The Weekend v2 0.1.9 alpha 2
🕑 Added 2022-07-06 20:55:52 +0000 UTCOh hello. Long time no see.
Well, as much as I didn't want to, I ended up taking an extended semi-hiatus from this project. Usually I would manage one or two passages every week or so, but it was really tough to get any momentum going. I wish I had a specific reason or cause so I could avoid it in the future, but I think it's just a combination of writer's block, personal stuff, and the world going to shit. Let's be real, it's challenging to feel inspired when it feels like the very worst people in the world are making more and more progress every single day in their never ending campaign to ruin everything.
So I decided to start back at the beginning and just do illustrations until I felt enough of a connection to the story and characters to work on the writing part. So I won't pretend this some monumental release...there's a chunk of new story that's essentially a bridge between Casey returning to Amelia's house and then deciding where to go next (in this case, it's Sophie's party). There's 8 new illustrations, all towards the beginning, plus a handful of new character avatars. I also redid some styling of the game and switched all the images to webp, which cuts down on the file size quite a bit even though there's more pictures. I tried some new stuff with some of the illustrations (like first-person view!) so let me know if it works or not. If you're at the tier to request illustrations and want one of your future requests to be first-person, let me know that as well.
So there you go! I'm going to try to get regular releases going again, so send me some positive vibes if you have any. I'm also very aware that I'm over my 2 game donation milestone. I've got a handful of side projects that are in varying degrees of readiness to share with you guys, and I hope to get at least one in a releasable state soon. Maybe I'll put together a teaser for each one so you guys can vote for your favorite.
Phew, that's a lot! Anyway, I hope you enjoy the release :)

P.S. If you in any way support the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to strip millions of women of their fundamental rights, you can fuck right off a cliff. Please unsubscribe and never come back. I hope you burn in whatever hell you believe is the most painful. Thanks!
For everyone else, I hope this brings a tiny bit of joy to your day. Much love!

"I hope you burn in whatever hell you believe is the most painful." 🤣 That's a Casey line if I ever heard one! Great to see you back! Haven't had to a chance to play all the way through yet but what I saw of the new images is excellent!
