Honk! - A quicky update (Patreon)

Heyho(nk) everyone! Let's talk a bit about my plans for the immediate future. If you wouldn't think about it too much, it would be pretty simple. I begin working on a new Titans build and then the FET - Titans - FET - Titans circle of (perverted) life would continue again. BUUUUT, we're slowly starting to reach October and I usually take about a month to create something Halloween inspired for FET during that month.

If you don't know, go here: HUBPOST  and take a look at the spooky times standalone games. They're small games where I do something different.

Anyway, with my current schedule being derailed, I was trying to figure out what to do. Would I instead of my normal FET Halloween inspired one-month-build, do a 18Titans one? That could be fun and different, right? But I still have half of September! I don't want to take that long for a standalone mini-build. Then maybe... a normal build for Titans with a Halloween addition or something? Hmmm... I wasn't really making any sort of progress on making a decision.

 At first I wanted to add a poll with a lot of different options, but unless there would be a really ,reaaally clear outcome that would just worsen things. So instead... I'm going to postpone my decision and just do a normal Titans again for now. I'll see if I have enough time to do another standalone Halloween themed FET game again in October once it's October and a new Titans build is done. The best pone is postpone!

With that out of the way I can finally start working on a real new build again. I have already been working on builds of course, but currently just on the latest 1.1.0c FET build. I'm still getting small bug reports(thanks!) and have been taking my time to find and correct those. I want to release a d version in a few days.

Some of those bugs were caused by my new pen mouse! Well... by me of course, but because the pen mouse is top heavy and it's buttons are more difficult to press, I can (for example) accidentally drag folders in the wrong places. If I press a button on the side of the pen I push the pen to the side in its entirety and miss my mark. I haven't found a solution for that(I tried), but I HAVE found a solution for the pen mouse being top heavy.

At first i was using a fishing line with a counterweight(it was a really weird looking contraption) taped to the pen. That worked, but not super well so now I'm just using a ring with a hook, which works great! Ps, if you want to feel how awful it is to use a top heaving pen mouse, tape a battery to the end of your pencil and try to use that for a while!

I wouldn't say my hand is as good as it was before I managed to make it a bit fucky, but this is absolutely a major step to lessening my problems with it. I just have to remember to not overdo things. I'm still getting alternative mice too! It has become an addiction! You can see one of them in the top left corner on the pic above and I still have another one on its way.

As I was buying new/weird mice I also tried to order a spare for my other PEN! The drawing tablet one, but my drawing tablet is apparently too old so I had to go to find a second-hand one. You can never have enough spares of your favorite tool!

So that's about where things stand. I'll work on a new Titans build which will be ready in October, fix some more bugs and update the last early access version for FET in a couple of days and if I have enough time in October to do something special for Halloween like a new Spookytimes, I will.

And that's about it for now. Talk to you later!

Peace! Marty
