Hi everyone, long time no see. I thought Iโd give an update on shroom soup as well as some other projects Iโve mentioned and also not mentioned before.
But firstly: I changed my username here and on itch!
toxicshroomswamp -> shroomy-games. Donโt worry, itโs all me. Iโve been thinking for a while that my username is too long and not very dyslexia-friendly, hopefully this is better.
shroom soup - main project, active, probably like 2/3 done overall?? (Donโt quote me.) Everything I am working on is spoilers, so I donโt know what to show you. Hereโs some flowers.
Glitter or Gangrene? - new project, a short game I am making with my friend. It is currently distracting me from shroom soup, but unlike shroom soup it is actually small and finishable. Iโm trying out a new style and having lots of fun making it!ย
Evolve with Me (trans romance visual novel) - cancelled for personal reasons. I might post some concepts from it later. I am annoyed because it had potential to be something great, but oh well. Maybe Iโll uncancel or remake it into something else one day, but Iโm not sure.
Blergh-chanโs Adventure in the Land of Worms - on hold indefinitely because Iโm not entirely happy with the narrative + want to finish other things first.
Functional Alcoholism - another project I didnโt mention before, based on an old comic I drew as a uni fresher. It has a script, which Iโll likely read, hate and rewrite in a new monthsโ time. I probably wonโt touch it before finishing other things, but in the future it might happen. Fun fact: there is already merch for it, as modelled above by S. from the cancelled project, because I felt like drawing something and putting it on a T-shirt. :D
Other stuff - exists as scripts or just ideas, but currently irrelevant.
As you can see, I am quite good at starting things, but terrible at finishing them. However, I think I am a fairly determined person, doing thingsย ใใคใใผใน (at my own pace), but doing them nevertheless.
Hereโs a character from Glitter or Gangrene! I loooove fairy kei, so designing her was like a guilty pleasure, hehe.
Re: shroom soup, pixel art is taking forever and a bit, which is probably a major reason gamedev is sloooow. I have to make a lot of it. :โD Other than that, there is the final area, which I have started mapping, but am a bit stuck on how to make it cool. Iโll try to properly brainstorm it once Iโm distracted enough from GoG. :D
โTill then, stay safe and healthy,
