

ITS GATODAY!!! I’m not a big fan of strade but I gotta admit that his sprite looks REALLY HANDSOME (im still stick with ren tho he’s the best U U ) I hope you have a nice rest! Thank you for your hard work!! Btw if you ever change your mind about opening commissions please tell me. i’d sell my kidney for this! (Jk😔)

Boneberry

Glad you had a good break!! And omg Strade with the mystery meat sandwich

lili

SillyBoy

SillyBoy

mimi

YIPPIEEEE SATURDAY UPDATE gatooo ur doing such a good job!!!! aaahhhh i love stradeeee.... take care<3

plapx3

I actually never even looked at his body I was gazing into his lovely eyes

plapx3

Mans an absolute unit, mind boggling physique. Absolutely wild image. The light of the heavens is shining down on him. What you see after you die. Strade YKMET flexing while he hands you a meal. Bench presses Ren Hana every single day of his life. Brother canonically struggles to fend you off with that arm width. I never thought I'd say this but maybe I should be more like him

Vivie

that’s so awesome! god, it’s been so long since i’ve played the first game.. anyways! i’ll probably be nagging you next week, because that’s my special ability 🫶

Gatobob

I do love those chibis, but I have a slightly more ambitious idea for a secret unlock this time which I’ll have to do myself. Not sure if I’ll be able to pull it off though!

Sly

Loving how it's turning out! Always enjoy any update so dont worry even if its just a check in. The game is awesome but i also love hearing about the creator behind it. Also love the newest Ren and Fox piece you posted on your art page. Kinda feel bad for Ren in it. 😅 I always make sure with each Sat update to check it as well. 💜

IM SO IN LOVE WITH UR NEW ARTSTYLE!!! it reminds me of TINR sm ♥️ I was also wondering if darxq would still be doing the little character chibis for ykmet? they r so cute :)

Gatobob

Oh it will definitely be released way after that 😂 My very loose release date for now is 'Spring 2025', with an estimate more towards late spring. If I estimate getting 10 images done per week, the remaining art will take 21 weeks. That puts the art completion somewhere around February or March depending on how many break I take and actual productivity, etc. That's just the art though- the game still needs more development after the art is done. [ https://www.dirtymurdergames.com/pgs/ykmetstrade.php has a completion chart showing the remaining steps to be done, like sound design etc ] That remaining work could take 3-4 months, depending on how things go. So the game could be out as late as July if things go quite slowly.

Yummy

Gatobob

Correct! After Strade will be Lawrence, then Ren. I chose that order since that's how I generally intended the originals to be played [ Ren was a more 'secret' route, and his route had Lawrence in it, which I feel will have more impact if the player actually knows who lawrence is- some new players may not have played the original games ] As for if there will be more, I have no plans for more. But I have no plans in general, as the combination of these 3 games will probably end up being 5-6 years of work and that's enough planning ahead for me 😂

dogfood69

You’re always like ‘ I haven’t done much’ and I sit here remembering like 1.5 years ago I was watching the vod that was just the BRAINSTORM for this…that’s so fast! Hope you get all the rest you need !

Gatobob

I would say that almost all of the endings in the first game are represented in this new one. Everything has been fully re-written of course so they happen a bit differently [ usually to the tune of 'more content' ]. Only a couple of endings from the original game have been dropped [ because I felt they were too boring or too out of character for strade ]. YKMET:Strade has 21 endings, so some of them are entirely new as well.

This brought a smile to my face. Been without power for over a day now cuz of the hurricane that passed, but seeing Strade is a great distraction.

snapper

thought i saw a comment a bit ago regarding the order of ykmet but i wanted to confirm ^_^ its going to be strade, lawrence, then ren right? are those three going to be it or will there be more?

Vivie

aww, see? strade isn’t all that bad…😅 ms. i-ask-too-many-questions, here, i don’t wanna know which, but which (of all the endings) are similar/the same to the first game? :o

Taheca

Good for you for working at a reasonable pace! 💛 Very eager to see those other ones, and glad to see the one you were able to show us!

lili

every gatorday when gato reveals more progress its like the pancakes that only can be cooked 0,1% chance in a whole year that you wish you could bake it one more time to reach the flawless feeling of having a decent breakfast with the perfect amount of sugar, puffiness, flatness, exact thoroughly cooked with the right color, that doesn’t overwhelm when eaten with honey or chocolate and doesn’t taste flavorless when eaten plain

kenny

very swagger i’m glad you are resting as well !! woo hoo

Rebeccah

Stoppppp no I’m Stockholm syndrome’d He heard we were thirsty out here 🥵

☆ Eri!

the real food is those arms GAAAAAAAAAH (have a good week and rest gato! <3)

kikibadger

Glad you were able to get some rest! And it's exciting to hear that you'll be working on the 'CG' images soon! I'm just so so excited for how much content will be in YKMET, it's okay if progress seems "slower" for a time! Also love the Strade image~ So bulky, so hairy~

Minabena

Great stuff as always proud of you for taking a much needed break! Hang in there we are all proud of all the work you do for this game

lawrence

i cannot believe we are at 72%!!! Im so fucking excited to see more progress till the game actually comes out!! Strade is always lookin' like his true, hot ass self. gosh, im so ready. Thank you for this update gato!! Have a safe and beautiful weekend! 💓💓

Spiralofvertigo

Naw honestly a glass of water and a sandwich is what I needed. Take care!

Noah Cantrell

TAKE ALL THE REST YOU NEED GATO!! We support and care for you!! Also live laugh love Strade

KEFY

Glad to see you feeling better! And Strade giving us a REALLY generous meal actually, it makes me giggle. 🥹

SillyBoy

RAHHH YOU'VE RUINED MY BRAIN IN THE BEST WAY (I'm now writing fanfiction abt William Afton loosely inspired by how fucked up strade is..) thank you 🫡 This sprite is so yummy. I took a break from my writing to stare at him
