Okay so last week, was. Mmmhmm. Yup. Last week 😏

Alright I'm gonna level with you. Last week was a little hellish for a few reasons, but I'm just very much not in the mood to talk about it. I've had enough of my own complaining LMAO

I got to see sunlight recently and that was big, so I'm mentally there now. Choosing to be there.

As for work, I think I got a fair amount done considering the circumstances. I've finished up this specific sequence I'm on [ or at least the parts of it I planned to do for now ]. I also designed a couple new screen effects that I'm very pleased with! Not showing those for now but just letting y'all know I'm cooking on the effects front.

Let's see what I can dig up to actually show you guys...

[ Please don't repost my stuff to social media | Пожалуйста, не публикуйте мои работы в TikTok. ]

I also worked on the background for the River. I'm happy to report that my ideas for a new background style seem to be working!

Willow zone!

The sun brought out bird activity so she's been enjoying watching her bird drama stories out the window lately 😌

I've also attached a video of her at the bottom, plus some pics of a project I've been building in pokopia in my off time [ attached because it's pokopia spoilers, spoilers of items only, no pokemon in the pics ] It's a terraced rainbow flower garden with an ivy pergola and a gazebo habitat at the top. Still working on the zone, gonna add natural style water features at the bottom later.

Anyways, thank you guys so much for your support and kind words. I really do appreciate it

Stay safe, and see you next week!

Haisunn

Wow!! I love the seemless turn around transiton for the river

Mvrieth 🪽

OMG THE RIVER!!! I'M SO HAPPY TO SEE NEW UPDATES (from Willow too, I love her) thanks for the food again, we love you gato 🥹🥹🥹🥹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

kiya

lawrence looks so good 🤤🤤 and willow is looking cute as always!! we appreciate everything!

Luminoxie

Bah sorry you had a rough one Gato but hey, glad you're getting some sunlight 💛✨ As for the river background, omg the panning and moving in it looks fantastic already! Going to be so cool to admire the full image of that!

pine.circus

Dude, Lawrence look much more intense now, i just can't wait for the game✨

ResidentReptile

LOVE how the river turned out 😫 and I hope the Russian will have its desired effect

Pineapplecasket

Oh I love how the river is looking!!! The 3d effect is lovely on it with how you pan around. 🩷 You are CHUGGIN ALONG!! I hope this following week is much better than the previous! Willow looking and precious as ever 🥺

catie 🌷

“neh” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

fairybunni

Hope things are getting better for you, and I love how the river is turning out! I can't wait to see how you'll expand on the lore itself 💕

Seven

ooooh, I remember the words about the river from the stream where you played BTD2, I’m very glad that you were able to realize your ideas! In fact, I'm really looking forward to expanding the lore of the River, because I'm sincerely curious about what it will be like in the new game (I'm delighted that the river seems completely endless)

Barghest shadows

I hope next week treats you better and hooray for sunlight. And that panning looks incredible and I can't believe I've only just noticed the thorns in the corners 😅

Gatobob

I have taken measures to make sure next week is better [ I've blocked reddit on my computer and phone. I'm done letting it give me panic attacks ]

Alexstor

the looking around makes the moving around mechanics very very cool, like you’re really there. im living for this cold/dark way you’ve characterized him rather than when he only went between trying to appear normal and actively being manic in btd2**. he’s the opposite of strade in a lot of ways and this cold approach to his ‘normalcy’ really makes that obvious, besides for when his sanity breaks of course. as a russian guy im disappointed you had to translate for the leakers to possibly stop 💀, but amazing work as always.

Barghest shadows

Hell yeah, I ditched Instagram for similar reason and honestly best decision I made in years

Yuki the Demon

I love Lawrence he's soooo beautiful…… Omg I adore the 3d animation while looking around! That's soo cool🥺

Marzipan

Okay, to be honest, I was shocked by the proposal in Russian, ahaha.

Ruxpin.exe

Yeah… it’s great when uh…. People send you… kind words…. *internal panicking*

Nickitten uwu

Awww Law looks so gorgeous, I can’t wait to see him with his hair down, I love how it looks and everything is progressing, I hope you’re fine Gato, you and cutie Willow. <3

JDevilswag

omg the pokopia screenshots finally give me an opportunity to ask , are you gonna play tomodachi life living the dream when it comes out?

UKROP

WOW, THE IDEA WITH THE "PANORAMIC" BACKGROUND IS VERY COOL, I didn't think something like that would be in your game Anyway, I wish you luck and strength! I hope this post won't be on other social networks.

Ginny

OMG the River background is turning out so cool! I love that 3d affect sm 👁️👁️ Glad you're finally getting some sunshine, I'm sorry it's been rough for you. If I could mail you some of my sunlight, I would. Willow's little "neh" is too cute oml 😭May her bird soap operas continue! Wishing you a good week!

Gatobob

I don't plan to tbh, I've never played a tomodachi game ^^; I usually just buy one game and play it into the ground for months LMAO I'll probably want to switch genres next time too. I tend to bounce around between cozy builders, 3D platformers, and tactical battle simulations 😂

nessie graice.ua📷🩷

I'm really sorry that people don't listen to you and about not posting your work on Tik Tok because I understand how it kills the desire to do SOMETHING.I hope that people will finally realize that you shouldn't do this. But not about the sad, I really like the animation of the river and Lawrence's sketches! His emotions are something with something! I WANT TO EAT HIM X))) You're a great Gato for doing such a painstaking job! I'm really looking forward to the full version of the game!

Sara Fernández

Willow being cute as always!!! Are you having fun with Pokopia? I already have like 150 hours of playtime and I still feel I haven't done anything, even though I already finished the main story and the pokedex 🥲🥲🥲 I like that we can see more of Lawarance's eyebags, idkkk he loooks so done with everything!!

words

omg my best friend is ALSO playing Pokopia and showed me pics of her builds just yesterday!!! Now I feel like I need to play too, but sadly, no switch 😞😞 speaking of games and my friend, in honour of her, I have to recommend her favourite game, Gnosia. If you ever have time, I recommend it! (according to her at least, I still haven't played and she hates me for it 😁)

Elmirian

God, this looks so cool... 🤤 can I ask how you make this stress and life scale? I just want to try making one... but I'm an idiot

kajerone

Glad to hear and see progress! Sorry the week sucked, hope the next one is better ❤️‍🩹

Gatobob

Same here honestly, a ton of hours, done the story and nearly done the pokedex, just building my own made up ideas now LMAO I completely terraformed the main sky island back to nature with grass and crystal, replaced the garbage tower with stone, and made waterfalls everywhere 😂 At this point the pokemon are secondary, this is just my building imagination land now

Eli_Little_Workshop

Omg i remember you pitching the idea for the River in the walkthrough video back then, It's already giving such a cool effect I can't wait to see what you're going to do with the finished product! As for people reposting, yeah I'm so sorry it's still happening. If it's any consolation, every time I see one of them people are chastising the poster for doing that before blocking and reporting them, so hopefully it'll dwindle down soon enough. i don't understand pretending you love a work and then blatantly disrespect the author like that smh I hope you and Willow get more sunlight and happy days (and bird dramas), it's always awesome to hear from you Gato <3

Elmirian

OH GOD THANK YOU 💞!!!!! I'M PRAYING FOR YOU 🙇

Yan_qn Lsa

Situation and people doing that suck. Gotta admit i love the surprise element, though. When I'd actually get to play the game and experience smth new. It already looks really cool, with all possible the interactions and stuff. Stay strong and take care of yourself everyone🩷

Sara Fernández

That sounds amazinggg! I have only done like the first area, and it was just like the Pokécenter area, and now with Tomodachi coming, I don't know what I'm going to do with myself 🤣🤣

Kiki

Yk I'm up late when I catch the weekly patreon post relatively on time

Tferret

DUDE THE POKOPIA BUILDS ARE AMAZING???? as someone who doesn't play the game, it looks very impressive!! (≧▽≦) HOPE YOU HAVE A BETTER TIME NEXT WEEK!!! In this day and age, we gotta live one day at a time

Genesisdotfbx

wow this looks awesome!!! looking forward to this more than ever, gato ^^ i was curious if you had a voice claim for lawrence? like a character or person that sounds like what you imagined his voice to sound??

Pineapplecasket

I can hear the delicate bottle chimes from here 🙂‍↔️🩷

Pastel

Take care, Gato 🫶

ToothEar

"Meh" I love willow so much I wanna give all the pets

NottsFujisaki

pixel

OMG LAWRENCE LOOKS AMAZING!!!!! and the river mentioned !??!?! awesome saturday gatobob WE LOVE YOUR WORK (and willow looking adorable as always ♡♡♡)

6RobotMonster6

I hope you are doing ok! Your doing amazing work but please take care of yourself too 🫂💗 I love how The River looks so far and Lawrence shhhing the MC 😍 Say hi to Willow also for me she is always soooo cute! 💗

Purin

ЛЛВШВЩВ ЭТО ТАК КЛАССНО

Purin

YES

Purin

Willow is a very cute kitty i hope she knows it

kapibara chan

Willow makes me so happy. I just love cats.

sadfatwoman

Im so excited for this game! I look forward to every saturday for lawrence and willow updates

Gatobob

Not really, I never do voice claims cuz I'm just not good at remembering voices LMAO Although I will say I've been recently watching a playthrough of kingdom hearts birth by sleep and I think Terra sounds a little like how I imagine Lawrence? Like he's got this deep voice that COULD carry well but he always seems to be trying to talk as quietly as possible to the point where it sounds a little awkward. That's how I imagine Lawrence

Genesisdotfbx

wow! thats super interesting, thank you!!

DAKIMAKIU

Que raro que no te dijeron maraka

DAKIMAKIU

Lorenzo en plan: A callarsee...

Gatobob

I will be better next week 🙏 I trust And thank youuu! I'm really quite proud of that one because I feel like I nailed the weird lazy posing I wanted, making the gesture sloppier

Nugget

Hope you are able to catch some rest after the last week!

Clownthulhu

Why was my first thought when I saw Lawrence shushing us, him saying “shhhh babygirl, let me take care of you~”?

6RobotMonster6

No you really got that vibe down! Its gonna be so excited to see him on his full glory 😍

SammRacoon

Hii gato! I hope youre having a nice day, I wanted to ask u you smth only if you want to answer ofc! It's about Strade, on the first meeting at the bar when he offers us beer and gets up he seemed a bit "skinny"? I just wanted to know if he's that kind of man who "holds in" or hides his belly to "impress people" I wanted to know if that's the case or u just drew it that way! Thx for the updates Gato and I hope you have a nice weekend 🙏

SammRacoon

I just wanted to know cuz irl there's men who does that and Strade doing the same is a funny concept to me 😭

Gatobob

I mean he does want to ‘take care’ of MC

Gatobob

That’s such a funny concept 😂 I never considered it! [ I just draw characters off model sometimes, esp the first several times and I drew that sequence first ] I feel like he probably wouldn’t do that though? Like he’s just so deeply secure with himself LMAO

Cas

Guys she took us to the river 😳 Then blessed us with a Willow squeak/meow 🥹 am healed am cleansed am rejuvenated! She’s powerful ok! Also not me just 👁️👁️💚 at the garden, that looks so pretty! Were it real I’d literally visit for frolic and nap time! Ugh I miss flowers 😭 they’re slowly coming back here along with the sun but it’s Alaska so the process is slooow. I hope you get more sunshine in your neck of the woods soon Gato, I know it’s sorely needed 🥺 NOT LAWRENCE SHUSHING US! Ugh brat that I am my immediate kneejerk is to I CAN BE LOUDER!!!!! I know that is NOT the correct response to that given the situation but the instinct is strong 😤 Also please I love his half assed lil gesture for it -kicks leggies- I can’t wait to see those effects you were talking about, and I hope you’re doing well Gato! Hang in there and take care of yourself, the warmer weather and brighter days are coming 🫶

Nickitten uwu

Noti m dijo que me odia. <\3 Daki ayudaaaa.

✰ kalia

WOOOO ANOTHER UPDATE!!

Shay ☪︎

Lawrence shushing just gave me more years on my lifespan. :,) I hope next week treats you better!!! <3 I do have a sneaking suspicion you've played Sims before..

Gatobob

I actually used the sims 4 to model and trace several of the backgrounds in TPOF. It saved me a ton of time!

CatHungryForTaco

The river literally looks soso cool. Oh my days🤑🤑. Actually hit the jackpot with this update!!!

Dipply

I’m wondering if those two snippets of screenshots are back to back, because if they are, that seems to imply his sanity went _up_ at the player crying. Which tells me his sanity can improve by seeing the others be poor/mentally strained. And I think that’s funny. Anyways cries.

DAKIMAKIU

¡¿QUEEE?!... Hablaré con ella...

✰ kalia

reminded me of princess and the frog with that one scene where the dude keeps getting big after not being able to hide it anymore 😭

LykWolf

Hi gato! Hi willow! today is blessing because I saw this post and I see how much you work for this project! <3 ( BARKBARK )

Shay ☪︎

This is actually really clever, I didn't think of this! I usually have a really hard time sketching & drawing backgrounds, so I definitely will be using this little trick. :]

Pupu Humpsa

I hope the upcoming week treats you well! Great job as always <3<3 don't push yourself to a burnout :P!!! Take care

Sir Yoshiette

WE LOVE U GATO!!!! Keep it up!!! I live in the tropic but let me tell you it's getting pretty fucking hellish here too... The skies are gray but there's no rain, it's randomly cold and randomly hot... Climate change is fucking with everyone 🥀 I love how the river is turning out, I hope it's cozy for me because my ass will be there A LOT.

Ailey

What’s the new bar on the right?

Hal

i believe that's law's sanity meter!

Hal

thanks for the update! take care of yourself!

Gatobob

Hal is correct, it’s Lawrence’s sanity

Lolhopetch

The river background looks so cool!! Spinning mechanic :00 I wonder how you'd even code something like that your ability is truly astounding 😭😭 One thing i was wondering is that will ykmet lawrence have a personality factor like Strade's or will something else be used in its place? This was probably answered in an earlier update but I cant remember for the life of me 😭💔 Good work this week and good luck!! Stay hydrated!! :DD

Emily Lemur

Law shushing me as I weep has me acting up 💦

Gatobob

I would say ‘not really’. The functionality is still in the code but I’ve barely used it. Might use it more in later edits but for the most part the gameplay will go in a different direction

Lolhopetch

I see, thank you :D!

Jade

I’ve noticed your art’s getting a lot more loose/flexible as it continues to get even better! There are less rigid looking poses and everything looks more and more natural as time goes on! It’s fantastic!! :O Also, I was curious but after Lawrence and Ren are done do you know (it is a bit early) if you’d have any interest in making horrorporn games with new characters? I was thinking the other day and a mini-game in the YKMET style with Komodo & Dragon, or like… a TPOF sequel with Derek following the aftermath of his ‘he keeps you’ ending would be super fun and interesting!

Gatobob

I have no plans for what I’ll do after the YKMET series for now. Planning the next 4 years of my life feels like enough 😂

pebbles

In sorry you had a rough week :( I hope next week is better! I'm always impressed by your art, it's got like a cool feel to it idk how else to describe it. I also love how edgy Lawrence is so far teehee. The pokopia build is gorgeous btw!

Strawbunnie Shortcake 🧁

beautiful artwork 🫶 also I noticed that Lawrence is the only BTD+TPOF character who we never get to, u kno …. (perform oral intercourse on)) (ꈍᴗꈍ) i wonder if this is something we may expect mayhaps ??

Dorby

omg Willow’s little chirp im in tears

Bambi Burton

wow the screen panning looks amazing!! take care of yourself 🩷🩷

JDevilswag

awww i see, if you miraculously end up playing it tho PLZZ provide screenies!! <3 i really think you'd enjoy playing it since the new game lets you have SOOO MUCH creative freedom!!

tapetumlucidum

i remember loving the visual passage of time in lawrences route, and the river looks like a 3d space even in the sketch phase! im loving these previews!

beryl

UGHHH I LOVE LOVE LOVEEEE THIS SO MUCHHH. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF MOTHER WE ALL LOVE YOU SO MUCHH

Yukiyaorz

He even gave us a drink, how thoughtful of him! As for why we needed him to do that, I’d rather not get into it… It’s a new week, and I’m so glad to hear you’ve had some sunshine! It’s been raining here all week, so I made the most of the one sunny day and went for a walk! I’m really looking forward to the new screen effects! <3<3<3

gloomyghost

Will we still get to indirectly kiss him too 👁️👁️? It can also be directly 🙂‍↕️ Thank you, -A shameless Lawrence simp

gloomyghost

And he’s so considerate of his neighbors, telling us to keep it down ☺️ he’s so sweet

gloomyghost

I love your cats they’re so cute! Especially the one that has hands. Anyways thanks for sharing more with us and I hope this week is better for you!! The river sequence looks amazing already I can’t wait for the finished game!

Ailey

Cool!

rotten soulmate

Thank you so much for the update! I'm sorry you didn't have such a good week, let's hope next week is better ❤️‍🩹 You work really hard for us, if you need a day or two to clear your head from all the crap we'll understand 🫶🏻. By the way, I don't know if you mentioned it or not, But won't this game include credits for those of us subscribed to your Patreon?

m3lody_XoXo

Thank you for the food Gatobob 🧎‍♀️‍➡️

Gracen Crozier

Hello Gato, I hope you’re doing well today and overall. I know you’ve said before that you stream on a whim, whenever you feel like, but I wanted to ask if you ever plan on announcing your streams a day or so before they begin? I work a graveyard shift, so I’m usually asleep during the times you would stream, but I would still love to attend them when I can. Your work means a LOT to me as someone who has been invested since early Tumblr days, and streams are apart of that. It’s easy to interact with you here on Patreon since this is where you’re most active, but getting to watch you draw, chat, and ask questions during streams is also hugely rewarding. On a different note, I previously ran an account on instagram dedicated to sharing your work (only public pieces you’ve shared, nothing off Patreon), but have since stopped. Would you be okay with me sharing your public pieces over there, or would you rather I not? I haven’t posted on it in a rather long time, since I wasn’t sure of your stance. The last thing I want to do is make you uncomfortable. Thank you for reading, and I hope that even if you never plan on announcing streams in advance, that you know you still have my support and enthusiasm. 🩶 Good luck with YKMET:L work! Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Gatobob

In YKMET:Strade the credits section was a special fundraiser where people could pay $20 to get their name in the credits. The game was successful enough with game sales and such that I now have enough money to finish YKMET:Lawrence without a fundraiser like that. Doing the credits every month is more work and pressure, so I decided that I'd rather take that pressure off, and put that extra effort into making this game as good as I can make it.

Gatobob

I would prefer if people didn't post my art on social media, sorry ^^; As for the streams, all I can say is that I'll keep it in mind. I generally don't even know I want to stream until the day I do

sophia

So super cool gatobob creator of you kill me every time and boyfriend to death… love law… love kitty…….very cutieful <3

Gracen Crozier

That’s okay, there’s no need to apologize. I’ll terminate the account then (I haven’t updated it since 2021 anyway). I realize that my ask is selfish, and honestly you didn’t even have to consider it, but thank you. I appreciate your response.

Narwhal Panini

Yayayayay love the progress! So happy you got to see the sun and play some pokopia! I can’t wait to get that game!

Yolka

Wow, that's so good!!!

Elmirian

hello! I hope I'm not interrupting... but I would like to ask how you feel about your games inspiring other artists to create similar games? I'm just really inspired by you and started making a game because of you. and I understand that if it weren't for you, I wouldn't even think of trying myself in this field. I really want to thank you and wish you a good day/evening/morning 🙇🫶🫶🫶🫂(I don't know what time it is in Canada, sorry)

beryl

Hi gatooo can i ask what do you feel about the red guy's voice from dont hug me im scared??

Gatobob

It makes me very happy to hear about other people being inspired by my work! Either to make art, or games, or anything. I was inspired by artists I loved, and now that people say they're inspired by me, I'm honoured. It makes me feel like I've earned a place as a link in the chain of human ideas. The world needs more art too. That's better for everyone

Gatobob

I love him! I think it's great!

meowafl/kisha⌆

week 2 asking Gato questions abt Strade/j I remember you answered que abt Strades scar story on tubmlr or smth but...anyway maybe it get reworked? like all his lore(;゚Д゚) tbh i really expected it to be silly and funny but "shaving accident"... btw working on Lawrences project looks really impressive hes so sussy😭✌️

theirlimerence

Sorry I know you’ve mentioned this before, but I can’t find the name for it anymore. But all I wanted to ask is what do you use for your flowcharts?:,)

Gatobob

I've never seriously answered the question, and I'm sorry but I probably never will ^^; I know some people hate the way I refuse to answer little questions like this but in my eyes unanswered questions are just as much a part of art as the white space in a drawing. I feel like it's important for the composition I want

Peoni

I could post a well thought out comment. But I’m not. I’m down bad for The River. Pure and simple. It’s so… Silent Hill for me (I’m thinking the original 3) and Silent Hill just… it really was a powerful pull that I find myself lapping into again and again. I’d go far enough to ask to be shown The River, that place just… I love it 🥹🌸
