Saturday Update!
🕑 Added 2024-03-16 15:00:05 +0000 UTCHello folks! It's time for updates!
I'm currently out on a long weekend vacation, but I've written this on Wednesday night and scheduled it for Saturday- so 'hi from the past' I guess!
I can say that I got a fair amount done for 3 days! I really hustled my hardest to make up for my time off LMAO
Here's the current placeholder progress:
Only one floating ending left!! 🎉
Let's show a few sneak peeks as usual- then I'll talk a bit about my plans for the next steps after the placeholders are done.
Almost there... I should finish the last ending's placeholders next week.
-------------------
I've made some fairly specific plans for what to do next!
- get art on DMG [ devote latter half of Fridays to this until it's done ] [ refamiliarize with photoshop's automate to extract fulls and thumbs, remove stupid lightbox, just put in raw with links ] also add in content warnings at top of art page
- build Google doc and fix permissions for Alpha testing bug reports/suggestions
- build warnings page
- build endings gallery
- build death token/hint system [ built in with endings gallery ]
- adjust floating ending balance [ need more optional health drops, need more optional sanity drops, need more optional strade love increases that do not adjust lover stat or lower it ]
- find Alpha test volunteers
That work should probably take me to somewhere around mid-April I think. Most of those tasks are only like a half day to 2 days of work each.
I won't ask for Alpha testers yet [ because I'm not ready yet ] but if you're interested, please be aware that it's a lot of work and kind of ruins the fun of the game [ sad but true ]. Alpha testing really isn't the fun one- you wanna wait for Beta testing if you just want to play the game early.
I'll be looking for people with writing/editing experience, game testing experience, and people willing to sign an NDA/show me their ID [ I will only need 5-10 people ]
-------------------
Oh! I also snuck in a tiny bit of time before work when I woke up early to do some music program lessons! A few people suggested a program called 'Ableton', so I downloaded a 30 day free trial of Albeton Live and started doing the built-in lessons for beginners.
I'm really excited to say I'm having a great time! I love it! Obviously, I barely understand anything, but the lessons got me to the point of making my first little midi loop ^o^
[ I've added it as a download to this Patreon post in case anyone wants to hear it, but it's VERY VERY beginner and just a tiny little loop LMAO ]
So far I'm incredibly impressed with this program. It has so many 'training wheel' type features for novices like me to be able to make something cool- despite having basically no experience. I'm excited to play with it more when I get some free time!
[ I know the full version is rather expensive... but I've got a month to keep learning it for free. That can be future Gato's problem ]
-------------------
Last thing- I got an email from my merch supplier! They're finished making my order! They said they'll send it 'this week' and I think my shipping should be around 15 days hopefully... so I think we're still on course to get the next merch drop with the fox dakimakuras near the end of March 👍
-------------------
Take it easy and stay safe this weekend! Thank you guys so much for your support! I'll see you next week- hopefully with finished placeholders???

I love the effects on the health and sanity bars and the way the chains move. Also will there be any endings where we survive or will it all be death endings?
