Phew! I feel like it's been forever since I made one of these posts. I can't believe y'all stuck around so long!
This release includes MOST of Friday. I haven't finished the evening scenes back at Amelia's house, so it ends right before that. It's mostly linear excep...

Part of my re-emergence as someone who actually produces things (fingers crossed!), is that I've started drawing every day. To be fair this is a lot easier in quarantine land, when my work computer and my art computer are two feet from each other instead of a dozen miles and a 45 minute com...
2020-04-25 18:19:45 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! I feel like all I've been hearing these days is bad news and worse news, so I thought I'd brighten everyone's day a little by sharing some good news!
I've been hard at work on The Weekend v2, and I'm excited to announce I'll be putting the first alpha release up this mon...

Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of updates lately. Thanks for sticking around!
Basically what's happened is that despite my continuing will to work on The Weekend, I've hit the point where the stupid Twine editor is too much of a hassle to overcome with the limited time and energy I ...
2019-10-03 02:20:23 +0000 UTC View PostStill chugging away! This update has some new passages after escaping the ballroom with Anna...and meeting an unexpected rescuer.

Surprise! This is a small update that has a bit more content for escaping the ball with Anna.
I took an unexpected break due to some real-life stuff (don't worry, nothing bad) that ended up lasting longer than I would've liked. I probably should've said something here, but I kep...
2019-05-31 02:19:46 +0000 UTC View PostSmall update with the post-yacht scenes reworked. It's quite a bit different than the other branches, so if you have any feedback let me know!

2019-02-28 14:19:47 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, sorry for the long period of radio silence. I've had some changes at work and at home that have seriously cut back on my game dev time, so unfortunately I don't have that big update ready I was hoping to deliver by now. But nothing is in hiatus or cancelled, just slowed ...

We aim to give everybody something to enjoy here at, uh, Tufty Games...Studios(?), so here's a picture of Casey post-transformation celebrating the new year in...some fashion. I'll leave it up to you guys to come up with the story behind this one ;)
In less sexy news, I've failed in m...

I was doing some, er, "research" on drawing Tim and I thought some of you guys might appreciate it. He is clearly concentrating very hard.
I'm terrible at chibis by the way.
2018-12-16 18:06:59 +0000 UTC View PostI really meant to get this out last week, but here it is now. This release continues the branch of escaping the yacht with Paulo.

2018-12-08 02:39:12 +0000 UTC View PostThis update has more Saturday night content for after Rosa's island across all branches (whether you went with Tobias, Sophie, Hayden, and/or Amelia). Including some sexy stuff ;)
Like I said previously, I may do another release later this month (probably focusing on the yacht path), time wi...
2018-11-10 18:48:04 +0000 UTC View PostAs I get closer and closer to finishing The Weekend, I've started to think about future projects, and specifically how I want to approach them development-wise. I've learned a ton working on The Weekend (and Thin Walls, too), and although I appreciate the benefits of Twine (and Sugarcube espec...
2018-11-08 23:55:27 +0000 UTC View PostLooks like I'm going to miss this month's release. I've got some new content for The Weekend, but it needs a little more work before I'm comfortable putting it out there.
I will likely do a release early in November, though (probably within the first week). I may even end up doing two ...
2018-10-31 17:24:48 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys, smaller but significant update here. This one has a bit more after the island if you went there with Amelia and Francis, as well as some new illustrations (if I remember correctly).
I wanted to get more in to this version but I'm at the point where I really want to release a public...
2018-09-18 20:30:35 +0000 UTC View PostI've made a little progress this month, but the post-island scenes are proving to be really tricky to get right. I've scrapped a rewrote things several times and I feel like I'm finally on the right track, but I don't feel good about charging you guys for such a small amount of new content.
...
2018-08-28 17:31:26 +0000 UTC View PostLet's break tradition and do a release before the last day of the month this time, shall we? This version has quite a bit more in the yacht path and more content after Rosa if you went to the island with Tobias and/or Sophie.
I'm going to do a public release soon with this content and maybe ...
2018-07-24 23:04:53 +0000 UTC View PostReally sneaking this one in at the last possible second, but I promised an update so here it is. Also my webhost decided to shit the bed when I was uploading this, so I blame that on the lateness! But to be fair I didn't quite finish everything I wanted to, but there's a decent chunk of ...
2018-07-01 02:59:23 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, sorry that I've kinda dropped off the face of the earth lately. Due to a combination of factors my writing time has basically dropped to historic lows, but I'm still trying my hardest to get a new version out before the end of the month. It just might not have everythin...
2018-06-26 00:12:03 +0000 UTC View PostLooking at what I've finished so far this month I don't think it'd be fair to do a paid release, so I'm going to hold off and give you guys a proper update next month. I hate when this happens! But unfortunately I haven't had enough writing time lately.
Thanks for sticking with me!
2018-05-24 20:08:08 +0000 UTC View PostWith the latest release I thought I'd do a quick(ish) summary of where I'm at, development-wise, for The Weekend. This is going to be super spoiler-heavy, and is a bit of a peek behind the curtain! So if you have any illusions that I'm a genius and have any idea what I'm doing, you might...
2018-04-30 16:00:40 +0000 UTC View PostAnd so it continues! As I mentioned before, this release contains the resolution to meeting Rosa on the island. If you want to playtest, remember that you can get to this scene from several different ways, and it will go a bit differently depending on what happened previously in your gam...
2018-04-27 16:18:50 +0000 UTC View PostI just wrote a passage where Casey changes back to male. To be honest, I never thought this day would come!
2018-04-20 23:04:31 +0000 UTC View PostJust a quick note to let you guys know that an update for The Weekend is on the way soon. It'll include the resolution for the confrontation with Rosa.
Side note, I'm curious if anybody has anything more they'd like to see from me, update-wise. I tend to avoid posting things here unles...
2018-04-14 20:36:30 +0000 UTC View PostHere's the latest. This version is not super exciting for readers, but it does get us closer to exciting things. Basically, I've tied all the paths that end up on Rosa's island together. Which is super relieving to me, since I have way less loose ends to worry about. ...
2018-03-27 17:49:36 +0000 UTC View PostI've usually got a few other game ideas tumbling around in my head, and today I thought I'd share one with you guys. Unlike Sitter, this one is purely in the planning stages: no coding yet. The title is obviously a placeholder, if anyone has a better one let me know!
Protagonis...
2018-03-09 01:50:18 +0000 UTC View PostI'm squeaking this update in under the wire :)
I've got a new version of The Weekend and Thin Walls. Not a ton of new stuff, but there's a the beginnings of the path where Casey leaves the party with Tobias and Sophie and an option for Casey to refuse to go the island with Amelia in...
2018-03-01 02:02:53 +0000 UTC View PostHi lovelies! Note that this post is public and contains some pretty spoilery talk for The Weekend, so if you want to be surprised you can skip this one. TLDR: Planning on one paid update to The Weekend this month.
I've been thinking about what to tackle next, I and I think it's time to...
2018-02-04 18:38:44 +0000 UTC View PostWell this one ended up a little different than what I'd planned. But in a good way!
This version does include the (halfway) conclusion of all the beach content. However, it also has more beyond that for paths where Casey is attempting to change back, and also the shipwreck (you'll see ...
2018-01-16 13:57:28 +0000 UTC View PostHappy new year everyone! I hope your 2018 is going amazing so far :)
I've got a new update for The Weekend planned for this month. It will include the rest of the paths for the conclusion of the island with Hayden, Amelia, and Francis up until somebody goes into the water. It wil...
