Studio Sim Gallery and A Fools Art Gallery have decided to package our games as a bundle with a 50% discount on both titles. A Pre Massive Update Sale if you will. Studio Sim Gallery is a strange game that provides you a space to make your own crazy art, and share it online, with
I am still alive and working on the massive update. Life sent me on a side quest for a few months and then Steam stopped supporting Windows 7 browsers in a bunch of what looks like java scripts, so I couldnt write any updates for awhile because I am too lazy to set up my account
Okay, I think this is the final stretch for this update, my imagination has been utterly drained over the last year, into the next patch. Adding bespoke, hand crafted, artisnal psychedelic experiences to wander around inside of, based on authentic psychedelic experiences as seen
Hello again, I am still here; things are still progressing. I've had to switch jobs a couple times, and once again find myself unemployed, as is the life of Canadians now; but work on the update has continued and spiralled completely out of control. The goal is to add all the thi
Achievements have been requested a couple times now, and they are something I have wanted to add for increased interaction with the Gallery. So far I have one option for sure, it's a convoluted process, and fairly technical but I think I can deal with it and get it to work (Finge
I got a job, the update is ready for release, to a degree; it was ready for if I ended up becoming a hobo to be released in a finished enough state; however since I now have a job and am returning to a "stable life" (As stable as you can be in Modern Day Canada.) I would like to
Hello again, the update is being polished up for release, I hope to get it out in the next month. The Canadian government has a program called the "Welcoming Newcomers Wage Subsidy Program"; this program gives Canadian businesses $10,000 a year per newcomer that they hire. I make
Hello again! I quit my job because it turned out to be an evil credit usery debt enslavement company, which made me too mad to function at it; I would rather be homeless than make those vampires any cash off the hardwork of Canadian small and medium size businesses. Thankfully mo
I am not dead. I secured a job, so won't be homeless yet. (Knock on wood.) Althogh I secretly fantasize about having no choice but to go walking through the woods living in a godly fashiuon with the birbs, like a weird wandering wizard hermit guy, and grow a big long shaggy beard
Got my PC fixed, something went wrong with the RAM, it was the one thing I didn't check, it just had to be reseated. A few days later my main SSD died randomly, never believe the hype about SSDs. They have a short life span and give no warning of their impending doom, I lost abou
My PC power supply died (or something); so the next update is going to be delayed a bit. It is really close to being completed. The main delay was caused by the whale animation; originally planned as a 3 frame animation, so 15 frames for all rotation views, it turned into 45 fram
This is not the next update as planned; it's a massive over haul of the assets. While looking into optimizations to get the frame rate hammered out even more, it became apparent I had saved ... A lot... Of the Sprites and textures I made at 300 DPI; an old habit from back when we
I have really been wanting to show this off more but am trying to keep it under wraps also; and I really need to install Linux to avoid Steam cutting off my Windows 7 machine, so might not have this finished in the next few days due to any potential Linux drama during set up. If
The update with some new content was taking longer than expected, so this update adds the rotating light at the Light House secret area, it adds a lot to the over all atmosphere so I wanted to get it out ASAP. Normally I don't do tiny updates like this, but It's for the aesthetic
Yesterday I accidentally figured out how to make a rotating light finally, as the GZDOOM engine just does not do that, at all. It's in the Light House Scene and really adds to the atmosphere, so I wanted to make sure it was in the demo as well for anyone who found the Light House
Added some variety to the human NPCs, animated a loop for each one that has them looking around. Optimization of a few more textures too.
Made some variations of the NPCs, giving a bit more life to the environment around the player. There are 4 in total, and now all the human NPCs look around as part of their animation looks. I am probably going to add this look around loop to the flying masks too, but only thought
Optimized the hell out of almost all the textures that needed to be; this improves performance on lower end machines and frees up video RAM for future content expansion. Because the Gallery is made up of so many unique textures, one for each piece; it's a bit of a different beast
Update: Fixed it finally this evening, Win 10 calls up the config file differently than Win 7, and via Steam it has to be set up ON Steam, not ON or in or part of the actual boot up files/called from inside the game. So now Windows 10 and probably 11 users will start up with the
I finished up trimming the Gallery up into a demo file, it has the secret areas, some art to look at and all the current NPCs. It won't have any future NPCs, the larger secret areas, and what not. It gives a good idea of the Art Gallery for gamers to see and experience a bit; bec
