YAMES TRANSMISSION: All About Gardening in FTMITAR!

quick update about the video!

prelude to a Yames Transmission video about FTMITAR

Father Turned Me Into Trees And Rivers teaser video

Hi everyone. I decided to cut together a little teaser video for Father Turned Me Into Trees And Rivers. I wanted a way to give you some vibes and gameplay without a lot of narrative context and without getting too bogged down into how stuff works... the game has a lot of things I would like you to discover yourself! That’s always sort of a wa...

a quick Father Turned Me Into Trees And Rivers update

Hi everyone, hope you all are well.

Despite my best efforts I don’t think I will be able to have the game done by tomorrow (Halloween) I think I need to give it at least another week of work before it’s ready. I might have made my deadline had I gone through a mini burnout phase towards the middle of this month, but at this point there...

Another Quick FTMITAR Text Update

Hi all, Yames here, I'm checking in again with another text update. I would make a video post but I feel like the full experience of Father Turned Me Into Trees And Rivers is worth keeping hidden from sight until you are playing it. I think the weirdness you get into is worth the surprise, and to some degree, me explaining more of the mechanics ...

YAMES TRANSMISSION : Commentated PSI Gameplay

Hi all, sorry for the delay, took a bit to get together, I've had a very productive month on the game development front, but I've not had a ton of time for video content. I hope this look at PSI makes up for it.

Yours In Games And Gratefulness,

Yames

mini text post as a prelude the next video post/transmission

Hey all, this isn’t really an update on anything yet, just a note that I’m currently working on the Yames transmission/video update for Plastic Spouse Interrogation. It will be more in-depth than the other stuff I’ve shown, like I’ve actually pretty much got things together enough to show you a decent “vertical slice” of what gamepla...

Hi all, sorry I didn't post this info earlier, had car trouble over the weekend and it sort of threw me off for a bit.

A short video preview of a weird guy (PSI)

Hey all, I just wanted to give you an update on Plastic Spouse Interrogation.

Last time I said I would be uploading a video with some footage of the flow of gameplay, like a segment somewhere in the progression of the game, instead of just poking around in the debug area. I still am working on some things, mostly visual assets, which need ...

Another pretty long Plastic Spouse Interrogation video

Despite my best efforts to keep it short, this video runs past 7 minutes. As I mention in the video though I wanted to make another one because, at least from my point of view, the videos tend to get more engagement so that means people like it more?? Better a long video than a long post I suppose. In any case, I hope you all like it. I'll be ba...

A Brief Plastic Spouse Interrogation Check-In

Hi all. I hope you can excuse the relative lack of updates this month, as I always say I try to get them done weekly however a portion of my time this month was spent away from my usual work space (my friend of many many years got married). I have plans to show more stuff in video form and play a bit of the game and talk about it like my last up...

A Long Video Looking At/Talking About Plastic Spouse Interrogation And A Long Text Post About Design Philosophy

Hi! The above video is me in a somewhat structured ramble about some of the newer game features. I also go into a little about what I have planned and the flow of the game between the interrogation parts and the biological system parts. Below is a sort of long thing about what I hope to accomplish in the game in regards to creating a new system ...

Plastic Spouse Interrogation Update (some spoilers)

Well everyone I’m posting again to let you know what I’ve been up to. I know I said I would try not to post more about the game because I did not want to reveal anymore than I already have, but I think it’d be OK to show just a bit more because I did a lot of work in Blender that I think came out looking good. I will give a bit of context ...

Long post about some DOB design thoughts/decisions regarding info points

One Last Plastic Spouse Interrogation Teaser/getting a bit more in depth about the game and what you do in it before it's done

Hey all just wanted to give one more teaser before I send out Plastic Spouse Interrogation to you all. I am very close to being done with it! As I’ve noted in posts before most of the work I was doing had to do with reworking player interactions and making a diegetic GUI system that balanced discovery and also clarity.

Hi everyone. Hope you all are doing well. I am doing pretty good, I’ve had a very productive week. Most of my time has been spent with Plastic Spouse Interrogation, but before I talk about some of my work with that I want to talk a bit about Discover Our Bodies.

So after Plastic Spouse Interrogation is in all of your hands,  I’m t...

Call for more Questions for February Question And Answer Stream + State Of The Yames 2024 video coming soon + Plastic Spouse Interrogation behind the scenes

So to start off, the N*nt*ndo Direct style opening is of course just some cheeky fun on my part and I’m preparing in parallel a video that does not have this stuff, in case the original video gets taken down by copyright strikes and/or I am litigated against!

You may have seen me talking some in the discord about a “State Of...

As I did mention in the video tho, the game will be done soon, thanks ...

Plastic Spouse Interrogation update

Hey all, I wanted to give you an update on what I’ve been up to recently. So as you may recall, recent posts talk about Plastic Spouse Interrogation being very very close to being finished and that is basically still true, however, I think for the sake of the game I am going to take just a little more time to rework the player controls.
