A lot of work got done on this guy, with only 1 skill left to animate in order to get the first demo out. So stay tuned for that.

3 days late but happy 2nd Anniversary of Thurman's Ouroboros for all the Thurman fans out there who follow me for Thurman's Ouroboros exclusively.

The game has just surpassed 21 downloads! That's like, 10 downloads per year!!!

- 4 Skill Animations
- 1 New Enemy
- 1 New Boss
- 1 Portrait (seen here)
- Other shit I forgot

Touching up Area 1. No idea if the demo will resemble the "old demo version," or the full release version more.

But I intend to get a demo out soon.

Going back to Area 1 briefly. I might have to go with Plan B and just drop a pre-KS demo with no music.

Modern algorithms are fucked, and I've gotta sell myself a bit short to get anywhere.

Another big re-design. I was never one of those edgy, Happy Tree Friends goreslop kids. But I guess it's just the natural end result of making any kind of cartoony adult thing.

Devlog 4 is done outside of the PW clips.

Gonna spend the next week getting footage-worthy work done, and then I'll release the video on the 22nd-23rd.

They're about to sing a Christmas carol, dude.

Trying to make tilesets look good is a pain, this is gonna be a pain.

But it already looks better now that I've removed the nutsack texture on the white buildings.

I have a massive headache from headbutting a wall yesterday. I'm gonna take it easy for a bit. Sorry if updates slow down.

Silver lining: got an animation done today.
October 5, 2025 at 6:46 PM
- New Monster (its name is Psychic Vampire)
- 3 skill anims
- Devlog 4 editing
- Devlog 5 script on first draft

Outside of that, it's mostly just playtesting stuff that doesn't show off well on social media posts.

Last playtester was really on me about spellchecking. Found a pretty blatant misspelling of "injuries" as "injures" and he went like

"Treat his injures? What? Does he remember my genocides?"

A playtester made the first Pedestrian Wolves "meme!"

Make sure to share with your Friends.

- 5 Anims done this week, working on a 6th
- More playtesting and fixes
- Work on Devlog 4

Weird feeling being able to do a full rotation of a car. Early on in art this shit is like black magic. But nowadays it doesn't phase me

Got off my ass and did the last demo anim. Meaning that, aside from the music: all the polish is done.

I still don't have a strong idea of a release date, because this is as much of a marketing thing as it is a "for fun" thing.

Maybe I'll release a no-music ver to garner hype.

Something I like to do with my game is go a bit off-model. Either by mistake, or intentionally if a sketch looks charmingly odd.

I think it lends the game a more "hand-drawn" feel. Like what you'd get in a manga.

New enemies this week, plus some writing done for their related side-quests.

If you wanna get an idea of how far in advance I do them: I've already scripted the next video, edited some choice bits, and discarded these 3 thumbnails.

Wanted to visually tie it back to PW's "distance" motif while also just aping Flower Sun and Rain a little bit.

Just finished his recruitment. Still got 3 of his animations left before I can say the demo is FULLY playable.

Tbh, I'm getting really burnt out with the blue suburbs map. Been nothing but that for nearly half a year.

Newest video finally reached 300 views. LISA one surpassed 500 a while ago and is still going strong. 64 subs at current.

I'm glad I chose to do this shit, because even just a few eyes is a whole lot more than the nothing I would've had otherwise.
Happy with the growth so far. Genuinely do wonder what "normal" growth is supposed to be like for an artist on YT.

Hard to tell when you only see the people who've already "made it."
September 12, 2025 at 4:01 AM
Burnt out on demo stuff, so I've been working on later areas instead.

It took nearly 2 years, but I've finally added pedestrians to Pedestrian Wolves.
