Simply Mindy: The Non-Hiatus

Hey hey. This affects you guys less, but it's still important. I've been working on the finale of Simply Mindy for the last month, and though the due date is still five days away I'm almost 100% confident that the ending will not be complete on time. I got a new puppy and he's eating up huge chunks of my days, and until he becomes a bit less clingy I won't be getting as much work done as usual.

I don't know when I'm going to get the finale done exactly, but I anticipate somewhere in mid-May. Don't quote me on that. This means that new freebie builds for Simply Mindy are also on hold for the moment. So don't hold your breath on new ones here for a little bit.

I've also made the decision to pause my Patreon for the month of May. I want to take some pressure off to get the game done in a timely fashion and do it right rather than adhering to a strict schedule. So if you were planning on contributing to Patreon soon... well, you should wait until June. It'll reactivate then.

Now, as a small teaser for the finale...


... it's going to be a bit different from the normal game. A bit. But also quite expansive, so hopefully worth the wait.

Simply Mindy 3.2.0 / 3.4.0 Fuckup

Goddamn. The last week and a bit was fucking ridiculous. But more on that in a bit.

3.2.0

Sound! 3.2.0 adds a flurry of new sound effects to the game, including the following:

- Music tracks for all situations, some created by me, some by another dude whom I paid;
- More moans for Mindy;
- Alternate moans for the other girls;
- Sound effects for spells and attacks; and
- A few other small audio touches.

Please bear in mind that Stencyl is a little touchy with looping MP3s, so the loops are not perfect. I'm still workin' on 'em. Nevertheless, it's amazing how much the experience changes when the game has proper sounds plugged in.


3.4.0

Ever have one of those weeks where nothing goes right?

Well. Last week wasn't quite one of those weeks - I now have a puppy, and he's too awesome to be wrong - but everything else went tits-up. I was forced to puppy-proof my apartment way earlier than normal, my wife got mugged, we needed to get her a new phone, jackasses at my IP got an internet upgrade appointment very wrong... and, to cap it all off, my goddamned computer died on Sunday. Yes, the one I use to make Simply Mindy. I've been using my wife's computer all damned week.

Bad week. But good puppy. So... conflicted.

Anyway. Rather than doing a build I decided to just focus on animated .gifs this week, which was part of my plan for the build anyway, and finish up the schooling and job animations. Throw $2 at my Patreon and you get access to thirteen brand-new sexy-sexy animations. And, when I do get the build up (probably on Monday, when my laptop is slated to arrive - did I mention that the fucking post office was a week late delivering my package?), you'll get that! Seems win-win to me, honestly.
