Woahhh amazing work!!! :DDD !!! It's all looking so great!! The whole death token idea sounds great!!! I'm pretty useless when it comes to figuring out secrets etc so having hints that could point me in the right direction instead of looking up guides sounds much more enjoyable!!! >:333 Ahhh just joined Patreon but just wanted to say you're doing amazing Gato and have been a major inspiration of mine for many years!!!! Thank you for making such great content!!! <333

I'm surprised I didn't comment on this already, but I love love LOVE the death token idea!! It definitely will help trying to find new endings if you get stuck on some of them!! It's also a cool way to add replay value to keep dying to unlock all the character art and other extras!!

Damagedcoda

Keep fighting! :)

dddr

let's GOO gato keep it up, we've already come so far!!! can't wait for the game

mmajee

Ooh the death token thing sounds great, I'm always struggling with getting all the endings ^^'

vi

woohoo placeholders completed!! i admire your work ethic gato

w h e w that last placeholder is something else 👁👄👁 Best of luck with alpha testing, I hope you're able to get a good team together!

In the old games it used to be magic but I didn't like that so I'm retconning it. If I ever get a chance to make YKMET: Ren he will be hiding his ears and tail in a more practical way [ with a toque/beanie and a backpack ]

Gatobob

Making and selling merch based on my work is totally okay as long as it's your artwork :D

Gatobob

If the site gets revamped they wont be lost but they might be rearranged or temporarily down. For the moment I'm forced to just hard code it all in but I'm hoping someday I can switch it to a database. It's not really a big deal though either way tbh!

Bella-foreva

Yay! He’s so beautiful 💕

AAAA IM SO EXCITED! THE PROGESS LOOKS AWESOME!! 💓 it's so cool that your testing out music, love to see what your coming up with!!

kota

i wish strade was real so i could harass him on the internet by messaging him telling him to post pole and hole ;’( your desk setup goes crazy though. hi tails

ShinanaEvangelian

Wonderful news to hear! I am so excited! I hope it goes well and best of luck to your music lessons. Also off topic question I have that bugs me. How did Ren hide his fox ears and tail when he was out in public? Sorry for the question, this has been bugging me and I wish to know.

i just wanted to ask a question 👉👈 is it possible to make merch with your characters, and what are the necessary conditions for this? my girlfriend @dudosik_0 drawing your OCs and we have an idea to do some merch, but we dunno is it okay, so we decided to ask you about it 🙏🙏🙏

Charunia ❤️‍🔥🔨

hello dear Gato!!! HUUUUGE GREETINGS TO YOU BECAUSE OF PLACEHOLDERS WORK ENDING 😍😍🔥🔥🔥💐💐💐💐💐 and.. if you still need alpha testers, you can call me - I'm working as a QA engineer ~1 year and I think, can be helpful 💖 I also want to say thank you because of your work with sound and updated coding things - you just goddess for me, i just ~~~~~~

Leo ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

I never done alpha testing before, but it sounds like an interesting way to help with game development. Correct me if I'm wrong but alpha testing primarily looks at figuring out ways the game is naturally buggy, but also intentionally finding ways to "break" the game to locate hidden problems ahead of time, IIRC? 🤔 If you ever make a formal post detailing what you're specifically expecting out of an alpha tester, I'll be sure to give it a looksee to see if I have enough time commitment, skills, etc. to be reliable for the role. But yeah, happy to hear you got the placeholders done and also continuing to play around with expressing yourself through music! 🥳 I'm no composer myself, but I reckon music can help express yourself in ways that the limits of visual art sometimes can't. Bet it'll be fun to play around with the psychology that underlies music design (eg. how major keys tend to sound "happy" while minor keys tend to sound "sad" to the majority of people; or how horror games like Silent Hill have the rare serene music that'll stand out among their more surreal, gritty, and omnious tracks). 😁

AAA I'm so excited for you on learning music! I hope you have a lot of fun with this new avenue, it's a hobby on my bucket list to learn too as a creator. I would love to alpha test so my eyes will be PEELED

pk

awesome update!! and the token system sounds really cool! the little keyboard looks so cute HAHA i know you will put it to good use! and i can't wait for the merch drop... every saturday i look forward to it LOLOL *holds my wallet and jumps in joy* I hope you have a great week moving forward ^_^!!

LYNX

alpha testing is something i’ve always wanted to do! seems like hard work, but it would be cool to be apart of something

alexito

EVERYTHING IS LOOKING SOO GOOD, AAA.🖤i'm so excited how all is going on by far and i'm glad that all the placeholders are finished, strade's looking hot af as always, lol. btw i LOVE how you revamped the website, and i hope you put more of your atwork there. have a nice week, gato, good luck w ur piano lessons and take care of urself too.🖤

ocs

AAAAAA words can't describe how excited I am to see updates on this game!!! the new additions, like the death tokens, really bring it to a new level!!

Nephrite v2

So exciting! I hope you take a moment to celebrate finishing all the placeholders - this is a huge milestone! The amount of work you are doing is insane and incredibly inspiring. It’s great to see all your old art on the site too! Some of your more recent works I don’t think got uploaded on social media, it’s nice a lot of art is easily accessible and no longer buried. When the site gets revamped they’re not going to get lost though are they? I hope you’re doing alright right now! Thanks for the update!

FluffyTail

hell yeah! hope alpha testing goes well! (and if i’m picked, I hope to help ya fix some bugs :3)

💐🌼🌻🌸🌹

How exciting! Thanks for all your hard work! 💗

Neodorothy

I NEED TO KISS HIM.

Neodorothy

Amazing as always i'm so excited to hear your music !! I yell every time i see strade AAAAAAHHH

Rotten God

As always, everything is perfect!!! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

Oh yes, I was reading this one before! I was a little surprised they needed hashlib and os since they used those to basically write new functions that already exist in renpy [ define config.screenshot_pattern kind of covers both ] Although.... it looks like these posts are from 2011 and I think define config.screenshot_pattern was added a lot later than that. BUT I DIGRESS, I will for sure be checking this more thoroughly and seeing if I can use some of this code from my own purposes. Hopefully it's not too deprecated!

RedBeans

if config.screenshot_callback doesn't work out, maybe try adapting from bink's implementation of a camera function tied to a UI button from the forums. It has the added bonus of being able to hide the UI for a screenshot https://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?t=11813

PennyFaust

As always, Strade looks too damn good, it's not fair. Killing me before the game is even out. Congratulations on all the progress you've made! You're doing amazingly, and about to learn how to make music to boot. I can't wait to hear the things you come up with! I hope you get some rest in, and good luck with the upcoming week!

Gatobob

Don't be sad!! Honestly I would feel the same about a game I was excited for- I even refuse to play early access stuff myself LMAO

kikibadger

Aaaaaah placeholders done, how exciting!! “He was looking like he had BUILT something magnificent,” goes so hard, heckin love that. Good luck and have fun with the music learning!!

Mori Covington

I'm a QA tester professionally and would LOVE to be able to say I worked on this game- but I refuse to have the experience ruined 😅 Good luck though! I hope music making clicks for you. I want to see what you put in this game, if you make your own music. Ugh, terribly sad about not being able to sign up. I'd genuinely love it but these games are too special to me and I want to experience it in full.

Gatobob

It's one token every time you die- even when it's the same way. It's pretty easy to scam the tokens and just get a ton easily, but that's the way I think it should be. It's just for fun anyway! I like the idea of the game being exactly as difficult as people WANT it to be.

Emily Lemur

It just gets BETTER and BETTER! 💐

Gatobob

Beta testing will be available to all Patreon supporters I think! ^o^

June

YAY I'm so happy and excited thank you Gato!!!

Moni S

i’m just wondering…is it one token per death? or does it depend on said death? thanks 💕🇬🇧💕💕

metalthorax

I don't think I'd be a good alpha tester because I'm Bad At Games but I would so down to proofread!! congratulations gato ;v;

V.

Sly

Actually, Just noticed Ren isnt wearing his collar so must be a post strade situation.

Sly
