Progress report + Community Recolor 2 shirt color poll results

Hey everyone, time for another CPE update! I won't say the last week went amazingly, but I'm feeling pretty good about it overall. I finished importing all of the new cutscene text into our localization files, got a bit more work done on the Hoverjets rework, and FINALLY finished sifting through the rest of the voice acting I've received so far, which (for some reason) I've been avoidi...

Community Recolor 2 - Shirt color variant poll

Hey everyone, time for the next part of the recolor poll!

In the last poll, we decided on what colors to use for Alicia's shirt, and now we're picking out specific variants. Just like the last few polls, the Discord and Patreon votes were ALMOST consistent, with one exception: here on Patreon, Recolor 2's Brown/Tan had the most votes, but when the votes were combined, Red/Pink ended up wi...

Weekly Progress Report + Community Recolor 2 skin color poll results

Hey everybody! We're finally getting back on a somewhat regular update schedule (though a little later than intended because I was celebrating a friend's birthday), which means it's time for a progress report and the next part of the community recolor poll!

First off, progress report. I don't have much to talk about this week, since I was still out for the count for most of the week thank...

Community recolor 2 begins! Skin color variant poll

Hey everyone! As promised in yesterday's update, today we're starting the second round of community recolors!

Before that, since the weekend post didn't happen, let me just drop the daily updates that would've been posted then; there's barely anything from me due to the medication issues I talked about yesterday, but here they are nonetheless:

Quick update on things, recolor poll coming tomorrow

Hey everyone. I just wanted to put out a quick post here to update you all on what's been happening, and why I've been radio silent for a bit over a week now. Don't worry, it's nothing too serious, but it lead to an EXTREMELY bad mental health week for reasons we'll get into shortly.

Right after making my last update post, I got an email from my therapist's office informing me that the do...

Weekly progress report (continuing localization prep) + Info about next community recolor poll

Hey everyone! Sorry this post is a little later than intended, I had a lot of little things come up the past few days and I've just been feeling a bit overwhelmed, so this post ended up delayed a tad. The good news is, it wasn't because last week was bad productivity wise; I'm actually quite happy with it! I didn't work as many days as I would've liked, but the days I did get work...

Progress Report - 7-21-2024

Hey everyone! So first off, I apologize for skipping last week's update. As you'll see in a bit with the daily updates, I didn't get a damn thing done that week with my depression flaring up, and I avoided making a post purely out of shame. The good news is, despite how terrible that week went, I managed to shake it off and picked up a lot more steam this week, so I'm feeling quit...

Weekly Progress Report + Community recolor 1 final poll results

Hey everyone. Sorry this one is a few days late; I had a depression flareup this week, and I'm trying my best to push myself through it, but it hasn't gone great. Making these progress reports acts as a good mental reset point though, so I'm hoping it'll do that for me today, and next week will be better.

My work week was obviously pretty bad, but not completely nonexistent....

Community recolor 1: Underwear color variant poll

Hey everyone, we're finally here: the last poll for the first batch of community recolors!

Like I said in the last update, because this post is on a NSFW topic, we can't post it publicly here on Patreon; instead, we're holding the poll in a Patron-only post here on Patreon, and also in a publicly available post on our Discord, so the results of the poll on here aren't necessarily going to...

Weekly Progress Report + Community Recolor 1, underwear poll

Hey everyone! Things went pretty well this week, probably about on par with last week. I didn't get as much as I would've liked done, but I finally hit a major milestone: sending off the rewrite scripts to our VAs.

Like I've said, this rewrite is the last major hurdle before we can start working on new content. There's still some rewriting work to be done (the edits are only...

Community recolor 1: Boots color variant poll

Hey everyone - sorry we're a little late on this one, but it's time for the next part of the recolor poll!

This time we're finally finishing up Alicia's primary set of colors with her boots!

For recolor 1, we have black and white boots:

 I tried several white boots and I don't think an...

Weekly Progress Report and Community Recolor 1, boots poll

Hey everyone! Sorry this one's a day late, been really tired the past few days and I woke up to a power outage today as well, so I had to wait for that to resolve before I could post anything.

The good news is, this past week was a solid step in the right direction again! I'm not where I want to be productivity-wise, but I did accomplish my main goal for this w...

Community recolor 1: Eye color variant poll

Hey hey, time for the second poll of the week! We'll be caught back up on the regular schedule after this, so the next poll will be along with the weekly update as usual, and then we won't be spamming your inboxes with another poll every other day.

So the last poll decided what colors we would use, and now we're voting on the specific variants, each of which had a clear winner. Starting o...

Community recolor 1: Eye color poll

Hey everyone, time to pick some more colors! Today we're going to be voting on the eye colors for the current batch of recolors.

Before we get into that, here's our three winners from the last poll:

Recolors 2 and 3 had a pretty clear winner, but we YET AGAIN managed to have a...

Weekly Progress Report and Community Recolor 1, shorts color variant poll (6-17-2024)

Hey everyone, sorry for the radio silence last week. Anxiety has really been kicking my ass, and once again, I got very little done. My appointment was on Friday, and the anxiety finally faded after that was over; I had plans on Saturday so I wasn't able to work then, but come Sunday I was finally feeling good enough to get stuff done, and I did take decent advantage of that, writ...

Weekly Progress Report and Community Recolor 1, shorts color (6-10-2024)

Hey everyone. Not gonna beat around the bush, this was a terrible week for me, productivity-wise.

I had to stop going to therapy at the start of the year because of money issues. Finances have recovered a bit thankfully, so I had my first therapy session of 2024 this week, and since it had been so long since I've had any appointments, I got a ton of appointment anxiety that...

Community Recolors 1: Shirt color poll

It's time once again for the next part of the community recolor poll, and today we're voting on shirt color variants!

First up is Recolor 1, sporting white and black shirts.

Next is Recolor 2, and I can't tell if you guys are just trolling by voting for Blue/Purple every time,...

Weekly Progress Report and Community Recolor 1, shirt color (6-3-2024)

Hey everybody, welcome to another weekly report!

Things went pretty well this week; I managed to work more days than not, and the past few days I got into a writing mood and ended up editing a bunch of cutscene scripts, and writing the entirety of two new cutscenes. With the script for those scenes done, I've just about finished writing all of the brand new cutscenes that ar...

Community Recolors 1: Skin color poll

Hey everyone, time for the next part of the community recolor poll! This time, we're deciding skin colors.

Just as a small note, ignore Alicia's eye color for now! We'll have eye color as one of the poll options later on, but after adding in the skin tones, having a blank black void for eyes looked so strange that I just put in some basic default greys for now.

First up, Alic...

Community Recolor 1, skin color poll ATTEMPT #2

Sorry about that everyone, I forgot to mark the last poll as multiple choice, and it's impossible to change that setting after it goes live, so I just ended the previous poll prematurely and we're going to pretend that didn't happen. The real poll begins NOW!

Weekly Progress Report and Community Recolor 1, skin color poll

Hey everyone, welcome to another weekly update! Things were a little better this week - my quantity of work still needs improving, but I managed to work more days this week than the last few, so I'm calling that a win. I'm going to make it a goal for this next week to do at least 1 thing for CPE every day, even if it's small, so we'll see how that affects my overall productivity!<...

Community Recolors 1: Jacket color poll

Hey everyone! Sorry this is a day late, but we're here again with the next color poll for the first community recolor. This time, we're deciding jackets!

First up is recolor 1, white hair. The red/pink color option won, so here's two variants of each to choose between:

Next up...

Weekly Progress Report and Community Recolor 1, jacket color (5-20-2024)

Hey everyone, sorry this post is a day late! It's for a very justifiable and not at all dumb reason: I discovered the Mario Builder 64 romhack and I got all swept up in making levels for that :^) I can't wait to start making 3D games of my own, it's a breath of fresh air after designing 2D environments for such a long time.

In any case, this week was similar to last week - some goo...

Community Recolors 1: Hair color variants!

Time for part 2 of the first community recolor poll!

First off, I've been thinking more about how I want these polls to work, so we can get through recolors at a reasonable pace without inundating you guys with a poll every single day, so here's how the voting will work:

Instead of voting for 1 recolor at a time, we're going to do 3!

Every week, I'll post a poll along with the...

Weekly Progress Report (5-13-2024)

Hey everyone, time for another CPE progress report!

This week was a little good, a little bad. It's been a stressful week for adult content creators for reasons I'd rather not get into here, and I was still struggling with productivity most of the week - but the past few days have been improving a lot. I managed to fix my sleeping schedule (at least for the moment), so I'm actually waking...

Community recolor 1: Hair color poll

Welcome to the first ever CPE community recolor poll!

So, the structure of these polls is very much still up in the air. I've been indecisive as heck about how I want to handle them, so I decided to just start doing them and see what happens. If the format doesn't feel right, we'll shake it up until we find what works.

All that to say, if you have any ideas, please don't hesitate to...

CPE Dev Log - 5-6-2024 (Birch and Soldier animation updates, save screen, damage numbers, and recolor polls)

Hey everyone. Getting it out of the way asap, the past week of development still wasn't good for me, and I'm sorry. Puffernutter went out of town on a family trip and I've just been feeling kinda bummed/lonely, so I've been spending time around my friends more, and didn't end up getting much done again. She's coming home later this week, so with any luck I'll be feeling better then.

In th...

Weekly Progress Report - 4-29-2024

Hey everyone, sorry I'm a day late with the update! My sleeping schedule has been uhh.. let's just say "not scheduled", and I lost track of the day.

So, to be upfront, the past week didn't go super great for me. I mentioned last week that my depression was flaring up, and that continued through most of this week, amd I've been feeling pretty overwhelmed by responsibilities and general lif...

Weekly Progress Report (4-22-2024)

Hey everyone. Last week, I mentioned that I would be doing a full devlog this week, but it's going to be another relatively short progress report instead, sorry. My depression has been flaring up this week and my productivity/motivation are falling behind a bit, so I don't have as much to talk about as I was hoping.

I managed to keep some momentum so I'm not at a complete standstill, than...

Weekly Progress Report (4-14-2024)

Hey everyone! It's Sunday, which means it's time for another weekly progress report.

I don't have too much to talk about this week; my wrist is feeling better, so I'm able to be consistently productive again, as long as I don't stress it out too hard. Most of what I worked on this week was bug fixes for v0.47, so I haven't made too much progress on v0.48 yet. Thankfully, v0.47 seems prett...
