New update on my Love Quest. I spent about 4 hours talking to a girl I met online last week over Discord. Sadly she lives in another state, so I doubt anything will come of it, but when I told her I'd have asked her out if we'd met IRL, she was really positive about it, so I feel pretty good about my ability to talk to the ladies (I just don't know how to meet them IRL).

Which means I have made more progress in a few months than stencilbits has in years. I'll let you know if any new updates happen. It's still neck-and-neck!
Make sure she isn't some fat naked Indian guy in a basement somewhere or a FBI agent. We all know women don't exist on the internet!

Loving this for you, just don't forget to suspend your patreon payments at the end of the month.

Oh man, I like to come on this thread every couple of months just to check the dev monthly "excuses". I'm sure he is running some sort of wacky social experiment just to see how long will people still comment on his game or something.

I am, but, I'm also waiting for George RR Martin to finish his song of ice and fire, I'm also waiting for GTA6, I'm also waiting for Shenmue 4... My Mom to show up and claim that she faked her death. Right now I'm rooting for my dead Mom to show up before any of the others.
There is always the fabled Half-life 3 too.

December fake Update:
Filthy Animal Edition:
Picture of Alice dressed like Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone 2 While Nina and Melissa are dressed like the Burglars


Another Year ends and the bullshit never stops flowing.
I'M Keeping the update short because I've plenty of shit to do and Offcuts ain't one of them. So, I said we might see something in January... I lied. Big shocker, I know. If in six years you haven't figured out that my credibility is null, that's on you... If I still believe my own bullshit, that's on me.

Now the burning question: Am I releasing Offcuts 0.4 with the Alice route? How the fuck would I know? I'm just the guy who made the game. It's not like I have insider knowledge of its release.

I've been doing video shit to make updates take far longer than they already do. Because still images and text has made it very impossible for me to finish. To be fair, I draw these on Motherfucking MS Paint! No wonder I had a going blind act last season.

My potato PC that started malfunctioning again, foreshadowing, has caused further delays. Uh, Did I do the Christmas Vacation excuse? Well, I'm dating a Filipinx and they celebrate extended Christmas with the Magi, so I'm going to Manila for holiday. Once I return I will release a tech demo of the video stuff and then do Offcuts 0.4 for realsies this time.

I may be a liar, but not a crook, so I won't take your money... world's dumbest scammer, I know.

TL;DR: Nothing new. You should've expected that by now. It's been over 6 years!

Monthly Update: Also Yearly Update Edition

3 hours ago





Another month (and year) is ending, so it's time for the good, old monthly update! I'm writing this in a hotel, waiting for a flight home after a busy December, finally ready to take a few weeks off from my day job. End of the year tends to be hectic where I work, so it's nothing new. Fortunately, there's usually plenty of time off later to make up for it. This will be a pretty short update as I hinted last time, but next one should have more content in it. The 3D demo release should be around the end of January or start of February, but that depends on how the Godot 4.6 release schedule goes, as it includes new rendering improvements and useful fixes, along with a new inverse kinematics system I have been playing around with that can make some animation tasks easier. AMD has been having some issues with its Vulkan drivers again, although the latest driver update seems to have fixed things for now (probably until they manage to break it once again). After the demo is out, the plan is to release Offcuts 0.4 a few months later and keep going with the 3D stuff.
So until then, enjoy the holidays if you can. Also, (late) Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, hopefully it will be a good one.
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 patience!

Holy fucking shit, he gave himself an out for the next 6 months. We did it , we reached maximum procrastination status.

No way 4.0 even exists, this basically confirms it. They have nothing to show for almost 7 years.

Ok this has gotten a bit bizarre. Does anyone have any working theories on why exactly this charade is still going on?
Honestly who knows at this point. If it lasted two or maybe three years than maybe It would count as a social experiment done for a collage paper. However after reaching almost seven years, nothing makes sense.

Normal people would not have stretched this out for so long. Some devs do with years in-between releases etc. This however goes beyond that. Stencil has pulled every literal excuse known to man yet keeps going on and keeps saying nothing.

Even if they were doing this for entertainment purposes, one would probably have stopped long ago. It really doesn't add up.

Honestly, college paper is the only thing that makes sense. I really do not understand the grift, he doesn't even get paid for it.

Unless the person is literally insane, I cannot think of a legit reason to keep this going for so many years. Especially like you said, they're not getting paid.
As someone who is insane, my guess is it's a case of "I really want to do this but ehhhhh I don't wanna do it right now" over and over again.
