I had a wonderful and relaxing break! I was able to recover finally, but the downside is that I don't really have anything to show you guys today ^^;

I did absolutely nothing except for playing pokopia and hanging around outside in the warmer weather. I've gotten to go outside without a coat for the first time this year ^o^

I also hit up some local town restaurants and had jambalaya, stroganoff, and sauerkraut soup with a delicious egg salad sandwich.

My pulsatile tinnitus is gone, and my other health issues seem to have gotten better too. I actually started dreaming again too, or remembering them at least. I feel like I hadn't remembered a dream for months, or maybe a year before this.

But, like I said, that means I have essentially nothing to show you guys, unless you wanna see my pokopia builds LMAO

Thank you very much everyone for letting me have this vacation. I seriously appreciate it, and I feel a lot better. Thank you for your generosity and patience.

I have actually attached pokopia build tours but PLEASE BE WARNED there are major spoilers, my game is very end-game with all the stuff unlocked and legendary pokemon and stuff, so only view if you're okay with that. It's just 3 areas because I haven't built much elsewhere. Also it's recorded from a phone propped up on a chair because I don't have streaming equipment so.... sorry about the quality LMAO

I'm quite proud of the little outdoor onsen thing in withered wasteland because it uses two weird game quirks to kinda cancel each other out and look more realistic [ Wood Siding is not waterproof, and can be attached to plank walkway. Additionally, different types of water do not mix, so if you spit hot spring water in the middle of fresh water, you can then spit more fresh water to tidy the edges and make a perfect rectangle of hot spring water. Since the wood siding isn't waterproof, you can visually separate it with those ]

I totally recommend this method, I bet you could do more weird stuff with it.

And of course, a few pics of Willow.

Thanks again for your patience with my time off. I hope I can be more productive again this week! I'll see you next saturday!

Happy you had a relaxing week 🫶 and willow is cute as ever.

Jackdaw

I can’t imagine how nice it must feel to not wear a coat for once, I forget Canada is always freezing 🤧 Willow looks so snug there 🥹

Silent Fox

Thats awesome!! I've been recovering from cysts, myself. So nice when our bodies stop being bitches amiright?

ResidentReptile

yayy! it's gotten warm here as well. so glad to finally see a two digit number on the thermometer for the first time this year! the thousand year winter curse is broken 🩷

Jakub Skrzypkowski

Very happy to finally see an update where you're all fine! :D

Ginny

Glad you enjoyed your break! Much deserved and much needed 👏 ❤️ Willow looks like such a little cuddle bug! Does she try to sleep on you when you sleep? Mine turns into a scarf the moment the weather gets cold LMAO Sending you strength for this next week, you got this!!

weoqaz

rest is very important! also it got warmer here in Lithuania too, today I was out in the old city in the centre since we had a polish parade and i participated, so i had to walk around under 22 celsius which is pretty hot now, but atleast finally spring has came! <3

Seven

I'm glad you were able to rest. Rest is truly important, especially for future success I hope you continue to feel well!

Kaeli Zweber

I'm so glad you got to relax some Gato! You definitely deserve it, and I'm glad you're feeling better! ❤️

Ume_22

HUZZZAAAHHHH WILLOW

Pineapplecasket

So glad you're feeling better!!! Take more time off if you need it! 🩷 Oh to be willow curled up in a blanket. She's SPOILED. (Lol I never remember dreams unless they're bad nightmares. Give me your secrets to bringing back the dreams 🫪)

GhostxPasta

I'm so glad you've got the rest you deserve. I hope your health keeps on getting better. Take your time!

Barghest shadows

Hell yeah! I'm glad that you were able to recover so much, we forget that pushing through our exhaustion isn't a strength and does far more harm. And thank you for reminding me that stroganoff exists, I practically lived on in it in uni and haven't had it in years.

Peoni

Well deserved break and glad you’re doing better. This will sound so… gah apologies but seeing Willow is a comfort rn as I’m currently in Canada (where I am rn has been weirdly hot to me. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like the cold, but people were like “oh Canada’s cold” so explain why I’ve been MELTING last night 🥹🌸) and I’m missing my cats, dog and plants a bunch. It’s kinda lonely here. I’m used to loneliness but also being taken care of? The area here’s a little rough too so I’m even more nervous lol sorry to yknow.. yeah. Glad Willow’s gracing the screen. Soothing presence. You keep looking after yourself. Gotta catch up tbh.

Falafel LB

It's such a relief to know you're feeling better! Stay safe, Gato and Willow ❤️‍🩹🫶

Efi

It's amazing to see you feeling so content and rested. 💕

CatHungryForTaco

Got the notification for this while replaying BtD2 lolol. Good to see you're doing better tho! ^o^

Avi D-link

sauerkraut soup?? boy you are an adventurous taster (u can’t make me eat it with a pewpow to my head and it’s a national dish here) so glad to have you back and congrats on spending some good recharge time for yourself 🫶🏻 u deserve it Gato!

YNYvi

I don't think anyone minds that you don't have anything to show. Honestly, I'm just happy that you’re resting and feeling a bit better to me, that’s more valuable than anything else 🌸🫶🫪🌸

Sara Fernández

I'm glad you got better! Please keep taking care of yourself!!!

Sara Fernández

Lord, your Pokopia builds are amazing, especially that tree!!!!!!

Pastel

Take care, Gato 🫶

kapibara chan

Ugh your builds are to die for. My friend won’t play pokopia with me anymore since he ‘finished the main story’. It’s so cute!

Alexis

Egg salad sandwich sounds so good rn 🤤

Tferret

IM SO GLAD THIS WEEK WAS MUCH NICER TO YOU!!! taking a break when needed is so important ( ´ ▽ ` ).。o♡ AND SAUERKRAUT SOUP??? ONE OF MY FAVVSSS I just love sauerkraut in general I'm simply delighted to hear only positive things from you again, and I cannot wait for the next week's update!! I hope your creativity is at a all time high 💗💗 OH AND ALSO did Willow get to enjoy the outdoors? It's gotten much warmer here in the Baltics, thus my very own kitty needs to be outside atleast 30min to a hour each day (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)

Gatobob

I’ve been taking her out to try almost daily and she’s beginning to want to stay out for a bit longer! Usually just a couple mins though before she wants to run inside still 😂 [ I always let her end ‘outside time’ on her terms ]

Hazel Knapik

Best Post-Yoga Notif everrrrrr. That sandwich sounds delish and YAYYYY WARM WEATHER

Tferret

That's def the best way to go about it!! Cats, or I guess all animals??, love to be in control of their surroundings to feel safe thus being able to run into their home at any moment def helps!! Do you use a harness of sorts, or is she just fully free to roam around? I don't have a fully fenced backyard, thus my cat needs to be on a leash (。•́︿•̀。)

Gatobob

Oh I got a harness for her! She barely wants to be 3 steps from the door but I’d rather be safe than sorry 😂

beryl

take care of yourself angel we all love you sm 🩷

words

willow is sooooo cute!!! many pets for her :)

B3G_CRY & B4DG1RL

i hope you had a wonderful and relaxing vacation our dear gato 💘💘💘💘

Mvrieth 🪽

I'm so happy you got a well-deserved rest! And even more so knowing it was so good for you. Take good care of yourself gato yeyeyey!!! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

Yolka

I hope you had a good rest. This is very important for your health. And Willow is a great mood booster!!!(⁠灬⁠º⁠‿⁠º⁠灬⁠)⁠♡

Anansehu

It’s so nice that you were able to relax and that you’re actually feeling better! And your cats are so cute, I just want to cuddle them. I so love cats, but in my situation, I can’t have one of my own yet. As for the weather, it’s been really warm here in Germany too. It was around +25°C on Friday, a bit stuffy, but still really nice. Warm, sunny weather just puts me in a better mood Jambalaya? That’s rice with sausages or ham, right? Ahah, I actually made something like that once when I was experimenting in the kitchen. It turned out really tasty! I didn’t use shrimp or anything like that, but still...><

ShinanaEvangelian

I'm happy to hear you had a good and relaxing vacation, and it's great to hear your health improved.

Rainuu

JDevilswag

proud of you for taking a break !♥︎ no need to thank anyone for 'letting' you have a break, you deserve it especially since you're working solo on such a big project!!! looking forward to next week ^^

corn

Oh hey we have the same headphones! Willow's looking cute and comfy as always, so happy you had a good break! ^^

RottenMushrooms

Vacations are always the best!!! And happy you're feeling better! Health is extremely important! omg all that food sounds so good especially that sauerkraut soup 🍲🤤 Extremely tempted to make it!!!

Elmirian

I'm so glad you had a rest! I hope this week will be very productive for you! Have a nice day 🫶. I also wanted to ask, how do you make a choice in the form of a picture? Just in part 2 where Lawrence and Ren were, we could choose one of the drinks, how exactly do you do it..? Sorry, I hope I'm not distracting, I just can't find any tutorial... sorry again

Gatobob

This is a more complicated technique because it involves custom screens on Ren'Py. Screens use a slightly different coding language. The documentation on them is long, but worth reading: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html#add-statement [ I have that page auto locked to the 'add' statement, since that's the line you'd need to add an imagebutton [ like the drinks ] And here's the documentation on image buttons: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html#imagebutton

Elmirian

OMG, THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏☺️

Mae Mae

the cat photos will suffice 😼

peebsie

We would love to see your future pokepia builds, Gato! Glad you’re feeling better, hope the food was yummy gng— hallo willow, I send virtual pets. I’m glad you got a nice vacation in you, hope you have a great day!🫂💛

Nagito Komeada

Eek!! Hope you had a good vacation!! Cute kitty :3 was the Jambalaya any good? I’m a New Orleans resident so I was suprised to see it mentioned in one of my fav creator’s posts :3 also quick Ren related question, sorry if it’s annoying, feel free to ignore, but what do you imagine him to sound like? (In both YKMET & TPOF)

Gatobob

I don’t have much info about voices because I struggle to imagine them for some reason 😅 I think better in pictures. The Jambalaya was great though! It had huge perfectly cooked shrimp which is very hard to find where I live 😂

Nagito Komeada

Ah glad you liked it! If you are ever in New Orleans, you should try some local 👀 I’ve always imagined young Ren to sound like Dr Masacrick from the English dub of psychocuties, and Fox to sound like Dr. Easterman from outlast! :3

S0ULBL00D

AWHHH Willow! And goated for playing pokopia! I’ve been so obsessed with my switch 2 and tomodachi life 😅 I plan on soon getting pokopia ! I hope you’re enjoying it! I love hearing others views on it as it inspires me more and more to get it ❤️

Genesisdotfbx

so glad to see this week was good for you! i was curious where you get your foley/SFX for your games? ive been looking high and low for good sounds for more *ahem* violent scenarios and i cant find anything as good as the sounds in your games, thank you for always being so helpful with my questions every week!!

Gatobob

I use Envato Elements! It’s a subscription library so it costs money, but the quality is great! I was able to get music there too back before I started making my own

Tenebris

Willow is absolutely adorable!!! >w<

sioxxqie

It's good that your health is improving! Also Willow is so sweet 💘💘

femratxz

im glad you had a good break!! i thoroughly enjoyed the pokopia tours. just out of curiosity, and its fine if you can’t answer this because it might be too spoilery (or if you aren’t sure yet) but what do you project the non-con rating from mild to severe might be for lawrence’s game? i know you mentioned there would be a bit more sexual content!

Gatobob

That's genuinely kinda hard to answer, since it's hard to 'rate' a scene like that. I guess what I can say is, there are certainly more sexual scenes than the original [ original only had 1 scene IIRC ], but most of them do not play out like Strade's. I think some could be called dubcon [ dubious consent ], but largely I would just categorize most of them as 'weird'

femratxz

that’s a perfectly good answer! i get that most sex with someone holding you hostage is probably not truly consensual even if you say yes LOL, so i definitely should have specified what i was wondering. thank u for responding! :D

Saffron Oleander

eee so excited to be here and happy to hear you had a good break!!! <3 thank you for such a lovely cast of characters , the games have been a real comfort for me lately x3 much love to you gato!!

Chiibi Nyangel

I’m unsure if you’ve previously answered this but I’m in the process of making my own VN & I was wondering what branching tool you used for branching out options & routes? ;;

Gatobob

I use draw.io to help plan out my script to start with, then I just code/write directly into renpy files after that!

Cam Chameleon

Every time you update, as i read i make a list of all the constructive and encouraging things i want to tell you about what you’ve done and what you’re struggling with… Then the Willow Segment hits and suddenly i can only think about how cute she looks, and it knocks anything else i wanted to say out of my brain! Anyways, thank you for working so hard on this project, and I’m so glad you’re feeling better after your break.

Gatobob

She’s unbelievably photogenic. I have a real winner pic for next Saturday already 😂

Clownthulhu

I’ve been meaning to ask, but I kept forgetting to. What gender is Kangaroo? Whenever I read anything about Fox and his guards are brought up. People go back and forth with Kangaroo’s gender.

Gatobob

Do they really? I originally intentioned Kangaroo as male but if people are going back and forth, I think that's fun! I have so many male characters and it certainly doesn't matter for the canon plot 😂

Clownthulhu

I think it’s because of the braid. I was curious because I love reading about Fox with his guards because people make little funny stories with them sometimes.

Gatobob

Honestly I'm just happy that it's something completely different from people wondering if they're meant to anthony and chet from TINR, which is pretty embarrassing for me since I've seen that question multiple times and I can't deny that it's simply proof of poor character design choices on my part 😂 🙈 [ they're very much not supposed to be, but it's clear I had a brain fart and made them look too similar to old characters from a different project without thinking RIP ]

Anjelea Fisher

Yay, I'm so glad to hear that your health is improving!! That's awesome news :D Here for my once-in-a-blue-moon reply ( I do always read every update!!) I'm glad to see you're still managing to take care of yourself and you aren't doing too much work. Happy Gato and happy gato (Willow), yay -heart-

Gatobob

I actually got an email ping for the other comment you left, answering someone on a post from october, and it was just kind of a nice lucky thing for me. I liked rereading your original comment, and I also found it helpful to look at my post from october and see how far I’ve come on the project since then. Sometimes this work feels a little like a treadmill and it’s hard to conceptualize my progress 😅 but anyway, I’m rambling. The point is, thanks!

vuk

if anything its an unintentional little easter egg reference for the ogs 😂

curse

I've been listening to the Lawrence music experiments and i have to say the second mp3 reminds me of fucked up and evil version of ultrasound white noise. and the other noises in the track really make me think of a stuffy underwater place. i find a womb theme to be interesting for Lawrence. like i feel like it fits in with the afterlife, undead, cosmic horror parts of his ordeal. i have no idea if its intentional or im just making shit up but omg i hope its kept in the final version of a track regardless

curse

anyway!! its good that your pulsatile tinnitus is gone! i had to deal with it before its was annoying (and scary)

Clownthulhu

I think you did a really good job with his guards. Rhino looks like he would fold me in half if I barely step out of line and Kangaroo looks like he’s gonna do unspeakable things to me if he’s given a chance and just crazy looking.

Cam Chameleon

Oh my gosh, that photo… you werent kidding! Those sparkly big ol’ eyes, aaahhhh!💕
