dev diary: treat bug collection (Patreon)

i tested all the way through treat complete!! it currently takes 4-5 hours to get up to the point in the story that i have scripted, so i expect the full game to be like 6+ hours..... wow!!!!!! (i am begging people not to tell me it's too short, I'M BEGGING)

i ran into a bunch of bugs along the way (so my playthrough was pretty disjointed oops) so i saved some of the ones that made me laugh. pictured above: didn't rename the parallax bg from the second game, so part 1 used the wrong file lol.

there were plenty of wrong warps that i forgot to fix. so characters often leapt way into the future and into odd places...

this is my favorite one. (HOLD ON TRICK IM GONNA GET U DOWN FROM THERE!!!)

and then there was the time i woke up as treat instead of moxie...

but enough bugs!! ...now actual bugs. butterflies!!!!!!

i made an insane amount of progress on part 7. i drew a ton of new tiles and scripted most of the next section of the game!! which means... i should be able to finish a WIP build friday!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

i'm hoping... HOPING.... i can keep up this momentum and release this to the public in august. that's a tentative guess!!!!!! it seems doable in my mind. i feel so bad that i was blocked on this game for literally 3 years, but i think i really just needed the time to focus on it without distraction. i'm happy i got to a place where i could do that!!!

playing through this whole game again made me go "wow, no wonder everyone keeps begging for the next part" lol. my girls are so charming... it's such a great vibe...... i'll keep improving it as much as i can while i finish the rest of the story. i recently figured out how i want the final scene of the game to go, so i can't wait to make that and share it with everyone.

thanks for loving treat with me! (sorry again for taking so long to get here...!)
