Tentacle GO video + Important information

Hey there everybody! Thanks for sitting tight since the v.23 release. I have a few things to post today.

First off, the promised public video release of the Tentacle Game Over scene. I have no idea if this video will be pulled or not, but with any luck they won't care about it and it'll stay up - go ahead and check it out here!

This is pretty much how every Game Over scene in the game will play out, sort of a faux-Visual Novel style with still CGs and simple effects. In the most recent release (v.23), there are 3 of them; Tentacles, Slimes, and Warped Soldiers.


Second, I have some unfortunate information to share.

One of my long-time patrons came to me recently and asked why he hadn't received the latest update after it came out, since I promised to give the update to everyone who had pledged enough during the few months with no updates. I had already sent out the update to everyone, so I was just as confused as he was. After looking into things, it turns out that Patreon recently changed their systems, and added the most amazingly idiotic 'feature' I've ever seen - when a patron cancels their pledge, every piece of information relating to them is PERMANENTLY REMOVED from my Patron Manager. This means that I have no fucking records of everyone who has pledged to me over the past two years, except for those people who are pledged right now. I've already gotten in contact with Patreon support about this but I'm still waiting on a reply to see if they have any way to help. I'm writing down every bit of information I can find about people who are pledged, but there are undoubtedly scores of people I'm missing.

If you've pledged to me at ANY point in time, PLEASE find a way to take a screenshot proving that you've donated at least $10 total throughout development, and either email or PM it to me, along with the email you want your eventual copy of the game sent to. I desperately want to fulfill my promise of free copies of the game to any of you who have supported me that much, and I'll be writing down pledges as often as I can going forward so this can't screw my plans over again, but as of now, I have no way to get a list of everyone who has pledged in the past anymore.

For contact, you can either reach me by PM on ULMF, or at my work email: ms.anon42@gmail.com
Please send proof of your previous pledges, as well as the email you want me to write down to send the eventual full release to!


Now that that's out of the way, there's only one question left: I wonder who this lady is..?

  1. That's certainly strange - while the "All current Patrons" list indeed stops showing any Patrons the moment they cancel, the list for particular month (like "July 2016 Patron supported") always shows only the ones who pledged that month, regardless of whether they still continue or not - at least in our case :) So it definitely seems like your account-specific error rather than a Patreon-wide "feature".

    1. One way or another, this is a really strange issue - and if it doesn't get fixed up then it's definitely going to be problematic for me going forward. Hopefully it is just a bug in the system and they can make everything better soon enough.

    1. What? What do the things the person in the last post said have to do with anything I said in this post? I'm genuinely confused by what you're trying to get at here.

  3. Hmph, well it´s not like we "comoners" are allowed to try out the new demos = ( (tiffed)

  4. I just tested the demo and, Even when I really like a metroidvania, the demo appear to be very alpha, many empty rooms, enemies too small to shoot, and no title screen, or intro cutscene. I noticed it is the version 13 and you are on version 23 so I presume some of these problem were already reported and solved, but I can't say the demo is that atractive as it is now. Maybe if you update it a little it would attract more people.

    1. Almost, but no, I'm still alive. I don't check up here much, sorry. The hate from comments in the last few posts was pretty overwhelming. Hard to want to keep updating somewhere that only gives you anger and accusations in return.

  6. All I know is that those people are just salty cucks that you don't have a full release for a porn game to get their rocks off too. I think it's great so far, and you made wonderful progress. I would love if you continued to make said progress.
