VERY FUN NEWS! ✨ SAG-AFTRA's Game Jam Waiver is now publicly available!! There's no way I can fit absolutely everything I want to say about it in 300 characters—both about how to use the waiver/why it's so neat + how absurdly grateful I am to the folks who helped make it a thing—but it's SO cool.

Speaking about defrosting the DAW after the break, we've got a tiny update for Undergrowth 🏔️❄️ We're one part done with breaking auto-voicing in Ren'Py and then now we're in the middle of unbreaking them with voice tags whilst also walkie-fying Arc 1 & 2, then we'll have to hope that nothing breaks

Defrosting my DAW after Undergrowth's Winter Jam burst hit me when I realised I've been doing audio work for about 2 years now. An insane feat if you ask me. 1/7 (Also unrelated Blåhaj because it's Blåhaj and it's cute)

CNY is coming soon and I'm so not ready to gain the extra weight- Also pineapple tarts are literally the best, S tier goodies. Don't @ me on that.

Early on in the strike, @teebeevo.bsky.social fundamentally altered how I say "Side Letter Six" courtesy of a *very* silly video, and I honestly appreciate that so much because it's mentally "sticky" enough (with or without said video) that folks I'm explaining it to tend to remember it as well! 🤣

The good news: I can talk about Isaak because "Undergrowth" is strike-friendly. The bad news: I can't really talk about Isaak without wanting to roast him, since he's a vaguely unsettling misanthrope who sounds a bit like me. But, hey! At least he'd let you borrow some of his beloved 𝐌𝐎𝐋𝐃.

One of my friend's family members is in need of surgery. If you can, please donate as much as you can or at the very least share this around. It would be greatly appreciated: gofund.me/9d3b6da9

If you played the 1.0 demo of "Undergrowth" (or even if you didn't) and thought "What was happening on the days that got skipped in Arc 1 + Arc 2?" Good news: 2.0 added them! We don't have an easy method for players to jump back and view those new scenes (for now), though, so… youtu.be/ZyJ0-ah8FK4

In a similar vein, but on a different point: If you're still working NU games in the strike… So many of your peers (of all union status types! Across all regions!) are bleeding our savings to hold the line because we believe in helping everyone. We won't have this type of leverage against 🤖 again.

In the category of "I Might've Done Goofed" (AKA "When will my curly brackets return from war?!")...hotfix 2.01 has now been uploaded, ensuring that folks can get to December 29th as intended (read: I've unborked my own code) 🫡😅 azufx.itch.io/undergrowth

yesterday out of nowhere I remembered that I had an iPad 2 laying around the house I haven't switched it on for like 4 years ever since the original cable got borked I got a new charger today and guess what, the fossil still works

If you've enjoyed Cryptmaster, please consider sharing the news. Despite an IGF award, a 95% Steam rating and a free demo, the game has gone mostly unnoticed by both press and players. It's not just a typing game and there may still be people out there who would enjoy it!

Looking back at the Miro board this morning made me nervous and excited for when I have to write burst three of Undergrowth's development. The branching of dialogue in all the following scenes in Arc 4/5 are about to get more and more intricate as the story continues 😈

In total/across both development bursts, I've directed ~75hr of sessions for "Undergrowth." This go 'round, I implemented >5000 lines of code for 37 in-game days…which is just stuff added in 2.0. Both stats are tiny relative to the writing, audio-work, & art done by my teammates. It's a BIG game!!

The #visualnovel Undergrowth just got a huge update as part of Winter Jam! It’s got tons of new scenes including an entire month of extra story content! Of course, that means I got to return as Jax for some good old suffering in the snow! Thanks to the Undergrowth team for having me back! (1/2)

For anyone curious: The strike is very much still ongoing. Union performers streaming any games they performed in (except for non-strikeable "side letter 6" games or games signed to SAG-AFTRA Tiered Budget or Interim agreements) are violating the strike and risk disciplinary measures.
