A tricky situation. Hopefully this successfully gets the ball rolling, but I'm a bit skeptical, I must say.

Weekly Update #1

Ok, let's start with weekly updates :) Here are some of the things I’ve been up to this past week:

New Game Project Progress

I’ve been working on the new project I mentioned earlier. Finalized designs and worked on the demo. I think it should be done next week, that is the plan.

The Night Driver Progress

Not much progress, I’m still putting on the paper gameplay design and scenes. I know that Gina will be the main focus of the next update.

New Website – BlackToad.dev

Recently I launched a website - blacktoad.dev, which will hopefully be my main hub for art and games someday. It’s not much (just a Black Toad logo) but it feels good and I want to share it with you :)

I don’t have much to share visually this week, so here’s a little test/practice I did for the new game.

That’s it for now! Next week should be a big one, so stay tuned.

This is an example of what I want to do for the new $100 tier - commissioned artwork. In the last poll - which I didn't set up correctly, but that's ok - Mery in the Classic Noir won. I super enjoyed working on this and I'm really happy with how it turned out. What do you guys think?

Hey guys, here’s what I worked on this week:
New Game Demo Progress

Spent most of the week working on the demo for the new game. Sadly it’s not quite finished yet, but I’m hoping to wrap it up in the next few days. Once that’s done, I’ll shift my focus back to The Night Driver next week.

Here’s a little sneak peek — some new art from the game.

Mery’s Illustration

I also spent a few days working on Mery’s illustration this week.

New Patreon Tier Updates

A couple of you have shown interest in the new $100 tier, so I added it today. It will be limited to one member for now.

I’ll also switched the $1 tier to $3 today, as planned.

Thanks for your support, and see you in the next update. Have a great weekend!

Weekly Update #3


Hey everyone! Here’s what I’ve been working on this week:

New Game Demo
The demo is finished - The Milkman - a working title for now.

It’s a small, fun mix of two things I love — lewd comics and platformer games.

The story is set in the 1950s, following a new milkman in the neighborhood. Things quickly get weird, scary, and lewd.

Gameplay & Mechanics:

The demo includes one level and one comic.

Controls: WASD and space - Works great with a controller.

I’m using Corgi Engine in Unity, so most features and mechanics are already in place.

The biggest workload will be level design, level art, and comics, which is great for me. I’m super excited about the comics! I had a great time working on the first one, and I really hope you’ll enjoy it too.

The Night Driver Progress
Spent the rest of the week working on dialogue writing.

Finished Aisha’s and Mery’s scenes (dialogue only) in the hotel.

Tier 5 Update
The first Tier 5 slot is taken for now. We’ll see how it goes!

Let me know what you think! See you in the next update.



God, i suck at platformers, took me way to long. If you do download this, gallery and options don't work and in game the first pin takes you back to the menu, so go across to the right. Probably take you as long to download as to play (if you don't suck like me) but gives you the idea of what they're up to.

You are not alone :D
Not going to lie, I failed 8 times to actually finish that jumping game.
I mean, art is great as always. Can't say much of story as it is just a demo. I'm guessing it's sort of innocent(?) young guy going around meeting MILFs of all kinds and have sweet relationship...? I can tell that he wanted to try different genre of game. As long as he's not abandoning the Night Driver, and updates of both games are not like once a year(or even YEARS) thing, I don't see why not. Hope his patrons take it well.

EVERYONE PLEASE SUPPORT THIS GUY! $3 a month or just donate one time would probably help him a lot, i love for this game to be completed, to everyone saying they love this game, fully supporting him would make this game progress go faster also, stop saying that you are doubtful for this game, there's a lot of game that gets tons of money for us to get picture and a really sloppy animation, this dude deserve everything with how different his game is....

Weekly Update #4

Hey guys,
I’m a bit late with last week’s update. I was away for the weekend. Here’s what I’ve been working on:

The Night Driver – Progress Update
As you probably guessed, I didn’t finish the new update for The Night Driver as planned for the end of February. Looking at it now, that timeline was unrealistic, given the amount of work left.

  • Last week, I finished all the writing, completed most of the Unity work, and started on the art.
  • As mentioned before, the new scenes will feature Mery, Nina, and Gina. Gina’s scenes are especially important, and I want to make sure they’re done right.
  • Looking at what’s left, I’ll need at least two more weeks to finish everything.
  • I’ll post art updates and progress as I go along.
Milkman Demo
I got some great and useful feedback, mostly about the game/platforming difficulty. I’ll definitely adjust it. This level will serve as a good example for later, more difficult levels.
For now, I’ll leave it and focus on finishing The Night Driver update.

Tier 5 - Commission Work
We’re currently working on ideas for the first commission piece. It’s going great so far, and I can’t wait to show you what we came up with.

That’s it for this update. Thanks, and see you in the next one.
