Well, kids, here it is - finally!!!
I know I promised this on Friday but unfortunately exporting the game caused a bunch of new issues to work through and I've spent the last couple days making sure everything is back to working as intended.
Hopefully I've found almost eve...
2022-02-28 19:23:04 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, first things first - it's coming!! As in real soon (hopefully Friday). I've done sooo much work since my last post it's insane. And there's a few juicy surprises for you all I promise! The game is feeling so much more fleshed out and there's a ton of fun stuff to do (at least in my...
2022-02-23 17:53:10 +0000 UTC View PostHey hey!! Obviously I'd love this post to be the one that says 'here's the new version - go wild!' but I'm afraid that day is still a couple weeks away.
That said, I've made SO MUCH progress this month it's insane. It's been so so amazing to be able to treat this as my main focus for ...
2022-01-28 22:14:14 +0000 UTC View PostHey all, I'm back again to tell you where I'm at with Girl Games! First up, before we get into it, I'm gonna start off by saying that I'm pausing billing again this month - hopefully for the last time. But 10 days of Covid, plus a bunch of other work, meant that I didn't get as far with ...
2021-12-23 15:34:47 +0000 UTC View PostSo since the test build I've been doing some serious 'refactoring' of my code - meaning I've not simply been ironing out the bugs but instead going back and making the whole thing a whole lot more smoothly - so that such things don't appear in the first place.
I'm not sure how much or...
2021-11-18 15:39:02 +0000 UTC View PostWell, that didn't exactly go smoothly, did it? Obviously I knew there'd be some bugs and glitches but I wasn't quite prepared for just how many - and the one that really broke my heart was that the damn characters and foreground images were missing!
You'll be glad to know ...
2021-10-04 12:41:53 +0000 UTC View PostSo I dug into the main initial issue - the character images not showing and I've got it working on the web version! There might still be a few issues with choices not showing up but maybe this is all working now? I'm going to play through myself start to finish to make sure and might update again...
2021-10-03 12:57:55 +0000 UTC View PostThank you all so much for your feedback so far - I'm already working hard on trying to sort out a number of issues and whatnot and will update you all with a newer version very soon!
Here's what the game should have already: full content for the Heather route all the way up t...
2021-10-03 11:12:20 +0000 UTC View Post[EDIT: Unless you're super curious and impatient to see the game, I'd say hold off on even downloading/playing this version as it turns out there's a bunch of bugs and whatnot that make it quite a strange and unplayable experience right now (missing options, missing character images, etc). I'm wo...
2021-10-02 16:42:35 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, so I said first of the month but seriously, I've had five hours sleep, I'm putting finishing touches to this thing like a mad woman and I just want to wake up tomorrow with a fresh head and make sure it's all as perfect as can possibly be before I share it with you.
Plus I need ...
2021-10-01 18:13:17 +0000 UTC View PostSo as I mentioned in my last post - BILLING IS BACK ON, meaning come tomorrow you will be debited whatever your monthly pledge is. But the reason I'm finally turning it back on is because I have something new to share with you finally!! I'm so so so excited and pleased and proud ...
2021-09-30 21:27:10 +0000 UTC View PostI'm super excited to announce that I'm getting close to sharing a playable version with you all! And once I'm ready that also means I'll be turning billing back on - most likely toward the end of this month.
Which means that, come October 1st, you'll be debited for whatever tier pledg...
2021-09-17 17:34:45 +0000 UTC View PostI'm gonna keep this post pretty short and to the point, but I thought I'd better fill you in on the latest developments! As some of you may have noticed, this montly status update is coming much later in the month than usual, and I have to admit, that was in part because I've been workin...
2021-07-29 14:55:17 +0000 UTC View PostHey again! By now we all know how this goes, right? First I tell you that I've STILL not finished the first main (Heather) storyline, which means the game is still not ready to share, and then I soften the blow by letting you know that you haven't been billed this month.
And ... yep. ...
2021-06-09 18:11:35 +0000 UTC View PostHey kids, it's that time again ... where I tell you that I'm pausing billing for another month. But you all knew that was coming right? If I learnt one thing from the previous iterations of Girl Games, it was that hurrying this thing and putting out a version when it wasn't totally ready...
2021-04-30 20:37:39 +0000 UTC View PostSo do you want the good news, or the bad news?
What's that? You want the bad news first?
Alrighty then. I guess we'll just get it out of the way: I'm still not done writing all the text and plotting out the main story arcs - which means the game ...
2021-03-31 18:32:42 +0000 UTC View PostLadies and gentlemen, for your enjoyment, I proudly present ... the wardrobe system (again). If you read the last post, then you'll know what this is about, and if you didn't then I suggest you go read it!
But in short, this is the new inventory and paperdoll system I have set up in G...
2021-03-01 18:23:33 +0000 UTC View PostWell kids, it's that time again. And this time around I've actually got some pretty exciting news. But before we get into all that, first off I'm letting you know that I'm pausing billing again (meaning that you won't be getting charged for your patronage come March 1st).
That said, a...
2021-02-28 18:58:06 +0000 UTC View PostHey Kitties! Hope you're all doing well! I'm back again with a little status update to let you all know where I'm at with Girl Games. But before we get into all that, first thing I should say is: I'm pausing billing for another month. Meaning, you won't be charged a dime on February 1st ...
2021-01-26 21:53:15 +0000 UTC View PostHappy New Year all! You wanna know what my resolution is this year? To get this damn game finished!
To that end, I've been working hard on what I wrote about in my last post - getting a very bare bones but complete main story arc plotted out in Twine. It's not quite ...
2020-12-31 18:40:31 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, first things first, I'm finally releasing the public build of Version 0.3.2 - in other words 'Chapter One' of this Ren'py version. That said, I'm afraid to report that things might be changing ... again.
But before we get onto that, I'd better give anyone that hasn't...
2020-11-20 15:17:46 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, so it's happened AGAIN. Somehow a whole 'nother month has zoomed by and what do I have to show for it? Well, actually, this time around I do have something!!!
It took a little longer than expected (due to a few real life hiccups that I don't wanna bore you with), but the long...
2020-09-30 19:54:16 +0000 UTC View PostThings this month didn't exactly go to plan. While I did get some more work done on the new Girl Games update (and plan to have it with y'all very soon - it's like 75% complete), I haven't managed to totally finish it it by the end of this month, which means: I'm pausing the billing ...
2020-08-31 14:22:27 +0000 UTC View PostSo here's the deal. You guys are paying for this, right? You're giving your hard-earned money, each month, to help support me in making this game. And obviously I'm so so grateful for that!
Well, I also made a promise to myself, and I guess by extention to you too, t...
2020-07-30 15:58:05 +0000 UTC View PostWell, you'd better decide which clique to pick, because that's one of the new dilemmas that'll be facing you in Version 0.32 of Girl Games - aka 'Chapter One'! I'm currently re-working the classroom stuff to make it way more interesting, with each day offering a little something new ... There'll ...
2020-07-24 21:10:22 +0000 UTC View PostWell, as I was predicting, the all new Ren'py version was met with a mixed response. I wish wish wish I had even more time to work on this game - my dream would be to do it full time - and to just be able to wave a magic wand and transfer everything from the old Twine version over to the new vers...
2020-07-03 10:51:35 +0000 UTC View PostGirl Games Version 0.3.1. is out now! Here are the relevant links:
The 'Play Online' version is here. [Note: this may not work on your browser; it's a little different to Twine ...]
You know what? I should be banned from making promises. Seriously. All those times I've said, "I should have the next version out in a couple days" and then you don't hear anything for like a week (or more). You see, the thing is, when I say that stuff I really mean it. I'm an optimist a...
2020-06-25 18:20:28 +0000 UTC View PostSo about the player art ... I promise I wont get my feelings hurt if you tell me to get a pro in! I'm a writer, not an artist and I want this game to play (and look) it's best. So please, don't hold back! And feel free to vote on more than one option too! :)
2020-06-20 19:28:38 +0000 UTC View PostHey kids, hope you're all doing well. Thought it was about time I checked in again and let you know how things are shaping up. I'd have posted sooner but I wanted something tangible to share and for the last however-many days I've been elbow deep in a puzzle - namely how to transfer the wardrobe ...
