YO YO! Here's what we've been up to this month!Starting with a Word from Vixel!1/24 weekly report:Heya floofs! Last week I reviewed almost all the Act 2 scripts I brought over in the prior update, and made about five-dozen of them compatible with the upgrade project's new designs. There's another full week ahead of the same kinda work! :VStuff I've made compatible so far:- Most menus and user interfaces, game options, progress unlocks.- Any scripts that need to store or read data from the savestate.- Scripts that interact wi...

Last week I crunched to close the gap on our Upgrade project and got us closer to resuming monthly builds.The good news is that the whole game lives in the Upgrade project now! *partyfox* I finished importing all the remaining code and assets from the Act 2 project, and have been working to adapt the old code to use the improved scripts.The bad news is I underestimated how much old code needs to ...

Yo folks! Hope y'all are doing well!Let's start off with a Word from Vixel!1/10 weekly report:Hello all! <3 I hope you're having a nice January! :}Last week I almost finished the Quest Manager redesign (it's about 90% now!) and divided a bunch of scripts into more manageable pieces. I wrote about 1000 lines of new code, and reviewed & modified another 3200 lines.I added a new service to help prioritize which dialogue to play when you use the Talk interact on a critter. There's a bunch of rules that dictate whether a critter ...

Yo folks!Here's what we've been up to this week, Starting with a Word from Vixel!12/20 weekly report:Heya floofs! Merry Christmas to you and yours! ^w^ <3I've been doing more boring under-the-hood work improving old workflows and designs!If you recall, the prior week I was breaking complex objects into the smallest possible pieces, which can then be programmed, combined or toggled on and off as needed - giving us extra flexibility in scene design and making scenes easier to maintain. Scarlett's garden for example is made of six ...
December Exclusive Patreon Poll!
OK! I'm writing up a fun lil holiday themed gossip/sequence!

This Week in the Forest! #56 (Holiday Edition!)
Yo folks! Sorry for the late post! Enjoy some 3D shiz I was messing with a bit ago! Yurusa, Arsemaus and I made this Duchess model a few months ago. Similar process to my bunny, I sculpted her, Arsemaus retopo'd and Yurusa did the base rig/weighting. I do the texture and whatever additional weighting/rig stuff!This was one of the first times I've set up an actual scene with props! KINDA COOL, but also super laggy and a huge pain to work with lmao. All of these props were nabbed from Blender Kit's addon. It's a thing you can subs...

Yo Folks!Here's what we've been up to this week, starting with A Word from Vixel!12/06 weekly report:Last week I worked on some code design improvements! These are focused on Object Spawning and Save/Load. Also pushed another bugfix update to the Act 2 official build, this time fixing a bug with the Dustin minigame causing Novice mode to appear too early.In the old code, there was a 'Master Spawner' that would check quests and triggers to decide which critters, props, cutscenes and more, to spawn when you walked into a scene lik...

FUUUUUQ Bros, my eyeballs are sore lmao. Had the surgery liiiike 17 hours ago.

YO FOLKS~! oh FUQ September is coming to a close :O!Here's what we've been up to!Starting with a Word From Vixel!9/27 weekly report:Heya floofs!! Last week I made a breakthrough in what was causing the elusive Finley Shearing softlock and the no-dialogue fish encounter for some players. The bug happens when highlighting Gossip in the interaction menu and walking away from a critter - if the interaction menu stays hidden until the next conversation plays, it breaks the automatic dialogue because the interaction scripts still think you st...

This one is a bit more complex than other dates and includes two sets of illustrations and a new gossip dialogue as well. Still need to connect this to the start menu Gallery and then i...

Last week I spent time offline to put out some life-side fires. On the TFOL side I'm still working down the list of leftover Act 2 todos and bugfixes to get us ready for our public build.

This Week in the Forest! #44
YO FOLKS~! Looks like another week's past! Let's start off with A Word from Vixel!9/6 weekly report:Last week I started by crunching to fix some critical bugs in our latest monthly builds. There was an issue in the Dustin Dash Challenge minigame causing the whole app to suddenly and randomly crash without an error message! :O This crash was very difficult to debug and involved analyzing the app's machine code (the instructions to the CPU to reserve RAM, jump between functions, etc) to figure out what was going wrong, since the error...
