Game Update: March 11th, 2025

Howdy everyone! Admin D here.

So I did wind up getting evicted and having to move out of my apartment, BUT

I am in a new place now (in another state)! Don’t have a job yet but I’m looking for one, aaaand I found my art tablet pen, which means hopefully (provided nothing else goes wrong, of course) I should have the ability to start working on the game again soon!

Yay!

So stay tuned, I’ll probably be posting more updates as I get settled in and actually start to work on the game and all that good stuff.

Update: December 4th, 2024

Howdy y'all, Admin D here.

Just wanted to give a small reason as to why there hasn't been a lot of updates, starting with reason number one:

I uh. I'm actually on the verge of being evicted from my apartment? I haven't been able to find a steady job since January and it's finally starting to get where I don't have enough income to pay my rent. So that's uh. Been more of a priority for me than the game rn.

Second off, I lost my art tablet pen and haven't been able to find it ;-;

I'm still looking for it actively but so far no luck, and again, I've had the first thing weighing on me the whole time so uh yeah.

I will try to continue work on the game as soon as I'm able to, but it might not be for a while. Hopefully you guys stick around to see what the game is gonna turn out to be.

Thanks for sticking around,

Admin D

Regarding Eddsworld Copyright

Since I've seen some stuff circulating EW Copyright floating around in the fandom, I thought I would make a post about it. As I've said before, this game and anything associated with it is both FAN-MADE and NON-PROFIT. That means I don't make any money off of the project, at all, whatsoever.

As I said directly in the game's "About" tab and in the ending scene of the Demo:

Eddsworld and its characters and preliminary designs are all protected by international copyright and are the property of Eddsworld and the estate of Edd Gould. I DO NOT OWN THESE CHARACTERS, AND I HAVE NEVER CLAIMED TO. If you recognize a background, asset, or character, it's safe to assume that I do not own it and it's part of this copyright.

Any support given is not through the release of the game & unaffiliated with the game in any way, but anything I recieve goes toward helping me have a place to live and continue the game.

Thank you.

Admin D.

Ideas?

Hey guys! Admin D here.

So since the release of the Demo, I've been.. kinda stuck on ideas of where to go from here.

To be more specific, I have main plot arcs I wanna explore, but not enough.. specifics on how to get there.

So! This is my official asking post - if you have things you'd like to see in the game event-wise, please drop 'em in the inbox! I'll take a look at 'em and see what I can do.

Thanks so much!

Game Update: 7/20/2024

Game files have been fixed and updated, bug in Matt's route should be fixed.

Going to add snippet of how to report bugs into FAQ, possibly make a Google Form for it, and then go back to sleep as it is 8:30 AM for me and I don't have to start on work until like 11:30 or so

Update: 07/20/2024

I went to bed, and some lovely person who downloaded the game (thank you!) found a small issue with Matt’s route.

I plan on fixing it up quickly before I go into work today and updating the files on the game’s page.

In the future, if you do happen to find an issue with the game or its demo, feel free to reach out to me here on Tumblr via DMs, or sending an ask or submission. If you have screenshots of the error, that’s lovely, if not just describe the issue to me as best you can. I’ll try to fix it as quickly as I can.

Thanks so much!

THE DEMO IS OUT!

You can find it here: https://silverscar712.itch.io/finding-love-on-dirdum-lane-demo Feel free to leave comments, or come over here and yell at me on tumblr if you find any bugs!

[findingloveondirdumlane]

Game Update: 07/19/2024

The demo is nearly finished!

I just have a few more tweaks and improvements to make, and it’ll be ready to go!It should be out here later today.

But! Like I said before, just because the demo is nearing completion doesn’t mean that the game is complete; I still have a lot more to do and to make before the full game is done. Stay tuned for updates on that, as well as various polls of what you guys might want to see come out of the game, as well as any possible extension/extra routes!

I anticipate the game being released sometime around 10:00 PM MST, so be on the lookout for that.

As always, feel free to drop on into the blog’s inbox, and I’ll see you guys then!

Game Update: 07/15/2024

Hi guys! Hope everyone is doing well.

Before I get into the actual updates, a little bit of backstory on how this project initially came to be:

I'm in school for Game Design and Development, and one of my projects for a class was to come up with a game and have a playable version by the end of the semester.

This project is due in about four days.

However, I'm nowhere NEAR having the full game complete yet - which is why I plan on finishing the demo in four days and figuring out how to release it on itch.io for you all to enjoy!

This means that, yes, Day One of the game should be playable no later than July 19th, 2024! I plan to have my fiance (or anyone else who is interested, you can contact me via Tumblr DMs) playtest the game to make sure there's no major bugs or anything before I submit it to my professor.

Now, onto the updates:

Finished scripting/coding for a good portion of Tom's route, including a premature Bad Ending/Game Over screen. Still need to add in sprites and music, but that will come soon.

Started work on a Dual Encounter for Matt and Tom; not much there but will be working on it a bit more since it is part of Day One/the demo.

Started planning for Tord's second (and final) encounter in Day One/the demo.

I do ask that you all please be patient with me, as I am having to take on a full-time job and stay in school in order to keep myself afloat.

See you next time,

Admin D

Here are some screenshots from the game I have already, featuring each of the boys' sprites! I do plan on redoing the backgrounds but for now, they're screenshots and other images; this one in particular is a screenshot of the boys' house from Eddsworld.

Frequently Asked Questions/Introduction

Hello and welcome to the official Tumblr blog for Finding Love on Dirdum Lane: An Eddsworld Dating Simulator! I'm the creator of the project, and I'm happy to see ya here!

Let's jump right in!

What is this?/What is the game about?:

Finding Love on Dirdum Lane is a FAN-MADE, NON-PROFIT Dating Simulator based on the characters and setting of the popular webseries, Eddsworld. I am not affiliated with the Eddsworld team nor do I claim to be the owner of any of the characters. They belong to Eddsworld and the estate of Edd Gould.

The game is a dating simulator wherein you, the player, have moved from America to England for unknown reasons, and found a cheap place to rent; 26 Dirdum Lane, Bittensborough, England. You happen to catch the attention of your neighbors across the street by complete accident; shenanigans and romance ensue.

Why is Tom black/Why are the characters different from OG Eddsworld?:

The designs I've used for the game are those of my own personal headcanons, including surnames and certain familial bonds between the boys.

Who is datable?:

Right now, only the main four (Edd, Matt, Tom, and Tord) are datable characters, but depending on demand and time I may include other routes for other characters like the Neighbors (Jon, Mark, Eduardo) or certain side characters/OCs as separate projects. I am one person doing pretty much everything for the game; I know my own limits and capabilities.

Where will the game be hosted when it's finished?

The game will be hosted on itch.io when it is complete. I'll provide a link to the site when it goes live.

Where is this in the timeline/Where's Matt's hoodie/Why are the boys OOC?:

The timeframe of the game is set in Classic/Goulden Era Eddsworld, only a few days after Breakfast, but the player has been there for a few months. However, I have decided to include what I hope is a balanced mix of both Legacy and Classic/Goulden characterisation for the boys.

Who are you?

Call me "Admin D." You might recognize me from other Eddsworld projects here on tumblr.

When is the game going to come out/How far along is the game already?:

As of today (July 20th, 2024) The Day One demo has been released on itch.io! You can find the demo here. Work on the next portion of the game is still happening, but may be a bit slow due to work. This blog is to house updates and other such things.

How do I report bugs with the game?

If you do happen to find an issue with the game (when it is eventually released) or its demo, feel free to reach out to me here on Tumblr via DMs, or via sending an ask or submission. If you have screenshots of the error, that’s lovely, if not just describe the issue to me as best you can. I’ll try to fix it as quickly as I can.

And now that we have all of that out of the way, if you have any other questions, concerns, or comments, feel free to drop in an ask and I'll get to it as soon as I can!
