I Live

And I'm back. And I finally feel healthy.

And I'm fired up.

It seems that some of you completely lost hope at this point, so I'll see what I can do to change that.

Next Wednesday to Friday.
Keep your eyes peeled. That's all I'll say.

Also, the Poll. Please press it, it's important

In a long game with lots of lew...

Bad News and Some Good News

I wanted to post this image with the waiting room post with some clever title related to "buried in work"... Well I'm posting it anyway.

The bad news: Pledges paused again, no release in November either

The Good(?) news: I'm getting hospitalized until the end of the week. Hopefully by then I'll get rid of a chronic issue that's been plaguing me for ...

Friday Micro-Post

Hello, and happy late Thanksgiving for those that celebrated it.

This is another auto-pilot post, and it's a day late, without a changelog, but next Tuesday we'll have a good proper one, as I will finally be back at my work-station.
High chance of good news on Tuesday too.

So until then.

Thursday Post

Still haven't fully recovered, still need more time.
Can't really take it easy and rest either, because the universe decided that November will be the month where all kinds of "real-life" urgent matters will fall on my head and will require immediate attention.

Feeling slightly better though, made some kind of mysterious preview to commemorate that.
Surely next Thursday will be the ...

Still Need More Time After All

Still haven't fully recovered after my flu.
It's been a week since I've had any fever, but I still feel weak and tired, don't have any appetite and have trouble sleeping.
(Also lost 3kg of weight over 2 weeks, although I can't say I'm a fan of this weight-loss method).

Managing my real-time responsibilities and the development has been quite exhausting for the past few weeks.

You can expect the Tier 3-4 Release next Wednesday or Thursday(or Friday if there are complications).  So between 8th and 10th.
Release dates for Tiers 1 and 2 will be posted after Tier 3-4 release.

Poll about name for new release will be posted on Sunday or Monday.


Sorry I can't make it sooner, my release schedule for last week was pretty tight, and nothing got d...

Flu Announcement[+ Delay]

I have an uncanny ability to jinx myself.

I've been hit with a flu on Thursday and spent last 3 days in fever-dream hell.

Still sick and recovering(but no fever anymore at least), so:
- Pledges for October paused because no release
- Release will be delayed by the amount of days I will spend sick

So if for example I'll recover by Tuesday, I'll post new rele...

Mini-Poll[Technical]

Hello.

Dealing with a cold at the moment, so this post will be a short miscellaneous poll, and we'll have a big proper post on Friday or Sunday.

So:
I've been experimenting with adding potions that limit Serena's lewd levels, or temporary reduce it. It's purely a gameplay mechanic, but w...

Sorry for big delay between posts, here are some release dates.

Tier 3 & 4: October 31(Tuesday)
Tier 2: November 2
Tier 1(public): November 5

Still unsure about the name of the release, so there might be a poll about that(I think we had one already, but that was ages ago). Version number will also come later.

Sunday Preview: Dress-Up Accident

Hello.

Vote on which one to use in-game. 

This is a preview of a "limited-wardrobe" pose that will be used in events when Serena's taking off/putting on her panties(and possibly ambushed during it).

Limited wardrobe poses are poses that are only available for some outfits(work only, or ...

Brief Sequel News

Hello!

No changelog changes this week, but there are good news nonetheless.

I finally finished re-formatting of all in-game image sets. I've been doing it in the background all this time, and the past few days were spent on the "final push".
Before re-formatting there was around 6.2k images in the folder, and after... there's just above 6 thousand.
And that's with 4 new image...

Outfit Experiments

Hello.

Over the past week when I was taking breaks from finalizing the upcoming release, I dabbled with some outfit experiments, and now there's a big enough pile of them to share with you all.

This post is a showcase of some outfit ideas, variations of existing outfits, and a presentation of a new feature that I think will fit into the game nicely(if fully implemented).
Also som...

Sequel News

Hello.

I bring some bad and good news.

Development went on too slowly to wrap everything up this month, so pledges paused for September.

But the list is almost complete, despite the earlier setback.

Miscellaneous Preview

Hello,

Today was supposed to be a poll day, with previews, but there's been a hickup.

Yesterday and today I've been dealing with a bug I randomly discovered.  
It started off as a "Serena's selfies don't reflect the wet clothes transparency levels", and it's taking me a while to fix it.

So instead here's a selfie-themed bath preview, and the poll will be postponed unti...

Sequel News

Hello.

The work is progressing at a good rate, despite some setbacks. I've started to package together all the events and features and began the playtest-marathon.
If the pace continues, by next Monday there should be enough done to warrant a release date post.

Also there might be a poll posted later this week.

Release Changelog:

Poll Results/Saturday Preview

Hello.

It's been a slow development week, and there's not much to report, but I didn't want to have the whole week without any posts, so here's a little preview.

Currently I'm working on a bunch of roadmaps(heh) that connect various sections of the town, and can be traversed by Serena on her bike. So the preview is bike-themed.

I have the whole weekend to myself, so I'll spend...

Friday Preview: Transfer Student

Alright, I have some previews.

The first one is made to commemorate an undercover student event I'm working on.
And then there are various "Picking Up" image set variations I've came up with.

There are two standing positions, and two variations of crouching pick up.
I like all of them, so there will be a 2023-09-08 22:14:57 +0000 UTC View Post

Hello.

I'm a bit late with the news post - caught a cold exactly on the first of September. I guess it works as a way to celebrate the arrival of autumn.

Anyway, I've recovered and here's a small preview, and some info about the state of the upcoming release.

Mini-News Post

Hello.

It's post number 500 under Succulence 2 tag, but there's not much to report.

Well, there was something to report - I've spent two days working on a pantyhose replacer for Serena, because I came up with a new skin-tight pantyhose.
I was preparing a poll for it with previews for the 500th post, but then I gave it some thought, and decided that the old one is good enough. View Post

Preview Post: Workplace

Hello,

Not much to report in terms of development, so I made some previews while I was working on CG's for a new prologue event.

I'll share the event CG sample in my next preview post.

Also I'm working on Serena's O-face that will be available for her dialogue image sets.
Here's an example:

Development News

Hello,

Took me some extra time to make this post, but it was worth it,

Because:
- I made Serena's skirt flutter from the wind when she's outside
It's not finalized yet: I'm debating whether to make a new weather mode called "Windy" that will trigger the effect, or to make some windy spots on the map
P.S. The tie flutter is only for the preview, in the game it will be stiff,...

A Poll About NPC's[Technical]

Hello,
Sorry for a big gap between posts - I was supposed to post this on Monday, but life got in the way.
And I have another post I want to do this week about development, so we'll do the poll today, and Sequel News on Friday.

This poll is about a feature I developed a while back, and now that I'm sitting here wondering whether to finish it or not - I figured I'd ask your opinion....

Friday Preview: Mirror

Hello.

It has been a kind of boring development week.
I've been editing in-game maps pretty much all the time since Monday.
A bunch of maps got updated to adjust their layout, or got more points of interst added. All the changes will be utilized by events in the future.

I didn't want to make a post only about the changes, because there's no good way to show them off(in-editor ...

Poll Results, With a Touch of Sequel News

Hello.

There's been two polls about unfinished features, and so it's time to conclude them, and show a little bit of work that had been done over last week.

First of all, out of the big list of unfinished features, two got many votes:
- NPC approach mechanic
- Side Jobs for Serena(Just one for now)

So I'll spend my efforts this month to get those two working.

List of Unfinished Features To Be Included In The Release

Hello again.

I gave it some thought, and I think that rather than listing ALL features from Succulence 2, I'll list a few that are the biggest AND the most unfinished currently(The rest will get a separate post.).

And you get to judge which ones you want to see in the next release, and which ones can wait until later.

The list:
