thank you for playing!! i love your work :)

What an incredible series. I'm blown away by the beauty of every single set and the slow increase in ambition from episode to episode. Inspiring and propelling for my own practice. Thank you so much!!!

aaargh that means so much :) i have a tendency to undervalue my stuff for its tendency towards silliness, but i do love what i make. i'm in a biiiig writerly mood lately so I hope you'll enjoy the next few things I have in the pipeline!! When I have time to work on them again!!

I read it!!! holy shit!!!! amazing!!!! i can aspire to write something that incredible someday.

i have not!!!!!! i will do so ASAP thats fucking awesome. thank you for playing!!!

RIP BENNY BARASSI YOU FUCKING LEGEND

uhh i had no idea the streamer you were talking about was vinny!!!!! holy moly what a special surprise

that's so sweet :) thank you so much for enjoying it!

cum mario

commenting in advance... i feel like we are on the same bullshit lookin forward to playing

Thanks for giving it a play!! :)

Thank you so much for the kind words <3

hahahaha good job getting out of bounds!!! We didn't make it easy!

I came back to try and actually reunite them and it was tough as hell but i succeeded. shockingly beautiful game and ending :)

 is one of the most thoughtful comments I've ever received, thank you so so SO much!💜

I  wanted to show a whole smorgasbord of dysfunctional masculinities, and I'm really proud especially of some of the subtler ways that the characters suck, like the Wagie clearly looking to the Gambler for approval constantly because he's the most Big Boy Alpha in the room.

I really love hearing about people's favourite character! Somehow they're all good. Will I ever pull that off again??? Hopefully! The stranger is such a like, if you're the right kind of person it's going to shoot straight into your soul, which makes sense, coz they're comprised at least partly of mine (although not quite autobiographical as some folks have assumed lmao). Personally, I just can't get over my beloved cowboy as like basically a flawless beautiful kind humble fellow who is also maybe the biggest freak of them all, but in a way that's so ridiculous it's hard to take seriously.

Thank you again so much for playing and sharing such beautiful thoughts :) i'm gonna keep telling weird stories about weird people and I hope you enjoy them! (Perhaps chuck me a follow? :3) I think you might like City of Piss a lot too, by the by!

Absolutely incredible. The little cheat code twist destroyed me.

honestly one of my most inspired last-minute choices hahahaha. people were finishing the story too quick and I was like uhhhh how do I kill time? bro country, of course!

Thank you so much for checking it out :)

One of my happy places :)

I'm eagerly awaiting your jokes and japes!!

SWAG!!! Here is ur diploma

Thanks for playing!! i'll try and come up with some recommendations for you soon, but in the mean time, my game Monomyth is quite similar if you're interested!!

I'm so proud of how the shushing and the pies just stop him dead in his tracks lmao

So i just actually watched your video and looks like you didn't finish the game! The section you were up to is all about repetition - if you keep honking the horn, Stone Jones will notice!

Thanks for playing! Love to see a family share the experience together :))) absolutely adorable

They don't all have to be 100 hour epics! Otherwise we'd have no time to eat sandwich :) thanks for playing!

Yeah alright

This is why i'm here

Thank you for visiting my city!

thank you for playing mimi!!!! I'm always happy to hear from you!

*snap*

Thank you for playing!!! :)

Funnily enough, it took like two or three times as long as the jam lasted to actually get it to this state! Games like these with a hundred single-use mechanics are a nightmare,,,

Thanks for playing! The pie throwing stuff was probably the most unnecessarily complicated part of making the game, so I'm glad it paid off lmao

BABE MOMENT

YEAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WINNING!!!!!! I hope you're having a wonderful time!

hahaha, as someone who makes at least one dialogue system a year I can get behind a good text box, but I do really enjoy this minimalist setup, and I reckon we ought to experiment more with how we present text!!

Wow!!! I'm really floored by the kindness here :)
Monomyth is definitely less explicitly "plunder-y" with stolen models and such, but you're right to pick that every bat has some kind of reference in their dialogue (mostly to one piece lol). The final fantasy one is moreso a reference to a friend of mine with a very iconic laugh and a love of tifa hahahaha.

I think the dreamy vibes and use of recogniseable imagery, especially in city of piss, do a lot to help the player buy in and enter that sort of mildly suggestive state that you might get when you're very sleepy or high or something, and it definitely seems like the emotional core of these two games have hit folks way harder than anything else I've made as a result. It's not uncommon for people to find something in it that I can't find myself, especially in Monomyth (I got invited to talk about it for an indie games festival, and god was the impostor syndrome killing me at the time), which I find absolutely beautiful.

I appreciate your support so, so much, and I really hope you continue to enjoy my stuff! I've no intention of stopping.

PS: you're not projecting at all about the self acceptance thing! I mean, in case you didn't notice, my itch name isn't the same today as it was when you last commented :] I may be particularly interested in themes of the self at the moment for... reasons....
