CBAS - One Year Later


Hey there! It's been awhile since I've been on Itch.io. CBAS turned one years old on June 28th! and I am late.. Since I disappeared for like half a year, I wanted to come back and clear up things about CBAS, so on and so forth.

1. Why did you delete your Twitter/where were you?

I took a break from social media for awhile because the attention overwhelmed me? I don't know how else to word it. I've always made OCs, wrote about them, etc. but I've never thought they would ever be seen as like those characters you'd be excited over like fictional characters in anime or manga. I felt like I had to appease my audience, and if I didn't I'd be letting them down. I absolutely love Spider being this character that people saw as an actual character from media rather than an OC, but I also felt like I was starving the community without Spider content. LOL. I definitely regret deleting my Twitter. I think I just starved you guys more, but being in the spotlight like that just felt weird.

I still have a presence on social media from a different account, but I'm not so sure if I want this and that account to collide into each other. Some people have already found out that we are the same person though, and its pretty obvious if you look close enough. I don't intend to "hide" myself and be a completely different person, but that was totally my intention when I first made Pitouhui. It was an escape at first, but soon my accounts were just one in the same, but with different flavors.

2. Will there ever be a prequel/sequel?

At first, I thought a prequel would've been exciting to make, but now that I think about it, there's really not much I could do with the story I have for Spider now. I had such a big idea about Spider's backstory and childhood, but it was stuff that I didn't really need to expand into a totally different game/story. 

For now, I've considered remaking the game. After rewatching gameplay, I'll have to admit the writing was bad. Like, really cringy. The game was rushed for a jam, and I also had to focus on school. Not a good combo. A remake is not set in stone. Nothing has been written, so don't be too excited. Another thing I've considered is making a new game entirely, but I got no ideas for now :P

3. Will you be coming back?

Maybee... I'm thinking about making a Twitter account again but keeping interactions to a minimum. Besides, if I plan on getting that remake going, I'd love to share updates and such.


By the way, thank you to those who still stuck around despite my absence and enjoyed my game <33 I still look at fanart and read comments from time to time. It still makes me incredibly happy and amazed that there was just this small fandom of people for CBAS. If I come back, I'll probably change my username or something.

Very glad to hear from you again, and thank you so much for sharing Caught by a Spider with the world!  It's a unique experience and has stuck with me since I first played it.  If you ever decide to revisit Spider or work on anything with a similar tone, I look forward to seeing the results.

Hi Pitouhui I'm still waiting for your new game. And another thing, you can make the game slowly. I can wait.
