Well folks, it's officially been 3 Years since we brought Strange New Bodies to Patreon!
In October 2020 we launched with nothing more than a keyboard, an expired bag pretzles, and a dream... Since then, we've learned a lot of what we could do, and what we couldn't do - without you.
Our original monthly schedule kept us chomping away at the mound of work. But while we enjoyed ...

What makes a solid game experience? Is it gameplay, story, something else? Probably a bit of all those and more, but one of the least appreciated is probably flow. The way the player moves through and interacts with a game. Does a game proceed naturally 2022-12-11 07:57:05 +0000 UTC View Post
Nice to see you here again! Hopefully your October was nice and toasty, with lots of pie and other treats!
A major issue that many game developers struggle with is getting detailed feedback. Most of it tends to be vague comments along the lines of "loved/hated it! Do more/less!" That little bit of feedback is helpful, but it doesn't really allow a developer to get into the nuts...

This month's update brings a special new feature! 🌟
As some of you know SNB is, at least in part, inspired by the old "Choose Your Own Adventure" novels from the 80s and 90s. ...and what was the absolute best feature of those books? Why, the horrifyingly overdramatic deaths 2022-10-13 04:55:59 +0000 UTC View Post
August's patch is a small one focused on some technical upgrades. We've switched the engine over to Ren'py 8, and along with it fully implemented Python 3! Not only that, but we've officially switched from using Atom as our IDE over to Visual Studio Cod...

Hello Patroneers~
This is just a short PSA to let you all know we're moving the posting schedule around a bit.
Starting this month, all following patches will be scheduled to post on the 10th.
This is a change of convenience for work schedules, production cycles, and forthcoming changes to work spaces.
Not to spoil any spoilers, but upco...

Does the possibility of being rewarded with a shiny gold sticker sound enticing? How about signing high-priority documents all day? Are you, in fact, terrified of being promoted? 2022-07-11 00:07:42 +0000 UTC View Post
June heralds the onset of Summer, but also - Quality of Life improvements! We've implemented a whole bunch of much requested tweaks and little additions. Also, notably, some terrifying bugs have been properly smashed. Huzzah!
Some of these changes required pretty deep rewrites of ...

Hi everyone!
We've decided to delay our regular patch, meaning February's content will now come in March. We usually work hard to hit our monthly release but covid finally got the team, and then a whole avalanche of other craziness happened. When it rains, it hurricanes? ⛈⛈⛈
With that in mind, we decided a break was needed so everyone can get healthy and recover. Next month ...
You can find our big update for the month and the patch notes here.
See you next month!

This month's patch is a rather strange one, as we have no active content to release for the current beta. Fear not, it's all for a good cause!
The major push this month was on finishing the initial code for our combat system - version 1.0 is now complete! This is h...

It's amazing how storytelling has evolved so much. First there were tales told around the campfire. Then came finger paintings on cave walls. Then we invented the amazing process of scribbling squid juice along plant flesh with the help of a molted bird-hair.
AMAZING!
But those burdensome days of ‘Physical Literature’ are long in ...
