Progress Update—October 2023
We've been working on some exciting prototypes to make the gameplay of a Grapple Day-style game more immersive. Patrons will have a new short game to play in November. The plan right now is a couple more short games, before switching to something longer and episodic like Grapple Day again.Thank you to everyone so far who has voted in polls or provided feedback! We've been incorporating the results and plan to have more polls coming.

These polls are open to anyone, although we'll be giving the most weight to patrons, with higher tiers being most influential.Here's one to start: What personality of main character would you ...
A Short Note on Unity
If you follow any other creators, you might've seen some controversy about Unity (the most popular tool people use to make video games today). We think the new changes to Unity sound awful, but luckily, we don't use it, so it won't slow down our development schedule at all.We have some new projects that we're excited to show soon and will continue to provide updates on our old ones!
