I just dropped the last five kits in the web-store. For all of you that purchased a kit or two, THANK YOU! The postman will likely be peeved with me, as he has a rather large pick up tomorrow :) All the kits have shipped and will be heading to their new homes. If you have trouble with the assembly see here and the instructions for the big kit if you have further questions is here .... they share many of the same components but with far less parts. All the best! Mark-

The limited edition 5.5" are now available on the web-store. Looks like we will have a total run of 92 to 95 of this kit. I will not be recieving any more of this kit so if you wanted one or more this will be your last chance to pick one up. You can find them here... All the best! Mark-

So you probably noticed that there was no update yesterday. I could give a lot of excuses as to why, but the honest truth is that my motivation has waned a little the last couple of weeks. It hasn't completely disappeared, but it's been a little difficult to concentrate. I'm trying to get my get-up-and-go back, and in the meantime, several things have suffered. All that being said, I apologize for the radio silence of the last week or so. I'll be back to regular updates (and streaming) next week.

I had a shitty time sleeping last night, so I'm exhausted, I have a headache, and I'm exhausted. So rather than actually work on something, I think I'm going to try to learn something. And that something is the Unreal Development Kit. Because more games are in everyone's best interests. I may stream parts of the learning process, but I'll be honest, I'm not sure if my attention span is where it should be right now. Considering I've spent the last ten minutes just kind of staring at my computer, well...anyway, yeah. If I do start streaming I'll update the tag on the right. And yes, still on track for the next update day. In the meantime, have a picture! It's Asian Goth Girl Lydia! (Art by the awesome  Luck ster )

So what did I fix today? Let's see... Bug Fixes: - Shopaholic, Big Eater, Light Eater, Fast Metabolism and Slow Metabolism now show up properly on the Traits listing. - Light Eater will no longer trigger a status update every. Single. Turn. - Changed some stuff in the Go Home From Beach function, so that hopefully clothes will stop getting stuck on you. - Some typos fixed in Genevieve's dates. - The form-fitting clothes can now be found in the specialty store, since I forgot to add them before. They do not have descriptions when when yet. - You should no longer lose health at the end of the first day that you can choose your meal plan. - Restricting underwear will no longer get taken out of your purchased clothes inventory when you get the Slave trait. - Shoes are now taken off when you get home from walking, so that you'll no longer be able to put on two sets of shoes. - Internet Reporter will now pay you properly, and advance time properly so that you can go home after yo...

Well, first of all, please keep posting bug reports, because I do read every single one of those. But just an FYI, I won't really have time to do anything about the bugs until Saturday/Sunday at the earliest. So, just be aware of that.

Gonna be releasing a new update today, so I guess I should get to work, huh? 12:35pm : New traits added: Shopaholic, Fast/Slow Metabolism, Big/Light Eater, Neat Freak. Now on to finishing Lydia. 3:25pm : Lydia is complete up until the point that you get her phone number. So, she's at the point that Genevieve was stuck at for months, but hopefully not as long for her. I think she'll be more fun to write anyway. Now, on to the Internet Reporter job promotion. 5:48pm : New update. Update 5/10 Still didn't get everything on the update list, so expect that to happen in the next update. But most of it's done. Major Updates: - New job promotion (Journalism): Internet Reporter. There's one new event, and another that will be added in the next update (it's far more complicated than most other job events, annoyingly). - New character: Lydia. She has a 10% chance of showing up in the mall when you go, but just because she's there doesn't mean she'll talk to you...

No, that does not mean I'm streaming naked. It's been a week. Let's get back into the swing of things, shall we? Lots to do to release on Thursday. Stream is over. Got looooots of stuff done. Added more buyable clothes (hopefully the last clothes in the game), several new traits, and laid the groundwork for some other stuff, like the new relationship NPC Lydia. Still going to be a long stream on Thursday to get everything done for the next release, but at least I'm not completely panicking any more.

Remember when I said this week would be weird? Obviously, there was no stream yesterday. I had every intention of doing one, but as soon as I looked at the code, I just couldn't stomach the idea of actually working. I think there might have been a variety of reasons for it, but the biggest reason was that I just wanted a day off. So I took one. Sorry about not informing everyone at the time, and while I did enjoy not having to do anything yesterday (other than the stuff that I had to do in the real world), I also felt pretty guilty about it. I'll be back to normal streaming tomorrow, and I'm still on track for the next release. Just because I don't stream doesn't mean I'm not working.

So, I've been looking at Cursed over the weekend, trying to get the bugs fixed that people have been reporting. It's an annoying process, especially recreating them. And when that gets too annoying to continue, I'm working on the Internet Reporter job (which is actually kind of easy, but for the "interview" random event, which is kind of involved and, hopefully, interesting). Sadly, I will not be able to stream tonight. My wife's car needed some work, and we have to pick it up tonight after she's done work, which means I won't be home until almost 9pm. And Thursday? I got volunteered to help out my sister-in-law moving some furniture. And by "moving" I mean that I need to hang out at her apartment on the other side of town while furniture is delivered. I have no idea when that will be (apparently, the delivery guys are going to give me a half-hour window when they're close by), so the Thursday stream will be interrupted for a bit. But on ...
