It's, uh... definitely not the nicest GUI I've ever done, but I guess it'll work

(Still have to do the phone text message and "Discord" message GUIs anyway)

Progress? In any case, it's nice to see the (WIP) sprite and background in place

#MTRGame #IndieGameDev #BaraJam #GameDev

Oh, I don't think I ever shared the finished sprite for #MTRGame (CW: Shirtless man)

Here's Jason

He's gonna get reused for #DaddyDatingGame as well, and I'm still figuring out what else I'll commission for #BaraJam (given my artist's time constraints)

#IndieGameDev #GameDev

SoulsoftEA has been hard at work on the sprite for my #BaraJam game #MTRGame so here's a WIP

Meet Jason! Body hair coming soon, of course

(He's going to get reused for the full game series as well, where he'll be a dateable guy)

#GameDev #IndieDev #GameJam

Just a quick #MTRGame update: I (obviously) didn't hit my goal of finishing the writing by this past weekend, but we're now at 14,407 words and I think closing in on the end

So hopefully writing will be complete by *this* weekend, and then more UI and such

#IndieGameDev #BaraJam

Feeling weirdly unmotivated this weekend, but I've gotten at least the text message NVL-mode screens done (including the choice menu)

Again, not my greatest UI work, but counting progress as a win at this point 😅

Next: The menu GUIs

#MTRGame #BaraJam #IndieGameDev #GameDev

The "Messaging program" GUI is done, but I need to override a lot of the NVL mode styling... which is a problem for tomorrow-Bob 😅

(With thanks to Sylphrin, PatchrickPlayer1, JshBet8, and Jaykn8 for letting me feature them)

#MTRGame #IndieGameDev #BaraJam #GameDev

Been quiet on here recently, but just wanted to thank everyone who's checked out, played, and contacted me about Mother: The Revelation!

It gives me motivation (but unfortunately not the time) to keep working on other games in the series

Gogo gadget middle-aged gay representation! #MTRGame

Oh, forgot as part of my #MTRGame update yesterday... I'm currently at 8357 words

That's probably around half of the game written? Hoping to have it fully written by the end of the week (and have the phone GUI done) so I can do sprite staging, music, and testing

#BaraJam #IndieGameDev #GameDev

One of the first things I used to do for a new game was the GUI... I guess because it was a change from the writing part?

Now I'm kind of dreading it 😅

Anyway... maybe some #MTRGame GUI work today (as well as more writing)?

#BaraJam #GameDev

Annnd first draft of the #MTRGame script (for #BaraJam) is done, and that seems like a good place to call it tonight

17,501 words, and a more linear #VisualNovel than I usually write, but I'm still trying to ease back into it

Anyway... progress! Good night all 😘

#IndieGameDev #GameDev

And tonight in #MTRGame updates, I have finished staging the sprite (easy because it's a single sprite with only varying expressions), staged the music, and gotten the website mostly set up and ready

Counting that progress as a win for today

#BaraJam #IndieGameDev #GameDev

Gonna start using bsky a bit, maybe?

I'm currently working on a game for #BaraJam 2024!

It's the first in my intended-series of #queer games following middle-aged gays in a contemporary world with a SciFi twist... so #YAGS but not college

Should have more updates... soon?

#GameDev #MTRGame

#MTRGame is up to 6500 words, and I should make more progress on it today, so... hooray for progress?

It's a lot more linear than my games tend to be, but I also told myself 2024 would be a #GameDev light year, so easing back into writing with a simpler story makes sense

#IndieGameDev #BaraJam

Some more #MTRGame progress today... got the main menu worked out, exported the final sprite into the game, and set up a bunch of the other menus

Tomorrow(-ish): A logo, maybe getting some game music in...? And then sprite staging and such

#BaraJam #IndieGameDev #GameDev

Sorry for the lack of updates, but my #BaraJam game #MTRGame has been released!

It's a short game following a married couple navigating a new friendship and polyamory

Grab it here for free! Part one of a new middle-aged gays series
