Lately I've been playing "The Dolls Ask For Nothing" which you can play here:

https://jammyjams.itch.io/the-dolls-ask-for-nothing

This game is the perfect blend of weird, spooky, comforting, and cool that just makes you go WHOA.

It's stuck with me for days after I played it.

Please give the dolls a visit!

The main area of the store is finished.

I'll see you next week.

I'd like to thank the two (maybe more) people who supported HFTGOOM during the summer sale.

The game is slowly getting closer to getting out of profile features limited which means a lot to me.

Also I am going to be a little more aggressive than usual when I say this but organizing the queer games bundle destroyed me psychologically.

The organizers here have taken on a terrible burden and if we don't support them now I don't know if there will be anyone left to step up.

You can't just have an art movement based on vibes alone.

These games are made by flesh and blood human beings and they have needs like food, shelter, and art tools. All of which are becoming more and more expensive

I know things are tight but there genuinely aren't many chances like this to directly help real human beings.

I'm not saying you have to spend 60 bucks but it'll really hurt me if this fails to raise any funding.

I just want to see them succeed.

After a year of censorship and legal attacks the queer community needs your help.

The Queer Games Bundle ended but others have taken on that burden.

The Pride Bundle funds 284 queer artists directly.

Support people not corporations.

60$: https://itch.io/b/3682/

10$: https://itch.io/b/3684/

Also totally off topic but I put in a bunch of requests for my local library to buy books and four of them got approved.

It's incredible having the library buy a bunch of new books for you and then being the first person to get to read them.

People don't talk about how good libraries are but they're one of the best things about being alive. I love libraries and I'd make a game set in one if they weren't an absolute nightmare to draw.

Here's my current week's progress.

The pharmacy is getting close to done.

Special thank you to everyone who wishlisted Hormones of the Dead or threw a few dollars at me.

It made me happy.

If you haven't wishlisted the game you can find it here:

Hormones of the Dead is now coming soon on steam!

Please consider wish listing it!

Bianca just joined Mastodon today to post this so it would make me really happy if everyone welcomed her here too.

I made a lot of progress at game development.

I will be back to weekly posting now.

I would like to apologize to anyone I worried.

I'm okay now.

The gayming pride parade is looking for 10 games to show off during their festival.

You can sign up here:

gaymingfoundation.org/prideatsgf/

It's probably going to be fiercely competitive for slots so euugghhh good luck.

If you can get in it's worth it as a long shot deal.

Had nightmares so I'm up.

For this week I've been working towards getting basic character designs in game and combat working.

Didn't finish in time to have something worth showing but I'm still trying.

See you next week.

Are there any professional video game writing editors or writing editors who are interested in editing a 12-15k word game script?

If so reply here or email me at steammccue@gmail.com

Please let me know your rates/experience.

Absolutely no ai.

Once a week post. Still working on game.

Figuring out vibes, technical designs.

See you next week.

If you liked HFTGOOM or have any interest in games about trauma.

Please play Wednedays.

It's free right now until November 21st.

If you aren't up to it right now just add it to your account.

I promise it's worth playing.

Also the final bit of stuff that I have that's worth sharing is takiudon is doing a fpga console thing.

He's looking for devs with free games to add their stuff to it.

I view it as a way to have more offline copies of your game distributed so consider submitting something here:

Also I was too nervous to say this last week but I really liked Kastel's latest VN "Summer Studies in Japan" 2025.

https://kastelpls.itch.io/japan-2025

Getting to peek into another person's life is one of the best parts of art so please consider giving this game a try!

Once a week post.

Still alive.

Starting to rough draft out character designs.

Nothing serious mostly just vibes.

See you all next week!

Once a week post.

My computer finally arrived.

I just need a little bit more to get settled and then I'll be back to game development.

See you next week.
