[Motoko Kusanagi]

Stopped by to shitpost but remembered they gave another excuse themself the entire month of October off, but not only that the entire month of November too if they plan on releasing it 4 days before the end. The shitpost writes itself.

Fake update: Herpa derp edition
(insert bad render of a stick figure with an Alice wig)

Well, shit! I fractured my fingers while twiddling them to figure out an excuse for this month. I know I said v.0.4 with Alice route would be coming adter Thanksgiving... About that. My cat ate the hard drive where I had most of the renders and they have been render useless. I'm now starting from scratch on Godot snd this may cause a little delay. I'm guesstimating sometime around President's Day or Columbus Day 2045... But it will have all routes and new ones with new characters as well.

I'm too tired to copy paste but I won't bill anyone until then and soon I will be accepting payments via X.

I have a "Do it for her" collage of Alice on my desk. It's going to stay there forever.

I swear to god, I will never give up on this game.

Monthly Update: Trick or Treat Edition

You must be registered to see the links

Spooky October is almost over, so it's time for another monthly update! As mentioned in previous updates, Offcuts 0.4 is pretty much ready. The release date is planned for the week starting on November 27th and ending on December 3rd, so roughly a month from now. I originally planned the release to be around the 26th and during the weekend, but it looks like I'll be traveling during those days, so the release should be a few days later once I'm back.
That's about it for now. Everything else has been pretty much said in the previous updates. Once 0.4 is finally out, there is more room for planning the next step and discussing everything else I have been working on during this long cycle.
As always, I'm not going to take any Patreon payments until 0.4 is out (I'll temporarily suspend my Patreon at the end of each month until then).
The rest of the post is mostly copied from my previous updates for those who are new or want to be reminded of what will be coming next. See you in the next post, thanks for your support and patience!
--
So, TL;DR:
* Next release 0.4 will have Alice's full storyline.
* Some new tech in 0.4: interactive 3D and pre-rendered movies, at least a few of each. When I get the pipeline (and my skills) working smoothly, next releases should have more.
* After 0.4 I will try out a bit faster release schedule with partial updates instead of releasing large, complete routes that take ages to finish. We'll see how it goes.
* Possible Steam release at some point after 0.4 is out. Steam has been pretty random with adult games, so who knows what can happen.

And lol the game has already been delayed!

Bet you on New Years eve, he going to come out with another excuse like someone launched fireworks at his home during New Year's celebration and his house burned down. But good thing is that he had a data backup from Backblaze, but found it opened an interdimensional time traveling portal where he had to fight off succubus dragon demon things in a quest to return home to our dimension, but good thing is that he managed to get that dimension's version of his hard drive, but he now just needs to go on a 4 year quest to decipher the magical encryption the flying spaghetti monster put on it.

The month for Thanksgiving is almost over and its time for the monthly update.

Sorry to tell you everyone but the update will be delayed. I know I promised to release it this month or early December but I can't and that makes me sad.

I was on my way to upload the new content but as I was about to click I heard a faint meow. Not one to ignore a noise I investigated. My neighbors cat was stuck in a tree. I managed to climb the tree and rescue the cat but on my way back to my PC a bus full of people crashed into an orphanage, exploding into a ball of flames. Not one to ignore people in need I rushed into the burning building. I pulled every single person out of there including their puppy. After all it was an orphan too.

Now I was bound and determined to click that upload button but lo and behold I got hit by a car. I now have 65 broken bones, 14 ruptured organs, severe concussion, flat tire, low mortgage rates, septic tank explosion, termites in the house, dog had kittens, and i am in a coma. My nurse, her name is Alice, is currently writing this as I tell her.

But yeah, thank you for staying subbed to me. I know its not what you want to hear but I'll try to get the update out by the end of 2024.

The excuses for the excuses have their own excuses now, impressive.

Gonna need a galactic facepalm at this point, I mean think about it. Who makes a released date to UPLOAD A FILE ONLINE. Like what? It makes no sense that this charade has gone on as long as it has.

Before he can do that, he's got to finish ghostwriting the Winds of Winter and the Door of Stone

hold up!!! (or should i say) hodor
He is also writing GOT no wonder it's taking forever, for the perfectionist that he is it may take long time. Maybe be we need to tell him to hurry up, because Winter is coming.

In 2 weeks is the excuse for why there is no update. It involves turkey with pillowy mounds of mashed potatoes!

I was a patron of St for over a year. I still find Melissa's SL worth the entire thing. I just wish he could say "You know what? There are three heroines. End of story.

Fake Update: Edging edition:
(Picture of Alice about to eat a Hotdog)
As I said I was going to release the 0.4 version of Offcuts with the Alice Route this week after Thanksgiving, but when I came back home from the trip, someone stole my hard drives and my computer. Unfortunately, I can't go to the police and explain my situation and the importance of those hard drives, because it could lead me into serious legal troubles and my butt is not ready for prison. But it's OK. I have a backup of a backup of a backup safe in Abu Dhabi. All I have to do is send my neigneig's cat to retrieve it. I really hate Mondays.

The rest of the message is the same old same old TLDR copy paste stuff...
-I won't take your money because despite of being irresponsibly lazy, a compulsive liar, and pretty much shady individual, I horribly fear the IRS.
-Steam release is up there in the air with the actual game, since they flip flop on adult stuff and I don't want to be a prison bitch!
-I want to work on videos, but my potato can barely render Alice's left small boob, a video might kill it. If I had your money, I might've been able to buy a semi competent PC. Curse my sliver of integrity and fear of the Taxman.
-once I release 0.4 on the first day of Never, I can explain my dorection on 0.5 and it's potential release in 2040, but since it's me, that's closer to 2099.
