WE ARE LIVE ! 🎉 (Please read the entire thread)

HI EVERYONE! 👋

Hope y'all are doing well!

Well... it's finally time! 🎉 New content is officially LIVE!

But before you jump into everything, PLEASE read this post first. A lot of what you're going to see in the videos—and everything that comes with this release—will make much more sense after you know what's going on.

It's going to be a bit of a read because... we have A LOT to cover in this one. 😅

FIRST OF ALL... I'M SORRY

I know this release took way longer than I originally expected.

Things kept taking longer than planned, and then I kept adding more and more to it. Honestly, this turned into a pretty difficult release to manage.

I also didn't want to keep making pointless updates if I couldn't actually share anything meaningful with you. With this particular update, there was only so much I could talk about without either spoiling things or making absolutely no sense before the content dropped.

But... the release is finally here! So let's get into it.

🎥 1. NEW VIDEO — "LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF"

First things first:

Go watch the new video "Let Me Introduce Myself" and then come back to this post.

Seriously. Go watch it first.

Because from this point on...

⚠️ SPOILER WARNING ⚠️

I am going to talk about what happens in the video.

🧹 CLEANING OUT THE CLOSET

As you saw in the video, some tough decisions had to be made. Let me explain a little bit about why.

When I first started making videos, I already had an idea for a story and what I wanted to do with it. The problem was that, at the time, my videos—at least visually—were... well... let's just say they were pretty bad. 😂

So, I decided to stop focusing so much on the story aspect and instead focus on learning how to make better videos. I wanted to try new things, test different ideas, experiment, and just improve in general. I think that was absolutely the right decision.

But there was one downside: because I wasn't focusing on how the overall story would eventually come together, we ended up with a LOT of random characters. Some were better, some were worse, and eventually, it became a bit of a cluster.

There are now so many characters that both new and old viewers have a hard time keeping track of everyone or getting familiar with them (with a few exceptions).

So... it's time to clean out the closet. 🧹

As you saw in the video, most of the characters we've had so far have been cut. For now, we're going to focus on:

• Kait

• Luke

• Blair

• Lea

I really want to give these characters more life, personality, and development. I also want us to have familiar faces that you guys can actually get attached to and follow throughout the story.

Now, I know this might suck for some of you who really liked other characters from previous videos, and I completely understand that. But don't worry—just because a character isn't appearing right now doesn't mean they're gone forever. We can—and absolutely will—add more characters in the future. Some old characters might return, and there will definitely be new ones as well.

So don't worry if your favorite character didn't make the cut this time. ❤️

📖 ONE MORE IMPORTANT CHANGE

You may have also noticed something else in the video: all of the characters now have much more detailed descriptions, traits, personalities, and background info.

This is actually VERY important for the future, because it brings us to the second—and probably biggest—point of this entire update:

🎮 WE ARE MAKING A GAME!!

YUP. You heard that right. Little World is going to become an actual world.

Let me give you some context. For a long time, as some of you already know, I've wanted to give you guys more content than just posting videos. I love making videos and it's a lot of fun, but at some point, it started feeling a little stale, and I felt like we could do a lot more with this .

I considered a few different options: making comics, individual stories, and a bunch of other things. But to be honest, nothing really clicked. The idea of making a game, however, always intrigued me.

The problem was... I've never made a game before. I had no idea if I could actually do it, what it would require, or how difficult it would be. So I decided to open up Ren'Py and give it a shot.

🧪 THE EXPERIMENT

What I quickly found out was that one of the hardest parts was getting the right media and sound for the game. Which sounds like a problem... but actually, it fits us really well! My idea is that the videos I already make could eventually be used inside the game itself, along with media from previous videos.

Now, when I first started testing Ren'Py, I didn't use our video media. If I had tried to build the first version of the game that way, this release probably wouldn't have happened until Christmas. 😂

I still wanted to talk to you guys first about what kind of game we're actually making, what the setting is, what the idea is, and where we want to take it. The cool thing is that we have a LOT of creative freedom here (or as much creative freedom as my technical ability allows! 😂).

🗳️ THE NEXT 1–2 WEEKS ARE IMPORTANT

For the next 1–2 weeks, there will be polls where you guys can vote on some important decisions about the game. I want to leave most of the big choices to you! We'll discuss the genre, the setting, the overall concept, and other important mechanics.

Once the polls are finished and we've made the main decisions, I'll start working on the first version of our actual game. My current estimate is that we could have a playable first version around one-two month after the polls wrap up.

Obviously, a lot will depend on the decisions we make and how complex the game becomes. I'll keep you updated throughout development and share our progress along the way.

🎮 "ALWAYS WANTING MORE" — THE TEST GAME

When I first started testing Ren'Py, I used real-life media instead of our usual content. It was simply much easier to work with, and at that point, I just wanted to understand:

• What can actually be done?

• What are the limitations?

• How can I tell a story?

• What kind of fun systems can I create?

• How could future videos potentially be integrated into a game?

But then something happened: my little test project slowly turned into... an actual little game. 😂 I kept adding things just to see what was possible, and eventually, I had something that was fully playable.

The project is called: "Always Wanting More" (AWM)

It's a fun little post-apocalyptic RPG. It was simply the easiest concept for me to start with while testing everything out, and I'm going to share that game with you guys!

Now, I know it's NOT the style you're used to seeing from me, and I know some of you might not like it. But I would really appreciate it if you could give it a chance. Everything you see in this test game—the features, systems, styles, mechanics, and so on—can potentially be used in our actual game with our official characters and video media. This was basically my playground to figure out what I can actually build.

⚠️ GAME SPOILERS — ALWAYS WANTING MORE ⚠️

DO NOT READ THIS SECTION IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THE GAME OR DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED.

The AWM test game has quite a few fun features: combat systems, items, upgrades, stats, and much more. I added these specifically to test how they work and to see what could potentially be brought over to our main game later.

And honestly... I really enjoyed making it! It also gives me a nice mental break from video production. Instead of constantly working on the next video, I can switch gears, work on the game, experiment with something completely different, and just have fun with it.

⚠️ ONE IMPORTANT THING ABOUT AWM

Because I used real-life images and videos in this test game, I'm going to post the first version here for you guys to test, but I will probably remove it at some point.

Honestly... I'm a little scared of Patreon with this one. 😅 I've already received two restrictions/penalties on this account, and posting this game here does carry a risk. I've seen situations where accounts were terminated because of real-life media and similar content rules. I'm completely new to game publishing, so I honestly don't know exactly how strict they will be, and I am NOT willing to risk everything we've built here for a test project.

So the plan is:

1. I'll post the game here for you guys to test.

2. We'll see how Patreon reacts.

3. The game will eventually be moved to a separate account/platform.

I'll probably continue experimenting with it there and work on it whenever I have spare time or feel a bit burned out. It's more of a fun side project for me anyway!

💬 I WANT YOUR FEEDBACK!

If you have some time, please message me here on Patreon or on X and let me know what you think about:

• The idea of making an official game

• The direction we're taking

• Always Wanting More

• The systems/features you liked or didn't like

• Things you'd like to see in our actual game

ALL feedback is welcome. This is something we're building together, so I really want to hear what you guys think.

🎥 2. NEW VIDEO — "LEA: THE CHAOS QUEEN"

Now, we have one more thing! We also have a second video: "Lea — The Chaos Queen"

Originally, this video was planned as an extra for the release. My initial plan was to release the first video and then put this one in the store for anyone who wanted a little extra Lea content. I planned this almost a month ago... but obviously... things happened. 😂

Because it took me so long to get everything ready, this video is now completely FREE. Consider it a little thank-you for continuing to support me and being patient through this whole process. ❤️

Once you watch it, I think you'll understand why it was made the way it was. I really wanted it to be fun and entertaining, and honestly, I think both videos turned out really well. I hope you guys enjoy them!

🚀 WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

One important thing to clarify: making a game does NOT mean the videos are stopping. Not at all!

Videos will continue to be released as usual. In fact, I already have two short videos in production right now.

The idea going forward is that we'll have:

• 🎥 Video releases

• 🎮 Game updates

The two media formats can actually complement each other really well! A video can introduce something that later becomes part of the game, and a game update can expand on something from a video. As we move forward, I want the two projects to slowly become more interconnected.

• If you're here just for the videos: Don't worry! You'll still get your regular videos.

• If you're excited about the game: You'll get game updates too! 😎

💬 AND FINALLY... DISCORD!

Once we settle these next few important steps, there is one thing we've been overdue for a LONG time: A COMMUNITY DISCORD.

Most likely, we'll launch it around the next release—maybe even sooner. This will make it much easier for us to discuss the future, share ideas, talk about the game, and, most importantly, give you guys a place where you can voice your opinions and chat with each other.

If anyone has experience and would like to help me manage the Discord server and set things up, please message me! I would really appreciate the help. ❤️

❤️ THAT'S EVERYTHING!

So yeah... that's all of it! I know that's a LOT to take in at once. 😂

But honestly, I think the future is looking really damn bright. We have a lot planned, plenty of room to experiment, and I think we're finally moving Little World toward something much bigger than just a collection of videos.

And the best part is... we're building it together.

So thank you. Thank you for sticking around, for being patient with me, for supporting the project, and for giving me the opportunity to keep experimenting and trying new things.

I really hope you enjoy this release and have a lot of fun with it. There's a lot more coming! ❤️

Now go watch the videos... and then go vote in those polls! 😏

Let's build this world.
