We aim to give everybody something to enjoy here at, uh, Tufty Games...Studios(?), so here's a picture of Casey post-transformation celebrating the new year in...some fashion. I'll leave it up to you guys to come up with the story behind this one ;)
In less sexy news, I've failed in my rather lofty goal of finishing The Weekend by the end of the year. But it was always a bit of a long shot, unless I wanted to add some bad ends where Casey is unceremoniously killed off. So onward we go, and unless I get hit by a bus I will definitely finish the game this year. I've very much enjoyed working on it and I still have plenty of ideas, but part of me can't wait for it to be finished. It's at ~325k words with 2219 passages, which is way more than I ever planned. But it turns out this story is way more complicated, emotional, and investing than I thought. Which can only be a good thing, right?
So as we enter the new year I wanted to send out a sincere, heartfelt thank you to all my patrons. You guys! I know my updates are more sporadic than is best to maximize my patronage (or whatever), but honestly I'm okay with that. I know the people that keep donating are the ones who literally just want to support me, and aren't looking for some sort of mercenary transaction system with crazy tiers of complicated rewards and whatever else. So thank you.
With that said, if there's anything you guys would like to see more of going forward, don't hesitate to reply here or send me a PM. Personally, I'd like to post more art and questions along the lines of the game engine discussion a while back.
