Real Life Strikes Again.

Well, I just finished finals a week and half? ago - and wrongly assumed I'd have plenty of time to work on Grizzly Tech's Chapter 9 update. The floor in my mobile home (it was made in 1970s), is growing weaker, so construction had to be done on it, by adding another layer of plywood on top of it, since what's below is basically pressboa...

Hey, I have been debating whether to open my Discord server or not - but I decided today, that I'd open it to the public.

Update on Bara Jam!

Since I tried to post so last minute, and failed, the mod of the Jam decided to allow my entry as a late submission. Yay!! So I did make it. But he informed me that I should have uploaded the game page (at the very least) to the Bara Jam entries then uploaded the game later - although he did mean "upload the game as soon as possible for it to co...

Bara Jam Fail and Refund Update.

Unfortunately - I wasn't able to figure out how to refund you from an external source. BUT I did suspend December's billing cycle so you will still technically get your two months of paused billing like I promised two months ago. 

I apologize for the screw-up. 

And as for Bara Jam - I was juggling school, and work, and tryi...

Sorry! (About billing)

Damn it. I forgot to pause billing for November. If any of your pledges get processed, I will refund them for this month. I apologize. If it's not too late, cancel your pledge at least temporarily, otherwise, I will refund it. 

On other news, still swamped with work, and school, and some of my Bara Jam game. Not much progress has been...

Chapter 8 is done!

I will be wrapping it up (getting it ready to release for Early Access Patrons tomorrow sometime (The 2nd)) but chapter 8 is finally done. Woohoo! 

I'm so happy about this. 

Hold on, and wait for a week - for those who haven't pledged the Early Access tier - then it should be released on itch.io (roughly the 9th-10th) ...

Chapter 8 - Nearing the final stretch

Well, at long f'ng last. LOL. It's taken me way too long to write most of this chapter for Grizzly Tech, but I'm working on the last route - and roughly 1/2-3/4's done with it. I am aiming to try to complete it tomorrow at the latest. Thank you for being so patient with me. 

Then patrons will be able to play it early for a week, and t...

A new look for sprites! Some script written so far.

Hello - my 3D dev friend @IncubusAcademy (Or Deevilj) had a problem with his computer resulting it crashing - and he lost some models. He was able to save *most* of the models and decided he wanted to recreate them just in case - and I've wanted to fix the odd head-pose that he'd originally made - because you do not talk to another character on ...

Time Interloper Updated 1.1!

Well, I managed to release a minor update for the Time Interloper game and this time, I'm letting everyone access it immediately - because I didn't realize that its progress was enough to warrant a new update. I didn't feel it was fair to limit it to the $3 tier at the moment. When I have a much bigger update, I probably will.

Mai...

In this time of uncertainty

I've decided to suspend billing again. With so many people being forced to stay home, or not being able to work, and only applying for Unemployment (or receiving benefits from their workplace for a short period of time), I am also experiencing a bit of a flux in my routine in the last few weeks. My workplace cut my hours for the last two weeks, ...

Billing Suspended for March + Some Progress

Alright. I have had a busy month - and essentially have been remiss in being able to work on both of my projects and updates.

Let's break it down: 

Grizzly Tech Updates: 

I barely managed to write 30 lines of code for dialogue which makes me annoyed because you guys deserve a chapter update. I thought a month would be...

Grizzly Tech v1.15 is ALIVE!

I'm so happy I managed to finish Chapter 7! And I did a quick run-through of the route variations with Chris' route, and I think I've squashed most of the bugs/tense errors. If there are any problems, send me a screenshot of the error or typo, etc etc. 

Added:

Two BGs - storefronts/buildings (Grayscale, linework) (Early on in th...

Patreon Billing Suspended

.... At least for December. I feel like it's the right thing to do for now - since I'm having issues getting my updates out, and I just recently finished Bara Jam 2019 with my new game *Time Interloper* It's in a very rough beta with mostly story up to a certain point, and a couple sprites/BG. 

I feel like it would be best to resume o...

Thank you. :)

I wanted to thank all the patrons who've followed me and even some of you who've actually made a pledge when you didn't have to do so. I really do appreciate it, even if I'm on the quiet side. 

I may be terrible at updates, but I am grateful for your faith in me being able to deliver. 

May Bragi grant us the eloquence of wi...

So Busy lately! Grizzly Tech and Bara Jam 2019

First of all I apologize for not updating in a while - life keeps me really busy, and well, I haven't been entirely inactive. I've been working on a BG for Grizzly Tech and some script. This bg has taken me forever to do - because I have to fix a lot of errors with it. I hope people like it - and it should be included in the next update.  2019-11-10 22:17:48 +0000 UTC View Post

Android Build of Grizzly Tech Available!

Well, I finally did it - I managed to crack the murky depths of Android Building and built the demo into an android package. It's available at http://gryphbear.itch.io/grizzly-tech :)

I wanted to try to get to a broader audience, particularly those who prefer mob...

Title Change and Housekeeping!

Okay. You may be wondering why I've decided to change the title of the game. Well, simply put.... As it stands, my title shares its name with a science website for middle-school grade children. I'm nervous enough for parents to google the name of my game, and get MY game instead of middle-grade students, or even worse, a middle-grade school...

Progress Update so far!

Well. Still hard at work trying to encode side images and work on the latest Chapter. I have finally figured out how to use Ren'py's LayeredImage function to layer different outfits over a base side sprite. Thanks so much to Deevil and 2019-06-30 19:00:40 +0000 UTC View Post

First Post!

First. Welcome to my Patreon page! This is going to be a recap of my last devlog on itch.io, to get things rolling.

So. 

If you visited the link to my game, the date on the last update shows that it's been a while. I promise that I'm not dead, despite there not being updates in a few months. I am hoping everyone is enj...
