team of video game making fruits. we made Lookouts

Howdy, we're Marble Claws

We're a small team of queer creators making videogames. We made Lookouts, which also has a merch shop (currently closed but will be open again).

This blog is for us to post updates and announcements about Lookouts, as well as to show off all the amazing fanart people have made of our silly little videogame. You can see what we've reblogged all in one place in our fanart tag.

We also have asks open, so if you want to ask us any questions about Lookouts or its characters, please feel free. We love to hear from people about the game!

We might post something funny every so often too. No promises. You be the judge.

Hope to see you around, pardner.

Did Curly Wolf ever have a love interest? Boyfriend? Girlfriend? Some people might be into the mean bully I don't judge.

Oh there's definitely people who are into him.

In the fiction, I imagine he picked up women wherever he went and dropped them as soon as he left the next town. Not sure if I'd say he had a trail of broken hearts as such, more like a trail of ladies of the night cursing his name forever when he refuses to pay up. Definitely banned from a few brothels.

In the distant future will there be a possibility of a discord server (or any communication platform) being created?

Can't cope w the ending T~T would like to suffer w everyone else that loves the game too.

Thank you <3

An official discord is probably never going to happen, sorry. Running a server for even a small fanbase is actual work and we don't have the time or interest in taking on that responsibility as it stands. Sorry to disappoint!

Got my merch bundle in the post a few days ago and I'm so happy with it!! It's so awesome!!

It was weird seeing the return address being in the same city as me, I'm not used to stuff like this being so local. It's so fun!

Everything is so high quality and lovely to look at and feel, and I love the little drawing on the box it made me so happy :3

Lookouts' 4th Anniversary! Merch shop reopen, patch coming soon

Howdy everyone, been a bit! Happy trans day of visibility again, and happy 4th anniversary to Lookouts! We've got just a couple things for you folks (which is more than last year in fairness), so let's get to it.

Merch shop is now open again!

Sorry for the long wait on this one, we've had a few bumps in the road with new regulations and restocking and generally having busy lives, but it's back now! Everything is in stock besides the artbooks and the bundle (which includes an artbook), which are currently on preorder. Preorders are open till April 15th and we aim to ship by April 30th. Go get your swag, gang! -> https://marbleclaws.bigcartel.com/

(More info under the cut.)

New patch incoming

Work on it started too late for the anniversary but there's going to be a housekeeping patch/update coming up. This'll be upgrading the game to a more recent version of the engine, as well as migrating backend stuff to a new system and doing some UI clean up. No new content or anything, just keeping the game in tip-top shape for the foreseeable future.

Future projects

We've seen a little speculation on what/whether we are working on new projects, and unfortunately circumstances change, so any info we've given out before is probably outdated. As things currently stand we have no new projects being actively worked on. This may be disappointing to those who were looking forward to new work from us, and we are very humbled and grateful that's the case. Sadly making games takes a lot of time and money we don't have, and we're focused on our lives and jobs right now. We hope this might change sometime and we can work on new games, but for the time being we don't have anything to share. Sorry!

As always, thank you for all your incredible support over the years. We're very lucky Lookouts has grown to be what it is, and the game is still being discovered by so many people. Keep fighting, keep being loudly gay and trans and looking out for each other, and keep the fire in your heart burning so that no one may put it out.

VERY big fan and cried during this game, have/would you ever consider making plushies of our favorite queer icons?

We've discussed many a time the logistics of making any kind of 3D thing with these characters and the problems with it, because they are very designed for 2D and are resistant to being 3D. As far as plushies go though, no, it seems unlikely we'd do something like that, especially when almost all our merch is in-house.
