Hey again folks!
This poll is open to the $10+ supporters! There are no spoilers here.
The 9th character route hasn't been fully formed yet, but I was told that it's going to be about a foxy character (with the ears and tail). As of now, it's supposedly going to be ambiguous on whether she's a goddess or a regular person pretending to be one.
The poll question is:

Hey folks!
This one took a little longer to redo since I have to redraw certain time consuming areas, like the face. All of the WIPs right now need one more step before they're ready for animation. I have 4 more to do to catch up to the work done before, so maybe those will be done by this coming week.
Guys, my apologies if you guys have to sit through these again :P I'm power p...

Hey folks!
Here's the redo of the 2nd special scene! I'm hoping I get to reuse the bones on this one, but I'll probably have to redo parts of the animation.
This is one of those cases where drawing the guy makes some sense due to the camera and position.
I'll put this aside for now. On to the next one!

Hey folks!
I'm trying to see how fast I can get my stuff up to speed with where we are now, and it looks like I might be able to do that. This is the redo of the first special scene. I'll see if I can do away doing the MC since that's going to free me up from a lot of constraints. There might be 3 levels of how the MC is going to be drawn in:
Hey folks!
Just a bit of an update from me!
I've just finished up what what supposed to be a quick code merging job, but ended up tidying the fan translation area of the game. Summer In Springtime's being translated into Czech right now thanks to @JohnSmit. The translation tool I've got here now supports and generates permutations of lines where there's (n)sfw/sfw text and gender pronoun t...

Hey folks!
I'm about done with these character avatar designs. Now I need to prepare them for animation then move onto the special events. I'm keeping the collab version on another branch of the game for now as we figure out how to keep collaborating at this point. What I think will happen is, line art and maybe shading can be given to the collab artist and both versions of the game can sh...

Hey folks!
Ok so I hear y'all like the old look, so I took the liberty of taking some of the old elements into our new design. Gotta keep in mind though, that this new look I have here really won't be matching up with the old look because of style differences. She has the other hair style as well as this one. Her hair here was a little hard to do for some reason.

I'm in the middle of bringing Ise to life. I hope y'all like this. I gave her a minty look, extra big tits, and a tanned skin tone cuz gyarus are awesome lol! I wanted a little more exotic look this time around. Now just imagine her being a home-body ;)
Hey folks!
I've been working on these for the past few days now, and those pledging 10 and up have been able to see (in all R18+ glory) what these were first. Now that I've done the clothes, here we are, it's now available to our 2+ pledgers. I'm in the middle of fixing up Minako's clothes.
So what's going on now is that I'm revamping Summer in Springtime's artwork and taking over th...

Hey folks!
Yesterday, I've been working on the finished look, trying to see how much time it'd take to achieve this. I've been tormented by a plugin that took some time to understand and control. As you can see, this is the result. I'll be taking back control of the shading and coloring.
I just hope I can maintain consistency, since this was a problem before. The special scenes will probab...

Hey folks!
;) I tried making the girls a little thicc-er this time, but just around the waist. Our girl's hair will have gradient funk. Summer's outfits are done. I'm just letting them sit there since I may have changes later on.
My artwork's undergoing some changes as I try to establish a new aesthetic standard for Summertime. I've looked around and I think it'd be best to have:
Hey folks!
I know you guys have been itching for some uh... material ;) And doing that menu thing is a pain in the butt, so redoing Summer/Chieko is a refreshing change of pace. I'm still not done with the menu, so I'll have to bounce between the two.
I've kept some of the aesthetic of the previous design when it comes to the facial details. I'm still thinking whether to do a full s...
2018-06-26 06:26:33 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks,
I've given the art situation some thought. Given the decline in quality, I think I'll need to step up here and get these done myself. I initially thought of redoing everything from scratch, but that would probably set back the project months again. So to not take away from the current progress of the project here's what I'll probably be doing:
1.) All the character avatars...

Hey folks!
I'm trying to figure things out right now. The fixes for the Summer in Springtime special scenes came in, and I gotta tell you, if I'm being honest about the quality, it's a hit-or-miss with this set. So I'd like to get your opinion on these - do you like what you see here? The image is 2000px in width, you'll have to zoom in to see what it looks like to see the flaws.

Hi folks,
There's a new possible cause for the game just blacking out, or doesn't continue past skipping the prologue. This mainly affects the web version.
Our games use localStorage, so if this is full for NewGrounds or uploads.ungrounded.net or Gamejolt or Itch.io, the game will not work properly. The error is silent and will cause the game to not conti...

Ok! I've edited this post again... Let's do this once more! It looks like I didn't clean up the project of Crosswalk stuff enough in the test build earlier. Now the build system only throws in a single ARM APK file. At first I was baffled by this, but then I realized that the multi APK output seemed to be tied to the Crosswalk add-on. So no more Crosswalk means no more multi platform ...

Time flew by pretty quickly. Oh crap.
I'm still stuck creating the menu system I have in mind. Good new is that I think I'm getting to the halfway mark. I kinda knew it was going to be messy again, and yeah, it sucks to do this again, but it has to be done D: . I think the titlescreen was done over several updates, too, so while I think I can get it done faster than before, it's...

Here are 5 different builds of the demo version for Android devices. I've updated our build tools (took a risk here cuz it might've gone broke and we don't have Android builds anymore.) Can you guys give these builds a test run?
I tested out all ARM builds, and it seems to run as expected. The 64-bit seem to be the fastest out of the 3, but in certain routes, the game still slow...

One of you guys sent us a bug report on the Android version where the text shows up as incomplete or doesn't show up at all. Do you see the above problems as well? This was on an Galaxy S8 running Android 8.0.
