Good morning folks! Congrats on making it another week!

I had another sort of rough week, but not too bad. February is always rough even in 'normal' times. We just got hit with another cold snap and snowstorm here, -30C and drifts up to my thighs makes it a lot harder to do my postbox walks LMAO

But I still worked pretty solid and got a lot of editing/adding done.

I still feel like the script isn't quite good enough... It's getting better and it has a lot of the features I wanted, but it's just hard to get everything in there properly. It's hard to juggle all the variables and possible versions of things and remember all the mechanics to program in. Sometimes I'll edit a section and add in alternate versions for variables, and finish, and then realize there's no gameplay option in the whole section that change sanity/health balance 😩

I know I shouldn't complain because I absolutely 100% put myself in this position LMAO

But that's where my head's at I guess. It's why things are taking so long and the script seems to be taking more work than Strade's despite not being longer.

Here's what I got edited last week:

I'm tempted to say that the rest will take around 2 weeks, but I said 2 weeks last time and it's starting to make me sound kind of orange. So instead I will just say that I swear I'm trying my best. My best is a little pathetic sometimes because it's been hard to maintain my mental health, but I'm trying my best with that too.

I remain marching forward.

I managed to squeeze in one sketch but it's kindaaaa 😂 🤷‍♀️

Aside from that, I'm afraid I don't have a lot to report this week! Short update!

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

I can at least post a bunch of Willow though!

patiently waiting for me to put her towel back [ she barfed on it and it was in the wash ]

Contemplating bastardry

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

Thank you guys for being so patient with me ^^; I'll keep trying hard and going forward! Hope you guys are hanging in there too. See you next week!

tr4v3rs3-t0wn

I wonder what's got our boy so flustered in that pic? He looks adorable XD!! Speaking of adorable, WILLOW!!! Her meows bring me the biggest smiles everytime I hear them

Loretti

Willow has so much to say!! Such a crunchy meow, I love it!! 🥰 Give yourself some grace, this is a lot of work and you're doing great, even if it doesn't feel like it! You've got this!

Lolhopetch

The weather here in texas is so bipolar recently 😖😖 it was like 88 degrees thursday and yesterday morning was in the 40s... I so prefer the cold weather but goodness does it make my cramps worse 😫😫 Dont feel worried about your time frame when it comes to the script or anything really yk I've said this alot lol but you shouldn't feel bound to a time limit when there is none! Relax and take as much time as you need everyone can be patient and better things come to those who wait!! I love willow so much the cutest kitty ever 🥹🥹 I also have a towel in my cats drawer I need to wash, no throw up or anything but its so full of her hair lol 😅😅 Great job this week and good luck!! Say hi to willow for mee 😋😋🐛

Pineapplecasket

Sounding orange is killing me lmao (is this the greatest script? Perhaps the best script in the world? No one's written it like you? 🤣🍊 -Gestures hands-) LMAO but seriously, Lawrence is special to you and arguably more complex than Strade, it's natural it's taking longer! But all that extra love and care will be well worth it in the end :3 Lawrence is also giving 'surprise compliment at the grocery store and my brain cant process fast enough' pfff he's so silly 😖🩷 I'm glad you and Willow had a good week! Crossing fingers no more cat pukes!

ResidentReptile

Gato you can't post drawings like that when I'm ovulating. The curtains are ripped to shreds. The furniture is gnawed to splinters. There's a slimy trail on the floor tracing the pattern of a restless animal pacing in its cage. I think my neighbors called the cops

NottsFujisaki

Cuídate mucho, tómate tu tiempo y no te preocupes mucho, vas demasiado bien, Gatito!!!!! Por cierto GRACIAS POR LA COMIDA ÑAM ÑAM ÑAM LAWRENCE QUE RICOOOO ÑAMMMM YUMMMMMYYYYYYYY ME ENCANTAAAAAAAAAAA 💝

I'm so glad Willow is feeling better! She's so wonderful! <3 I love seeing her in your Saturday posts! And about the sketch with Lawrence, it's incredible! I really like his dynamic pose! I always admire your sketches (whether they're in the line process or not final lineart), you're always great, Gato! Even if you feel like you're not doing or trying as hard as you used to, it doesn't matter! You always try your best! Don't stress yourself out! And take care of yourself 🫶🏻

Gatobob

and lawrence came up to me, he looked up at me, and he said 'oh, please, sir' and there were tears in his eyes, and he came up to me and said ' you're the best writer the world has ever known, frankly, amazing writer, all the best plots and pacing, and he begged me to write his script, and I might, maybe, if that's what people think

Ginny

I missed the orange thing and had to reread, I was like why are we sounding oranges 😭 Law's game truly has everything

Pineapplecasket

sounding oranges to distract from the orange sounds is fantastic. I need escapism from American hell. Gato pls.

Taheca

I have confidence in your ability to work through the parts you're struggling with! 💪 Also, what a lovely conversation with Willow 💛

Ruxpin.exe

I can accept you making the server slime the walls every Saturday. I can accept you providing cat tax but not describing the way her feet smell (like Fritos). Hell I can even accept pineapple calling Strade simple compared to law (*sobs and fugues*). But I can’t abide by the server now talking like 🍊. When I catch you gato

Delores Lena

aw, dont be so hard on yourself ms.gato! you're soloing this project and you've already done so much. don't compare the progress for this game to strade's. from what i can understand, it looks like you nearly edited the entirety of day 2. which hey, thats a lot! no matter what pace you're creating at, i have full belief in your ability to make this game. eyes on the forest, not on the trees. or something, idk im not the best at motivation personally ive been stuck in a major rut creativity-wise so i get the self deprecation. but being kind and understanding to our own struggles can go a long way. easier to say than to do, but still i believe in you! a lot of us do

Pineapplecasket

My apologies. Strade isn't simple. He's great, probably the best kidnapper to exist, from what they tell me. His stomach, he's YUGE.

Ellie

I know things take time and mental health is important! But you have the greatest assistant ever, miss. Willow who’s there to be your little bastard kitty if needed! But if it helps, sometimes you can take a break to reset and distract yourself so you come back with a fresh mind. I do it with RE2 Remake bc Leon S. Kennedy is beloved- but what about you? What games do you play when you want a distraction? Or just to unwind lol.

kajerone

Bruh sometimes our pathetic best is all we got, especially in the harder months. The fact that you still make progress is enough! I wish you could send some snow my way, we have had a tragically dry winter where I’m at and we need snowpack in the mountains for summer 😩 Don’t forget to be patient with yourself too!

Dorkish

Like you said, February is rough even in the best of times, which we most certainly are not in lol. Even if for now its not very much, just put as much effort in as you're able to handle and take care of yourself! :3

Kyriey

you're such a hard worker and i find it admirable. there's always so much thought put into what you create and i think that's why it's so special, but please remember to be patient with yourself. you're doing great <3

Car

There is nothing harder in art than seeing a project you love and are passionate about, that you're pouring so much of your unique self and insight into, all the way through to fruition. You are making yourself vulnerable and sharing something that *matters* to people because it's genuine. And this isn't even the first time you've done it! If you can't do it confident do it pathetic. That's definitely inspiring to me! I hope you have a great week <3

Narwhal Panini

Omgggg good job on the work you got done! I know you said you still feel like it isn’t good enough but hey, just seeing progress and that you care so much is exciting an inspiring to see! Keep your mental health as a priority though ! Give many pets to Willow for me ! Best of wishes!!

angel

It is enough!! You just doing this is enough :-) we all love how its coming along so far. Sometimes doing projects is draining, or you miss some things and have to redo/fix them, and that's okay! Its all art in its own way, take your time and down burn yourself out <3 Lawrence looked SO GOOD TOO AHHH!!! He's a need. Idc if he takes my limbs that's fine 💔 What is your favorite part about making games btw? You showing the process makes me curious LOL is it the art, or some of the coding or??

ell

Love to see the progress so far!! But question ik you've been 1000% busy on this but have you heard of the characters from the outlast trials? feels like they'd fit right in with fox or the other way around lol

Gatobob

I'm honestly SO glad I chose a 'vocal' cat. They actually warned me several times at the humane society that she meows a lot 😭 but it's wonderful for someone like me, my apartment isn't lonely at all any more

ToothEar

Cat side eyeing me like im the one who made her barf on the towel

Ume_22

Willow clearly had some heavy gossips to tell back then

Gatobob

Lately I've been playing a LOT of Final Fantasy Tactics, they made a really nice rerelease on Switch that has voice acting [ it never had voice acting before ] and a brand new harder 'Tactician' difficulty which has been really fun for me [ I've played it like 4-5 times so I need more difficulty LMAO ]

Gatobob

Good question... I think I find writing the script to be the HARDEST part. Not just law's nightmare script but all of them. As for which part I enjoy the most, I think it's a tossup between finalizing the art [ pro: it's relaxing and all the hard decisions are already made so it's just labour and I can zone out, con: this stage takes foreeverrrrr always so many months ] and coding new screens or visual effects [ pro: the feeling of finally making something work EXACTLY how I wanted is like crack, con: the feeling of trying to make something work for hours and not making progress is like withdrawal from crack ]

Gatobob

LMAO alas, I don't know enough about Outlast to answer well. I've never played any of the series

ell

really?? i could've sworn you drew fanart back in day for the first game i could be confusing it with smtg else LOL

6RobotMonster6

Willow is so cute!! And MEOW your Lawrence sketches never fail to impress 😍 💗I love how expressive you draw him now its so delicious! Your writing always comes out amazing and we all understand that good writing takes time 💗 I believe in your power!! You got this!

Eli_Little_Workshop

Writing and scripting is honestly so much work, if anything i'm impressed you get through so much so quickly! And how could we be mad when we get such scrumptious sketches >:) I'm hoping for SO MUCH fluster on this boy, GET HIM

Para_Doxical

GODD I LOVE FLUSTERED LAWR!!! YESSSS!!! Im so pumped to see how his flusteredness would differ in the new game :oDD You write spiraling in nervousness and the logic-leaps anxiety goes so realistically so I’m very excited to see how its applied with how much you’ve grown as a writer/artist!! :o))),,!!

Tferret

THAT LITTLE FLUFF PEEKING OUT OF HIS PANTS YEEHSHSYEYSHSHHH i love LOVE how fluffy ya draw pubic/body hair 💗💗💗(//∇//)

Ellie

Real!! I’m going through RE2 just for the fun of playing it again lol- I def need the new Requiem game and RE4 bc I can’t go too long without Leon (the true man to sexualize in all of RE lol)

Kiki

Another win for the Lawrence tummy hair enthusiasts

corn

seeing the 3 individual hairs on lawrences happy trail makes me feel like a victorian man seeing ankle LMAO tysm for feeding us this week gato ❤️❤️

Mvrieth 🪽

LAWRENCE!! OMG I LOVE HIM SM, AND WILLOW ESPECIALLY, SHE'S SO CUTE YAYAYYYY TYSM FOR THE FOOD KFFHJDJ 💗💗💗

Mae Mae

does the green bar of doom/progress come around during the finalization of the artworks or am i crazy and remembering things incorrectly

Gatobob

Yup! It’ll be a long time til that stage again though, I still need to make all the placeholders

Bobby Goido

Lawrence blushing like a teenage girl is my favourite flavour of Lawrence. You feed us really well

Zackary

Completely off topic from your post but I just got news about trumps tariffs they are about to be taken down

Gatobob

I wish I had your faith that he would suddenly follow the law and stop stealing money from citizens 😂

Zackary

The news might be lying dunno 😔

ONOUT

Willow so cute! my cat refuses to use that bed tree and now it's become dove's bed. [= =;]

Dnnabi

Hi, I hope you're doing well, ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧ I have a little question. Does Ren go into heat? And if so, how would his behavior change?

Gatobob

I think this is another thing that people can play with and decide for themselves. Some may like a more realism shifted approach and some may like a more fantasy sided one, and I don't really feel like shutting down either camp if people can all just enjoy themselves, you know?

R-K Studios

I have many questions for you about YKMET, but I don't know if you'd like to answer them 🥹 Questions like, for example, does Ren always wear the same clothes he wears in YKMET Strade? (I mean, was that her only outfit during the time she was with Strade?)

Gatobob

I would assume Ren would wear other stuff, but of course I try to keep characters to one outfit if possible because changing outfits when there's already like a 100 sprites is a ton of work 😅

R-K Studios

Of course!! But what kind of clothes would you wear? Do you have a favorite? So many questions, I'm sorry! But one last one, when is Ren's birthday? It's a question I've had for a long time 🥹

Gatobob

I'm sorry, I don't have good answers for these 😅 I dont give any of my characters birthdays and havent given much consideration to fashion

Peoni

That 'happy trail' is about the only thing happy on that man lol 🌸🪻

gyuuppin

its so amazing how u can be so quick when drawing, like, ur posting a new piece every single saturday 👀 peter how r u doing that /ref

ResidentReptile

wrong ! I am also happy and on Lawrence 😼

Peoni

Yknow what? I love that for you, friendo 💀🌸 (real af)

Mae Mae

Awesome! So excited to see what you end up making :>! Do you think you’re gonna do the debuggers search again too once it’s needed? I’ve been dying to be one of them

Gatobob

Yup! I'll be doing that again, but that's at the very end of production so probably not for more than a year from now

Mae Mae

AHHHH!!! Omg awesomeeeee! So excited to see the updates that come out during that year ^^ keep up the amazing work gato <3!

LykWolf

OMG MISSED U GATO!! SORRU FOR NOT BEING PRESENT BUT PROBLEMS HEHE ( SMOOCH WILLOW NOSEY )
