  I’d just like you all to know that the pathfinding bug in the SCI11+ engine has been fixed. Somehow it didn’t even involve that complete rewrite I mentioned. Hopefully, once I and my dear cow-rite... Continue reading
• This is not really an update
  September 11, 2022 by Kawa

  Normally, there’d be something to celebrate the download counter reaching the next power of two, and a wallpaper. As I write this, it’s at 2036 and there’s… nothing to show involving updates o... Continue reading
• 1024 downloads, whoop!
  October 23, 2019 by Kawa

  Well, that number's not getting any lower and the next power of two has been reached. Technically it's the number of downloads for all my stuff added together, but the box game has so few downloads a... Continue reading

  
• Minor bugfix
  March 23, 2019 by Kawa

  Well, minor... a missing sound effect would crash the game. Not that minor... Continue reading
• New year, new demo
  March 22, 2019 by Kawa

  All the things listed in my previous devlog post are in this build, except for the music cleanup. That bit's still in progress. I'm really only posting this because Itch suggested it... Continue reading

  When these promo pics started, I didn't immediately do so for every power of two. The first time was at 60 downloads, then 100. It wasn't until the third that I'd switch to powers of two with 256 down... Continue reading

  
• ScummVM? Yes.
  December 02, 2018 by Kawa

  I can't believe I missed the exact moment (I was watching Super Sentai) but since about two hours back from when I'm typing this, support for The Dating Pool has been added to ScummVM. Which I think... Continue reading
• Why SCI?
  October 03, 2018 by Kawa

  You might notice in my previous post that I mentioned some alternative game engines. SCI (which I use here), SCUMM, Adventure Game Studio, and "something home-made". Why do I use SCI, though? What doe... Continue reading
• 256 downloads? 256 downloads!
  October 03, 2018 by Kawa

  Another milestone on the download counter. You know what that means — a new gift wallpaper. As for the game itself, things are chugging along. My co-writer is having persistent life issues that I'm... Continue reading

  
• Minor bugfix
  July 23, 2018 by Kawa

  Do you know what happens when you have a cursor image whose hotspot is outside of the image boundaries? Crashy stuff happens when you move it too far down the edges of the screen. Thanks to DoviDoes o... Continue reading

  I tend to try and release something on my birthday, or on Christmas. This year, it's a new version of The Dating Pool . Unfortunately, development went so slow that the best I can offer is an update... Continue reading

  
• A word from the co-author
  October 18, 2017 by Kawa

  (This is a guest post by the game's co-writer.) Hi all! Letrune here, sort-of writer for The Dating Pool . I decided to make Kawa post this -- the game is slowly going due to other projects (like my t... Continue reading
• 100 demo downloads
  October 18, 2017 by Kawa

  Well, here's another promo image. You earned it. I'd really like to inform of progress on the full version, but it's been slow. Mostly because of a lack of writing. So uh... here's a background instea... Continue reading

  
• Sixty demo downloads?
  June 06, 2017 by Kawa

  Not bad. To celebrate this, have a promotional wallpaper... Continue reading
