Welp, we made it through xmas, team! I have already, embarrassingly, eaten all the candy I was gifted.

Unfortunately I really don't have much to show this week 😬 I didn't get any writing done at all. I did try, def sat at my desk for work hours for a couple days, but I just didn't get anywhere. I did some brainstorming instead to figure out what I'm gonna do for the next bit of the script [ I think some stuff needs to be chopped out from night 2 for being carbon copies of content in night 1- thats boring and redundant ] I know cutting content isn't what people generally like to hear, but I think sometimes less is more. I want an 'all killer no filler' situation if possible.

Instead of writing, I tried to do a bit of music stuff again, but I don't think I accomplished anything good there either 😂🙈 Much like the script, it's unfinished and missing crucial layers. But it might be a good start for something. If I can get an actual melody in there LMAO

[ I've attached the mp3 below as 'lawrence_experiment_2' ] It's not a full song by any means, just trying to get some groundwork down. I like the drone and bass so far but thats about it LMAO

I also did a little bit of drawing, not a scene from the script but just some Lawrence

Aside from that, all I have is some cat pics and videos 😅

I walked to the store yesterday to buy her some food and I also grabbed some late xmas presents for her. I got a few new toys based on ones I know she likes already, and a little hard clamshell bed thing to replace a cardboard box I wanted to throw out. She seems to like them!

I also got some little videos of her watching the snow fall on xmas eve and her yelling at me to give her dinner faster LMAO

----------------------

Sorry for the sparse update and not getting much done ^^; I know I said I'd be taking a few days off but it ended up being more because I was so worn out. I might work some more days than planned next week to make up for it, I'll see how I feel.

But either way, take it easy and stay safe folks! Enjoy the liminal space!

THE WAY AM SCREAMING GATO YOU HAVE NO IDEA ( I WISH YOU A VERY GOOD NEW YEAR AND AM PROUD OF YOU GIVE WILLOW A SMOOCHIE FOR ME PLS )

Silent Fox

Well happy late holidays, Gato! And the kitties too, of course. It snowed hard where I'm from unfortunately (I dont do well in the cold, I'm like a reptile). Either way, the music is coming along well! Have you ever played Hollow Knight? The OST for Deepnest gives me some Lawrence vibes. That and Nosk. Hope you have a great rest of your week! ^_^

sShadowHuntress

Glad you enjoyed the holiday and didn't push yourself to work *too* much. Everyone deserves rest and recoup time at the holidays 🥰

Fries

Never feel bad about taking a break around the holidays! Enjoy yourself girl! I'm a game dev too, and I refuse to work right now LOL

Szoller

I’ve been so obsessed with your Lawerence music as of late!! Sounds phenomenal! I’m so envious that you got snow 🥲 my Christmas was 70 degrees F and I hated it. I hope you’ve been doing well and enjoying the holidays!

Pastel

Take care, Gato 🫶

NikoNikoi

OMG LAWRENCE ART (im eating him whole), happy new year btw! Stay safe Gato (also i wonder, what does Lawrence tattoos mean? Do they have a meaning? Or is just his aesthetic)

Vellzebubs

I like the song a lot! It reminds me of the theme from the show Utopia with the faint moaning/talking noises.

Moon

Merry Christmas! And a Hopefully Good start into the New Year! I love the artwork and Willow is cute as always! Have a great new week gato, we love you <3

angel

Take breaks, its okay we all understand!! :-) the lawrence music/art is mwa beautiful. Did you get anything cool and fun for xmas??

Angel

I’m loving the music you’ve made so far! It really reminds me of the soundtrack from the game Buckshot Roulette, which I think is going to sound really cool with Lawrence’s story. Merry Christmas and thanks for the update!

Chance Hansen

Merry Christmas lol and nahh you should give yourself some holiday hours lol

Efi

"Lazy" days are important. Sometimes you need a break, brainstorming at the time is a great idea. No need to push it, especially durning holidays.

Azazel

i wonder what causes his scar🧐 Anyway the experiment sound giving of an analog horror vibe to me, which would i think gonna put me on a pressure while playing the game. I love that ! And this fluffy lady look so sassy in the pic, very demure, very cute😭❤️❤️

Azazel

And happy late chistmas hope u have a nice holiday !

Hannibal

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR KITTY ♡

ResidentReptile

oooh that song has a really dangerous vibe to it, it's really making my heartbeat speed up (NOT because it's making me horny). also, don't worry about not getting much done this week, most of us probably didn't, lol and that drawing of Lawrence is fucking stunning. I'm definitely showing it to my tattoo artist as a reference for what I want (matching tattoos with the hubby :3

words

time to make that lawrence pic my new wallpaper :D also MERRY CHRYSLER AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! thank u for the kitty vids :)

Gruesomemutt

Are there any updates on when the store might be reopening? ive heard theyre probably coming off strike after Christmas from a CAD friend

Pineapplecasket

Don't feel bad for not getting stuff done, especially around the stressful holidays! Completely agree less is more but at the same time in rattling the bars of my enclosure AGHHH look at that soggy white boy's hands they're so bony and delicious 😈🩷 I love the music! His beats give such an unsettling/heart racing vibe and I'm here for it. I hope you had a great holiday and have an even better new years eve and day! WILLOW IS SUCH A LIL NUGGET AH 🩷🩷

Yuki the Demon

It's Christmas, everyone supposed to be taking a break on Christmas!! 🌟AND WISH YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Yay!!🌟 - Aww I love Willow, she's is such a cute baby 🥺 - Sorry if I use my words wrong or bad grammar, I'm pretty bad at words.

Lolhopetch

We all understand! You were supposed to take this week for break anyways >:33!! That drawing is breathtaking in a way 🥺 willow is looking a bit fluffier! Winter coats on cats are always so cute buut the shedding that comes by spring is not it 😩😩 totally worth it tho! Dont be so hard on yourself regarding the script! There's still plenty of time and taking things slow instead of pushing them helps come up with better production! Quality over quantity😋 As always good job this week, good luck and happy new years!!

dankFangirl

While watching the video where you feed Willow, I noticed there are a lot of whiskers on top of a piece of furniture. Are you collecting them? I do that too hehe

Asi Sansell + Moonlit Spires

Its ok to take your time and have vacations. The music is coming along great! Love both experiments so far.

kapibara chan

Merry Christmas to you gato and Willow!

6RobotMonster6

Merry Christmas! And the holidays always take the wind outta me too so please take your time recovering 💗 That drawing of Lawrence is gorgeous 😍 the atmosphere is so stunning! It needs to be framed fr. Always a delight to see Willow being so cute too! I hope next week treats you well 💗🫂

EternallyInsatiable

Merry Christmas, amazing to watch as this all comes together. always a blessing to see some more art as well.

Gatobob

omg thank youuu aaaaa 🥹

Gatobob

There will be some clues in the game this time to give players an idea of why he got them, so I won't give spoilers ;)

Taheca

If the holidays at the end of the year aren't the time to relax, I don't know what is. Glad you had time to recharge!

Gatobob

those sounds are actually 'mallet groans' from sliding a mallet on a string instrument! I got the sound in that new horror sound pack I bought and then I cut off all the high frequency off it, which makes it sound muffled like its in another room :D

Gatobob

I actually don't exchange presents much any more [ my immediate family and close friends have all agreed we have enough stuff so we just get together and eat and share snacks ] but I do still do stocking stuffers with my parents and I think my favourite thing in mine was a jar of raspberry mimosa jam 🤤

Vellzebubs

I don’t know much about how to make music so this is really cool to learn, thank you! <3

Gatobob

Oh thank you! I love the buckshot roulette soundtrack! I can see what you mean too- it's the heavy oppressive grunge bass!

Gatobob

They do seem to be slowly hammering out an agreement thank goodness. My plan for now is 'sometime in January', nothing very solid yet! [ honestly it would be nice if the weather could get better first because right now it's snow up to my knees and drifts almost up to my neck and I have to walk several blocks to the post box every day when my store is open LMAO ]

🍇 shuten douji 🍶

LAWRENCE IS SO PRETTY! and wow the song sounds so good so far, it reminds me of a heartbeat desperate to burst out of a ribcage 🫀

Gatobob

woops I didnt mean to capture those LMAO but yeahhh I've been collecting them 😂 I need to find a little jar for them

dankFangirl

Every cat owner does that, dw!! xD

kajerone

That art is GORGEOUS, excellent rendering on the water!! Also don’t worry about cutting content, i think that’s a fairly natural part of writing anything. I love willow’s scratchy meow too, and I’m jealous of your snow 😭😭 the base in the music is a good eerie vibe, very ominous. I hope you had a good holiday!

pebbles

The art is so pretty 😍 Ty for feeding us

Mae Mae

The art and music is simply beautiful i love how personalized each of your characters are so much it’s truly stunning I’ve been listening to a lot of KMFDM (specifically I (Heart) you and Bait & Switch) and i think it has some really good sound work that fits a similar tone and style of your characters! Keep up the amazing work even if it’s just one drawing 🫶🫶🫶

Gruesomemutt

Totally fair!! fingers crossed whatever happens is ideal for everyone 🥹❤️ its been such a long time now

Peoni

Beautiful art as always, love the music. It feels very suffocating and oppressive in a slow fashion. Has anyone ever said Willow has a slight 10 to 2 stance? It’s cute! Hope everyone has a pleasant holiday and the new year is blessed. Apologies if this steps on toes, and I speak as a fan only, but “lazy” times are crucial towards one’s wellbeing. Though some do function better with something to do, hence why I don’t wish to toe tap. Just a heads up that people here are understanding and stuff ;; Please take care everyone🪻

Laacri 🪷

My eyes have been blessed by seeing this gorgeous man, he is my fav character of yours🩵 ugh I love these updates so much, I genuinely love your games Gato, and your transparency and honesty with your work progress, boundaries, etc. I am so glad I found your Patreon last year on my previous account ^_^

Dipply

Ah, finally, a new phone lock screen background. Actually, fun fact: my lover got me a new wireless drawing tablet for Christmas, and I’ve made the home screen background Lawrence’s apartment. Sadly I couldn’t find the whole image without the quality being really crunchy but- it still works!

m3lody_XoXo

Do I have permission to use the Law art as my phone wallpaper? It's so peak 🧎‍♀️

Gatobob

Yes of course you can 😄

Junglcook

don't feel pressured to try and make up for lost time this week! take a good long break, Gato, you've earned it for sure!!

Lil Rafflesia

Is Lawrence's hair more on the wavy side now?

Gatobob

Not really 😅 for this one it’s just the water and that last one I just didnt draw very well

Gory.goodboy

I hope you had a Lovely Christmas gato I can’t wait to see more from you as this year passes 🩷🩷

↜𝚁𝚒𝚜𝚊↝

Oh how much I missed your random random art that you’d sometimes bless us with, I miss it sm even till this day..I hope we get more of them especially some fox ones♥︎ hope you had an AMAZINGGGGG Christmas and upcoming New Years Gato!!!🫶 (imagine some new years art w ren, Strade, Lawrence and etc omg I’d make a poster outta them your art is so SCRUMPTIOUS)

vuk

lowkey may need to print this new law art and put it on my wall

blake

love all your random little updates gato. thanks for all your hard word and dedication. love seeing ur art n your kitties n how much you love your own projects. see you in the new year !!!!

Aura 🖤

Ouh, gato don’t feel bad for having breaks, everyone here are humans so, it’s not like we’re gonna demand you things of the game, even if it’s a simple post we’re gonna appreciate your time, take a lots of break this week. The draw of Lawrence IS SO FREAKING AWESOME, I’m in love with the colors, the feelings that transmit, everything is on point (I’m honestly obsessed with the way that you draw and color, is so yummy and delightful, ughhh.) About the song, I like the colors on this and the tension, it’s like the feeling of getting drowned and had the rush of anxiety, I like what I’m feeling. Gato, I have this question since I been following you, why don’t you try to upload your music to at any platform (aside Steam)? You’re pretty talented and I’ve obsessed with the “YKMET: Strade” soundtrack. ☝🏻 WILLOW LOOKS EXTRA CUTEEEE (lol, I noticed the collection of whiskers,) I hope that you and Willow had a great Xmas, what do you ate that day? ⭐️ We're already at the last rodeo, almost 2026, I’m glad to having met you gato, you make my life better, more happy and exiting, I really admire you and your work, and I luv you, I hope that you and Willow are having a wonderful week, please, rest more, eat a lot of yummy food, have health and enjoy this last days of the year! See you in the next year! :]💗

Narwhal Panini

Omg you said sparse but I’m vibing to this music and art!!! And Willowwww the babyyyy Out of curiosity, what website or program do you use for music making :0 ? I’d love to mess around with spooky tunes (even if yours is just a base I really really like it) Also how long did ur law drawing take? Tis very noice Glad to hear you took more then a few days off rest is a very good thing especially around the holidays :D hope you got everything you wanted for Christmas and many amazing wishesss :3

Narwhal Panini

Fun fact my bf made me a Lawerence doll for Christmas and it is the most beautiful oddest looking thing ever it legit looks like a voodoo doll and I love him to death XD

Clownthulhu

Don’t force yourself to draw or to keep coding. It’s okay to take a break. It’s better to take a break than to keep going and get frustrated with how things are turning out. Your mental health is much more important!!! ^^

Clownthulhu

I also had a question about how the boys would react if they got a handmade gift for Christmas.

ebear

“All killer no filler” is gold !! Hope you had lovely Christmas Gato

Gatobob

Thank you for the kind words!! For your music uploading question: I looked into posting music with spotify and such, but it turns out that you can't just do that without paying a publishing company and giving away publishing rights 😬 So I just give my music files away for free.

Gatobob

I make music in Ableton Live 12 Suite which is honestly a very expensive program but it ended up costing less than I was paying to license other people's music before so it made sense to me 😅 For the Lawrence drawing, it was one of my faster ones, I think maybe a total of 2-3 hours?

kitxhan047

This has nothing to do with the post, but I have a question!🙏 In BTD 2, how did Ren hide his tail? His ears with a hat, but...?

kitxhan047

I absolutely love the new Lawrence art you're releasing! 🐇🩷

2026-09-05 23:00 This has nothing to do with the post but I’m working on my own VN, and I find myself learning so much from you, and it astounds me how you’ve mastered Renpy so well. Could I ask how you did the transition animation screen in YKMET strade, with the rainy street and looking up? Thank you so much, and late merry Christmas!

Have a wonderful new years!!

MerryHoliday

Don't ever feel bad for taking breaks hon, your only human. We all need a rest and recharge day every one in a while

Gatobob

in the upcoming game I plan to do something either with baggy pants or a low hanging backpack, not sure yet!

Gatobob

That one was pretty simple! It's a longer vertical image for the background, and I used transformation language to move the image downward. [ https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/transforms.html ] <- it's a lot of reading but this is how I move everything on screen

Tferret

EEEKK IM A FEW DAYS LATE BUT IM SO HAPPYYY EVEN WITH THIS SMALL UPDATE!!! my fav part about YKMET Strade making was the soundtracks and how you made them!! I still remember listening and commenting on each of the samples, so you just KNOW i was geeking when i was listening to this one!! Hope you and your adorable kitty had a great time on the holidays!!! STAY SAFE AS ALWAYS GATO (๑>◡<๑)💗💗💗

Nasa T

I mean ever since you started doing music on your own, it captures the whole vibe of everything sm better! I guess it makes sense since the composing comes directly from the same mastermind that creates these morbid worlds and characters in the first place! It just makes so much more sense 😊 Also i love how raspy willows voice is 🥹🩷

ErebusRetrograde

It's so very rare for work to get done over the holidays, even with the best intentions. It's fine honestly! Take your break, come back to things fresh and full of holiday turkey/ham/whatever.

P4N1DA

I love the soundtracks u make sm !! it matches the games a lot better and I like to listen to them when working on my own projects. You're a rlly talented artist :,3

Stawrlite

Omg that art is so fantastic !! The details of the water are so well done

Cynthia Sofia

I felt the chills on the music and just perfect ✨️👌

Sky Kitsune

I love how cats always look confused but serve face anyway

your art is such a huge inspiration
