Grigsby’s World Productions - Wishlist TQA Today!

Greg the WIP owlcat.

Still a work in progress by the wonderful @Ralu11art
But how are we feeling about the Owlcat people?

I'm thinking of naming him Greg.

Marketing wisdom says devs need more video so here’s mine: behold my elite placeholder combat prototype. The tiny animations are mostly for my own joy. Ik most players won’t even notice them, but I like them anyway. Yes, the demon dog is a red stick figure. No, the final art will not look like this.

Before/After comparison of two Ren’Py script screenshots. The left image is labeled “Before (2023)” and shows a short, simple version of an ending scene: Ava says “No,” Daniel replies that their adventure ends, and the narrator says she turns away from the guild hall. The right image is labeled “After (Today)” and shows a much fuller rewrite of the same moment, with Ava and Daniel arguing about expectations, Ava walking away, and the narrator describing her tension and relief as she hears the clank of gear.

My workflow is always a little scattered. I outline, circle back, rewrite, reorganize, then return later to edit.

Today I found something strange: an alt ending I wrote two years ago.

Without realizing it, I rewrote the same moment this morning, and the difference was… wild.

A blonde woman with golden eyes stands in a still, muted forest village. Her expression is calm, almost unreadable; a visual from The Quiet After.

I can’t tell you what this game is about, but I can tell you why. store.steampowered.com/news/app/389...

Making a game solo is wild.

One moment I’m a genius.

The next, the algorithm reminds me I’m building this for the quiet ones anyway.

I hope I can live up to your expectations and deliver you a little enjoyment. I sincerely want nothing more than to put the game in the hands of actual players as soon as I can.

Thank you, every single one of you. 🕯️

Day 1 of The Quiet After on Steam; 8 wishlists so far. Each means more than I can say.

A few years ago, this was just an idea in my head. The fact that someone, let alone eight people, would want to experience it is mindblowing to me.

Storms waiting.

Might bump the Steam wishlist launch to #WishlistWednesday let the algorithm work for me for once.

Meanwhile, @Ralu11art, my background artist, casually dropped this guy into the crowd. 10/10, would buy him a beer. 🍻

Approvals just came through, gotta prep the tweets and such but the wishlist should be up this weekend!

#indiegame

We haven't received @Steam approval yet, but we’re working on it.

In other news, the best sprite man on earth and across the seven seas, @dexter_neal64, finished the expressions, so now I can do this:

#animation #digitalart #animeart #visualnovel

@Steam gave good notes.“Rewrite the blurb. Redo the header.”

Writing about a game where the mechanics and story twists are the experience, without spoiling it, is tough. But we’re close.

Wishlist soon!

Trailer progress is going great, thanks for asking.

This channel will be shifting back toward game dev soon, but keep an eye out for what drops next.

That said, our champions only have the tools we give them. There’s a lot more to say on broadband in Kitsap County, so much that it’ll spin off into its own account soon.

Just had a great meeting with Angela Bennink & Claire Ward of KPUD. Came away with huge respect for their leadership. Kitsap is in good hands.

So I built a site.
I made a video.
I put my name, face, and company on it — because someone has to.
This is where my story ends.
But your community’s story is just beginning.
📡 kitsapknewanddiditanyway.com
To Comcast, Wave, and every Kitsap official:
I’m not done watching.
It’s your move now.

So I kept digging:
Franchise agreements. Budget records. Infrastructure maps.
What I found wasn’t just neglect.
It was design.
Public infrastructure built to benefit private providers.
Silence, failure, and capture.

Meanwhile: Kitsap has a public fiber utility — KPUD.
Funded by taxpayers, feds, tribes, schools, ports — the community.
It’s capable of delivering fast, public, municipal broadband.
But it’s almost entirely locked away from the public.

So I filed FCC complaints.
Then I checked the contract.
Turns out:
Comcast’s franchise with the County expired years ago.
The County never enforced it. Comcast just… kept billing us.

I gave them proof: PingPlotter logs, IP hops, full trace.
They escalated.
Pretended to fix it.
Closed the case.
The outage never stopped. They just gave up.
