The to-do list is done. I repeat: THE TO-DO LIST IS DONE!! Only play-testing and the secret area remain, and it's just inside of a month until release! I'm so happy I could cry! 🥲

I need to start my steams earlier. It's a little boring at the moment, watching me draw stuff in GIMP is like watching paint dry 😅 Playtesting will come be in about an hour.

Now live! I'll be continuing to play test #CurtainsTheClown, answer questions and even do a little texture work. Might even close out the stream with a little Hollow Knight, feeling cute 😉

Stay strong, Jazz! I know it's rough right now, but you can make it through this. The coffee will always be there.

Gearing up for another day of #SteamNextFest streaming on #Twitch. This time I'll be going live at 4pm EDT to continue play-testing, Q&A, and also maybe a little texture work. See you then!

Ooooh, I get it now. You're right, they use location when expanding the transform field, I misunderstood. My bad, brain hasn't been firing on all cylinders recently.

You can count on me to return these favors in kind when the next Next Fest hits. The unity is real 😁

Medical things are scary. I hope if anything turns up, it's only minor and easily treatable.

As I was reading through this, I was thinking to myself "please be okay, please be okay." So glad to hear he's okay!

👽Curtains the Clown🤡 | Wishlist on Steam! | by GrimClownJay @grimclownjay.bsky.social · 3h

Strange that they don't use "transform" like the rest of the civilized world 😁 All jokes aside, I agree, "location" would make a lot more sense in addition to being more user friendly.

Pardon the engine pun, but it would be unreal to see this number continue to grow at the rate it's been going over the last 2 days. Thank you so much for everything you've been doing, my friend. Without question, you're a big part of the reason why this milestone has been reached 🙏💜💚👽🤡

Thank you, Alex! That would be so cool, we'll just have to wait and see!

During my return to streaming on Twitch no less. I assumed it was only a coincidence because I didn't see my viewer count go over 6 the whole time. If this happens again after streaming again today, I'll know it wasn't.

If you told me 2 years ago that #CurtainsTheClown would reach 100 wishlists, I would have laughed, thanked you for your optimism, then said something about realistic expectations...

Well, it actually happened! I'm not crying, you're crying 🥲

#GameDev #IndieGame #SoloDev #Gaming #SteamNextFest

The wishlist analytics for my game Curtains The Clown. Today, the total amount of wishlist additions hit 100! The graph shows a big spike at the current date and previous day which coincides with the start of the Steam Next Fest. 23 additions in the last 2 days.

That would truly be the ideal dream come true for sure. Perhaps the success of your game will positively impact progress towards fulfilling it.

"No matter how we feel, we've got a taste for one another and a few good years to kill. No matter what is real, it seems that even in Arcadia you walk beside me still. Have you been waiting long for me?"

Back when I would stream every day, I had a few regulars who would come out to say hi, chat a bit, then lurk it up. After nearly 5 months of total radio silence, they all showed up today as if I never stopped. If you need me, I'll be over here just melting from the love I feel right now.

+1 👍👍 May all of your goals be met and all of your dreams come true! 🍀

Dive in the thoughts of a trans girl through her diary in this narrative platformer! The gameplay will flow to the sound of her voice while she shares her view of her body, romance, emotions, and much more... Filled with handcrafted visuals and a touching story, this game will strike your heart.✨

I don't think I've ever seen a dialog system actively avoid the player like this. This is a really cool idea! Hats off to you for this.

new dialogue elements (wip) try their hardest not to cover the player.
