I had a pretty productive week working on this little pseudogame I've been making inside of WDD. I've added more mechanics to it, so now you can smash open walls and use keys on doors! I just want to add a few more enemies and a boss fight, and then I can check this one off my list. I didn't expect this thing to become as large as it did, but I also think it's very funny when games have smaller...

Hey all!
Sorry it's been a minute. IRL work got a little more intense and a lot of my "I'll deal with it eventually"s turned into "I have to deal with it now"s. But! I have been doing as much work as I can on both of the final CGs for this update!
As soon as these are done and implemented, I just have to finish off the pseudo game, and then we're ready for a release! Sorry this is ...

Hey all!
Sorry this is late again. :\ I find that I am compelled to put together something to show in these previews every week and sometimes I just can't gather enough content to show that I'm proud of, so how about some that's still super in progress. This is the CG image for the Thrall character I showed off earlier. I wanted to try a weird position with this one and I landed on the wh...

Hey all!
Sorry this was a little late, this weekend has been really busy. I spent some of my dev time this week stitching up disparate pieces of content for the next update so that all the little event flags connect up the way they should. Now you can go from the beginning of the game through all of the neighbor stuff up to getting the games from them and being able to play them.

Hey all!
This week was weird. As I'm sure you're aware, there have been fires all over my city and we had a close call around mid-week where I wasn't sure if I was gonna have a house by today, but fortunately, I still do!
As for progress, I've been kind of working on all four CGs for this next update at once, but I wanted to have something to show this week, so I went hard on the on...

Hey all!
Hope you had a good holiday season. I've been working on the final character bust for this update, the lich's trusty undead thrall. This individual is responsible for keeping track of many valuable things for the lich, including one specific one that she won't want to lose! Maybe with the right bribe, you could procure that very valuable item from the thrall? But what could an un...

Hey all!
Had a bunch of family over for the holiday and just got a moment to post this. I'm making steady progress on one of the new scenes for the dungeon world. You'll need to search chests for keys to progress, but beware, some of these chests are not as mundane as they may seem! Perhaps some of the dungeon's denizens will have some insight for you? Or maybe you're the type who'll blun...

Art stuff is happening!
I've been in a drawing mood this week so I've been tackling some of the characters/CGs that I will need for the next build. The dungeon world dream has a lot of things that you can interact with that produce art, so I want to do as much of that as possible while I still have the art brain happening.
This week still had some meetings and last minute things for...

This week was a lot with the holiday, plus I caught a cold last weekend which I am still fighting, AND upgraded to a new machine which I am still in the process of setting up. I should have something for you next week though, so stay tuned!

With the movement system finished, I moved onto adding some interaction to this little mini game. First, I added in the health system. Each time you take damage from an enemy or change rooms, you lose 1 food. At 0 food, you receive a game over and are booted back to the apartment.
Next, I built in...
I finally got this working!
What you see occurring here is an entirely new game loop, running inside of WDD! It took quite a bit of Ruby to get it to function the way I wanted, but the character in this mini-game now manages it's own movement and collision logic independent of RPG Maker's own in-built system. In other words, I coded a game from scratch within an RPG Maker game. Why? Becau...

Hey all!
This week I started by polishing up Mindi's Mansion a bit and ended up adding one last little bit of additional content to it! It's a few variations to the scene where Mindi is caught based on your preferences which are set at the beginning of the game. This new build will remain as a special Patron-only benefit for now.
Then, I transitioned over to where I left off with WD...

In order to finish Mindi's Mansion on time, a good deal of planned content had to be cut, and while I am happy to return to Wet Dream Diary at this point, I also wanted to hear from you.
Do you want more Mindi's Mansion content? Here's my list of features that were part of my initial game design doc:
Each trapped room would have a different scene thematic...

Hi all!
30 minutes left of Sunday, I made it! Here is the game I've been working on this October, It's called Mindi's Mansion and it features 2 different endings with full artwork! This one was tough. I'm finding out that art assets really are the biggest bottleneck for my work. In the future, I think I'd like to investigate something with 3D models to make some of this work easier, but a...

Hi all!
Finale scene is in! Still needs some more work, but it's coming along! I've also started work on one of the trap scenes that can occur if you lose the game. Not positive that I'll get them all finished by Halloween, but we'll see.
Okay, that's all I've got for now, seeya!

It's happening y'all.
This week, I've been working on the other character for this game as well as getting the RenPy project set up for it. I've never used RenPy before, but I know Python pretty well and the documentation looks fairly straightforward.
It's been nice to draw characters with somewhat exaggerated features and I think the cuter character designs will really make this g...

Hey all, seeing that spooky season is upon us, I decided to try out drawing a character in a new style. I ended up enjoying this so much, I wanted to do something more with it. So, I've decided to give a shot to making a Halloween game again.
Don't expect anything too crazy, it'll likely be this character mostly getting into hi-jinks in a visual novel format. At least that's my plan now, ...

Yo.
Had a pretty productive week. I picked up basically exactly where I left off - adding more to the neighbor. Your first in-person encounter with them is about borrowing one of their old favorite video games which necessitated a game-in-a-game situation so you can actually play the thing. I've been playing UFO 50 a bit lately which I think informed the design. Weird, culty NES game with...

Hi all.
It's been a weird couple of months. How are you guys? I've been trying to get some work done for the past few weeks, but I am finding that art block has set in somewhat. I figured a good way to push through that would be to redesign my profile picture and I'm happy to see that all the art juice hasn't left me. More to come soon. Possibly an update to that Twine game from forever a...

I still want to have an update out before the summer is done, but as you can imagine, this has thrown a pretty big wrench into my plans.
Next time you hear from me will be with a new update, but I'm gonna need a couple weeks to deal with this.

This week is more neighbor stuff! I've got all their interactions scripted up to the first real scene with them which is what you're seeing above. They ask you if you play games over the phone one day and then offer to lend you some of theirs to try. This obviously means that you'll need to go get them!
On top of this, I managed to accrue some tech debt with the way that I des...

The final two images are art that's currently in progress. The first of these is a look at a conversation sprite for the neigh...

Hey all!
After the recent release I've been wanting to work on the game's ending, so I finally got to creating the last major dream layer: Esoterica. This layer is at the bottom and acts a a sort of sink that all dreamworlds lead into eventually. It is also the location of all the endgame content such as the white door and the toggles to unlocking level 2 scenes. This is a really early lo...

I was away for a few days this weekend without internet so I couldn't post a preview on Sunday like usual. Continuing work on the scene gallery has had me looking at old CG images a lot, hence the Punk's improvements. The vampire lady was another that has always been kind of bothersome. Short of redrawing the whole thing, I spent some time improving the face and adding some extra...

Didn't think you'd get another preview the day after a public build release, did you?
Surprise! I've been working on implementing a scene gallery! Right now, the way that it works is agnostic of whether or not you've actually found any specific scenes. In other words, all of the game's kinky content is basically available from word go. I am worried that this will destr...
