So, a lot of people have been asking me recently if work is still progressing on TUGS Escape.

The short answer is: Yes, and I am hoping to get an updated demo out soon.

The long answer is that due to a change in situations, schedules, and workloads, I needed to change the artist for the project, and going back to update all the existing artwork, sprites, backgrounds, etc, has been a serious undertaking.

The game artwork is now being composed by the amazingly talented team of Zubuzz and Dissy, who can be found at  Zubuzz
Next month I plan to release a new demo with the updated artwork, as well as bug fixes, a few tweaks and changes, and some small additions. This demo will still only cover the same part of the game, but there will be some new stuff to explore, so check it out when it drops.

The next question I get asked a lot of is: why the change of artist? To put many fears to bed early, myself and the previous artist  squiddy62 have not fallen out. It simply happened that Squiddy had a lot of projects on their plate, and deadlines for the game were putting stress on us both. I felt it was in both our best interests to change the artist, though Squiddy is still working on another TUGS related project that I hope to reveal in the future when there is a little more to show. There is no bad blood between us, or anything like that, it was merely a workload issue.

I still stream work on the game, every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 11PM GMT, and on Sunday at 4PM GMT at https://picarto.tv/Luketugs. The weekday streams are often alongside such talented artists/creators as  Kazecat and  SquashedFlat who are working on games of their own. The game also has an active patreon and subscribestar for those that want to support the game and get access to other builds of the game.

Going forward, I plan to release demo builds as frequently as I can. The demo will depict one day in the game, though whilst subscribers will have access to three different Elites to fight on that day (featuring a variety of characters and kinks) the demo build will feature just one of these characters each day. Supporters will also get earlier access to demo builds, behind the scenes updates, concept work, and several other benefits.
