Mentally insane but in a cool way
Play GateTail: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2410130/GateTail/
To clarify, I did not make GateTail HOWEVER I am working on an official update for it now!

The game I'm working on "GateTail" has always has an art minigame, but I recently took way too much time fleshing it out with an UNDO button and a clear canvas button. Here's a speedpaint my brother did.

Made a cool custom transition to this bossfight I've been slaving away on.

Free him

A poor sheep on a cracking slab of ice on the brink of being frozen. The player character from GateTail can only stand in horror at the scene playing out in front of them.

when you rage bait not only the developers but steam support as well:
Top text: This review has been banned by a Steam moderator for violating the Steam Terms if Service. It cannot be modified by the reviewer. Store page: Ikode: Legacy of the Elements 1 person found this review funny Posted Aug 15 @ 5:18pm Product received for free "bro was the type of guy to see the example level in mario maker 2 and say 'wow i can't believe they made a level for me!'" Review text continued "fuck off generic rpg maker slop im going to throw a beer bottle at your infant son and kill him and kill him aghain and kill him with rocks and throw him into the sun and then the sun again and then the son i was gifted this game and i still feel scammed Not a lick of effort was put into any part of this game. The writing is bland and boring. The plot is not worth going through the empty world and meaningless room upon rooms of worthless dungeons. The character designs are some of the worse anime-style impersonation shit I've ever seen. It's made in rpgmaker MV, meaning the options are extremely bare bones. The cutscenes have blatant scripting errors in them, with characters walking through each other and large groups of people disappearing before your eyes when the dialogue ends. There is absolutely 0 variation from the default rpgmaker battle system, so battles take forever and escaping isn't even guaranteed. I doubt any of the music is original. This was gifted to me because it looked like a generic rpgmaker slop game, because it is one. The onlt use this has is gifting to your friends as a joke, but I wouldn't even recommend doing that because then that would bring the dev ever closer to cashing out this worthless drivel." Besides the part about throwing his infant son into the sun (which was so absurd I assumed everyone would clearly see it was a joke) I think I was pretty on point. Developer response posted Aug 31 at 9:52am "I'm sorry that the game was so disappointing for you. Making this game was something I did to pass the time during the pandemic, along with composing the music which all IS original actually (and I have the files to prove it, not that I care to prove myself to a random internet troll.) I do have to question your mental state though for the fact that you chose to play a game you knew going in was going to be generic RPG maker crap if you hate those kinds of games so much, then writing such an aggressively negative review. Do you really have nothing better to do with your life than to bully hobby game developers and threaten their children? What's wrong with you?"

Did you know that my favorite game of all time #GateTail has a sequel on #Steam called #Brinemegeddon?
I refuse to provide any context for the screenshot from it.

A moment from the video game Brinemegeddon. Giant photoshop cat boss fight.

After buying #rpgmakermz, I started doing science experiments on my favorite game #gatetail
The experiments were successful.
#indiegames #rpgmaker
A segment from one of Hackstr's videos playing inside of the GateTail game window using the "play movie" function inside rpg maker mz. Being able to dissect these games on this deep a level was one of the best worst things to ever happen to me.

#KirbyAirRiders looks really fun and I probably would've played it. However, it's $70 and exclusive to the Switch 2. And why get one kirby air rider when you can get 14 copies of #GateTail on #Steam for You and 13 Of Your Closest Friends and have fun dying to common rat encounters.

Exactly. Like why play soulless literal-definition-of-cash-grab gacha games when you can play GateTail for five dollars on steam

Jeffery's House. Various objects are scattered randomly throughout the floor such as cabinets, tables, chairs, bookshelves, and fireplaces. A Lone piano sits near the back of the house. Jeffery himself is currently speaking to your about his thoughts on the current socioeconomic climate in the UK.

I think this makes Fred one of the most diabolical characters to ever exist 😭
#gatetail #indiegames
The character of "Chief Carnelian" saying, "Entering the Burgski Railway won't be FREE." "Chief Carnelian" saying, "1,000 Gold :)" to enter the Burgski Railway with the optional responses being "WHAT", "Uhhhh", and "Here you go!" "Chief Carnelian" saying, "Look, I don't make the rules!" With the optional responses being, "Yes, you do you RUN THIS PLACE" and "You're right, I'll pay." The pay option is highlighted as the next option in this dialogue tree. FRED, who is revealed to actually be Chief Carnelian the whole time, "TIME TO INVEST THIS IN CRYPTOCURRENCY!!!"

A Florid in GateTail saying "Can you PLEASE steal my stuff a little quieter?" He was trying to sleep after all, very rude.

I got my two cents in! (I drew that peak rendition of my bird on my phone jackbox style lmao)
Hackstr's Undertale memory submission that states, "Undertale is a pretty rad game because 6 years later it inspired Jofini to make GateTail and that has impacted my life over an arguably longer span of time. You should go check it out!"

Happy pride month ‼️
Discord screenshot between me and one of my friends. Hackstr: Remember, if you don't smooch your homies 6 times a day this month, you're homophobic 😉 Shadow: I'm alone at home and have no homies to smooch. Am I still homophobic?? Hackstr: Yeah sorry :pearbaby:
