Heya folks! It has been about a month, so you have to hear me yap about the month again! This month’s newsletter you can look forward to: more Anam Chara: Branching Time updates, A new addition to the Milkboy Games team, and an aftertaste of a Milkboy Games classic!
Branching Progress
Anam Chara: Branching Time’s rules are 98% complete, and layout and design is getting started on the concept phase! I have big visions for this one, I think it’s going to be really special! This game will be a grand adventure across time, with plenty of twists, turns, and growth. Your friends will be by your side in every lifetime as you create a shattered timeline! If you haven’t already, you can go read last month’s newsletter for a bigger look into Anam Chara: Branching Time!
A New Face Joins The Team!
Some of you may have seen my call for an artist to join Milkboy Games as a full 50/50 partner. Well, someone has taken up that call! I’d like to introduce y’all to Milkboy Games’ artist: Absentia!
A blue skinned woman with red hair, bangs, ans hair on both sides of her head. Two little grey horns poke out of the top of her head. She has yellow eyes. She is holding a big round costume head that is of her head. She wears a white button up shirt with a green tie. She has a black shoulder-less jacket. She wears a long brown skirt with a sword at her hip.
Above is a little taste of Absentia’s art, you’ll be seeing more of it as we put out more games! I am very excited to be working with her! She’s going to be helping me immensely to put out more full and finished games! We are currently working together to finish “You Are Not A Hero: But Neither Are They”, a game I teased all the way back in my January 2025 Newsletter! (can you believe how time flies?) YNAH has been stuck in limbo for around a year, pretty much finished, but without any art to put into it. With The Boys, the show that this game is based on, officially being over as of this month, this game is long overdue to release. “You Are Not A Hero: But Neither Are They” is a game about being normal humans taking down corrupt super heroes.
Absentia has been hard at work bringing this game to life, and she’s going to be integral for releasing other games that have been stuck in limbo due to lack of art. Go check her out at https://bsky.app/profile/sinland.gay ! Give her art some love! (She also makes games as well!)
Let Me Be Your Thrall: Aftertaste
This month was Let Me Be Your Thrall’s 1 year anniversary! For such a special occasion I decided to run the Let Me Be Your “Jam”’ Jam 2 , a Jam for making games with the Let Me Be Your [Blank] System. As of the time of writing, there’s still 20 day left for the jam, so go check that out if you’re interested.
For this jam, I started working on “Let Me Be Your Thrall: Aftertaste”, an expansion (sequel?) to the original Let Me Be Your Thrall! I’m already about 80% of the way done the 1st draft, and there’s a lot of new and exciting things to look forward to for fans of LMBYT! This game takes place after the end of the first game, the vampire and her thrall are both vampires now, and they have to navigate their relationship as the vampire shows her thrall the ropes of vampirism! There’s a lot of new stuff to look forward too, but you’ll just have to wait and see!
I can’t guarantee that this will be done before the jam ends, but progress has been going smooth! I hope you’re as excited for it as I am!
That’s All Folks!
Thanks for tuning in to another Milkboy monthly! I hope you’re exited for the future, because I sure am! Plenty of games are still to come!
