I fucking love this game

[id. A twitter post by @/Bennieeexyz Jury duty letter came addressed to my cat. Not a mistake. "Felix Martinez" - that's his full name according to his vet records. My last name. His first name. Somehow he's a registered voter now. Called the county clerk. Me: My cat got summoned for jury duty. Clerk: Is the name correct on the summons? Me: Yes, but he's a cat. Clerk: Is Felix Martinez a legal resident of this county? Me: He's a legal cat. Clerk: Sir, if the name matches our records, he needs to appear or file an exemption. Me: He can't file anything. He has paws. Clerk: You can file on his behalf. Me: Under what exemption? There's no box for "is a cat." Clerk: (pause) Check "unable to serve due to medical reasons." Me: What's the medical reason? Clerk: He's a cat. Me: That's not a medical condition. Clerk: It is if it prevents him from serving. Sent in the form. Got rejected two weeks later. "Insufficient documentation. Please provide medical professional's statement." Took the letter to my vet. Me: I need you to write that my cat can't do jury duty. Vet: Why is your cat summoned for jury duty? Me: Excellent question. No good answer. Vet: This is the weirdest request I've gotten. Me: Can you just write that he's medically unfit to serve? Vet: On what grounds? Me: He's a cat. Vet: (started typing) "Patient is unable to serve due to species-related limitations including inability to speak, read, or comprehend legal proceedings." Me: Perfect. Sent it in. Got another rejection. "Summons is mandatory. Failure to appear will result in contempt of court." My roommate thought this was hilarious. Roommate: Felix is going to jail. Me: This is serious. Roommate: Bring him to court. See what happens. Decided that was actually the only option left. Day of jury duty, put Felix in his carrier. Brought the entire paper trail of rejection letters. Checked in at the courthouse. Clerk: Name? Me: Felix Martinez. Clerk: (looked at the cat carrier) Is that Felix? Me: Yes. Clerk: (long stare) He's a cat. Me: I've been saying that for six weeks. Clerk: Why didn't you file an exemption? Me: I filed three. All rejected. Showed her the letters. She read through them, expression shifting from confusion to disbelief. Clerk: Someone rejected the veterinary documentation? Me: Twice. Clerk: (called her supervisor over) You need to see this. Supervisor read everything. Looked at Felix. Looked at me. Supervisor: How did a cat get registered to vote? Me: You tell me. Supervisor: This is a data error. Me: Took you six weeks to figure that out. They dismissed Felix immediately. Apologized for the inconvenience. Supervisor: We'll remove him from the voter registry. Me: Appreciate it. Supervisor: (pause) Out of curiosity, how would he have voted? Me: Probably whatever party supports universal treats. Got a formal apology letter a week later and a voter registration card. For me this time. Apparently I wasn't registered, but my cat was. Roommate: Felix committed voter fraud. Me: Felix committed nothing. He's innocent. Roommate: That's what they all say. Felix is sleeping on the jury summons now. Fitting end to his legal career. end id]

the japanese “-ne?” particle and the british slang term “innit” serve the same function

ichigo-kuriimu

Standard English: It’s cold, isn’t it?

Japanese: Samui desu ne?

British: It’s fuckin’ freezin’, innit?

ichigo-kuriimu

i have to do everything around here

notahorseindisguise

i hate this cause i did japanese for like a year and this explains the use of the -ne particle WAYYYY better than my teachers ever did. it took me ages to comprehend what this post makes abundantly clear.

my teachers: its like a, a little rise at the end of a sentence, to show that you are seeking a response, while not warranting the -ka particle which would make it a proper question.

me: ok. i guess i get that??

this post: its like saying “innit?”

me: oh. oh no.

wind-on-the-panes-deactivated20

fun fact: afaik, "-ne" was inherited from the Portuguese settlers/priests that stayed in Japan in the 16th century. It comes from "né?", which the contraction of "não é?", "isn't it?".

It's LITERALLY "innit".

Thought you should be made aware someone is creating the 3rd day and has published it

Well that's incredibly disrespectful. I'll try to look into this if there is something that needs to be done in regards to protecting Neko's copyright.

Suffice to say that is not authorized at all and that is... I'm a little appalled by the nerve and the balls on whomever is behind that.

If you're that shallow-hearted to think this is appropriate in any form, quite literally trying to rip the game's narrative and story away from the creator who is actively pouring hundreds of hours of his time into this, then I really would prefer you not be in the TFC community at all.

Edit/Addition: If anyone is familiar with this upload or where it was uploaded and can kindly request it to be taken down, I would appreciate it, I'd love to give someone the benefit of the doubt and hope that this is just a vast misunderstanding of what is appropriate for a fandom to create while an indie game is in active development.

Using my art... That's really disappointing

Hello Neko, I helped my friend Doggy with a fan continuation of the visual novel "The Freak Circus". We recently found out that our Telegram channel was sent to you. We would like to sincerely apologise to you. We made this project out of love for the game, but we forgot to credit you as the original author – that was our mistake. We did not intend to take credit for someone else's work, and we have already deleted the channel. We are truly sorry, and we hope you can forgive us. Thank you for your work and for the world you've created. We respect your creativity and will not make this mistake again. Thank you for your understanding. ❤️‍🩹

I understand that it can be difficult to get in touch with me for permission. I've been spending less time online lately while focusing heavily on every step of this update. In fact, just yesterday I was still working on the update until 10:30 PM, and this was one of the first things I saw when I finally stopped for the day, so I won't lie it left me with a bit of a bitter feeling.

That said, I'm not against fan games! And I definitely don't want any kind of witch hunt directed at anyone. I'm happy to see that there was no bad intention behind this.

Please understand that making fan games is completely fine, but it's important to respect the work of the original creators. Personally, I ask that my official artwork and sprites not be used. I also ask that fan games clearly credit the original game, clearly state that they are fan projects, and avoid titles that could be mistaken for official content. For example, a title such as "Day 3" could easily make people think it is an official continuation. Something like "Headcanon," "Fan Story," or another label that makes it clear it is a fan-made project would help avoid confusion!

Unfortunately, when people don't realize something is a fan game, I'm often the one who receives, complaints, or confusion about it... And since The Freak Circus is a free game, I would also appreciate fan games remaining free as well.

I truly appreciate the concern shown and the apology that was offered. I don't think the game needs to be deleted. I simply ask that these details be handled more carefully in the future.

Those small considerations are what make a creator look at a fan project and see something made with love, while also feeling that their work and boundaries are being respected.

Straights can come to the sexuality festival because at least they also have sex. Asexuals cannot come.

New stupid opinion just dropped, you may only attend the civil rights event if you arrive on site riding an enthusiastically consenting second party like a horse at the Kenfucky Derby

Did you guys forget about this one?

Because...here's the final!!! 😭😭😭 FINALLYYYYY

I struggled with the coloring because I'm not used to dark atmospheres or something like that in animation. Still feel like it could be better, but I'll definitely do better next time!

Current progress on this. Still need to do final shading and highlights and all that.

@nekoboydreams , please come get him away from me. I have other art things to do, but he won’t let me (said affectionately).

Have some in progress shots of this. As a treat? I dunno. I’m just stupid proud of this. Gosh I adore him. 😓

Mini update before AMA

About Google Play

Yes, I am aware that someone unfortunately stole my game, modified it, and uploaded it to Google Play to profit from it. They have also made it accessible to younger audiences, which is both disappointing and disrespectful. I am currently following Google's removal process, but unfortunately it is quite slow. In the meantime, I ask everyone not to access or download the app. Every visit and download generates visibility and revenue for the people responsible for this unauthorized upload.

This situation is incredibly disappointing and stressful, and resolving it will remain one of my top priorities alongside the game's development.

About the update

I'd also like to share some exciting news the script for this update is now completely finished!

At the moment, I'm focusing on fixing the code and cleaning up the remaining minor bugs before I begin implementing everything. Below you'll find a flowchart showing just how big this update is going to be. I always love giving players lots of different possibilities, and as a result the game's routes keep growing larger and larger haha! And yes! its blur x3

Wasn’t even meaning to draw anything. Was cleaning my table from my last art project, picked up a sketchbook and pencil, then *poof* surprise Jester. 😅 He really does keep at least 60% of my brain power on him at all times.
