I don't know how I screwed up so badly this week that I've got nothing to show for it but I did.

As long as I'm still alive there is hope.

I'll see you all next week.

Also I'm going to be super honest for the second post, I discovered mahjong this week and tried it for the first time.

I got obsessed with it and suffered as a result.

It is too much fun even if I lose 85% of the time.

Also drawing a robot was fun, it was nice to just draw something for my own sake without sharing it.

I think I understand now why some artists have notebooks that they never share with anyone.

Once a week update: Finished script for eventual demo of zombie game.

Did behind the scenes stuff to setup steam page.

My final barrier is five screenshots since I'm nervous about using alpha art.

I haven't nailed down the art style yet. Did a secret project.

Drew a robot.

See you all next week

Sometimes you have to work in the shadows to be able to end up doing something cool later.

Anyways I will see you all next week. Thank you for keeping up with me.

Once a week update:

I'll be part of the Modern Trans Narratives in Games Exhibition at Boshi's Place. The money raised during the exhibition will go to Metro Inclusive Health who provided healthcare to me during some of my worst moments.

I am grateful that in a small way I am able to give back to them.

Otherwise I don't have much to update this week. My cold got way worse before it got better.

I've been doing behind the scenes work on a translation that I'd been neglecting.

Once a week check-in.

I got a cold. It sucks.

I did some concept art.

I was digging through an interview and was surprised to get smacked in the face with how slow I am.

The truth is I've always been a turtle game developer.

I'm really behind on replying to emails.

I appreciate people being patient with me.

Good or bad I'll see you all next week with another update.

There is a fanzine series called "Indiepocalypse” that deals with games.
My game was featured in issue 9.

Initially, HFTGOOM was scheduled to be completed in a month, and |
told Andrew, who does "Indiepocalypse,” that he could include it when it
was completed.

In the end, HFTGOOM took years. Unfortunately, | am a really hopeless
person, and it's really a miracle that | was able to complete anything at
all, including this artbook.

Translated from japanese original message:


『Indiepocalypse』という、ゲームを扱った同人誌シリーズがあります。その第9号で私のゲームが特集されました。

当初、HFTGOOMの制作は一ヶ月で終わる予定で、『Indiepocalypse』をやっているAndrewに、完成したら収録していいよ、と伝えていました。

結局、HFTGOOMには何年もかかりました。残念ながら私はほんとうにどうしようもない人間で、なんであれなにかを完成させられたというのはほんとうに奇跡のようなことなのです。このアートブックもです。Tactical Survival Sword Type NeiF
(Foam Blade)
Officially Licensed - Limited Edition (Numbered)
Deluxe Version - MRSP: 499.00 USD

A foam sword used during the zombie apocalypse as a survival tool.

@HauntedOwlbear This is a scoped down version of the previous game we've talked about but like zombies are easier to code at my skill level.

I think it's going to be a fun game and for the first time I had a title before I finished the game.

Working on a steam page.

See you all next week. :)

Eek! Hormones of the Dead!

A trans woman is flipping out because she just saw a zombie apocalypse. All she wants to do is pick up her hormone prescription from the ruins of her local walgreens but instead she has to face crowds of the dead.

Oh no. :<

Once a week update.

I'm still out here trying.

Here's my favorite prototype moment of the week.

Theres a trans woman during the zombie apocalypse. 

She looks like shes about to cry.

"Noooooooo! No way no way no way! I’d rather be a zombie than detransition!

I wouldn’t be caught dead looking like that."

She is probably going to end up a zombie but at least she won't be detransitioned.

Once a week check-in.

I don't really have any super cool progress shots I can show off.

One script is rough finished start to end which means after editing I could start producing a short game.

Response to the script was 100% negative but I found two people willing to read it.

I'll see how it goes with them.

Even if it turns out to be a bad game I might run with it simply to break my curse of not releasing anything.

See you all next week.

 The sun is setting on a zombie apocalypse.

Once a week post.

Mostly just making progress slowly.

Doing better.

Technically I could post a ton of random shots and storyboarding but I really don't want to spoil my own game at this point.

See you all next week.

Purple haired trans woman in an orange romper wearing thigh highs.

Shes a dumb baby but actually an adult. Shes a trans woman who is going to have to survive an apocalypse. Not post apocalypse but active and terrible.

@bandreghetti Hi Bruno, I am really glad that you found value in the stuff I make and think I'm a decent person.

I'm not sure I'm that respectable ( in person I'm kinda a loser and that's fine)
but it is nice to hear.

I'm doing better this week, thank you for caring.

Hey everyone, I'm still having mental health issues this week.

(Randomly crying, telling people trying to help me I hate them, being a mess)

I've managed to get some gamedev stuff done but a lot of it is scripts which I can't really post or I'd spoil my game.

I hope next week is a better and I get my life together.

It sucks being mentally ill.

See you next week.

Also if you were the person who sent a song I wanted to let you know it really meant a lot to me. I'm sorry I didn't reply.

I'm sorry I was having mental health issues this week.

Due to that there aren't any updates this week.
