Hey all as I say in the title GMG has just a few more hours of polishing up and some final playtesting before its ready for you all. I really think you all will like it, just wanted to make a post because I haven’t given an update in a bit. I don’t want to spoil too much obviously but there have been a couple changes that might be different ...
2022-03-27 03:32:34 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone thanks very much for your patience regarding growing my grandpa, it's nearly done, just have lost a few development hours because of some life stuff that was happening and is now over + better (very grateful for that!)
As I've said I've mostly been debugging and making sure each segment transitions smoothly into the next. Not...
At this point the lines of code for the .gml (gamemaker’s scripting language) files is right about 21,000. It’s by far my biggest project that I have worked on both in terms of scope/assets and now I guess the actual programming that goes with game development. My previous projects were all well below 10,000. I timed myself doing a simulated...
2022-02-18 08:27:51 +0000 UTC View PostHey everybody, thought I would check in with regard to Growing My Grandpa! I've been going through and "filling in the cracks" so to speak, it's a game unlike any I've made before in that it's not super linear and doesn't have just one ending, so it has taken me a little bit to glue all these different systems together and add polish to each one...
2022-01-12 08:06:47 +0000 UTC View PostHi everybody, just wanted to take time to say merry christmas and happy holidays, I hope you all are doing well and keeping safe. I have been really working hard on Growing My Grandpa! but its definitely been fruitful labor. I’ll be right back to work after tomorrow, as I’m very very close to being done.

2021-12-18 05:37:42 +0000 UTC View PostHey everybody, Growing My Grandpa! is going well it’s just taken a little time to crank out the final few 3d assets, there’s sort of an animation-heavy portion to one of the game’s endings and it can take a bit to throw it all together. Here’s a sneakpeak:

Hey everybody sorry for my radio silence this latter half of the month, I've been busy with Growing My Grandpa! which is nearly done, just has been sort of a hassle ironing out some of the final details related to the chase sequence towards the end of the game plus working with 3d assets has been a learning experience, it definitely offers more ...

Just a short little sneak-peak video. I’m almost done, just wanted to touch base and let you know I’ve been working diligently to bring you only the greatest grandpa-based game play. I’ve been having a lot of fun with the sound design. I voice acted a lot of this myself. Secret gameplay tip: Grandpa cannot digest metal. Hope you all are do...

Hey everybody, just wanted to make a post to show off a little bit more of Growing My Grandpa! which is coming together pretty well, I’ve been happy with the sort of vibe I’ve been generating with a lot of the assets and sound effects.
So, there are two endings of the game, one of them sort of the regular ending which you get without a...
2021-11-08 22:22:17 +0000 UTC View PostHey everybody, so I probably am not going to be meeting my self-imposed deadline of “before halloween” as at least in my timezone I only have a few hours left and rapidly dwindling energy to program lol, but I’ve been making great strides with Growing My Grandpa! at least on the creative end and asset making end, I feel like in the past fe...

Hi everybody so I still have work to do on the game obviously but I thought you would enjoy seeing just a little of the opening cutscene, the frame narrative surrounding the story involves a school counselor writing up a report on an emotionally troubled student and part of the report includes his meetings with the student, so we have this littl...
2021-10-29 04:22:52 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone!

2021-10-13 01:39:46 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, just checking in to say "Ruins" is coming along, my new deadline is to have it done by tomorrow night, failing that, by the end of the weekend. I've already set up the draft of the itch.io page, that's always a sign in my mind whatever i'm doing will soon be done. I'm making a big push tonight and tomorrow as well.
When I’v...
2021-10-08 02:40:54 +0000 UTC View PostSo I wasn’t able to get Ruins Of The Human Temple finished by the end of the month :( I had the opportunity to receive a covid vaccine booster which put me out of commission for some time (I was exhausted!) and I fell behind a bit on getting the game together. However, I am still fairly far along, and so I expect to finally send out keys in th...

Hey everyone, so I’ve been in crunch mode getting Ruins Of The Human Temple in order to try and get it to you before the end of the month, still pretty certain its feasible just have to buckle down and focus on it. In my haste I have come up with a few new twists to the story which I think give the game more depth. I don’t want to spoil anyt...

Hi everyone, just wanted to make a post letting you all in on a little sneak peak of the next Yames’ Secret Games entry. I’ve had a couple of ideas for the next few YSGs but the one I am planning for before or around halloween release is based on a few older japanese adventure games, some ive played some I’ve watched playthroughs of.
Hi everyone and welcome new patrons! The release of The Well has brought in a few new people so I'll put up top that my policy is that if you have any questions about anything patreon related please feel free to message me here or on Discord and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
Now, my main priorities at this moment will be to wrap...
Hi! Over the weekend I did bugfixing/general sprucing up of The Well mostly just added some configuration options like an extra font that is more legible as well as an actual fullscreen mode (as opposed to just an upscaled video) tomorrow I will get back to work on Ruins Of The Human Temple and also do some planning for the next Yames Secret Gam...

2021-09-01 01:58:20 +0000 UTC View PostHi! I know a good number of you have already done this but i just wanted to post it again so i can maybe scoop up a few more people. I spent this most of this early evening writing a script that imports a spreadsheet document with everybody's patron tier + requested displayed names and then draws them over ornamented text boxes (there's a huge o...
2021-08-31 00:06:44 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, so I’m a couple hours worth of work until im done with The Well, the first in a series of micro-games that I plan on getting out monthly between the other stuff I’m working on. So far it has been a success in that I’ve been able to proto-type pretty quickly for basic mechanics and then pump out a lot of assets because I kept ...
2021-08-27 00:35:45 +0000 UTC View PostSo, because some of my bigger game projects aren't going to be ready until they are done (obviously!) I have recently been thinking of a way to try and deliver a consistent feed of games that are more self-contained and limited in scope than the other stuff I'm making. This is an idea that I had kicked around at the start of the Patreon but I di...

Hey everybody, just wanted to drop a quick sneak peak at a new feature I have been working on for Ruins Of The Human Temple, thought it looked kinda cool and was worth sharing, anyway, in the game you're looking around collecting samples and stuff but one of the tools you have is a drill you can use to bore into surfaces to get down deeper. So i...

2021-07-19 22:32:12 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, I'm almost done with the library/puzzle system for ruins of the human temple, I'm going to post a video of it in action later today once I've got some of the graphics more polished up. I'm definitely on track to have the game ready for you before the end of the month though, which is exciting. Just wanted to make a short post to gi...
