Good morning folks! It's time for updates!

I did struggle a bit this week, but I got about as much done. It's cold as hell out here and the darkness has been rough. Yesterday it felt like I got 6 hours of the darkest cloudiest daytime possible LMAO I got my SAD lamp working overtime 😂

I got a fair amount of writing done but I worry that it's bad and it sucks and is actually cringe. Is it the eternal cold and darkness talking? Maybe! There's no way to tell for now.

I do think that I managed to settle into more concrete directions for some parts I wrote [ the plans were kinda loose, but I figured out precise themes as I wrote ] So I am happy with that.

All I can say for certain right now is that the script will need major editing attention and a couple passes. It is what it is and though and I'll just do the work when I get there.

The scope of the project has been daunting me for the whole script process but I have realized on the bright side that one of the reasons for that is that I do actually have a pretty strong idea of what I WANT it to be. I think that'll be good in the long run. It's a lot of work but I can at least work with a solid direction for the most part.

I picked out another little snippet this week:

Not really Law dialogue this time, but an example of me getting a bit fruity with it, which is a perk of writing for Lawrence. I'm a purple prose truther and no one can stop me LMAO

Also got a couple rough sketches in:

[ It's a pretty good wind-down activity/practice on Fridays ]

But aside from that, I don't have much else to report! Kinda business as usual!

Oh, I do have one thing I guess- I should give you guys notice that I've decided to take a week off at the end of the month [ Dec 25-31 ] I think it would be good for me to take a break and I like to shut down during the liminal space between xmas and new years.

I might get up to some personal stuff or I might not, either way I'll still report in on Saturdays.

Oh and I have a bunch of Willow

She's my special little girl with first gen AI generated hands

I've also attached two vids [ I know I've got Hughes energy with this now but 🤷‍♀️ ]

I say whatever get me through the dark months!

I hope you guys find some joy and warmth too, be gentle on yourself and see you next week!

Echovox

That is 100% the eternal cold and darkness talking, lol 🫶

Gatobob

I dont need a life, it will be a maximum of 14.99 LMAO

ResidentReptile

my (in my opinion) cringiest writing is actually what I got the most praise for, so I don't think you have to stress about your own "cringe" too much 😅 you are your biggest critic!

Moon

Aw! Im shure its just some winter depresion :( you got this!...i wanna squeeze willow she is so cutee 🥹😩😩😩❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✨️ have a great new week gato!!<3

Azazel

You deserve that break hope u and Willow have a nice Xmas and NY ❤️❤️ (and im sure its easy to belive Law. he is sooooo😔😔😔😔 )

kajerone

Dude it looks like you got tons done on the script! Even if it needs editing, that’s a huge amount of work you did! Especially with SAD all up in your business. Give yourself credit where it is due!

Peoni

Her paws give me the giggles. Love the flowery language, feeds my curiosity bubble. I long for when we get to experience the horror. Though I’ve been very curious on the future prospects of meme mode. It’s just going to be bullying this man lol speaking of, is that drool? 😭 Ren bout to meet who he thinks is a submissive depressed discord kitten to find a grown ass man who can and will remove his spine like it’s Mortal Kombat Best and early wishes for the holiday period.

DAKIMAKIU

Gato my darling, sleep a little...

Pineapplecasket

Have a great break when you do it go on it and thank you for the Lawrence art as a lil weekend treat! Hurray for hitting a script stride though! Editing aside, I bet it's great! Something something, that's future you's problem haha 🩷

doaunderground

AWW!! Willow is adorbs! Have a good break!!

words

be cringe and free!!! i will love law as an emo edgelord and a depressed little meow meow <3 also maybe i should get a sad lamp too if you recommend it

FlaretheHare

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA the Law sketches! He's so beautiful!!! Also that snippet is sending my mind into overdrive, I'm so excited to find out more aaaaaaaaaaa!

lilsill

Some theorising here, the dialogue snippet to me feels like its us being drugged up while lawrence cuts into us or smth and he said some random lie to keep us calm (its such a headache for him if we panic too much) and we believe him cus drugs. And then the drawings feel like they might be of the part were he force feeds u drugged tea through a kiss :3c.

SlutCemetery

hello... someone i totally have never seen before.. fancy seeing u here..

Peoni

Ooo I like your user! Rafflesia is one of my fav plants 🥺🌸 Blessing you with more images of MK Law 🎉

kapibara chan

Have w great break! I hope Willow gets tons of Christmas presents and lots of cuddles to share!

Peoni

Oh shoot, you might be onto something- more reasons to fear ^.^🌸

rotten soulmate

I'm so excited, that's my favorite part of the game!

Amanita 🍄

HE'S SO.. HE'S SO HOTTTTT (⁠╯⁠°⁠□⁠°⁠)⁠╯⁠︵⁠ ⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

i feel you on the SAD lamp.. in my country it's rained everyday since last month, 'sun' rises at 8 and sets at 3:50pm 💔 terrible time of year but we'll all get through it!

Narwhal Panini

Is Lawerence gonna be a drug dealer in this game😂?/hj

Her little bow :0 Aww my gosh

Hii I hope this isn't too personal, but do you have adhd? (If you do; do you take anything for it?) I was wondering if being your own boss seems hard, or it would be for me. You seem to have great discipline and it's something I admire you for. I feel like I really see you go from point A to point B.

Spooka

AAAA!!! I love the sketches ^-^. Willow is so cute !! <3

Gatobob

I think mine helps! I can't really be too sure since it's a hard thing to measure, but even if it's a placebo effect... well I'll take what I can get LMAO

Mori Covington

I'm loving the Willow vids every week. If it wasn't obvious, I'm not sure if anyone could tell I like cats or anything. Also gatobob your writing is always cringe, that's what makes it good. Let go and be cringe and free. I'll eat it the fuck up, I promise, and so will the rest of us lmao

Gatobob

I'm gonna say no because he's not selling anything, he's giving them away. By force

Gatobob

I'm not officially diagnosed with anything- I've looked into it but it's so expensive [ $2K??? ] and I feel like I don't need an official diagnosis since I manage my lifestyle relatively comfortably these days. I strongly suspect that I'm on the autism spectrum [ I've heard a lot of diagnosed people describe their experiences and they sound like mine, esp childhood ] and I'm a little suspicious there's some adhd in there, but not sure. I do struggle sometimes with being my own boss, but I also struggled a lot at traditional jobs when I worked those. I used to get bored and frustrated at jobs, and I struggled to get along with people [ people find me offputting because I keep to myself and dont make eye contact haha ] now that I work for myself, my struggles are more like pushing myself too hard or getting upset because I can't reach some imaginary standard I made up LMAO

Gatobob

You make a good point, I have never not been doing cringe LMAO

Ami

OMG?! I wonder what the context is behind those Lawrence sketches...!😭🙏🏻🙏🏻

Morizo

So excited, always makes my day to see you post Saturday updates. As a newer fan of yours its amazing to be here at this moment, because I get to see your creative process of making another amazing game. When I first found ykmet strade I was absolutely amazed and swoon and ive had to read your comics and scour your art archive on your website, get tpof as well and grind from all the achievements from both games (i hope this doesnt seem weird😭) and I am so excited because i know i will fall in love with this game and with Law just like I did with the first game. Thank you for being you.

peanutsanss

Lmao he be drooollinggg. It’s okay if it’s cringe gato we love dat here. That’s probably why we all still love the old games hehe. Hope you have an amazing and well deserved break!! :33

“At night, I lie, wretchedly awake Simply to wonder at the forbidden Knowledge of its weight, Girth, and gargantuan size- Am I to die without seeing my prize? Tonight I pray the hours pass swift Or else I won’t see Law’s megaton dick.” - pineapple every Friday night probably, also first letter of each verse. (Glad to see the writing is coming along for you gato, keep pushing!)

Utabun

Honestly I feel like dark dreary weather really captures the essence of writing Lawrence's story

Pineapplecasket

Rux told me to respond in verse, And I'm not as smart as her, To make my stuff spell out a phrase, I guess it's also a curse. I swear I'm not this thirsty, But I know that's a lie (goddamnit) Why don't you ask Gato your last question from the server, "Would Lawrence start a global pandemic?"

Ruxpin.exe

I DO WANNA KNOW THAT THOUGH

words

placebo works great for me too 😁!

ResidentReptile

I'm also autistic and I'm peer confirming your diagnosis purely based on how you wrote Lawrence in BTD2

ResidentReptile

quickly licks up Lawrence's drool before he can wipe it away

Pineapplecasket

"Why necrophilia is only hot in theory: a pragmatic thesis on why Lawrence Oleander's roadkill bat findings led to a worldwide pandemic." I'm still using this title for my covid research doc. -puts on tinfoil hat-

WE ARE CRINGE BUT WE ARE FREE. Fr though some of my own best writing has been decidedly cringe so I can’t imagine it hurts anything. I also lowkey wanna smack the back of the head of whoever first put out into the world that flowery purple prose weren’t it. Flowery? Purple? You mean fantastically beautiful writing? There is literally nothing wrong with it ever and I will gladly die on that hill (unless in terms of it being so excessive that it takes away from whatever the writer is trying to portray but that’s a whole other convo) In this case I see nothing but pretty writing that brings a smile to my face even as I cry internally for Y/N, oh you poor thing, that’s whatever was in the tea darling >< We’ve got a drooling Law and Y/N def experiencing a taste of ONE OF THE MAN’S HOBBIES (having a giggle cause the first thing that came to mind is that one scene of Jabber emoting all over Zanka in Gachiakuta 🤭😂🤣) BLESS 🙌 And honestly I’d Hughes energy to if I had a littol dorter as cute as Miss Willow 🥹 Enjoy the Holidays Gato and take all the time you need, breaks are a good thing and it’s a time meant to be shared with your loved ones 🫶 and while the weather is dreary af rn there could be something to that, it’s kinda on brand for Law so if it doesn’t clear up here’s hoping it inspires!

Cas

Try drug ENFORCER vs dealer sjsjdjsksksks

IntrepidBlue

I finally mustered up the courage to comment; thank you for the updates! Saturday mornings are so special to me now😭🫶 I’m one of your newer fans and I LOVE being able to see your progress and sketches, it brings me so much joy to see the amount of passion that goes into the work and that you allow us to follow you through it! And please PLEASE be more cringe, let it be free, not a single one of us will leave crumbs behind😋😋😋 So excited for the changes in Law’s personality as well (willows big thumbs are so precious btw 😭❤️)

Gatobob

Goddd I looove Gachiakuta. And Jabber. I just love a fucked up little guy

Cas

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS 🙌🤣 he is unironically one of my fav sillies in the series 🤭

Gatobob

Their beautiful art style is what gave me the idea to draw Ashe with grey eyelashes!

Lolhopetch

being cringe is being free 🥹 christmas and new years week is definetly a time where you should take a break dont sweat it! Everything is turning out great so far i bet! Good work and good luck 😋😋!!

Cas

Oooooooh 🥹 please I LOVE that!!! Honestly no lies told, the art style was what drew me to picking up the anime and vol 1 of the manga after I had a random scene edit from it come up on my tiktok feed 🥰 I’ve been lowkey HOOKED since! The story itself is great but the art style just itches something in my visual stims that I didn’t know even existed till I saw it for the first time. Ashe is new to me since I didn’t play the first game but looking them up aaaaaa 👁️👁️🩶 pretty boy with the prettiest lashes in your whole line up CONFIRMED!?

Ami

ur so real for that twin

Aura 🖤

Gato, why do you bother about the thought of: “Am I being cringe?,” Like, people who admires you and loves your work is going to appreciate everything that you make (even if they’re just crumbs), I can tell that everyone here loves everything that you make and we love that you are yourself, you don’t need to press yourself for that, as we say “to be cringe it’s to be free”, so be free let us to taste and enjoy of your freedom. At the and of the day, make the things because you like them, it’s how supposed to be; You’re a talented person, and honestly I love everything that you made and making today, how your art has evolved over the time, your passion on everything, like: scripts, music, programming and your drawings. You inspire people (and you inspires me everyday) with everything that you are and make. When I read your letter on “YKMET: Strade” I honestly cry, you passed for a lot of things, and watching still making what you love it’s something precious, so, don’t be ashamed, you bring joy to everyone here. I’d love this new crumbs of Lawrence, the sketches and the sneak peeks. AND OMG, YOU ADVANCED SO FAST IN THE SCRIPT, YEEZ. And, oh god, Willow looks super doped with that catnip ball, lol. She stills look like a cutie patootie. 🤏🏻💗 And Gato, don’t worry about the Christmas — New Year’s break, you really need it and deserve it! So, I wishes you the best for you and your family. Please, eat well and a lot of food, take care of you and Willow, and really, sleep well and have a lovely weekend, luv you, gato. :]💗

EddieIsPatreoning

Feeling worried about your writing is so fucking real💔 sometimes even when you reread it you say "well it isn't that bad!" And then the thought haunts you again😭😭 take it easy tho! We'll like it even if Lawrence has a chronic disease that makes him say six seven every 3 minutes tbh Always love the willow updates, best thing AI has ever done❤ Take it easy on your days off and wish you good holidays :)

Taheca

> I got a fair amount of writing done but I worry that it's bad and it sucks and is actually cringe. Is it the eternal cold and darkness talking? Maybe! There's no way to tell for now. We liked your writing when you used "pleadingly" a bunch of times, so at the skill level you are now where you can recognize ways to improve what we already liked, I'm sure you'll be fine. (I hope that makes sense, I'm STONED All Up In My Business right now lmao) Taking a break makes sense! I hope you enjoy it and get the chance to recharge! > She's my special little girl with first gen AI generated hands Just wanted you to know I laughed out loud at that! > I've also attached two vids [ I know I've got Hughes energy with this now but 🤷‍♀️ ] Oh no, more catpics, how terrible 😂

Majinnya

hi gato! I adore anything you make and ill eat everything up you make! I hope your coming break treats you well along with those who are important in your life. RANDOM THOUGHT because I love all your Lawrence sketches and how you draw him teehee but I always notice in all of the drawings he has a little part of his hair (is it a downward cowlick idk?) and its so cute! BUT do you think when we get memelord do you think it would be funny to like to have a chance to rip it off? It looks so grabble and i think it would be funny :3! Anyway, you are so slay to the max and keep serving! I enjoy every update hehe

Silent Fox

To be cringe is to be free, Gato. Some of the greatest things we have were seen as cringey. Such as comic books, musicals, and indoor plumbing.

Sm1l3-d3m0n

Bet it hits like water from a glacier in Alaska 😩💦

Robbie B

Love to see all the amazing work!! Hype birthday present to see Law slobbering all over the place /j

LykWolf

You can do this gato! Happy holidays and remember to rest sometimes <3

Gracee_

Being cringe is to be free, though it sucks that now raw or any negative emotion be called cringe too. Please take a break, you deserve it, we could all wait a hundred years and still people will be happy to see your content

Willow has the cutest mitten paws

Ellie
