May 2024 Update, Stuff and also a Quecto too as well
🕑 Added 2024-05-02 22:08:26 +0000 UTCI took way too long to put out another one of these posts, so let's get right into it.
Currently
My current project is something that, if I do indeed finish it (which is very much the plan) and release it as a web game, will be one of my largest games. I had hoped to get it done last month, but apparently after having made this many games I am still incapable of estimating the amount of work a game needs. The takeaway might be that games require a lot of time, but that take is hardly a hot one. As for the project itself, right now I think it will have the best effect if it suddenly comes out at some point without any context given. What I will say for now is: it is something quite different from the usual, but at the same time a lot of it will be very familiar if you've played my work. Especially if you've played Lampyrid Fog and Flame of the Banshee.

Quecto
Tl;dr: download for Tower Climber or higher tiered patrons here: https://ferociter.itch.io/quecto-games/patreon-access
For anyone who has pledged at least $3 but hasn't upgraded to the Tower Climber tier (or higher) yet (this isn't automatic): consider doing that so I can include you in the credits of the Quecto Games. If you want, of course.
Anyway, a new Quecto has been added to the evergrowing collection. I think this one is quite solid mechanic-wise, although it could certainly be improved if it ever gets the full-game treatment. All in all, pretty fun, but maybe a little too hard. Check the description on the Itch page for my notes on feedback for this specific Quecto. The newest version of the collection can be downloaded here: https://ferociter.itch.io/quecto-games/patreon-access
I'll try to keep the Quecto releases more consistent from now on. Apologies for the delay with this one. I'm also still considering creating some interesting meta mechanics for it, and then maybe switching to something else, but not in the near future.

I've done some work for Project Amidst since the last Patreon post. To be clear: everyone who was a patron at any point before September 25th last year (when I changed the tiers) is already included in the credits. Everyone who has been a >= $5 tier patron after that date at any point is also included in the credits. It'll still be a long time before it sees the light at the end of the dark, damp development tunnel.
If we ever miraculously get to 50 patrons, I'll make a patron channel on my Discord. I'm a bit too anxious to do it now.
That's it for now, bye!
