Hey folks,
first of all, I am going to open commissions on Monday and also plan to make an update post on changes to this Patreon account.
Such changes include:
new tier names
minor changes to tier benefits
changes to project pace
announcement on other projects (remind...
2024-11-21 13:30:25 +0000 UTC View PostAs I am going over a lot of things and changing stuff up, I am also going to re-work tiers a little.
The benefits will stay mostly the same, but I want to change the wording around and also change tier art + names, to match better with what I want to put onto my website.
2024-11-07 10:59:30 +0000 UTC View PostAs of today (Nov 4th), I am officially Ms. Maxine!
I took the new self-ID law, here in Germany, and was the very first, in my town, who got her real name with it!
I am so happy right now :3
Still, it also makes for a lot of costs, which is why I made the earlier post, about opening commissions soon.
2024-11-04 10:43:26 +0000 UTC View PostThis month is potentially getting very expensive, so I am going to open up for new commissions as soon as two criteria are met:
my old queue is done
my new website is up and functional
So, you will see another post soon-ish that will tell you about commissions!
I have sent a note to everyone here, asking if they want to be mentioned in credits and how.
Just check your inbox and let me know what your answer is.
2024-11-02 10:16:57 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks,
as I am revamping my web page, I was thinking that it could be fun to have a list of patrons on it. (Which I can then also use for game credits)
So the question is: Shall I make such a page?
If this goes through, I am also sending a message to everyone, asking if and how they want to be shown there (as in, which name...
2024-11-01 11:07:10 +0000 UTC View PostFor those that haven't noticed it yet, I changed the banner and icon. Also the Mootech logo itself got an update.
The reason is, that the old logo and banner were made by a very close and dear friend years ago.
Back then, I was pursuing a very different path as a career and Mootech was born then, as a means to develop electronic gadg...
2024-11-01 10:10:14 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks,
I just want to give a small update on how things are going.
Progress on Crysalis is continuing steadily and I plan to give you a new playable demo next month (November).
Also I am re-working my web page, to give it a few more functionalities.
These will be:
a form to commission me with
I removed it, as I am working on a completely different version of the second part now.
I made the versions when I was already kinda tired, so they weren't good. (Still I wanted to put them up)
I still take the results of the poll (pretty much nearly everyone was for D) into account.
Hey folks, I made 4 versions of an advertisement to choose from.
This is also going to be only one part. There will be a second poll later today, to vote for the second part.
Here you go though!

Hey folks,
I was looking through some stuff and also saw my commission page (https://mootech.eu/commissions/ if you didn't know).
I feel like revamping it a bit would be a good idea, including price updates. But that is not what this is about.
I...
2024-10-01 12:49:41 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks,
a bit since I last updated here, sorry for that.
The reasons are manifold, though the base ones are that IRL got a busier than usual and also I realized I needed to do some decisions on the story.
The hero of the story will be Amara, an otter woman, who lives with her wife in a small coastal town.
The st...
2024-09-30 17:53:24 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks,
I thought I give some updates on things.
So what am I doing right now?
Well, thinking about Crysalis, and working on commissions.
I have 6 in my queue and work is going pretty slow on them. It might take me all of August to finish them, but we'll see.
Once they are out of the way, I can concentrate fully on ...
2024-08-09 09:19:10 +0000 UTC View PostAs I mentioned on discord already, I am going to take a very short break from the game now.
Game updates will continue in early August!
The reason for this, is that I want to work through and finish my commission queue, so that won't distract me anymore.
You can expect images from me here (of personal nature), ...
2024-07-17 11:21:04 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks,
as promised a proper WIP update.
What you get is:
a fishing mini game (10 distinct fish, 8 peculiar catches, 5 junk items and 2 different fishing rods* to pick from)
a menu, to see your items
time progression and day/night cycle
some object to interact ...
2024-07-17 11:17:51 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks,
the fishing mini game takes shape and I am also working on the item/quest systems.
So lots going on, to prepare the next WIP with some content.
That should be done either next week or the week after, depending on how much work I can get in (as this week, I had 2 days fallen off already and 2 more will fall off...
2024-07-10 10:37:20 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks, another weekly progress update!
I am working on different things, here and there, while I have a bit of a struggle with a solid questing and dialog system.
I still think I can make the cutoff at mid Huly (this month), to have a WIP update, that you can play around with!
Other than that, I think after the WIP, I will ...

Hey folks,
I made a mockup of a mini game, I am not sure if I actually add it or not.
Pretty much, if I add it, you can work as a sex worker and earn money by being an escort.
That's it.
You have to press highlighted buttons (the symbols are related to buttons) and the better you do, the more of a tip you get!

2024-07-02 15:55:26 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks,
I have good news and bad news. I guess the bad news first.
I won't be releasing any playable game updates this month. The reason is pretty simple: Too much to do, too little time.
Please continue reading though!
I am planning to give a playable update out towards mid July, where you can also gauge the final scope ...
2024-06-26 11:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks,
today I finished the first scene (out of 4+) for Crysalis.
This is part of a longer intro, where I plan to have some slides, to explain the world situation and history, then have the intro part, I just made, after that a dream, choosing name and a last part, to introduce the first hero of the gods.
All of them will ...
As promised on my discord server, here are some mockups for two game ideas I had and wanted to draw out.
The first is 'Bold Adventures, which is supposed to be a survival sandbox game. It's pretty much inspired by "Minecraft, but with kobolds and isometric"
(Top right, mostly)
The idea is, that you build a place for yourself an...
2024-05-15 09:07:22 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks,
the long awaited update is finally here!
This is the combat system as it will be present in the game later. It still does require a bit of polish and there are some known bugs.
Once you start the prototype, you will be shown the overall controls. (Gsamepad control is recommended)
The system will be axpanded...
hey folks,
nothing major here, just a bit of a head ups.
I am still working on the prototype. Work progresses well and I want to get at least one level out. Still I can't give a definitive date for it, but it gets closer.
On another topic, I recently changed my medication and that messes a bit with me. So feeling more down, unt...
2024-02-22 12:21:48 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks, I thought I give a general update on things again!
So the combat is doing very well now, as I found a system I love and like to play, finally.
I am progressing with that and to get a prototype out, so you can play it too.
The prototype will be very limited though, as it only encompasses combat.<...

Hey folks,
I thought I give a super quick update to what's happening, because I am really happy with this.
So, as you know, I am working on the combat system for months now and I think I finally found what I want to use!
So the idea is, that encounters will be shmup (shoot 'em up) mini games!
Story wise, you will encounte...

Heya,
I was talking about a new idea at the end of last year and in-between commissions, concepting Crysalis combat some more and Christmas bullshit, I worked on a few mockups and game ideas.
Basically, it will be a falling block game, think Tetris, Dr. Mario, Puyo Puyo and the sort, which makes it's scope very small, compared to Cry...
2024-01-10 20:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostHeya,
just a few updates on what is happening.
As I said earlier, am working on commissions, but also on Crysalis of course. The reason why there are no further updates yet, is mostly because I am designing the combat system and there ere a lot of changes to it, to something I really like.
Now I have something I feel I am...
2024-01-09 13:05:47 +0000 UTC View PostFirst of all, I hope you all had some good past few days!
Now, there was a poll for a game idea I hold and what is the result of it?
Well, pretty much everyone wants to have Crysalis and that's understandable.
So, I will focus on it, but I will also work on other things in parallel. Overall, it'll slow down Crysalis, but hear me o...
2023-12-26 23:01:10 +0000 UTC View PostSo, as I said earlier, I have some game ideas, I either abandoned or put on hold.
One of those popped up recently, again.
The base idea is that it is a competitive TF game, where you fight with falling blocks!
Content would be transfor...
2023-12-15 12:44:55 +0000 UTC View PostAlright, here is the deal.
I'm not in a financial good situation (low on funds) and thus decided to take on commissions.
So here is the deal:
