Happy New Year! And This Week in the Forest!
🕑 Added 2025-01-02 02:07:52 +0000 UTCYO FOLKS! Welcome to 2025! Hope everyone had awesome holidays and is ready for another year!
I GOT SOME NEWS! But let's start with a Word from Vixel!
------------
12/31 update:
Hey floofs, I hope you all had a happy Christmas/holiday time! <3
I spent time with family and did some fun seasonal activities! Switched things up with TFOL and worked in a side project prototyping a bunch of stuff we've been hoping to add for awhile: language translation, customizable controls, full touchscreen support (gestures etc) and touch friendly menus, and some core stuff to make the game run smoother especially on mobile and web. I gathered a bunch of useful dev intel and some code snippets I can use when it's time to add those features into the main game!
In other news, I'm ready to make new builds as soon as we finish some dialogue we're still tweaking. Will let you know!
Happy new year, may 2025 be a great year for all!! <3

------------My holidays were a bit of a wash this time! I was sick with some throat virus thing that apparently couldn't show up on labwork lol. But Antibiotics prevailed! I'm doing much better now.
But I've been up to a myriad of things since we've last talked. Mainly a bunch of assets for Act 4. Not enough, still many many to go haha. But this one's a marathon, not a sprint!
BUT IN OTHER NEWS. LOOK AT THIS CUTIE!
THIS SILICONE MABEL FROM SEVERAL MONTHS AGO!
Some updates on this project:
My own progress has been halted. I have resin printed my master molds for silicone casting and assembly - BUT it's WINTER! I didn't realize so many things were inhibited due to temperature, and my set up is in a garage, so it's not super insulated. Not to mention, it's not ventilated. So having the garage door open gets it even colder quicker! It's been consistently 30-40 degrees colder than the ideal temperature for silicone xD SO, that's all been halted.
HOWEVER - I've been working with a company to mass produce her! It's been a good amount of back and forth, but somehow these guys managed to pull it off! This isn't the final design (The core is being reworked) - but UH. YEAH. ITS PRETTY AWESOME.
SO! I'm waiting on a second set of samples that have a few alterations before pulling the trigger. THE SPICY ASS PART IS THE MINIMUM ORDER QUANTITY IS 500. I really have no idea if we can sell 500 Mabels lmao. It's gonna be nuts, but at this point, this project is like, 99.9% a go. So much so that once the mass production is in swing, I will be opening up pre-orders.
YAAAA. As someone who's been wanting something like this for a while, I can't quite overstate how awesome this is lmao. Huge props to those manufacturers, they really wanted to make this one work out, so they had tried quite a bit to get something solid!
She IS small, but she is VERY soft, so yeah! She fits a lot lmao.
The next samples have a better looking Core/hole, will be a tiny bit harder, and will be a matte finish, and a base color closer to Mabel. We'll see how it goes!
Anywho that's it for us!
We'll see ya guys next week!

I just got here, and I know I probably will want one as well. Especially after I give the game a try.
RedWoodArt
You have an idea how much ya might sell these for yet or is that gonna be based on the price of ordering 500 of em oh damn XD
RedWoodArt
Oh oh, this is interesting 👀
Drew Brining
You can count me in for one of the Mabel toys for sure!
Soman

Looks cute! I hope she's stretchy |3
Zack Goos
That's a nice view! I'm waiting for her! Count another vote for the possibility to choose the front hole ;)
Jack_Wolfe
Might be impractical as fuck, but fun to see. Im not even sure Mable is THAT stretchy.
Kairan Otter
Oliver and Mable Sex Scene ??? Would be nice
Jack Miller
Oh Wow, Add me to the purchase list lol
Jack_Wolfe
Now to stress test her with a flared chance :]
Jack_Wolfe
Are you gonna add or move holes on Mable or attempt to do variants? Will it be coloured? (im assuming not) will it be in matte? how stretchy is this sample? Did bad dragon not want to co-op on this? how is the tail flexibility?
Jack_Wolfe
if you connect everything it'll make more stable room for the hollow inside and strengthen the walls. Did you 3D model the inside sheath for the cast? Remember it doesn't have to be perfectly cylindrical and straight, because its flexible, so you can make the inside shape for casting much tighter/flatter than you realise. Unless theres a reason you cant on the casting side. (i dont know about the differences in casting silicone types/softness)
Jack_Wolfe
HOLY SHIT! the detail on that sculpt/cast, thats intensely good quality looking. Some of those connected gaps need filling imo, for sanitary reasons, but dam thats looking good. The upside down picture makes Mable look like a Kobold.
Nymira
Would love to get one!
SenGrisane

Kairan Otter
