Crazy Times

Hey

It's me, Tabloonny

Back from the grave.

Refusing to stay in there.

It's been a minute. I took some time off these past 2ish months. Went on a lil trip. Played some games. You know. A break.

Did some of the usual. Working, writing, drawing, etc, etc.

But mos...

I make post

I write post

:)

This is gonna be a short one

As per usual I work on the Statues game

The writing and the images and the booties and the boobies

Ok maybe too short

Let's add some filler and talk about something I've been debating.

Giving names to th...

1.0 Expectations

Hey :)

We meet again.

Let's chat for a bit.

As usual I've been working on Statues. Slowly chipping away.

But what is the end goal? Why are we chipping? Well, I'm glad you asked.

In today's episode of What am I doing with my life... We'll answer these questions and mo...

Yep

:)

Hey

Super quick check in

Basically done with the "Planning" stage. Moving on to actual production. Turning placeholders into... Permanentholders? Making some entirely new assets and whatnot.

I got a pretty clear vision of what the final version should look like, it's g...

Here we go again

Yo!

Quick check in

Not a ton to report yet. Almost "finished" with the planning stage and the behind the scenes eventing, variables, switches, etc.

Hmmm yep.

Bye bye cya next time :)

2024

Hey :)

It's me

I've been working on Statues 1.0

Yep

It's been a minute since the last post.

I needed to "realign" myself after the release of TTPP v0.2 and the understandably lukewarm reception.

I wanted to take a step back from all the social media stuff.

Update v0.2

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand there it is.

It's finally uploaded! wooooo!

What a ride. Anyways. Me tired. Me sleep now.

I'll make a post release post this Sunday. Probabl...

done

it done.

It is.

Finally

Finished.

Hoooly that took a while.

Official unmovable release date:

Friday 6th September 2024. Not sure what hour though.

After last post I decided to change an entire scene and then I ended up making small ch...

Final FINAL stretch!

Just a quick check in before the final push!

I've made a good amount of progress this past month-ish and it's extremely close to being finished. But there's still a few things that need doing.

Right now I'm finishing up the scenes, sfx, polishing the animations, etc. That should be do...

Final stretch!

Woooooooooo still alive!

Survived 2 different plagues. Bronchitis and some mysterious debilitating full body pain that came and went in a day. Still don't know what that was. Very cool. Might be dying. Oh well.

Anyways let's talk business.

Thankfully things have been progressing...

Still Alive.

I've been getting a little too lax with my ¨weekly posts¨. I'll try to be a bit more consistent moving forward, at the very least biweekly. Honestly making posts and social media in general doesn't interest me very much.

Anyways, part of the reason why this one has been so delayed is beca...

Foundation

In today's episode of what am I doing with my life!

It's been a little while so let's see.

I more or less remade the main character. Reworked his walk animations, changed the way the lighter animation works, added the flashlight, added the long awaited sprint function. P...

Neighboorhood

Aaaaaaaaaand that's the rest of the map "done" (With a few missing things)

There may be a few more locations in the future but this'll be the main area where most of the game takes place.

Hmmmmm. With that done I can now focus on the actual story/game. Very excited to be fi...

Another House

Hey.

Hi.

It's been a while.

Let's have a talk.

I'm almost done moving. 1 or 2 more weeks. Pain.

On the game dev front. I've been modeling MC's house. (While also keeping everything very modular to make the rest of the neighborhood)

Don't k...

The Great 2023 Retrospective, Unreal Engine, TTPP, The Present and The Future.

Damn what a tittle.

This might be a long post. If it's not I'll delete this part and nobody will know. (It's long)

Before we begin, I hope you all had a great end of the year and wish you an amazing 2024.

2023 was an overall fantastic year for me. Learned a lot of new...

IT'S OUT!

https://taboossy.itch.io/ttpp

Go play it!

There's a massive thunderstorm literally happening right now. So I'm keeping it super short!. Happy holidays I'll be back. Lemme know if anything breaks

Release date! (For the TTPP demo)

Aaaaaaaaaaaalright, I know I went radio silent for a while there but it's been a crazy month.

Anyways drum roll please! December 22! Probably, maybe 23.

I want to release this demo before the end of the year because I'm going to be extra busy during Jan/Feb. And it sound fun to make t...

Steam!

My little babies (Gross disgusting degenerate babies) are on steam!

Wishlist them! That's an order... A humble request... Ok fine, I'm on my knees begging...

Apparently having thousands of wishlists helps a lot with visibility and exposure. Fingers crossed I get that many.  

So very close

But it's not going to be ready this month sadly, I really wanted to release it in October but oh well. 

A lot of little things left to do.

Most of the audio, settings, credits, packaging, setting up the itch page, steam page, the N95 page.

November it is! Almost ...

Quick Post

The spookiest of months is upon us!

PPTT's demo should be done towards the end of the month. Probably. Most likely. Fingers crossed.

I'll work for a couple more weeks before giving a proper date. 

For now I won't be showing much more about the game. Don't wanna s...

Even Spookier

The furnishing and texturing is about 80% done.

Next few weeks I'm going to focus on putting everything together. Actually finishing things that I've been leaving almost finished.

And start working on the various animations. The good stuff.

That's all. Post over. Bye.

Very Spooky

A couple of shots with the models in there. 

Most likely not the final versions but getting closer. I'm still figuring out baking textures, rigging and topology. All complex topics but I'm getting better at it. Also their overall design. I might've made MC a bit too short. Around 5' or...

Progress

This is a little awkward. I'm not really sure where I can post videos to embed on Patreon. Vimeo, youtube, etc are all no nudity. And twitter now forces you to have an account to view posts. Cringe.

Still I'll leave these two links.

Underwhelming

I was really hoping to make a fun happy post. But it is what it is.

Uploading the game to steam has been rather challenging. 

Every time I submit the store page it takes 3-4 days to get a response. So far I've gotten two negative responses. (Just to be safe I won't share screensh...

It's official now. I'm a full blown internet man. There's no going back.

It's also free and public for now.

I wanted to set it up before steam.

Speaking of ste...

Another tittle

Good news: I'm officially a steam partner.

Bad news: I've been bombarded with work these past few weeks.

Good news: The steam release should happen this month.

So yeah to keep it short, I've been focusing solely on Statues. Next week I'll be working on setting up the ...

Title

Yep.

With this somewhat functional model finished I'm going to start working with Unreal. Finally. 

This isn't the final model for PPTT it was mostly to learn topology, animation, blender, etc. I'll eventually make the actual ghost model but should be quicker and better.

St...

Let's face it

Faces are hard. 

If one little thing is wrong the whole thing falls apart.

I don't think anyone will be surprised when I say I've been avoiding faces since I started drawing.

I though about sharing my old sketches. But those are simply too horrifying to share publicly. Mayb...

Topology

Is a pain in the ass.

The images show the difference between clean topology deformation and dirty topology deformation. More noticeable around the joints. 

Clean topo is mandatory for animation. 

It's one of those things that the more you do it the better you get at it...

More blending

Hi :>

This week: Rigging and animation. 

Next up making a proper game ready mesh. After that I'll start working on the Ghost.

I've also been working on Statues. Mostly outlining the rest of the story and figuring out how the events should work.

Bye :)
