What’s new, Fallers? Once again there isn’t much to report this time around, so instead I’m going to officially make an announcement regarding something I’ve been asked more than a few times:

“I want to make my own PinesQuest-style Gravity Falls game! Can I have the tile sets/sprites/assets/etc?”

All sprites, tile sets, and graphical assets from both the original PinesQuest AND PinesQuest 2D will be made freely available to download on June 18th, 2017 (the same day as PQ2D’s full version release), with a couple of exceptions; the tile sets and other assets for PQ2D’s 10th and 11th dungeons (which are new locations that do not appear in the Gravity Falls TV series), along with sprites of any new characters who were created for PQ2D (A. Tad Square, [REDACTED], etc) will not be included, as I want these elements to stay exclusive to my own game.

Now before you respond by saying “Whaaat?! That’s too far away! Why can’t I have them sooner?” - You CAN! I am currently providing all the original PinesQuest and many of the PinesQuest 2D tile sets/sprites/assets to anyone helping me create new assets for PQ2D. So if you want them now, all you need to do is lend me a hand with making some new assets! The two types of new assets currently most needed are dungeon tile sets and object sprites.

However to ensure someone doesn’t agree to volunteer then run off with the assets, never helping me in return, volunteers will be given a deadline for what I ask them to help me with. If a volunteer misses their deadline and does not stay in contact with me regarding any issues that may cause them to need more time, this exclusive access may be revoked.

Anyone interested in volunteering can send an email to [email protected] with the subject “PQ2D volunteering”! Please keep in mind, I’m not restricting access to the PQ/2D assets to volunteers only for any reason other than to provide incentive for others to help me with the game, better ensuring that I will be able to release the full game on time next June. It’s all for the sake of getting the finished game out to everyone sooner and better! While all volunteers need to contribute something, I’m going to leave it up to the volunteers themselves how much they’d like to help. If you volunteer, you can make multiple tile sets or just a single object sprite and still get early access to the PQ/2D assets! Every little bit helps and I appreciate any contribution whatsoever, no matter how small! So don’t worry if you don’t think you have the time or skill to make something really elaborate for me - I’ll be perfectly satisfied with and thankful for anything you can provide!

That’s all for now! Happy October and remember to stay weird this Halloween and always! <3
