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

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

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 #IndieDev #GameDev

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

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

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)

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 😘

#IndieDev #GameDev

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

#IndieDev #BaraJam #GameDev

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

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)
