Pawsed!
So it’s time for another break update. I’ll cut to the chase for anyone who doesn’t want to read a lot – I’m going to remain on indefinite hiatus for now. I really have no idea when I’ll start again.
I know this is disappointing, and I’m sorry. I was really hoping that as I got closer to the 1 year mark for the break that I would feel like returning. I’m pretty sure I’ll eventually get back there, I just need to stay “pawsed” for now, especially with all the extra stress and anxiety from what’s currently going on in the world.
Regarding the Patreon, please feel free to suspend your pledge if you want to. I can’t close/suspend the Patreon without blocking access to everything and losing the grandfathered account, but I know money is getting tight as the economy goes downhill and I’m not currently active with the comic, so it’s totally understandable. I am still doing monthly wallpapers for the $5 tier for now though, so if you dig those they’ll be around for a while. That being said, The $1 tier is set as a general tip jar and I greatly appreciate anyone that is still supporting me as an artist. It really does mean a lot to me, so thank you!
Finally, I still intend to print Volume 3, but I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to do it this year. There are so many restrictions in place – both from tariffs and now because of Covid19 – and everybody is tightening their belts anyway, so it’s probably better to hold off on a Kickstarter for now. But I’ll try to do it sooner if possible.
I’m still active online otherwise, so if you want to follow me and my general art you can find me on Twitter at @celesse. I know it’s pretty different in style from Gamercat, but it’s there if you’re interested! And you can check there to confirm that I’m not dead, don’t have cancer or disprove any other weird rumor people try to start ;)
In true GaMERCaT fasion, I would like to tell you to ‘hang in there’ ^ w^ Thank you for the update (and the wonderful pun) and I hope there will one day come a point in your life you’ll be able to resume your lovely webcomic. Until that day comes, I wish you the best (after that day comes too, as well as if it never comes) and stay awesome~!
You mean,PAWsome?😹
Thank goodness you didn’t comment ‘first’ or some guy would probably rage
Thank you! I do really appreciate the support and kind words :)
the virus just had to show up am i right lol, it can get very boring sometimes having to stay inside for multiple weeks but a wise cat gave me a solution…play video games! we will all get through this crisis together and i hope you all stay safe until its over.
True gamers have self isolation at max level
I only started reading gamercat about maybe 1-4 months ago, I enjoy the comic and I am sad that it’s been ‘pawsed’ for about 1 year. Continue the updates, please.
Totally understand. I miss the kitties and the laughs, but you take care of yourself and do what you need to do. We’ll be here waiting when you get back!
Me too.
Thank you! We’ll see how this year goes ^^
indefinite
lasting for an unknown or unstated length of time
When I discovered this comic last year I have been waiting for something to even happen here, so this makes me a happier person.
I have read every single comment on every single comic and no longer have anything more to do.
need more clan members in clash royale join with this tag #LRVYOLCU
I’m sorry but I only play games that are FUN so no.
Hello there! Have you ever heard of Raid: Shadow Legends? (don’t worry I never played it)
That game among other mobile variety games is NOT FUN! But you should really play “The Room” games.
Jeez, ‘The Crusher Of Your Dreams’ you really crush dreams :/
That’s the point! :}
play brawl stars!
if I was stressed, I would think DOING a comic instead of not-doing-it would be the relief. Especially getting patronbucks for it, instead of havin to worry about different work
I actually quite enjoy my shop, I’ve been running it even before I started Gamercat. But I probably won’t have any cons to do this year so I’ll have more chill time and might get back into the comic groove.
Thank you for updating us! That’s all we wanted (well, okay we really wanted new comics, but we understand if you’re not quite up to it yet and are just glad to hear DIRECTLY FROM YOU that you’re okay). Stay safe and be sure to keep those talented hands washed! ;P
Thanks for understanding! And I’m washing my hands a ton ^^
Glad you’re okay – please take all the time you need and stay healthy!
Long time reader, and long time checker XP
Glad to see your alright and to see an update
Whatever may come in the future I hope your safe and will always love your works even if it ends here
Stay Safe!
Haha, thanks for checking back even while it’s been on break! And thanks for the support ^^
Finally next update! This is my favorite comics, so please do not quit it!!!
I knew not to give up! It was worth checking every week! :]
I’m so happy you wrote something! I really hope one day you will restart with Gamercat, but don’t feel obligated
I’m glad my little update helped ^^ I hope I can resume it too!
Wow i actually thought you were dead. i found this comic one day, and a few months later, it stops. Take your time coming back if you need to.
I’m always a little surprised when people think I’m dead/gone since I’m so active online for the rest of my work ^^; But I guess most people don’t associate me with the comic for some reason.
anyone play animal crossing new horizons cuz i think gamercat should play it,it was really good
yes
Lol made bridg yesterday
i don’t usually comment
ok
ok i know i said i was done commenting but i feel the urge to say this.
WHY THE HECK DOES AN UPDATE GET POSTED THE DAY AFTER I SAY I’M DONE COMMENTING!
also just a P.S. i’m not done commenting forever i’m just going to comment much less than usual
yeah I saw your comment saying that you were done lol
well glad your not dead :3
FINALLY AN UPDATE!! THANK GOD YOURE ALIVE!! I hope you’re doing well otherwise!
Also, have you ever played Deemo? It’s a tap-to-the-rhythm story game. It’s really good <3 another good game is Incredible Mandy, which I am currently working on completing. I can also see GC quitting Incredible Mandy very quickly because it is little bit hard and it’s a puzzle game.
DUH-DUH-DUH DUH DUH-DUN DUH NA-DUH DUH!SUPER SMASH BROS ULTIMATE! Is a game I’d like to see gamercat play,and I feel very sorry for people who’ve never played it.Try it,it’s one of the best fighting games ever!
This comment has been approved
agreed.
Who do you main? It’s Dedede for me!
Dude, do the thing that’s best for you; and when you feel like going back to drawing, come back. And if you don’t – be as awesome at the next thing you move to as you are/were with GamerCat.
Thank you, the support for anything I might do is very much appreciated! Though I can hopefully do some more Gamercat at some point ^^
From one of your fans, I hope Gamercat and his family, (don’t forget his servant Malcom!) find a way to get past this outbreak. Stay safe and healthy everyone!
They’re definitely washing their paws and staying inside, even if it is getting so nice out (the torture!)
