Thanks everyone for your incredible support, and waiting patiently for Once Upon A Coma! Fortunately, Pinstripe was ported by a third party company, so the majority of my time has been dedicated to Once Upon A Coma!
Warmly,
Thomas

My apologies for two emails today, but today is a super special day. To celebrate Pinstripe launching on Switch, for the next two hours, I'll be personally answering any questions you have on Reddit! Can't wait to meet you! Questions about game development, music, creating Switch games, pretty much anything, are all fair game!
September - October Update! Phew!

My tummy is all rumbly because I'm so excited and also so nervous about this post. I realized about thirty minutes ago I've been completely away from Kickstarter for several months working on Coma, and haven't let the most important people know what's going on! I'm very sorry, but you should know... work on Coma has been going amazing and I can't wait to share with you what we've accomplished.
First... Pinstripe on Switch (20% Off)!
First I wanted to let you know that my first game Pinstripe is now AVAILABLE ON SWITCH for pre-order! It's about a minister in Hell, and TIME Magazine gave it a 5/5. Check out the trailer, and pre-order if you like! (Unfortunately, keys are not available relative to this campaign).
Alpha Access
I haven't forgotten about alpha access! We're actually working hard to get a demo ready to go for IGF (fingers crossed), and when that is complete, we'll being working to send it your way!
Working hard getting the last level done!
Art-Work Sprint
For the past several months, I've been going overtime trying to get the art and levels fleshed out and completed. Regarding the world art and bosses, we're about 80% complete! This is the most time-consuming part, and I'm so excited to be almost done!
Blackfork Asylum
Cut-Scenes
On top of all of this, I'm animating the cutscenes to help flesh out the story!
My favorite cutscene featuring Lilly and Pete!
Thank you so much for your patience! I can't wait to share more with you!
All the best,
Thomas

July was insane. N-sane. My apologies for not getting an update out to you! So much content was created for Once Upon A Coma, and I'm thrilled to share it with you!
Twink Lake
Twink Lake is the 2nd to the last level of Once Upon A Coma! It features creepy adults, a bird boss, and a massive hurricane. Here's a little vlog of me creating the level art!
Twink Lake Theme Song!
I really wanted to create a song that disorients, has a lot of atmosphere, but also is fun to listen to rhythmically. The final product was this!
Twink Lake Mechanic!
We've been having a blast creating a brand new mechanic, the umbrella! Inspired by the BOTW sale! Use it to wack various levers in sequence!
Once Upon A Coma Schedule
I'm a huge fan of transparency, especially when people like you have been so generous. So here's the schedule Tripp, Erik, Phil, and I use to ensure Coma is released in a timely manner! It is certainly subject to change, but we're making progress!
Please Welcome New Atmos Team Members!
As many of you know, I once prided myself in working alone. Now, in this season of life, I pride myself in an amazing team working tirelessly to ensure beautiful games like Once Upon A Coma and Pinstripe are released to those who support them in a timely manner! Please welcome Tripp Nichols and Philip Trainer to the Atmos Games team! Please say hello in the comments!
PlayJob Podcast!
I realized early this year I had a problem: I was isolated in the game industry, and I was struggling to really connect with anyone on this desert island called South Carolina. That's why I started the PlayJob Podcast! We talk about Once Upon A Coma's development, and also anything related to creative jobs!
