tricky and the dream caster out of context
Will Dreamcast controllers work on tricky?
yes! via a raphnet dreamcast to USB adapter
How did you find and the casted the people to voice your characters?
I put out casting calls on Twitter (before I deleted my account) and Bluesky, which got spread around in VA circles. After auditions closed I kinda just listened to them all and picked whoever I felt matched the voices I had for everyone in my head best.
When did tricky started development?
January 2024! I spent the first year of development prototyping and putting together the proof-of-concept that became the SAGE 2024 demo, and ever since then it's just been nothing but adding new content and refining what I already had in place.
ask me things about the game. i will answer

New build is up on Steam, separate from the October Monthly beta. Mostly just a hotfix for various issues from the SAGE demo as well as updating to a new version of Unity to address the recent security issue.
Linked post is the changelog for this build, available for all patrons with beta access.
help me quit my job!
this is my game, tricky and the dream caster! it's a collectathon that takes visual inspiration from the dreamcast, about a guy who gets cursed by a dream wizard so he sets out to kick his ass!
i'm currently stuck at a low-paying grocery store job (as in, only 40 cents above minimum wage and averaging around 20 hours a week) and i've been unsuccessful at even landing interviews the entire year i've worked there. i'm very quickly running out of options as i can't work customer-facing jobs any more and that's kinda all that's available within a 15 mile radius.
where does my game factor in on this? i have a patreon!
i'd love to work on tricky full time without having to worry about having my basic needs met and without having to constantly beg for money just to make ends meet.
patrons get access to devlogs, updates, concept art, pretty much any development material i feel like posting. $5 and $10 members also get access to beta builds (as well as a guaranteed copy on steam due to how i'm distributing the builds), the frequency of which depends on your tier.
join here!
if you can't afford to join and pay on a consistent basis but still want to help out, i also have a ko-fi that i use as a tip jar and donation pool.
the current goal is if i reach $200 per month i will put this fucking bird in the game. we're about $42 shy of seeing this fucking bird in-game.
Announcement!
We've recruited a couple more voice actors!
