Hi everyone, long time no see. I thought I’d give an update on shroom soup as well as some other projects I’ve mentioned and also not mentioned before.
But firstly: I changed my username here and on itch!
toxicshroomswamp -> shroomy-games. Don’t worry, it’s all me. I’ve 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?? (Don’t quote me.) Everything I am working on is spoilers, so I don’t know what to show you. Here’s 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. I’m trying out a new style and having lots of fun making it!
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 I’ll uncancel or remake it into something else one day, but I’m not sure.
Blergh-chan’s Adventure in the Land of Worms - on hold indefinitely because I’m not entirely happy with the narrative + want to finish other things first.
Functional Alcoholism - another project I didn’t mention before, based on an old comic I drew as a uni fresher. It has a script, which I’ll likely read, hate and rewrite in a new months’ time. I probably won’t 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 things マイペース (at my own pace), but doing them nevertheless.
Here’s 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. :’D Other than that, there is the final area, which I have started mapping, but am a bit stuck on how to make it cool. I’ll try to properly brainstorm it once I’m distracted enough from GoG. :D
‘Till then, stay safe and healthy,
shroomy out (づ。◕ω◕。)づ━☆゚.*・。゚
