An Update

Time for my semi-annual update! Short but sweet I've decided to relaunch my website, https://nandibearsgames.com/ and gather all my games together in one place. I'm also going to embed those twine games so they can be played without downloading them. 

Playing around I've already added two games on itch.io, The Doll and In HAARMS way, which to my surprise have done pretty well!

The site costs me to keep up, so if you enjoy my stuff please consider a small donation if your able, though as usual, I'll always keep the stuff I do free to play.

Not missed apparently

By the time you read this the web site is now gone, well not gone completely I'm not ready to give everything up yet.

No site, and no Patreon (though stuff is still out there if you look) and apparently no one seems to care either way. Still I shall soldier on, I have irons in the fire so we'll see how things shake out.

Sorry for the feed blip

 Yeah so you might have got a few random old posts showed up, sorry about that I'm trying a site to share my stuff and it went a little hinky (or more not knowing what I'm doing).

Back to basics

 With everything going on you'd think I was giving up game creation, but quite the opposite. But why you ask, imaginary reader, are you shutting down your Patreon and abandoning your site for this simple thing?

Well for one it about money, what I'm putting is vastly more than what I achieve, which is understandable I'm about a decade from being a "big" name in this field. The second is the pressure to provide content for people, not from players who rarely provide feedback of any kind, provide value for money.

By going back to basics I can work on what I want at my own pace without worry about keeping people happy with my work, hopefully, this means I can be productive without worrying about the product.

If you do still want to support me I'm keeping my Ko-Fi open, but times are crazy so I'd understand any reluctance.

Old-Borrowed-Blue

I have a couple of weeks off so I’d thought I’d try something a little different just for you all! Baring weekend, because I need a little me time off, I’m going to be working on three different games, an old game, a conversion of an old game (borrowed) and a new game (blue to fit the theme).

The idea is that as I go I’ll also be sharing thoughts on the process on my Discord channel as I go along, through a special account for the process. Why a new one rather than my normal one? Well to reduce distractions to allow me to focus on the task at hand. It’s not quite a stream, I’m not sure how much I’ll share, but I thought it’d be something interesting to share.

If this is something you’d find interesting it’ll be on my Discord channel, I’m not going to limit or charge but if you do enjoy my stuff consider backing my Patreon or Subscribe Star.

What can I do for you?

So I return to ask the important question, did you miss me?

But importantly what do you want from this site? Is it just my games, those that still remember them, or do my babblings interest you?

And this blog is almost six years down, so I don't plan on giving it completely.

The Doll 0.9 Release

Here's the graphics update of The Doll available to all, as I might have mentioned it all just new prettier graphics to summarize:

• New pictures for all locations, including one new location.

• All major NPCs.

• Characters pictures, including two new ones

Whilst the new location and transformation are included no extra story has been added yet.

The Doll 0.9

Update on the Doll 0.9

For those that can't wait, or just those who wish to support me, my lovely Patreons (though I love you all equally) have access to update. This one is just graphics upgrades but there is an extra location that will become important later.

If you're willing to wait the game link will be posted here in about 3-4 days.

What Again!

I know, I know nothing for almost a year and then a bunch of post in a row! I think I'm just happy to have my mojo back after all that time, and hopefully, it'll keep up but probably with a few fewer posts per week! :D



In case you missed it I'm working on a Redux version of the Doll and the plan is to release it to Patreon before everyone else at TFGames, but I also want to say a little thanks for those of you that follow my blog so I'm also going to start releasing it here as well probably a good 24 hours before everyone else get's their mitts on it.



If this goes well that will be the way I release everything going forwards. And it doesn't need to be said but everything I make will always be free for everyone, I'm never going to keep anything as an exclusive to anyone.

Silence ain't Golden!

It's early days but the simple fact of people reacting, positively, to an old game of mine has rekindled something I've been struggling with for some kind. Don't worry it's not some sordid tale of woe, just things taking up my time and energy.

My wilderness years has given me one important insight, however, the importance of communication between myself and those that are interested in what I do and write. It is, however, a two-way street so please don't hesitate to contact me with any comments suggestions and even general encouragement. Despite what you'd expect I'm happy to hear about what you like in one of my games even if it's years old at this point. I'll even accept criticism, though I'd ask for it to be positive constructive criticism.

Surprise!

So here's my annual "not dead yet!" post! Not sure if anyone really bothers to read these things, but I'd be interested to find out if anyone is still here!

For those who are here's a very, very early thing I've been working on, an update of a classic (read old) game of mine. Though I have to warn you its done in (gasp) Twine!

All dolled up?

Tumblin'

Not sure if this is going to be a regular thing, or even a one and done, but I've shared a few images from How I got Promoted, which somehow I forgot to share here (that's now fixed), on Tumblr.

My tiny tumblr can be found here.

Time to start again!

No really it's me!

Time might be good for me to start creating something again, though obviously no promises, for now I want to start fresh with a completely new idea.

So a simple question what do people want from me?

TG-22

I've been waiting till I've had something created before posting, but as i've not created anything I've not posted. And then lots of months go by.

My brain is whirling with idea, which is good, I just need to sit down and do something with them!

Patreon Beginner

So I'm playing around with trying for community support, so I created a Patreon with details of the idea I'm going to create throughout the year.
I'm not going to ask for money until I have games to show for it, not that I'm going to stop you donating, but I'm curious as to peoples view on such things.

The Patreon can be found here.

One of us!

So I finally took the plunge and converted and old game over to Twine Fallin' for Paradise (clean version).
Don't panic I'm not planning to abandon RAGS anytime soon, though I must admit I was impressed how much I could manage in an afternoon from virtually scratch.

I is three!

No Lie

So a new year and a new round of vague promises. Oh and a new home all of my own. Whilst I'll keep both updated for now my original site is doomed, doomed I tell you!

I hope to actually produce new content this year, even if it's from old ideas, and I've already got ideas floating around.

Not quite done yet

Sleep, such lovely sleep how I love you :).

I'm still surprised by how much people still seem interested in what I've done, even though I've done nothing new in about a year. But despite that I'm not quite ready to give on this completely, just waiting on thew muse and time to coincide with each other.

Can do better

It's a common thing but I have read something today that has left me disappointed. Something with so much potential just ended like that, as if the writer got bored with the whole thing and just ended.

Which is blegh!

So I'm considering something impossible creating something new! Early days so don't get any hopes up just yet.
