My animation journey, new Patreon tiers, animation workshop, supporter artwork.
Do you know what's cool? Finishing an animation. Do you know what's not cool? Looking at that same animation a while later.
I often finish them thinking I made the hardest-hitting shit to ever exist in 3D, only to catch myself wanting to rework it all three days after release.
But... this time, this hasn't happened. I'm pretty damn happy with where my animations are going. I'm pre...
It's been 84 years... (Battling the process, Itch.io keys, some cool stuff)
Olá! It's been a while since I stopped by with news, and I'm glad to see the locks haven't changed. Let's have a seat.
I usually write one of these every time I release a new chapter but I was so incredibly burned out then I don't think I'd have been capable of stringing together more than two cohesive sentences here.
The release of 4.0.0 and how I battled the process.

2022-12-24 22:32:13 +0000 UTC View PostNews: The mildly annoying and the highly satisfactory.
In the last three posts, I often caught myself thinking "damn - I'm really nailing this Patreon thing! I'm already posting again even though my last post was last week!", and every time, I'm met with the harsh truth. My last post was last month. Time is slipping through my fingers like boiling noodles.
I digress.

Almost done (90-90 rule, Itch.io version, last steps).
Hey there, fellas - I hope you're all safe. I bring news.
(Before we start, if this post is barely readable, it's because I'm sleepy as hell.)
90-90 rule.
Roughly two months ago, I got done with the majority of the content for Chapter 4, including a lot of its code. When asked, I replied that there was only "ten percent" left before t...
Surprisingly not abandoned.
First of all, I can't stress this enough, but MW is NEVER going to be abandoned.
Being a game dev is my lifelong dream. I've got the opportunity to set foot in a more welcoming territory/genre and make a story I'm invested in and deeply in love with. The only way I'd stop working on Mad World would be if I died, or a terrible life experience took me away from it. Su...

Boy, do I love my life. I hope you're all loving yours, too! It's been a while since I've done a proper status update. Let's get to it (I'll give you some context on these images, I promise).

"No" won against "yes" 37 to 28. Almost ten more people agree that tier-locked content is a bad move right now - so it's settled. It doesn't mean I ...
Poll for tier-locked content.
In the previous post, I detailed how and why I tried to make extra content as accessible as possible, how that backfired, and how I felt about that.
So, I need help to decide...
Should I start putting out tier-locked content? That means a lot more NSFW stuff, with more quality, but they'll be behind paywalls. This Patreon page is my platform of choice more than anything else a...

Hi, everyone - I hope you're doing great!
This is a new post tag I'll be using from now on every time I have something to share that's not extra content or status updates.
In this post:
☛ Android port;
☛ Next games (and their systems);
☛ Tier-locked content;

Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you're doing fine. It is finally here. We're closing this chapter, and moving to a new exciting one with lots of new features.

SMG Development Roadmap (Goals as an Adult Game Dev).
I'm sure everyone saw what the goals on this Patreon page are. 50 patrons to stretch development for another year, and 100 to make it permanent. Contrary to what some might think, money does not change the fate of the project. What I consider "development" is actively working towards improvement. Funding changes how much time I can spare to do that and still call myself a "developer".

I think I might have conquered the noise in my images... (also, Chapter 3.3 sneak peek)
As you can see in this image, no noise.
Alright, how do I put it...I think I might have 500+ images in my game with insane amounts of noise for no reason at all.
Let me explain...
Back when I was rendering using my CPU, noise was a problem I couldn't avoid. I check...
So, I was testing some lighting today...
...and I decided I wanted to make some extra artwork.
