Hi, everybody.
I hope you've had a great week. Here's what we have worked on since our last report:
Chestnut:
Chestnut dedicated her week to a very complex background with interactable objects that is twice as wide as our other backgrounds. The extra width is so that we can also use it as a cutscene in a specific event that requires character sprite...

I hope you've had a good week and are ready to enjoy your weekend. Chestnut and I have been busy, and here's a summary of our work:

With each update, we make the World of our game a little bigger, and although that usually takes the form of new background locations, we also have other towns and cities on the World map to unlock gradually. Although what will be added depends on the character we're working on, we're curious to learn what our patrons like to see first.
So:

She worked on two unfinished backgrounds advancing quite a bit, and also did two images from a large cutscene. The images were pretty sexy, and we did consider sharing them as spoilers but decided against it since they sort of lead to a sex scene, and we like to keep those f...

Hi, everybody.
In most of our updates we have had paintings displayed around the world -- usually slightly more NSFW versions of famous works -- and for the 0.7 release, too, we're going to have one such artwork. This one, though, is not based on any famous painting and is designed by Chestnut herself. Please note that due to its location, this artwork doesn't need more detail. You can se...

Hi, everybody.
I'm happy to start this report by saying that we've had a very good week workwise: I've been helping Chestnut with the kids, and so she has been able to advance several of her tasks. Of course, there's a lot to improve, but overall it's great to gradually get back to the work schedule that we're familiar with.
