TWITF! #198

YO FOLKS! Look at this supa cute animation I've been fuckin' with! I've got quite a bit more in the sequence, but it's not done yet ;)

Anywho this is what we've been up to this week!

Starting with a word from Vixel!

10/21 update:

Heya floofs!! <3 The last couple weeks I've been working on feature updates and polish for our upcoming itch.io build. Highlights include upgrades to our system for critter interaction icons to help differentiate which critters have something new to say and which ones can advance a quest; more/better quest log messages in various quests to prompt the current step; the ability to view critters in the critter log as soon as you discover them, before you learn their names (Fish, Wolf); upgrades to chapter select to make it remember more nonlinear stuff, like the critter bio notes you unlock from gossips. Found and fixed some more bugs as well!

This week I'll hopefully be wrapping up my pre-itch todo list, then Carrot and I need to do a bunch of extra playtesting. Have a lovely week! <3

This Itch builds taken A LOOOOT longer to get out than we were expecting. There's really nothing else to it but there's lots of things to change/fix, which results in other things to change and fix. Kinda a never ending task xD But we're nearing the end of it, like, seriously this time xD

SOO meanwhile I've had a bit of time to fuck around! So let's see what I've been up to!

BLFC!

A bit ago I went to BLFC! I showed the mabel's around and folks loved it! Sprout and I also pulled of a short vertical slice of the Horsing Around game to demo around too! WHICH FOLKS LOVED ALSO! That one's also pretty dang close to being released in here, maybe next month!

MABELS!

Second batch of mabels should be shipping out to me now! I had to do a lot of follow up with this from shipping out replacement mabels to tracking down missing packages >o> Lots of stuff learned from this first launch, so hopefully things will be smoother moving forward!

3D!

Since I've been back from BLFC, I've been fuckin' around with 3D! The yuumi and rocket rigs were some of my favorites that I've gotten a hold of, and I've been prepping them for more convenient use/animation. I spent a good few days doing so, thus the animation above :>

DRAWING!

I've also been doodling a bit! i saw BAD GUYS 2 and I fell in love with DOOM. She's amazing. If y'all haven't seen the movie yet, definitely go check it out! So I've got a lot of doodles of her that were paid for by a friend. I'll post them in a separate post since cross posting is kinda a pain in the ass atm with inserted images.

TFOL!

Despite kinda waiting for bug crushing, I still have a buhjillion things I can do for TFOL, so I started the more extensive game document for the Fishing game! I had the lil "pitch" document, but the actual game design document is so the dev can understand everything that will need to be accounted for, how mechanics work, what the game is looking for before it launches etc etc.

Have a tiny image for ants so there's no spoilers! Not that... I care too much about spoilers for these things... But it'd deserve it's own post. SO later!

ANyways I think that's it. I wanna show more shit for the Horse stuff soon, so keep your eyes peeled!
