Thank you!


Hiho! Wudgey here.  

It's been about 4 months since I published the Pinkmatch demo here on Itch....

-- Only four months?! For real?  Σ(・口・)

Wowie.  After being contractually full-time at my day job, it feels like I've been gone forever.  



Thank you for trying out the game! 

I wasn't expecting to hit more than 200 downloads.... 

I didn't know what to expect at all, really, and I was deathly terrified of posting the game (mortifying ordeal of being known and all). But I've gotten some delightful comments and reassurance that I was able to make you guys' days just a bit brighter. And that's all I want, really.  ❤ 

I hope I get the chance to make you laugh again soon!

❤  Time for a little Q&A!  ❤ 

Future plans?

You got right to the point!!  Σ(・口・)

Ah jeez, let's see. In late January I'll be participating in a 2-day Global Game Jam with a friend. I'll be signing up for that here in a couple of days.

There's NaNoRenO 2020 in March... I'd like to submit the continuation (and hopeful completion) of Pinkmatch to that (and I'll have to use #intrenaimo on my submission). Buuuut I'll be out of the country for a week of March, so I'm not sure I can participate properly. ;_;  I'm a sour perfectionist, so if I join the jam, I probably won't be able to relax on my vacation. Haha.


Pinkmatch completion?

Yuh-hm! 

Obviously I need to finish writing and coding the scenes for Angelo and Sanga, but I also wanted to introduce a third love interest as well.  

However, I only want to work on Pinkmatch during game jams. If you have any jams that would be a good fit for a humble android dating sim, let me know!


Present plans?

How bold. 

You just asked a little out of order there, didn't you?  ///   Careful, you're making my heart race!

Right now I'm participating in Naniwrimo, but in a deeply selfish way that favors me and my interests only. I'm not writing a book. I'm writing uh... a stream of consciousness diary, in which I occasionally also make progress on my Super Secret Personal Project™.  

It's another themed dating sim that I've been working on since 2017, and I've distributed two alpha tests so far with generally positive reception. 

I'm hoping to complete a beta demo by March! ❤

But just because I complete it by March, doesn't mean I'll release it in March.... There's a whole lot of prep work that goes into releasing a game, you know??


Berry looks different.

That's not a question. ;;;; 

Yes, I've played with his design a little bit. Ran his head in a tub of Cruella De Vil hairdye.  What do you think? 

think he looks like an Alfie chocolate bar.

That's all I can think of talking about for right now.


With all my soggy love,

Wudgey.

Idea for future iterations: Berry instead of a science fair, wants to sell you at an auction but must run some final tests, and figures real life interactions will only help you learn how to charm auctioneers.
He videotapes all your dates through your eyes and reviews the contents with you right afterwards, telling you how you can improve and making notes such as "You notice that? That was a moment of vulnerability. You'd do best to capitalize on it whenever it appears."

Eventually it's time to review tapes after your LI had made it clear things should be secret/private/etc, and you get the choice of telling Berry "NO"
