folks im thinking this will never drop another update...

You know what I am confused about? The elaborately written monthly updates. Why? If I was stencilbits, I'd have gone awol by end of year 1.
The time he has invested in writing going on 5 years worth of worthless garbage that only a handful of people even bother to read, he could have already completed the game.

I doubt with as many times as his prehistoric toaster for a computer has fried and died or his dog humped it to death, that he even still has the assets for this game.

He was probably trying to rebuild it in godot, but obviously has started to physically decompose from all the proofreading.

I still stand by what I said several years ago. This is a social experiment. Stencil wants to see how many people will hang on to something without showing proof of work or ever delivering an update.

That almost sounds as a religion. The cult of Offcuts 0.4 Alice Route. But two days until the 5th anniversary of the last game update on this forum.

Just found this game and I don't know what's going on. Ha ha

So it turns out it's the same as Innocent Witches, but the dev didn't gets 24k$

hilarious


Edit: What if it's actually being written by a bot and the developer is long dead? Can we ask the bot to finish the game? And if so, how?

A brand new excuse is dropping soon from Stencilbits? Wonder which body part fell apart this month.

Why not the same one? He's been reusing the same monthly updates anyway.
The eye excuse has been running for the better part of a year, which is about the average lifespan of the run of the mill garden variety Stencilbits excuse so it's about time something else decomposes and causes problems as we start to get into the next year to keep the con going.

Fake Update time: Happy Anniversary Edition:
(Pic of Alice wearing a pirate outfit with Eyepatch blowing a candle shaped like a five on a generic birthday cake)

Hi again! Another month, another exc... *ahem* status report. My eyesight has gotten better, but now my palms have grown a layer of fur that make me look like the prince but not green. I've broken 3 mice and 4 keyboards the fur keeps getting in the crevices. Eating has been a hassle as there's always hair everywhere. I keep coughing up hairballs like a freaking cat! The only good thing about it is when I jerk off to Alice it feels like I'm a jungle Explorer going through the bush. But you don't care about my personal life, so let's talk Offcuts 0.4 and its status.

The game is almost there. It's essentially done, but I need to go once again over it to ensure there aren't any typos or grammatical errors. We all know that's the most important thing in a porn game. Just checking if the game needs some tweaks, because I'm a tweaker... not THAT kind of tweaker, but the one that does tweaks in games. I do Math, not meth. If I did meth, I'd be like Jesse. What? Breaking bad was the shit when Offcuts 0.1 was made. So, once I do the final tweaks and proofreading, I might release Offcuts 0.4 but I just need to hype it up a bunch in order for the disappointment to be bigger, cause Jesus Christ is my n-99a. Rapping for Jesus was big back when Offcuts 0.1 was made as well.

Did I mention the new project? Because like Walter White, I'm cooking something new... or was it Offcuts: REmake? I can't keep track of my bull- err ideas! Being almost blind and now having hairy palms Has allowed me plenty of time to think about life, death, and other shit. Right now my brain is like an ass that just won't quit. It's like I'm insane in the membrane.

As always, I'm not going to take any Patreon payments until Offcuts 0.4 is out (I'll temporarily suspend my Patreon at the end of each month until then). Thanks for your endless eight patience! OK Haruhi Suzumiya was a dated reference even back when Offcuts 0.1 was released. It's been five years. That has made me a bit nostalgic. When I was a young boy, my father took me into the city and I don't mean a MCR reference, which were somewhat relevant when the story for Offcuts was conceived. The point was, my father took me to the city for a con. There was a meet and greet with Sgt. Slaughter. He was big when I lived in my dad's nutsack. Well, I did the line and got a pic with Sarge while Dad was looking for milk. It's been 30 years, Dad! Daddy, please come home! The wrestlers no longer come to play Royal Rumble with me and mom... although I wasn't allowed to play with them when playing with mom. Daddy! Please come back! Sorry, I got lost in childhood trauma. But my point is, just as I'm waitong for Daddy to return with milk, you guys are waiting for Offcuts 0.4 with the Alice route. Could you imagine if my dad was amongst my Patrons faithfully waiting for my release of Offcuts 0.4? Well, Fuck You, Dad! No Offcuts unless you show up back home with milk!! Not my fault that you went to China to train with my brother on the accursed springs of Jusenkyo. Ranma½ is getting a remake, so it's relevant before the release of Offcuts 0.4! I have to go a new episode of shikanokonokonokokoshinokotokotokotantan... the weird reindeer girl show or however you spell it is on and I might include some references to it and Melissa getting shot in the ear.

:LUL: You're confusing this dev with someone that will do the work in researching a somewhat plausible excuse to support any new health issues. I get your reasoning, I just don't see him putting in any effort in looking up treatments for a new problem.

Released 3 days early for members.

New

Another month is ending, which means another monthly update! My health saga has by now mostly come to end and my eyesight is now as good as it is probably going to get anytime soon. My left eye still gets weird sometimes after straining it too much and I occasionally look like a cartoon character when the pupil size decides to do its own thing, but things could have ended up much worse, so I'm not complaining (much).

As for the infamous Offcuts 0.4 release, I already dusted off the game data files and started going through any TODO's I still have left. Fortunately, there are not many. I'm probably going to give a read-through or two and see if I spot any issues, but other than that it has been "mostly ready" for a long time by now.

A bit more interesting question is how do I continue after releasing Offcuts 0.4. Previously, I had planned to either retire from this hobby or continue with a bit more advanced 3D stuff, as I have previously mentioned, depending on how my eyesight recovered. Things are looking pretty good for now, so I'm trying to continue if nothing goes wrong. I might have to balance my screen-staring time a bit more carefully than previously not to strain my eyes too much, but as long as I get any fun out of this I don't see a reason to stop. I already have some good full 3D prototypes ready, which should also make my content production more efficient. Producing and managing 2D art can in many cases be much more cumbersome than real 3D. But more of that when it becomes relevant.

Offcuts REmake almost confirmed... guessing if we get 0.4 somewhere before 2030, then REmake 0.1 would be here by the time Miguel O'Hara becomes Spider-Man 2099.

Interesting that they haven't been able to touch 4.0 in 5 years but have "some good full 3D prototypes ready". So they can work on stuff but also can't at the same time. Makes sense.


Besides the obvious eye milking, found another excuse in the pile " Producing and managing 2D art can in many cases be much more cumbersome than real 3D ".

We have now come full circle. For 4 years Stencil was using the "read through/proofread/mostly ready" excuse then switched to medical excuse and now he is back to the original excuse. The classics never die.

Guys, guys, remember when I made 0.1 years ago. Let me hit your nostalgia nuts with references to things that were relevant several years ago so you'll forget this update has taken me over 5 years.

Now i'll crack some jokes so you'll stop thinking i'm just full of bullshit excuses.

Then i'll end that with more bullshit excuses.
