Good morning! It's time for updates!

Current Image Finalization: 714/745 - 96%

Another week has come and gone, and I'm still tickin. I struggled a bit as usual and had to take more breaks, but I managed to stay above quota- and for December I'm gonna call that a win.

I finished up the last couple of pics from that Strade set last week and then moved on to two other sets- a short set of a simple background and a larger set of Ren stuff :)

I didn't finish the Ren set [ 4 left ] so you'll be seeing him again next week, then basically all that's left is 6 background images [ some unique some variants ], a couple of blood splatter effects I need to draw [ currently they're just a slapped in photoshop brush, which is fine for minor effects but the major ones need to be replaced ], 3 CGs which only feature someone's hands, and 15 'unique' CGs that don't have expression variants.

The backgrounds and unique CGs may take longer than my usual pace due to being more complicated but I'll chew through them all the same.

Anyway, here's a couple of the pics!

Hm, my gif capture decided to give this one a festive flicker. Sorry about that! I assure you that nothing flickers in the actual game LMAO

And that's about all I've got for you guys this week!

There have been some changes in the Canada Post situation so I'll write another news update on my personal website [ dirtymurdergames dot com, which is not affiliated with Patreon in any way ] in a minute to get people caught up.

Hang in there folks, the sun will shine again. See you all next week!

SillyBoy

Is it possible that the game will be released earlier than August? I'm very happy that it's ren now! I'm just excited, great job gato!!🦋

Taheca

"KNOCK ON THE DOOR FOR HELP" OPTION COMBINED WITH THAT NERVOUS REN IMAGE?! Ooh, I'm extremely curious now!

nagi_nats

Gato, you are so hardworking!! Sending hugs and looking forward to more updates! (I really like Ren's chopped hair... it's messy and cute! Does he cut his hair on his own? Or is it Strade's work? Ahaha!)

pikameru

31 to go!! so close yet so far!!!

Sophie

This post is so motivating! Thank you Gato for always being an inspiration! Lots of love, Ren looks amazing too ^^

ShinanaEvangelian

So close it's almost done! Practically a Christmas gift to us fans! And Ren, long time no see!❤

Vyneah

There aren't enough words to describe how much I love Ren's new design!

ShinyRocks!!

Another Saturday update to cheer me up<3 Thank you for your hard work Gato! Take a break and rest, you deserve it! :3<3

Gatobob

I don't have a specific scenario in mind, but I definitely imagine it as Strade being involved. Maybe some knifeplay gone awry? Or maybe Ren being startled while trying to cut his own hair? My goal with the hairstyle is to just convey a sense that Ren is always tormented, and that even something as simple as personal grooming is disrupted.

Gatobob

Sorry, but I shouldn't make any promises or encourage any rumours for a shorter release date when I don't know how long the remaining steps will take- I don't wanna jerk people around 😂

Vyneah

Also, I just read the update on the Canada Post situation. I'm a little sad because I had planned to buy a few things right before it all started, but sometimes things happen :") I'll just wait ✨️

nagi_nats

WOW! thanks for your answer. Sounds like awesomest character design concept! I swear YKMET will be my fav game ooohhhhh..... (actually Strade's route in BTD brought me to murder sim at all)

darkraisdream

yessss more delicious art!!!! i hope the canada post situation works out soon

NaughtyMono

Yeah! As much as I'm gonna miss his glasses and his widdle baby face (admittedly THOSE were almost a decade ago lol), he looks awesomely beastly!!

fennly

Top ten gooby woobies: number one that pic of Ren

Sm1l3-d3m0n

Locking my abductor in his own basement prank (GONE WRONG) (GONE SEXUAL) (3AM)

Vyneah

I'm sorry but the "widdle baby face" just reminded me of when Sid (TINR) says that to Farz XD Don't mind me, I'm just obsessed with him 😔

Gory.goodboy

Such cool details rahhhh and rennnn the boyyyy! I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND GATO! AND THAT THE POSTAL STUFF SLOWLY GETS BETTER! 🩷

𓆩♡𓆪

REN LOOKS SO AMAZING AAAA I CANT WAIT TO PLAY

Sly

It's so cool to see how it's all coming together. I'll be interested to know if the basement door swings inwards or outwards. Like theotically if we're in the basement could we throw the door open and smash someone's face in and escape? Or does it open toward us and we could fall down the stairs if startled? I'm sad to hear that the union workers weren't able to change corporates minds. It's insane to me that a government official can order the workers back to work but won't order the company to give them better wages and conditions? If you'd like some good news our strikers here in Aus that I mentioned last week were successful in some of their negotiations and have returned to work. I'm glad they were able to affect change. Keep up the good work Gato 💜

*SHAKES WITH EXCITEMENT*

Gatobob

I'm really glad to hear that about Australia! I believe that every win from working people matters and will affect this balance struggle around the globe. Humans are problem solvers and we can work this out! 💪

Phoenix Astra's Art Patreon

Ooo I like the flicker affects! Your art style is so freaking cool. These look amazing!! Thanks for the update gato ^^

tanukii

I say this a lot but I love watching your progress especially over the past few years! Love to see it all Gato🩷

Cherry

Love to see the progress, looks great! :D

Anita

How many weeks until it's finally out?

DerpKing

I LOVE THEIR REDISGNS SO MUCHHH 💜💜

Gatobob

It’s still going to be quite a while, my current estimate is August 😅 the art is by far the longest part but I still need to do the sound design, beta testing, and bonus content [ along with several minor things and fixes ]

Celty

Always looking forward to Saturday updates <3

Nessa

Hope my question doesn’t come off as rude/pushy in any way but just curious I know from a previous post you mentioned an early beta testing tier do you have a rough time estimate for that now that the game is almost close to being finished?

Egokinn

the game looks so fun! I hope development continues to run smoothly. Best wishes!

Peachikeen

Hey Gato, my friends and I have recently become deeply enamored with your works! Wanna say we love everything you've been doing, and keep on making such fun and enthralling characters and games!! It's always the highlight of our days when you post and we get to gush about the new strade game! Thought I'd share some love because times have been kinda rough! ♡♡♡

Ellie

I have been busy job hunting recently, but Gato I'll always happily come here to see updates, I'm so excited for this game. I trust that this will be fire, especially bc I can tell even with flickery gifs and such, that this project is full of your love for the characters that had given you so many opportunities and even more skills to use whenever you can. I feel like these remakes will always be a good sign of how far you've come from that silly little joke game to now a full-fledged visual novel all about this character you've been able to work on, evolve, and create into the most perfect version in your brain.
