Freedom Update - GAME IS OPEN SOURCED
The Game is NOW Open Sourced!
No this is not an late april fools joke, this game is now open source.
I have been working on The Colorful Creature on and off by myself for the past 6 years or so. This game is like a child to me and having the game handed out to people to see and improve it further sounds exciting.
I decided to open source the game as a thanks, and I want to continue to further support the game by giving the community a chance to contribute and improve the game.
'Open sourcing' any software/game means that the developer(s) are handing out source code entirely for free. It usually requires a license, there's many to choose from but I've chosen Apache 2.0, it means that you can contribute, modify, distribute, or even sell your own version of TCC. It's a legal procedure if I wanted to make the game available to people but I wanted to go on full lengths.
Why did you do this?
For the longest time, I was working on the game by myself, which isn't an issue, but some things took too long to add because of the systems I've implemented that I want to code-refactor, but that takes even longer!
Considering that the game got a full release, I decided to release the game then because I got all of things added that I wanted, but all of these things can be improved in some way.
With me working on other projects, it's difficult to balance TCC and have time for it, I can work on the game but I don't have as much time especially with college and bigger projects planned. So I decided to give the community a chance, with me working on the documentation and help resolve issues with contributors.
I'll be always with the community to help solve issues but now the community can solve the game for me! We can sort the game out together!
Is the game going to be free on steam?
No, the game won't be free on steam, it's just the source code that is becoming free. But you can take the source code and compile the game yourself for free even if you don't own TCC yourself.
There's examples of games that did this, like Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead where it's sold on steam for 20 euros, but it is free on github.
Keep in mind that the documentation for contributing is work in progress, many things could change to improve workflow of the game, but it will get easier with time.

WELCOME TO THE COLORFUL CREATURE 3D!
WELCOME TO THE COLORFUL CREATURE 3D!
For the past few months, I was learning a brand new game engine Godot. I've always wanted to create a 3D game ever since I started developing games, but never knew the skills of how to do so.
With Godot, I am able to achieve such a dream! So I decided to release a tech demo of TCC 3D!
If your attention span is low, here's how you can access the tech demo
What do you do in TCC 3D?
In TCC 3D, you take care of Reddie pets. Having more pets makes your kingdom profitable. You might be asking yourself many questions, which I'll get to answer in a moment.
Q: Infi, isn't Reddie touching grass? Isn't grass a green color? A: Yes, grass is green
Q: How do you take care of pets? A: You play ball! Here, let me show you!
This is an image of Reddie being held by the player character
Q: Who is the player character? What's his name? A: Well... um
Q: Is there more A: Yes, we added alcoholism!
Q: WHAT? Isn't this supposed to be a family friendly game? A: Y̴͓͈̙̬̩͛̓̒̽́̆͊͘͠͠ê̵̞̳̖̱͎͔̂͛͊̃̚͜͜͝s̶̢̢͚͉̻̺̮̮̖̥͔͍̾̆̂̅̀͜,̴̧͇̼̮͖̲̮̭̘͎̫͌́̉̚͜͜ ̸̧̛̰̮̣̦̱̳͇̖̈́̽̑́̂͊̊̊̂͜͝͠ͅẗ̵̲̫͉̹́̑́̀͌̊̓̈́̋͑h̷̞͔͍̿͛͋̍̆͘ͅi̸̢̬̺͙̲̺͈͇̓̆̄͋̈́͋̐̄̂̓͋̿̚͠s̶̰̟̳̩̰̲͙͒̄͊͋͜͜͝ ̸̢̥̠͓͙͔̦̗̩͍̪̖̓͊̓̌͝ȋ̴̗͓̲̻͆̒̓̍̿̊͒s̴̨̡̛̛̳̞̙̝͔̩̔̓̋̀̊̎̂̿̊̓̆̕͝ ̶̬͉̞̃̿̀̇͝â̸̧̢̯̟͚̩̰̯͚̌̐̑̀̑́̚͘ ̷̧̛̹̊̾̌͂́̑̈̚͝͠f̶̮̭͕̲̟̑̈́̐͗̓̂̿̄̊̉̄̈̌̒̚ă̷̡͖̩͎̹̹͛̈́̌̓̍͆̋̍̚̕̚͠m̵̨͔͖̙͔̫̤̱̩̮͛̏̀̀̉̄͌̔͛̎̐͘͜͝͝͝ȋ̴̢̞̭̱̝͈͕̐̿̏͆̕l̸̨̧̛͔͈̳̖̬̓̂̉͋̈́͋́̀̌̿͗̾ͅy̸̛̠̥͇͍̤̆̔͆̆͐̈́̽̾̈́͌̍̌ ̴̢̧̧̛̫̟̥̰̗̺̦̱̞̊̉̋̾̑̑̒̇̀̎̆̿̀̒͜ͅf̸̠̪͌͑̆r̶̪̺̱̩͇̓̽̊ͅï̸̝͍̣̫͈̫͙̞̜̓͋͊͝ẽ̷̢͕͚̞͔̩̝́͂́̾͗͋͗̄̀͂̚͜͠͝ͅn̵͙̫̥͗̉̓̃d̴͇̦̐͛̐͋͆̌͌̌̑̉͘͝l̷̢͕̘̈́̈́y̴̮̱̰̱͈͌́͆̽̈́̌͝ ̷̡̞̹̰̤͔͓͉͖̤͕̦̐̀͐̓̄͋̅͆͘g̵̨̢͙͓͓̠̺̉̾̏̐͛͌̒̈́̉͂͆̐͝͝ȁ̵̢̧̱̦̱̤̱͕͖͍̮͎͈͈̏̈̊̾̊͌̎̂̈̐̓͗̚͜͝m̷̯̞̰͈̙̩͚̠̱̞̟̯̼̠̂̅̇ͅe̴̡̨̙̳̟̻̮̠͚̳̦̮̼̰̲̓̑
