Hey everyone,

As some of you may already know, I'm going to be taking the next month off to rest, recuperate, learn some new skills and tinker with some other project ideas.

As such, billing for my Patreon pages has been paused until the 25th of June. No-one will be charged on the first of the month, though new members signing up will still be charged for their initial pledge. I'm not entirely sure if I'll be streaming in that time either, but I'll likely still be posting and I am certainly around if people need to shoot me questions.

But until June, work continues!

Thanks everyone.

Hey all!

Just letting you know that I've just finished a new demo for Prysm, which contains her completed bossfight, excluding the QTE sequence. It's available for superhero tier supporters of my secondary Patreon page (https://www.patreon.com/SquashedFlatSecondary), and can be downloaded by them from my discord server.

In addition, I'm going on holiday for a few weeks! I'll be back to streaming on the 11th of November, and will be out of contact for that time. However I do plan to leave you all with a little gift before I go...

But that's for tomorrow.

Later y'all!

Hey everyone,

Just a bit burnt out at the moment, so I won't be streaming Thursday or Friday this week. I'll be back into things on Monday but for now I just need a few days to myself to unwind.

Thanks,

-SF

Hey everyone!

Just letting you know that Prysm's first Patreon demo is now available on my Secondary Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/SquashedFlatSecondary

As usual for a first demo it's a bit of a proof-of-concept for her, but it does contain 5 KOs, a completed game over animation/screen, and a decent amount of kink content. She's a little rough around the edges, especially as I'm doing her bossfight in a different style to Megalith's, but I hope you enjoy her if you give her a try.

Thanks!

-SF

Hey everyone!

So, that's Molly done and that's Texas in Trouble complete! I hope people won't begrudge me this but I'm going to take the week off from streaming, then dive back in next week with Time Wolf!

I am... very exhausted, heh.

Take care y'all!

...hopefully.

Hey, been a while since I've done an update. I have just finished everything surrounding Molly except for her gallery. She has two secret game overs and a bit of a level sequence (though with no enemies) before her fight, as well as cutscenes before and after.

I've uploaded what I have so far to Patreon, so if you're in the $12 tier feel free to check that out. Consider it an early preview before everyone else gets it next week.

I have also started work on my next game project, Time Wolf 2. If you are a supporter and are in the Discord server, you likely will have seen some of the sprites for that. There is currently a busty wolfess and a bunch of dinosaur designs. I'm particularly happy with the fatassed raptor.

But that's all for now! Expect the public Molly release (and the final release of Texas in Trouble) to be posted on here, FA and DA by the end of the week, and I hope you all enjoy it when you play it!

Thanks everyone!

Hey everyone!

Been a while since I've updated people on what's happening, so here goes:

The QK demo for the second level has just been released this week, though at the moment it only has one of its game over screens. I'm planning to do the rest soon, and at the same time try to get a public release of the Megalith content out. Also I'm currently working on a whole lot of animations of Molly tormenting Texas, which will be implemented... at some point. Presumably!

In other news, there will be no streams this week. I am very burnt out and need to take some time to recover. Streams will resume on the 4th of September, with a new start time of 9am AEST - an hour later than they currently start. Just going to experiment to see if this makes a difference. We'll see if the change sticks.

And I think that's it? Molly progress continues, QK should have a public Megalith demo (hopefully) out soonish, and thank you all for your continued support!

-SF

Hey everyone!

Firstly, the new demo for Megalith has just gone live over on Patreon. This is the full fight, complete with all of her game over animations and screens, and I hope you all enjoy it if you give it a go.

Secondly, I have recently switched to using a Discord server for hosting my Patreon content, something I've been considering for a while but have been a bit apprehensive of. However, the changeover has been surprisingly smooth so far, so now all future rewards will be delivered through that server. If you are currently a patron of mine, you will need to change to one of the new tiers that has the Discord rewards listed, and have a linked Discord account. The Patreon bot should do the rest, but if you have any issues, just drop me a message. The old tiers will no longer be receiving content updates.

Thanks everyone! I hope you enjoy the demo if you play, and let me know what you think.

Hey everyone,

My computer is bricc'd. SSD has died (Again. This is the second one this PC has fried in the time I've had it). I haven't had any luck fixing it so far, so I guess I need to go buy one tomorrow and do a fresh Windows install. Hopefully even if I can't boot off the SSD I can still recover files from it.

Though in case you are worried, I automatically backup both my game projects to Dropbox (and they're not on the corrupt drive anyway), so the games are safe. No worries there. I might just have to reinstall a whole bunch of software when all's said and done.

Probably goes without saying, but it's unlikely that I'll stream tomorrow unless I get this fixed.

Thanks everyone

-SF

Hey everyone,

No stream on Tuesday/Thursday of this week. As is customary after I post a game demo to Patreon, I'll be taking the week off on the related project. Also Thursday is Australia Day, a public holiday in Australia, so I wouldn't be here anyway. Things have just lined up nicely!

I'll still be streaming Texas content on Wednesday and Friday as usual. We're working on Molly at this point, and the beginnings of her own bossfight.

Thanks!

-SF

Hey everyone,

I am feeling incredibly unwell at the moment, so am going to go see a doctor tomorrow instead of streaming. I'll try to stream on Tuesday as usual, once I have some meds in me.

Take care,

-SF

Hey everyone!

Sorry for the rather interrupted stream schedule recently, it's been a heck of a time with family emergencies on top of general Christmas busyness. Unfortunately tomorrow we have an electrician coming to the house, so I'll be without power for a few hours... almost exactly the hours I stream in, to be precise.

I'll still try to get some game work done on my laptop, but it will very much be side-stuff. I really need my main PC to work on it and I'll be without. But even without this setback, I do still think I am on course to have this version of the game finished and complete before Christmas. There's really just the credits left to do, and they're already half done.

Anyway, thanks for bearing with these interruptions, and I hope you all have a stress-free leadup to Christmas.

Take care!

-SF

Hey everyone,

I've been run a bit ragged recently, so just going to take some time to catch my breath tomorrow. Streams will resume on Thursday as normal (And maybe something special will be posted in the meantime...)

Thanks everyone!

Hey everyone!

I am going to be away for three weeks while a friend visits me, so there'll be no streams for that time on my end. For those who support me on either of my Patreons, I have suspended them both so that you won't be charged on November 1st (Charge Up Front is still enabled though, so any new patrons will be charged the initial charge, as normal.) I will be back on the 10th of November to continue working as normal.

Thanks!

-SF

Hey everyone,

No stream from me today, I'm afraid. I've got a few bits of off-stream work I've been neglecting and need to catch up on, so I'll be spending the morning doing that instead. Streaming as normal tomorrow, and continuing the QTE animation for Megalith.

Thanks!

-SF

Hi there!

Just updating my featured journal now that I have the second Patreon page with all the details of where you can find me. I also want to reiterate that all the game projects I work on will be released for free to the public when they're done, so you never have to worry about missing out on content. That being said, I am so unbelievably grateful for all the support you've given me. It's utterly insane to me that I can make a living doing what I do, and it's all due to this community's support. Thank you all so, SO much!

Primary Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/SquashedFlat

This is the page for my current main project, which I work on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I offer updates, polls, all the .gifs I've completed and any playable demos between public releases here. The only thing I don't post, to keep them a surprise, are the Game Over screens. At the time of writing this is where you can support Texas in Trouble, but after I have completed the final boss fight (and the secret boss fight I have planned), the next main project developed on this page will be Time Wolf 2.

Secondary Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/SquashedFlatSecondary

This is the page for my current secondary project, which I work on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The content offered here is the same as on the primary page: Updates, .gifs and demos when complete. The original idea was to make the secondary projects simpler than the main ones, but... it hasn't really worked out that way at all. The current project on this page is Quantum Knight, which is a long way from completion, so I won't speculate on what will come after it.

Streams: https://picarto.tv/SquashedFlat

I now stream Monday-Friday at 9:05am AEST, and all of my streams can be found at that link. If you ever want to check in on how the game's going, chat, or just drop in and say hi, everyone is welcome! Typically I stream alongside  Kazecat and  Luke8t88, both of whom are working on their own game projects. So even if I'm doing boring coding on my stream, you can count on one of them to pick up the slack! The streams tend to be pretty quiet and relaxed, so feel free to drop by and hang out if you feel like it.

Aside from this, you can find me on Deviantart under the same name, and on Twitter as @ FlatSquashed (though admittedly I'm not hugely active there). If you're looking to get in contact with me, your best bet is to send me a note through either FA or DA. Please don't try to contact me on Discord if you're not already on my friends' list, I, unfortunately, do tend to ignore those messages.

Thank you for your time!

-SF

Howdy y'all!

Just letting you know that I have a dentist's appointment early tomorrow morning during my usual stream time, so I'm afraid I'll either be very late to start (an hour or two), or possibly not streaming at all, depending on how it goes.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

-SF.

Hey everyone,

Just letting you know that I will be out of town from the 10th to the 16th, so there won't be any streams from me next week. Back to the regularly scheduled content on the 19th though, so I'll see you all then.

Take care!

-SF

Howdy y'all!

The first demo of the Macro Roxxie fight has just gone live on Patreon. Most of her particularly fetishy moves and grabs aren't in yet, but it does feature a fair amount of weasel flattening, three game overs, and a whole lot of roo ass.

But, as is standard when I release a demo, I am going to take the next week off streaming. Typically I either spend the week fixing any reported bugs or take the week off, but with surprisingly few issues having been reported, I'm going to opt for the latter. Also I really burnt myself out coding this damn giant roo, so I'd quite like to take the time to recover.

Streams will return as normal next Wednesday, and until then, I hope that all of you who try the demo enjoy the giant Roxxie.

Take care everyone!

Hey everyone.

I am currently in exquisite agony from a nasty ear infection, even with painkillers, and got very little sleep last night because of it, so I'm going to go ahead and skip streaming today, sorry. Hopefully with some better painkillers I can get back into things tomorrow.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the short notice, but I did not manage to get ANY sleep last night, and I am shatteringly tired. So no stream today, I'm afraid. I hope to see you all tomorrow instead.

Thanks,

-SF

With the end of the second competition, I'm ready to announce the winners! Just like last year, there was a wealth of excellent additions, and I would like to congratulate each and every one of you that entered. This was not an easy choice to make by a long stretch, with little but personal preference separating the top contenders, but in the end, these are our three winners!

3rd Place: Vairos, with this chapter (https://chyoa.com/chapter/Texas-str.....End%29.1083085) a rather unique and somewhat dark ending for the sheriff, which Vairos nonetheless managed to play off with a comical air at the end, and some rather foul air for Texas! A very humiliating, nasty end for the weasel.

2nd Place: FlattenedFan, for this chapter (https://chyoa.com/chapter/%5BEnd%5D.....-Sniff.1082033) Honestly I'd very much recommend going back a page or two and reading the sequence from the start, because it contains some very fun taunting and an almost peril-like setup of Texas failing to escape in time. But as the judging criteria is for only one chapter it has to be this one, for its delicious squishing, delightful dialogue, and inventive use of 'Pop Goes The Weasel'.

1st Place: TopHatHorse, with their splendid addition (https://chyoa.com/chapter/Let-it-ri.....END%29.1082347). Their whole storyline has a great premise behind it, (though I must warn you that the bad ends get *VERY* adult after that point), but with butt-slams from Jesse and Jane and Butterscotch, and a unique, supremely cartoony ending for the sheriff, this one definitely takes the cake. And with it, first place!

And those are our winners! Congratulations to them all. I'll be getting in contact with them soon to discuss their prizes, and for those of you who missed out this time, don't worry, I definitely plan to hold more of these in future! Thank you so much to everyone who participated and helped to expand the Texas interactive, as well as expand the myriad ways that Texas has been crushed, gassed, dominated and humiliated! This has been an excellent competition this year, and a strong benchmark for those to come!

That's it! The competition is now closed!

Thank you to everyone who entered! I'll take a day or two to re-read all of the entries, and then announce the winners! There were a lot of fantastic entries this time around, so it's going to be hard to pick just three, really, but that's sadly the way it has to be. Good luck to you all, and keep your eyes peeled for the announcement post!

Hey everyone!

I've been trying to get into the habit of releasing a game demo, using the following week to fix the slew of bugs that inevitably follows, then taking the week after that off, but with very few and very minor bugs being reported this time around, I have little to do this week. As such, I'll be taking this week off instead, and hopefully using the time to work on the prized from the competition, and be back to streaming next week.

Take care everyone!

Howdy all!

Just wanted to remind you all that there are less than three days left remaining in the competition! There have been some really great additions so far, but there's still time left for a chapter to usurp them and take first place! The competition will end at 11:59 on Monday the 31st, Australian Eastern Daylight Time, so if you're wanting to enter, be sure to have your chapters in by then!

Good luck!

-SF
