Development of my game may slow down for a (hopefully) brief period as I begin seeking professional help for my current mental state. Please continue to be patient with me, thank you

If you see a strange AI slop album on my Spotify artist profile called "Autumn Knit", that's not my work. It was added there without my consent. Issues like this are seemingly common on the platform, sadly. I've sent Spotify a content mismatch form about it. Hoping it's resolved soon 🙏🏾

When freestyling during lines where you assemble the Robo-Darlings, you're actually customizing the look of the finished Robo-Darling! Read more about this stage and other progress on the development of Scratchin' Melodii in the latest devlog: store.steampowered.com/news/app/272...

I kinda wanted SpongeBob to be playable at first but the companion is super cute and much more fitting for him. I can have SpongeBob everywhere I go with whoever I play as. I do wish there were more emotes however. I am a huge SpongeBob fan

It was brought to my attention that UNBEATABLE was written neither in all caps nor no caps when mentioned in this devlog. This has now been fixed. My apologies, Quaver

If you want to survive bluesky coming from twitter you will have to accept that you will Not be doom scrolling or watching strangers be humiliated all day and you will be healthier for it. Just look at a couple dragon ball screenshots and log off, you haven't finished those drawings buddy

At the moment, it's looking like the story would be best wrapped up in only four acts, with the fourth one being slightly longer than the rest. Sorry if this is a disappointment! The estimation of five acts was from a much earlier point in development/planning

I'm not sure if I'll post another Scratchin' Melodii devlog before the end of the year, but do note that I finished implementing the Act 2 boss in October and the first rival of Act 3 is currently being storyboarded. Hope you all have a great Holidays! (Image unrelated)

There's so much I could say about this game. It was the exact kind of anomaly in my life that I needed to see growing up. I'm glad to have experienced Undertale

Undertale reminded me what it was like to genuinely love a story, its world, and its characters. Because of it, I've grown to feel like I can make anything and be anything.

If there's anything you're curious about that you'd want me to talk about or show in a future devlog, feel free to ask and I may consider doing so in the future! (Obviously nothing TOO crazy though. As usual, I can't have you guys snooping too much through the laboratory right now)

I'm nearly done animating the sketch draft of the 2nd Scratchin' Melodii boss. I'll probs be doing its line art/color soon. The framework for implementing stages in-engine is p much solid now, so there'll be less for me to devlog on for a while as I focus on animating stage MVs. Hope you understand!

I would post a little bit more non-game-dev related on this site but it's always so calm here that I feel like I'd be disturbing the peace. On the other hand, perhaps I should enjoy the luxury of there being less people to worry about while I still can..

This isn't set in stone ofc, but I may end up deciding you have to clear the stage normally first before achieving Lucid. If not though, the following cutscene will probably just have slight dialogue differences, if any. Branching story paths could quickly go beyond scope, so I gotta be careful!

I hope not to freak anyone out by chiming in! The scoring systems from the demos are from earlier points in dev when I was still heavily experimenting with it. The one I've landed on to use in final is much more balanced and more accurate to the game's inspirations. Sorry to hear you had a bad time!
