- Also wouldn't "Werehouse 69" be the perfect name for an adult furry Visual Novel game? Someone get on that please 😬
- Bob is slightly regretting having 12 separate routes in #DaddyDatingGame because it's creating slightly ridiculous branching every time I even start a new game day But, uh... finally finished day 13, and we're now at 118,778 words (9107 dialogue blocks) so... progress? #IndieGameDev #VisualNovel
- Finally some more #DaddyDatingGame progress to show off! Now at 109,228 words (8387 dialogue blocks), and we have a logo and a (tentative) menu UI! #IndieGameDev #VisualNovel
- A small #IndieGameDev update: #DaddyDatingGame progress continues. I've been adding three (!) additional routes to the game and generally fleshing out those scenes and tying them into the current game flow... this'll make 10 total game routes The game is now at 98,290 words (7534 dialogue blocks)
- @sylphrin.bsky.social has opened up commissions for janky Bob-drawn VTuber models! You too can look weirdly flat and low-res in 1080p vgen.co/sylphrin/ser...
- Hi everyone I've put together a guide for generating patches for NSFW/Adult content in Ren'Py games Given current events, I'm hoping this is useful to someone Feedback/comments/thoughts greatly appreciated! docs.google.com/document/d/1... #IndieGameDev #VNDev #GameDev #RenPy
- It's a day of Bob Streams! @sylphrin.bsky.social will be streaming #ZRWP today at 5:30 PM Eastern (2:30 Pacific) www.twitch.tv/sylphrin And PatchrickPlayer1 will be streaming #DaddyDatingGame today around 9:30 PM Eastern (6:30 Pacific) www.twitch.tv/patchrickpla... Come join us!
- Friendly reminder that PatchrickPlayer1 will be streaming the current progress of #DaddyDatingGame tonight at 9:30 US Eastern (6:30 US Pacific)! I'll be hanging out on Twitch: www.twitch.tv/patchrickpla... But YouTube is also available: youtube.com/live/yZj0l2q... Hope to see you! #IndieGameDev
- #DaddyDatingGame progress continues! Gabe's sprite is done, and game's at 53,975 words (4238 dialogue blocks) But some news: PatchrickPlayer1 will be streaming the game (at least its progress) this upcoming Friday (June 20), for Pride Month! I'll post exact time once it's known #IndieGameDev
- Today's #DaddyDatingGame progress was staging the completed sprites (Ryan, Jason, Santiago, Ethan) and backgrounds into the game... Gabe will hopefully follow soon (Also got some writing done!) It's a little sad we'll no longer have scenes that look like this though 😅 #IndieGameDev #VisualNovel
- The amazing PatchrickPlayer1 will be streaming #YAGS in a little over an hour Come check him out! (Not like that... okay, maybe also like that) www.youtube.com/watch?v=706B... www.twitch.tv/patchrickpla...
- Oh my god After over a year, day 7 of #DaddyDatingGame is finally done being written And it is 2012 lines long (four times the length of the previous game Saturday) Jesus what I have I done to myself? Game is now 50,595 words and 3,991 dialogue blocks 😶 #IndieGameDev #VisualNovel
- I've been making some slow progress on #DaddyDatingGame, mostly just filling in random new scenes as they come to mind without really trying to put them in the right place(s) yet Now at 42,214 words (and on in-game day 7 😬 )
- Also it's already May and I have made zero progress on my gamedev goals so far this year so... that's great 😅
- It occurs to me I haven't posted a #DaddyDatingGame update in a long time The day job has been too busy to make serious progress, but I've been knocking out scenes (and scene-bits), and sprite progress has continued The game is currently 38,348 words, and here's a WIP headshot of Gabe #GameDev
- No April Fool's joke from me, but I may have had a hand in this... www.twitch.tv/sylphrin (Come join us!)
- There's nothing like the feelings you get when someone emails you about your games, talking about how much they loved your writing and character choices, and how upset the "bad" endings made them feel People like that are what make #IndieGameDev (or I suppose #VisualNovelDev) worth it
- I've been quietly working on this game because I didn't know if I'd finish in time, but... Mother: The Distance is now available to play (as part of the Love+Attraction Jam)! Help a couple navigate difficult times and the growing distance between them bobcgames.itch.io/the-distance #IndieGameDev
- Happy New Year, everyone! I'm hoping 2025 brings a lot more free time (and energy) for me to work on more games in, because I have so many ideas What are your hopes and wishes, or projects, for 2025?
- Been quiet on here recently, but just wanted to thank everyone who's checked out, played, and contacted me about Mother: The Revelation! It gives me motivation (but unfortunately not the time) to keep working on other games in the series Gogo gadget middle-aged gay representation! #MTRGame
- Anyone else remember Sonic Shuffle? It was one of my favorite Dreamcast games, and the second game I picked up (after Space Channel 5) when I bought a new Dreamcast last month So excited to play it again! (Streaming it this week... just saying 😉 )
- Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving (and/or Saturday, for non-US folx) I started a Discord server for Twitch stream schedules and such... I'll also mirror gamedev updates onto there if that's a more convenient place for you to monitor Feel free to join here: discord.gg/p4SMBzRUhT
