Hello again folks! I'm a bit low energy today from another complicated week, but I still have some stuff to show you guys!

Image Finalization Progress: 410/743 | 55%

This update is a bit low on sprites again, I'm sorry about this ^^; I had more appointments and reno stuff to deal with last week. I have more next week as well. I also got a 'fun' little surprise from the tax agency and that caused a little panic attack but I think I've managed to handle it. Universe above and below, deliver me from emails and phone calls.

I won't get too much into it though because I don't want to spend all of my updates complaining about my personal life.

Let's talk sprites instead!

Last week I completed 3 small sets of sprites [ when I say 'set', I'm usually referring to one base with different expression variants ]. I can show you examples of two of them but the other one is too spoilery.

First was another Ren! [ Strade's there too but I drew that sprite earlier ]:

The other set I did is a 'larger than screen' sprite, I use these when I want to move the camera around:

MC's legs are pretty hard to see in the gif [ and the game tbh ] so I might tweak visuals later. I plan to make some changes in how the background behaves later though so I think I should do that first and see what effect it has.

All that will happen during the music editing pass I think. For now, I'm going to keep concentrating on finalizing sprites because it's honestly all I can mentally handle during this part of my life 😂

I think that's about all I have!

Stay safe and try to get some summer fun in- see you next week!

man I really love these updates 🥹 and I would like to ask a question Gato, I don't intend it to sound weird, but does MC in YKMET have a certain gender? I remember in TPOF you could choose pronouns, but I guess in this one they won't be available. does it mean that the gender of MC is not specific and up to the player's imagination?

Yup! That's exactly right. I've written the script in a similar way as my original BTD paths, where the gender of MC [ and most physical characteristics ] are left up to the imagination. The only reason there's no pronoun selection screen this time is because those are only used verbally when a character is talking about you to another character, and that just doesn't come up often enough for me to bother programming the system for it [ ren and strade very rarely appear together ]

Hey Gato. I just wanted to let you know after the Etsy no longer supporting adult content thing that there is a market site for adult content creators that allow those products etc to be sold by independent artists and crafters. Its called Spicerack.market if you'd like to see.

I've heard of Spicerack and it's definitely on my radar for if I need to switch shops 👍
