It's just table-setting and non-interactive for now, but this week I put together a ferris wheel for the Marin Shores Pier. The art still needs more polish, but I've been wanting some sort of big tourist attraction on the pier and I'm glad I've got something in place.

Not quite the return to fun features I was hoping for, but the shelves you place in your house'll represent the items you put in them.

Longtime followers'll recognize OG as the inspiration behind "Sanpo Engine" which SKC runs on, as well as having a song ingame about him. He's one of the looks of the dogs you can adopt and just overall emblazoned all over the game. I love this little guy and will miss him. (3/3)

Between this and the immense family tragedy my partner suffered months back and having to deal with the emotional and logistical aftermaths of both, SKC is being pushed to 2027. I apologize for pulling the rug on everyone again but I hope I'm met with understanding. (2/3)

A few days ago, my best friend of 17 years and good boy, OG, started having health complications that snowballed over the course of a weekend, leading to us making the heartbreaking decision to let him rest for good. (1/3)

I appreciate it!! I looked at your profile and your work is awesome (my favorite is the baking mishap, hahah)

As a character customization head, I've always disliked having to choose between "your hair looks beautiful, magnificent, exactly how you wanted" and "oh, you're wearing a hat now, okay here's a ponytail" and so early on in Sunkissed City's development, I came up with this.

They finally put my DS2 wife in Elden Ring and I was a little misty eyed too. (but real talk, I'm thinkin' about ya!)

I didn't like shop owners having to be stuck standing behind their shop counters all day, so I added this tiny little interaction so that they could wander about freely while still being findable and interactable.

The crafting systems I've built also let you craft some overpowered food items.

Someone mentioned Rune Factory's fish sword and it reminded me of my favorite weapon in the Way of the Samurai series (BIG TUNA). Anyways, it's a secret, but if you use any fish as an upgrade item for a weapon, well...

Arthur 'Mr. Podunkian' Lee @mrpodunkian.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

I've been working on how NPCs behave after you marry them and I thought it would be a cute touch to have them always wake up facing you (unless you do something that makes them think otherwise...)

Once you've built up friendships with the people of Apollo, they'll lend a hand with maintaining the gardens you've set up around the city !!

Arthur 'Mr. Podunkian' Lee @mrpodunkian.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

I gotta make the sound less annoying, but I wanted to visually and audibly indicate how your interactions with characters changes your friendship levels.

Arthur 'Mr. Podunkian' Lee @mrpodunkian.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

Plussed up the foliage in the forest a little bit. I've been a little unmotivated lately, so mindlessly drawing plants has been a good reprieve.

Domino runs the smithy, but is maybe more into the craft for how ripped it keeps his physique.

Your hoe/shovel can be used to cover up holes you create with them. Hat tip to Pokopia's treasure blocks for inspiring this change !!

Arthur 'Mr. Podunkian' Lee @mrpodunkian.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

Got all my Pokopia towns to level 10 and and so I finally had the time to implement this thing I liked from it. I spent awhile figuring out what to call it, because "pester" was accurate but maybe too mean. So NPCs will occasionally "approach" the player with gifts.

Took a few days off "actual" work to realize a joke idea I had back when I was rewriting Junimo Kart. "What if Junimo Kart was actually a Kart."

Arthur 'Mr. Podunkian' Lee @mrpodunkian.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

(I've been recognizing your interactions to my posts here and have been wanting to reach out to ya! No pressure, but if you're up to it, message me on Steam and let's catch up!)

Arthur 'Mr. Podunkian' Lee @mrpodunkian.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

Thanks. The silver lining is that my mom, for whom English is a a second language could intuit "yep, this trash account is just trash" didn't even bother reaching out to me to ask about it and blocked it immediately.

Arthur 'Mr. Podunkian' Lee @mrpodunkian.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

Honestly, I don't get it either... I'm not even looking for a job (and don't know if I ever will) which makes their "don't hire this guy" approach to trolling seem even flimsier.

Arthur 'Mr. Podunkian' Lee @mrpodunkian.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

Anyways, their account here (bsky.app/profile/navi...) seems like a last ditch effort, considering they weren't even making the minimum effort to pretend to like other posts or anything.

on their bio leads to this "blog" which seems pretty legit, which leads to this Twitter page: x.com/fantasitma, which seems pretty legit until you scroll down a bunch and start seeing their tweets devolve to this kind of a mess. (2/2)

Arthur 'Mr. Podunkian' Lee @mrpodunkian.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

They've been stalking me on multiple platforms, responding to every post I've ever made on any platform anywhere, which I just blocked, but they started using this handle www.instagram.com/ucup_bali/ on Instagram (which I barely use) to spam my friends and family. The link there... (1/2)

Just for the record (and because this is THIS platform and not the "other"), the context for this line is basically me saying "I left ConcernedApe LLC in spite of my salary because it felt right to do." I can deal with trolls, but this person has been stalking my friends/family and harassing them.

My brother has been helping w/ music for the game! One of his tracks fit the museum, but it was too upbeat for when the museum doesn't have any artifacts on display, so I came up with a system of transitioning between versions of songs depending on donation milestones !

Useful little QOL thing -- when you catch a fish, the game will show you all of the other fish that are currently available (for the current weather, time, and location), which can be a big help if you're trying to complete your fishing collection.

Arthur 'Mr. Podunkian' Lee @mrpodunkian.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

Another small QOL thing I've shared with the Discord but haven't here, you can check the range of things like sprinklers or beehouses by briefly highlighting them.

Damn, I googled Goblet Grotto and saw the creator's name, and it was specific enough that I Googled "thecatamites blood", which was unhelpful, but then I Googled "thecatamites rpg" since I remembered it was an RPG Maker game and it led me back to Space Funeral, which I played yeaaaars ago and loved

Per bingo rules, the entire left side is pretty chefs kissy

Arthur 'Mr. Podunkian' Lee @mrpodunkian.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

"Birds are too loud" is pretty relatable, but it's flanked by two "goblet" related squares, are you by any chance a gobletier

110

Arthur 'Mr. Podunkian' Lee @mrpodunkian.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

Right side could work for you and your newfound kit friend, beyond again, goblets...

Arthur 'Mr. Podunkian' Lee @mrpodunkian.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

I don't know who Dario and the one to his right is extremely bad for what I'm about to say, but like... this would make for a heck of a bingo card. Bottom row seemed doable beyond the goblets thing.

Arthur 'Mr. Podunkian' Lee @mrpodunkian.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

There's a threshold for alerting mobs that's related to the volume of a sound that's playing, which sampled at 60 fps vs 30 makes the gauge grow faster ??

Dog? Friend. Fox? Friend. That's my conclusion.

That "Heck" location was intended to be read as "Heckno" which maps with IRL Fresno.

You're one of my few follows here, and why my Following tab is Actually Good (and Funny). It probably doesn't mean much, but you've pulled me out of many of my spirals. That's all!

This post made me revisit WASTED's world map and in retrospect, I definitely conflated "Redwood" with "Death Valley" ("Dead Wood"? lame.), which given my sensibilities back in the day, I'd've likely lightly stylized as "Ded Valley"

110

Arthur 'Mr. Podunkian' Lee @mrpodunkian.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

Appreciate it! Yeah, I still revisit my work from back in the day and think "I can't believe I made these games". I'm happy to see you're still at the grindstone yourself !!

Arthur 'Mr. Podunkian' Lee @mrpodunkian.bsky.social · 26/11/2025

I think it's time I have to admit to myself that SKC's 2025 release window's slipped :(. I've been working very hard on the game, but generally, this year was more taxing on my mood than I thought it'd be.
