Hello Chucklers, just a reminder that the daddy corporations and their fancy new rainbow logos are only okay with you taking off your socks to kiss your homies this month if you buy their shit.

Okay I've been working on the game but I don't have much I can physically show, so I'll explain my thought process about creating it so I have something to post and y'all know I'm still alive and working.
I learned how to make dating sims in renpy about 6 years ago to make a dating sim that consisted of random people I knew just for funsies, and so all the time I'll like something and be like "man I could totally make a visual novel of this!!". I never actually acted on it until I was nearing 20 shots of Fireball and two bottles of Molson (gotta rep the Canadian brands!!) deep in the middle of May, pulled out my notebook at the shitty dive bar and started scribbling away. For some reason coding HITS when you're drunk so I've told myself if I'm not gonna be able to kick my drinking habit I'm gonna be productive with it at the least, and have been working on it whenever I drink. The code isn't really the neatest because of it, but that's why I'm just working on it alone. It's a free fan passion project, if I'm the only one who can decipher and edit my messy coding that's okay. If suddenly it seems like y'all suddenly wanna mod it to add your own endings I'll assess the damage and move from there.
In terms of release, I should have specified that the full game will not be released in September. At the very least a basic Ted and Schlatt ending will be finished, I'm hoping Charlie too but it might be difficult since I'm gonna do a similar thing to unlocking Ren in boyfriend to death with him if all goes well. I'm working two jobs (I'm a social media manager which is funny because I can't be fucked (I can say that because this is a free fan game hahaha) to use my skills on my own accounts because I don't wanna just keep doing my job on my own time, and I work helping lead developments in Canadian Indigenous education at my local museum with a government grant) and I'm also going back to school in September (English Language and Literature, minor in German, don't speak to me in German I am a disgrace to the language so far) so I can't spend all the time I want to spend working on Chucklesim.
The plan is to get something playable out in September, then I'll crank out some updates through the year. As an English student who's naturally insane at reading I hardly have any homework that takes me forever, so I'd hopefully have time to have something out during my off days for exams in December and April.
In terms of dating routes, that's a no. I doubt Schlatt would be okay with that, and even if everyone was completely fine with it, Ted and Charlie have partners and I'd feel so disrespectful and weird if I made a dating sim for someone else's partner, regardless if they're famous or not.
I'm really happy to be working on this and I hope you all enjoy it. If you have any questions, any suggestions, wanna stay updated, please check out the link to the Google form here so I can have all that information easily accessible in one place. I want this to be our game, not just mine. My ask box is always open as well, even if you're just goofing off.
Keep chuckling, perhaps even allow yourself to chortle a little, and have a good day!
Love, Alyssia/ilovlys - Chuckle Sim's favourite (only) dev

Coming september:
Tumblr media
A free fanmade visual novel in development by @ilovlys where your choices matter as you play through the experience of being a Chuckle Week guest on the Chuckle Sandwich podcast! Get your kneecaps busted in smoggy, hellish LA by known menace Ted Nivison, discover what the hell is on aspiring military propagandist Jschlatt's mystery phone, follow the ominous, slimy trail in the cavern rumored to hold the forgotten, ancient secrets of a former third host, say a fervent "FUCK YOU" to the Tucker haters, consume a strange, viscous fluid, and answer the greatest dilemma known to the universe:
"Would you rather have unlimited bacon but no more video games, or games, unlimited games, but no more games?"
Tumblr media
If you have anything you'd like to see in the game, please, please, fill out this Google form or send an ask. I'll add as much as I can and if your suggestion is added you will be featured in the credits.
