Good morning! Happy Saturday!

I don't really have a lot to report this week, but in a good way LMAO It just went pretty smoothly. I did take Labour day off though, mostly just because I was still tired from a super busy weekend 😅

I guess I can give an overall progress update though!

We are now sitting at 805 placeholder sprites. Strade's game had about 573 😂 And I'm not really that close to being done yet.

Here's an approximate view of how much of the script I have drawn/programmed with placeholders:

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

Love Like Drowning book update: As far as I know, the new cover is approved and live on Amazon to buy!

https://www.amazon.com/Love-Like-Drowning-serial-romance-ebook/dp/B0H3WQDC1Z

I ordered one for myself and I'm gonna make sure it's the new version in my hands before I announce it's 100% ready to buy. I'm PRETTY sure you can get it now, but I want to be sure before I make a big deal about it LMAO [ I also want real life pics of it in my hands ]

Also- hate to have to add this again, but please don't harass my friend because you're envious I'm putting so much attention on this. I'm allowed to have friends and artistic peers. I'm a human person who deserves to choose my own friends, and having good authors to talk to has only inspired me to do better with my own work. I know 99% of you don't need to hear this again but apparently 1% does 😮‍💨

Willow Corner!

She was staring at the string lights I put up 🥺 You can see the reflection of them in her eye

And I finally got a pic of her not being photogenic LMAO:

I hope you're having a nice early autumn! I'm going to go take a nice long walk to the town cafe and possibly buy a new sweater from the clothing shop next door.

Thank you so much for your support! See you next week!

I love how Lawrence looks so offended in the first one I'm cringe 😭 Such a photogenic willow!! Love the nail moncher!

Ventis Latte

the blood on laws hands... 😝😝😝 lemme at it LEMME AT IT— also you drawing 800+ Lawrence playholders is wow. wow I cannot wait to see 800+ (LIKELY WAY MORE) Lawrence in da game...

Seven

I’m glad you had a nice break! It makes me sad that you have to keep asking people not to bother your friends; really, a lot of people online need to start respecting personal space. In any case, I hope you have a great weekend!!

ResidentReptile

(Lawrence stop fingering me when I'm on my period 😠) also why's the sanity bar crunchy in that picture? 🤨

koji

insane progress! thats a lotta placeholders, bug huge applause for you!! gonna grab a book for sure

hinananas

Sorry Strade about your placeholders but I am SO GLAD to see how many sprites Law's gonna have uysisgsus (btw happy saturday everyone!!)

gurogoth

The fact the disclaimer about friends even needs to be said 😭 wild world we live in. Anyways I'm. Licking Lawrence's hand clean and taking up residence inside his ribcage YIPPEE WAHOO OH GOODY

needleconsumer

Oh god what's he drinking is it something dastardly?

Yolka

Willow is so funny when she's sitting down. She's like a pie :3

Piercer

damn, i think you might hit a thousand sprites with lawrence 😭😭

Efi

"Of her not being photogenic" Sure, tell yourself that. We all know who's the queen, who's the diva 😺 Just look at those pawpaws, look at those nails 💅✨ 👑 On a side note, have a nice weekend Gato.

Willow Wisp

Omg I didn’t notice that

Pineapplecasket

See that Lawrence pic while cramping has me feel a way 😏🩷 LOL I'm glad your weekend was productive and nice!! Excited to see how the book cover turns out. That got approved FAST goddamn. Honestly shocked people are giving the author hate because you're sharing your interests beyond your OCs/game making here. Like that's your friends work and you're supporting them 😭 people fucking suck. They don't deserve to enjoy your media if they're going to be such dicks about the most normal of things to do for others you care about. I hope everything is alright and that nonsense stops!

StradesRealHusband

I love seeing this game develop from the beginning. One question: will we have different endings besides the ones that btd 2 originally had? PD: WE LOVE YOU GATOBOB

Ginny

WILLOW BEAN PICS 🫪 Law sprites looking good and making me feral per usual, SO curious about what's going on that first one 👀 Glad you got some rest after a busy weekend! Can't wait to order the new book copy, as soon as my next paycheck comes in I'm getting it 🙌 so happy Car is getting the recognition they deserve, I'm sorry there's been a few bad apples being shits 😔

c4berk1ttyy

Same time next week.. 🫱💵💵

Salami sam

Oh joyous days saturday hath arrived! Ah alas once again the 1% taking it upon themselves to be assholes, the bougeoisie strikes again

Trollfolk

Very excited to see if it's the new cover of the book. I absolutely loved the story and would be happy to buy another copy! (Gift the original to a friend whose borrowing it now ♡)

Trollfolk

Also the Willow Corner always makes my Sat, tell her we love her!

Moths

Why is law so offended lmfao WHAT DID WE DO?? 😭 Also I just bought the book, I can't wait to read it :3

Gatobob

Yes- there are currently 21 endings and some of them aren't comparable to the original path. But honestly, the entire script is pretty different. I've tried to keep in elements I really liked about the original but I've shuffled things around to have them work better. This isn't so much a remake as it is a new game based on the original [ Kind of like YKMET: Strade, though I would say this one strays even further from the source material ]

Moth

Lawrence is such a little guy. I love the last placeholder, he looks so peaceful but that's probably not great for us lol. Have a nice walk:) HI WILLOW

Barghest shadows

I love the way you've highlighted your game script ☺️ Also wasn't expecting that the Love Like Drowning to be approved so quickly, still need to wait to get though 😂

Ruxpin.exe

Gato I am also writing a book, it’s a chronological epistolary (get it) memoir of every piss bottle in law’s apartment complete with bacterial urinalysis and flavor profile, when can I have the cover draft thanks sorry

Bushra

Health to your hands Gatobob 🙏🏿

Luarion_

Lawrence looks so cool!! 🐱 also willow looks so cute!

tito

I'm looking forward to the memeworld😂

words

i put the book in my cart immediately!!! i wonder where lawrence pulled that blood out of..

scarredbf

law looking amazing as always... the book covers came out AMAZING! i'm gonna have to buy a second copy just for your art on the covers tbh. It sucks that people can't just let your friends be :( have a good rest of your week(end) gato!

Hez

Wow the amount of sprites you're doing is wild!! You're so strong 🫶 I'm sooo excited about this game

kajerone

Dude it looks like you have a gotten SO much done??? The process is so cool to see in your color coded script aaaaah. I’m soooo excited about the cover. I really hope people aren’t assholes to the author cause like??? Artists have friends wow what a concept??? Other artists deserve love and support from cool artists?? 🤔🤔🤔🤔 Anyway thanks for the update!!! Keep up the awesome work!

MarzBarz

Are you serious? Grown ass adults harassing a friend of yours because you delegated a small amount of time to them instead of strangers on the internet. I’m freshly eighteen and know better. I’m so sorry you have to field those comments from those people.

Leah

They’re sooo pretty and the book covers you drew aswell !! You can be so proud of yourself 🩷🫶🏻

Tasya Shinra

It's incredible that there are people who harass your friends just because you spent more time with them, surely their gray matter went on sabbatical when they were born. That aside, YOU'RE AWESOME GATO!, do +800 placeholders on your own.... that's sick!, in a very good way :0✨️

witchilations

law looking beautiful as always...I hope you enjoy the autumn air!!! it's getting colder where I am and I'm desperately hoping it stays that way LOL

Nickitten uwu

Awwww law looks so pretty, AND WILLOW HIII KITTY AWWWW. :3

Maman

Oooh wonderful news as I'm hungover from a concert. Thank you Gato 💖

Alex_Da_Best

Lawrence looks so fed up with life but in a good way, you know? Btw the art is scrumptious as always (ps: hi willow!!!!!!)

Car

All the different Lawrence poses makes me really curious how it looks when advancing through the game. It already gives him so much character just from the screenshots. He’s a man that really shows his mood through his demenor. Lawrence wistfully reassuring us to relax with blood on his hands. I trust him tbh. Also the cold "you know what it is" lol like I know he has to be talking about whatever is in the mug but it's hilarious that he looks like he just woke up, made tea for himself and not for you, and is very disappointed about being awake.

Lady

I love this guy we need to kill him ………..every time lmaoo and chud willow omg lolol she’s just too cute!

Ashe

I BOUGHT THIS BOOK! The best thing I've ever read. I love Gregory and Sinclair so much. (Thanks for this recommendation Gato!) WE LOVE WILLOW!! (I eagerly await every YKMET update, I loved this one)

SpexTheShark

AHHHHH I GOTTA GET THE BOOK IM GOING FERAL- amazing work as always!!

Nor

Oh, they've already changed the book cover! That's so cool! I just bought it recently and am reading it little by little—I loooove it! I'm absolutely thrilled and keep begging my friends to read it with me, hehe Lawrence is brilliant as always!

LykWolf

MUNCH MUNCH TOEBEANS

Salina

I didn’t notice that either. Maybe MC’s drugged.

Szoller

Off topic but does blood taste like blood for Law or is he a different case because of him.. yknow.. rotting? Also,, I hope you are well Gato!!!

Gatobob

I’ve been on the internet for a long time and heard a lot of character questions but I think ‘how does his blood taste’ is actually a new one 😂 I think it’d be normal, because he’s not necessarily always rotting. He only rots while he’s dead, and his body tries to heal when he’s alive. Maybe it would taste wrong after hes been dead for a few hours? I can’t say I’d know 😂

Summer Rose

So sorry to hear that people are bothering your friend, it's so annoying that you have to remind fully grown adults to behave online like they're children. Can't wait to order the book next time I paid ❤️

Moth_Menace

Just bought the book again for the new cover! So excited!

Taheca

Goddamn, that's a lot! I appreciate you putting in so much work! I'm curious about that middle screenshot 👀 And now that I've seen another comment point it out, the crunchy sanity bar in the third one. I hope that 1% listens, you deserve to have people to connect with 💛 Willow! 😭 I love her

Mortimerina

My fave thing ever is when Lawrence gets all surprised, flustered, and totally confused, like in pic 1 omg!!! I hope the new game has moments like that 🌚 It was especially funny when he nervously yelled to his neighbor sorry for being loud LMAO 😹 You know, Lawrence is scary in a totally different way. Like, Strade almost always just pulls his dick out LMAO, but Law is creepy and unstable, and you honestly never know how to respond to him, because he could freak out and lose his mind even over something good I loooove Lawrence >:3🍂🪏🪾🦌🩶 Oh hell yes, now I can finally order the book with THAT cover! *rubs hands* (Car, if you happen to see this, thanks for the tip on stream about editing text. Like, do it after, not at the same time. That genuinely helped me a lot!😹) Have a great new week, Gato🩵

LALA

LIVE, LOVE, LAWRENCE

Mar

AAAAAAAAAH I'M SO EXCITED. I love how messy Lawrence looks when he's angry LOL

Mya

God I love him so muchhhhhh. I'm sorry about the 1%, wish people would be adults. You deserve friends I honestly can't wait to buy the book with the new cover art, it looks so beautiful!!!!

P4N1DA

Lawrence is looking so fine omgg !! I‘m buying the book with its new cover even though i alr have the old one… #need

nyok4t0 :3

Willow hates lawrence

cortaditaz

I'm really looking forward to the new game, you're putting in a lot of effort 🩷🩷 I hope I'm not bothering you, but if it's not too much trouble, could you give me a random fact about Derek? Please, and if you don't mind me asking questions about him, it's just that I really want to know more about him

Gatobob

Sorry, I prefer to keep all the canon about characters in the actual games rather than answering questions like that ^^;

peebsie

Hallo gato, hallo willow! I hope you’re having a great week! This is amazing progress, I hope you are having a great week 🫂❤️ I’m Real sorry about your friends getting harassed; toxicity entitlement on social media is something that needs to be studied more….its absurd how more rampant it’s getting. I don’t know why people project their ideals onto others and try to control or dictate their lives 😞 hope your friend gets something extra good luck wise happening to them soon, yeah? Take care, and thanks for the update! Excited for YKMET Lawerence 🙂‍↕️

Kiki

Lawrence should pour that scalding hot liquid all over me

file0sammy!

I want to make a game like your but I don't know how to code or what to make it on do you have any advice?

ROT

The new cover is looking SO good, I was actually waiting for your cover to buy it once I saw you were doing it! Also awww Willow looks so silly and sweet this week,

Gatobob

I started by downloading Renpy and checking out the tutorial it comes with 🤷‍♀️

Annepey775

OMGGGGGGG the placeholder sprites just keeps ballooning! My money is on 1245 being the final number! For no other reason than just because. Congrats on the LLD cover being complete! It looks beautiful and I can't wait to have both versions on my shelf! I'm sorry 1% of people are harrassing your friend! one percent is too many and I hope it becomes 0 ASAP. Also I'm not surprised that even when Willow is unphotogenic she is unapologetically incredible AND a mood. Just super lovely

file0sammy!

also, it's my birthday tomorrow can I please get a happy birthday? :]

BanditoBurrito

I got the new LLD on my shelf right meowww! I ordered it the second I saw your post that it was ready on Amazon. They fumbled and jumbled it into a box with no bubble wrap, but that's fiiiiiine... >_< Best things in life are a little damaged, as we all know. So, mwah! Hugs! Lots o' love, Gato and Willow and Lawrence! You are the bees! The whole bee. Not just the knees. 🐝

Gatobob

I noticed a bunch of people getting theirs slightly damaged from packing like that 😩stupid amazon, but you're right, and the most important part of the book is perfectly good [ the words! LMAO ]

Narwhal Panini

Keep up the good work!! :3 hopefully getting the rest of the place holders done is more fun then stressful cuz WOAH that’s a lot 😂

Pastel

Take care, Gato 🫶

ResidentReptile

it's from one of Lawrence's special brews that make your brain fizzle out of your ears

S0ULBL00D

Were the toe beans GOOD though? and woo Law!! ❤️

Alice

Oh LAWD she’s chomping on them beans. Having a bit of bean soup I see
