I've gotten a few new followers, so new #intro ?
I'm Bob, a #queer #IndieGameDev who makes mostly story-based games featuring gay men and queer relationships
My "flagship" series is #YAGS, about coming out in college, and I'm currently working on a series following middle-aged gays

Also wouldn't "Werehouse 69" be the perfect name for an adult furry Visual Novel game? Someone get on that please 😬

Bob is slightly regretting having 12 separate routes in #DaddyDatingGame because it's creating slightly ridiculous branching every time I even start a new game day
But, uh... finally finished day 13, and we're now at 118,778 words (9107 dialogue blocks) so... progress?

I'm hoping to have another game build out sometime in December, after the next sprite (Caleb) is done... Pat may be playtesting again, but I'm also happy to send out super unpolished WIP builds to others if they'd like to test and provide feedback
Progress!

A small #IndieGameDev update:
#DaddyDatingGame progress continues. I've been adding three (!) additional routes to the game and generally fleshing out those scenes and tying them into the current game flow... this'll make 10 total game routes
The game is now at 98,290 words (7534 dialogue blocks)

Would that entail updating some config so there's two auto-import image directories (with some prioritization of which one to take if equivalent-named images exist in both)?

I love that idea
The good news is you'd have a pretty easy time with it... your patch would only need to contain a single rpy file that overrides an HAS_PATCH define, which is built into an archive you can patch in

Today's #DaddyDatingGame progress was staging the completed sprites (Ryan, Jason, Santiago, Ethan) and backgrounds into the game... Gabe will hopefully follow soon
(Also got some writing done!)
It's a little sad we'll no longer have scenes that look like this though 😅

Oh my god
After over a year, day 7 of #DaddyDatingGame is finally done being written
And it is 2012 lines long (four times the length of the previous game Saturday)
Jesus what I have I done to myself?
Game is now 50,595 words and 3,991 dialogue blocks 😶

It's been interesting not writing things with the usual order that I tend to tackle my stories
We'll see how much this makes future-Bob miserable in the editing stage 😓

I've been making some slow progress on #DaddyDatingGame, mostly just filling in random new scenes as they come to mind without really trying to put them in the right place(s) yet
Now at 42,214 words (and on in-game day 7 😬 )

Also it's already May and I have made zero progress on my gamedev goals so far this year so... that's great 😅
I guess I should list some of mine 😅
I want to finish ZAGS: Study Pop, a match 3 game with unlockable YAGS-verse art (all art already completed)
I want to finish Mother: The Rebirth (all art already completed) and get the demo for the related Daddy Dating Sim out
And other TBD Mother-verse games

It occurs to me I haven't posted a #DaddyDatingGame update in a long time
The day job has been too busy to make serious progress, but I've been knocking out scenes (and scene-bits), and sprite progress has continued
The game is currently 38,348 words, and here's a WIP headshot of Gabe #GameDev
