january update

happy 2024! i hope the new year is doing you well. here's what i'll be working on this month!

• marron's day!!! this is my main project until it's finished. i just got the windows emulator working through steam so next i'm going to try mac & linux...! i really want to support all three platforms since that's what i've been doing up until now, but it's a bit more annoying with mac & linux so it's taking me some time
• exhibiting at tokyo game dungeon on 1/20-21!!! i'll be exhibiting marron there hopefully with a new demo but we will see... 
• playing around with a pet shop "virtual" version which has a virtual desktop inside it where you move files within the game instead of on your computer (which i guess just makes it a regular game haha but this would make it possible to release on more platforms 👀 more on this in the future if i can make it happen...!)
• a monthly postcard for patreon as usual (: 

also as a note for marron... i'm no longer planning on releasing android. google play has been such a huge headache lately and it's not worth it. i'm worried i'll run into issues trying to get it to release, or worse, be able to release but not be able to update, which is something i've been running into lately... i want to make sure my games have all the bug fixes / updates available equally on all platforms, & right now google play is making that impossible for me so i don't want to release new games there until they fix their update process.)

A HERO AND A GARDEN is also (as shown in banner) currently 20% off on steam for the capitalism and economy fest which i didn't even know was a thing, so pick it up if you haven't! → https://store.steampowered.com/app/1914740/A_HERO_AND_A_GARDEN/

douZINE#2 bundle is also closing in less than 24 hours so check it out on itch while you can → https://itch.io/b/1905/zine-douzine-2

prior to this post i also updated all my game steam pages to say that they support xbox as well as playstation controllers because i confirmed that renpy games work with bluetooth/usb ps controllers!!! so now if you play on steam on a ps controller it will no longer give you a warning telling you it's not supported. (i don't know how many people play on steam with ps controllers vs xb controllers vs just keyboard but now i'm curious!)

anyway, wishing us all a good beginning of the year! ✨
