It's my very greatest pleasure to announce the project I've been working on the past year: Tascots! The Make-Your-Own Desktop Pet Game! Say hello to our little queen, Button the Mouse.

Some more refinement to our patented explosive fruit product, which is now 200% more likely to trigger a massive chain-reaction. Your Tascot will be fine. Probably. #tascots #godot

Here at Tascots our oranges are packed with an *explosive* amount of nutrients

(after coding for 8 months straight) oh yeah i have stuff to animate still

Working on the framework for "Scenarios"! These are dev-authored events that can happen, such as an 'Aggressive' Tascot picking a fight with another Tascot. Don't write checks your ass can't cash, Button!

Sometimes a Tascot can get in the way of what's important, so I've added a feature to drag them around 🫸

Proud of your Tascot Membership? You can save your ID card to your desktop as a hi-res printable PNG! Please do not press your cheeks against the screen, it doesn't work like that.

A rare squeek behind the scenes of Tascots development

Want to use your Tascot as a vtuber? just want to jump around your desktop? maybe pour a little water in the circuits? Good news! With our handy dandy UBIND system, you can assign Tascot-specific input binds to specifically-defined animations!

*furiously taking notes*

Looks like an incredible tool to help you develop Tascot sprites! Incredible work!! 👏👏

SORRY, I CAN'T HEAR YOU, I'M TESTING THE MICROPHONE SENSOR YOU'LL HAVE TO TYPE LOUDER

If Yuri's your thing, give my lovely friend's VN a wishlist! You won't regret it 🤌

Plucking away at a fully-customizable key bind menu and controller support... Including separate binds for keyboard and controller as well as support for two-button inputs and specific-controller binding! This one's for the control freaks out there 🫶

Not the only one Playing Tascots on your computer? Have a secret alter-ego? Have a Tascots mad at you and don't like confrontation? Well good news! Tascots supports up to 5 Player slots! #tascots #godot

The new Member ID menu is underway! This time around I designed it to feel much more like a legitimate membership card -- "Here at Tascots, you're family! 🫵😀👍" There'll even be a "printout" option that will save out a hi-res png of your card! #tascots #godot

Here at Tascots, we want your experience to be as flexible as possible. So if you want to ~set the scene~ (or stream without exposing your desktop) you can now set a Wallpaper of your choosing! You can even upload your own custom ones! (as demonstrated by the maplestory bg) #tascots #godot

After TascotMaker2's triumphant release, I've been cleaning up system code, revamping the main/settings menus and adding support for multiple monitors! I'm also implementing full window options, so you can technically run Tascots in a small floating window if you want it to be more tamagotchi style

I finally hit upon a setup that has allowed me to migrate Tascots from Godot 3.2 to 3.6 and the performance boost has been huge! I'm so happy I could bury Button in fifty chairs!

Shoutout to my lovely backers who have helped me already push 5 hotfixes to get this release in order! TascotMaker2 is available to backers now at ko-fi.com/urlgrae, and features a plethora of new features to customize your very own Desktop Pet! #tascots #godot

As a refresher on how Tascots works: - Tascots are saved in a singular .tascot file that can be freely shared with others (just put it in the game's custom_tascots folder) - Same goes for custom Dialogs! - I don't upload, store, or claim ownership of your Tascot in any capacity. Your work is yours!

After 7 months of work, The TM2 build for Tascots will be releasing for backers this weekend! 🎉 bogos binted soon 👽 #godot #tascots

Watch your back! You can tag Tascots as 'edible' as well as make them 'hunters'! This allows you to craft your own ecosystem of food! (Or just Tascots with a Very Specific Diet) #tascots #godot

Shoutout to all my trans friends, followers, backers, and complete strangers 🫶 This world is better with you in it.

After 6 months of development the TascotMaker2 editor is finally being put into place and it looks beautiful! Can't wait for my lovely backers to get a chance to finally play with it 🤌✨ #godot #tascots

that latest tascots post sponsored by vinny vinesauce because i forgot I had his stream running in the background when i recorded that

With a new TascotMaker done, you need a shiny new TascotPicker to match! This new menu can parse and preview both old backer-beta Tascots as well as the shiny new 2.0 versions! You can also ctrl-click to select multiple Tascots to spawn at a time! #tascots #godot

spit shining TascotMaker2 tonight, it's going well but I'm running out of spit

the feeling of every muscle on your bones liquifying when your new save/load loop finally works... 😏 someone please help me i can't move my bones anymore oh my god

I made a minimal repo of my Seamless Fullscreen Clickthrough setup, using my chromakey window style technique! github.com/Harpeaux/Chr... works in #Godot 4.5+ Mono! Have fun!

Unfortunately Tascots is waaay too far along to migrate to 4+ now... I might try some time in the far future but for now I am sadly stuck in the prehistoric world of 3.2.1... 🦖

Proud of your Tascot? Then be sure to sign your work! (or don't that's fine I'm not mad) #tascots #godot

Been putting in a little more work on my TwitchIRC plugin! 1.1 now (actually, correctly) parses Twitch's USERNOTICE events! (raids, charity, subs, gifts, etc) I also made some funcs to push your own fake messages and events (either for testing or gameplay purposes) github.com/Harpeaux/Twi...
