so its been like 7 months since the last update and that was just a teaser for something ill let you guys figure out. i feel kinda bad because ive done a lot for the game and yet ive barely kept you guys updated on anything so id like to give a run down of things i guess and show off some stuff though not much

Whats been going on?
ill get to the point, snams gone through dev hell and has been overhauled from the start like 15 times at this point (exaggerating it was actually like 3 or 4 times.) and some times straight up didnt work on it for months. for example the game was overhauled for the last (and final) time in early 2022 but stuff happened that year in my personal life and my motivation was on the dumps. all that was done that year was some promotional and seasonal stuff and like half of a room. 2023 however was a little more hopeful as all rooms and cams were finished y the start of the year plus toad and peach were all completed with luigi and endoc underway (mario too lol), a lot of lore was rewritten or added which i am happy with currently, however as much as i wanted to code was a little slow as im lazy and kinda scared to code and mess up something. however recently that motivation has gotten restored as much of the office,cams and other miscellaneous things are complete, i want to say the game could come out y the years end however i will have to see realistically my goal is to have it 80-90% done at the very least and well go on from there.

Progress
something i promised on this post due to the fact development was closed for so long and the gamejolt page kinda feels like that one spongebob gif of him and squidward working as skeletons lol. so while i finalize drawings and add code here are some things ive done (elements of the hud may have been removed from certain images for testing purpose or to keep surprises) with that said....

The office!

first time i reveal the office here on gamejolt and honesty happy to finally do so, this took a while and honestly im very proud of it, the doors and lights work and im currently testing out the power and usage system while other things such as cams get made, although with that said this is most likely the least decorated or referential room of the whole location however it makes up for it due to the fact its crowded with stuff lol.

yes you can honk the nose its already coded in ;)

The Show Stage!.. again.

youve seen it already however some things were changed such as marios head and a more smooth toad and peach thats really it lol. take a look at it i guess however its largely the same... yay :D

Pushed to the side... once again...

with Luigi taking up the foxy role i just HAD to make the cove the mansion, and have its surroundings take a little inspiration from the LM games, i can assure you though despite it looking the same and having pirate attire, his mechanic is different from foxy's. This was actually the first time i ever drew Luigi’s little cove mansion thingie, before in previous versions i had NEVER drawn it for some reason but now i did and im honestly proud of it despite being my first attempt. All of his poses here are drawn too, Luigi was a fun one to make.

wonder if he leaves often.

The toads welcome you.... seriously its the entrance room

first room aside from the show stage to get completed for the game the entrance room! with your waiter.. toadette? forgot to introduce her sorry! The last and final character introduced for the game. Shes the waiter of the building seating patrons and arranging birthdays. She doesn't really leave her place and she’s not really a threat but her reaction changes depending on who or what enters this room so have fun seeing all her expressions! as for toad however... looks like he has ulterior motives to that wave... wouldn't trust him if i were you.

woah look at those drawings kids are talented these days

Employees only!... and animatronics too

fun fact just yesterday i had to redraw peach’s hand cus it was drawn in reverse, silly me. i guess
the most easter egg packed room as of now although peach is covering some, the break room. right outside your office.. and they don't look so friendly. you might be in danger. This room is kinda funny because i didn't really know what i wanted it to be until last minute, It would go from a party room to break room and back and forth but ultimately you can see what i decided on. Theres a party room but this camera fit the break room vibe better.

try to find what all the other posters are referencing ;)

Closing thoughts
i'll make this quick as i wanna go to sleep, ill schedule this post for tomorrow. yeah. games going good so far (fr this time.) and uuuuuuuh heres that long overdue update you guys all deserve. i seriously hope i can make this game worth the wait since its 4 years overdue at this point. im not really good at writing these articles or closing them so i guess ill just leave it here for now.
until the next devlog/update hopefully ill have more to show by then but until then...
bye bye!
