Sorry it's been so long since the last update. Unfortunately I'm still struggling with a couple areas that are badly needed before the next update, which is a lengthy story event in The Penitentiary, and (of course) The Mines.
Here's a list of what I need to do before the next update:
The Blackwood: 90% (needs Lightlocks and a small sub area)
The Mines, Levels 5-10: 10% (...
2016-11-27 14:30:57 +0000 UTC View PostI just finished the 2nd boss for The Blackwood. Just one more to go! Of course there's also The Blackwood Manor, but I'll get started on that after I finish up with The Blackwood and Penitentiary, since it's really like a whole new area. It really needs some snazzy puzzles to spice things up. :D
Well actually there's 4 bosses in The Vinery, but one of them is circunstantial. I also revamped Harl...

Mavis finished Charlene and the background, so here's what we have so far.
There's still Vallerie and Clarinda left to do, and the image will change (characters moved around) during the game's development. I'm pretty happy with it, even as it is. Looking forward to getting the other two kids on there, but it'll have to wait about a week (Mav is rather busy with stuff right now).&nbs...

And here's Marissa. I really love that hair. :D

I think she looks fantastic! Hopefully you'll think so too. :)
The harp is a little bit of a spoiler, but not too much, I think.
I was considering leaving off her dress because I liked the design of her undies so much, but she just looked too naked without it. xD I think the sheer nightie worked out very well.

There's a few small changes I'd like made to Nadie. I'd like her face to be a little smaller, and her hair to be more curly. She also needs a dark glow around her left hand (right side of pic), similar to the glow effect ...

Gonna need $110 to commission the other artist. (ouch!) for a Patreon cover piece. In the meantime.. why not get some more cheap art from Mavruda? :)
I'm going to commission him to draw the full cast. I am thinking of using it a...

Just to be safe, all characters are 18+ years old.

I had to leave after approving the line version. I kinda wish she could have had a softer, more petite look to her. This piece was $20. It would have been $10 but I decide...

I thought I'd try out a few more artists while I derp around (I keep trying to fix up Harlequin, but then I decide I don't feel like it, quit, and play a game or derp around on the internet instead).
But anyways.. this piece is by Digi-Hazard, aka Loli-Hazard.

2016-11-12 05:04:01 +0000 UTC View PostProgress is slow, but there is some of it. I started work on the 2nd Blackwood boss fight now. It's just scenery so far.. because I spent a while looking for an animated water wheel (which doesn't seem to exist). Besides, I wanted one that was huge, like 256x256. In the end I decided to go with: Oh, look, there's a waterfall.. some wood, broken stuff.. I bet there was a water wheel here! But now i...
2016-10-30 19:32:10 +0000 UTC View PostSince finding an artist is entirely too time consuming (not to mention the stress),
I've decided to put it on hold for a while so I can put more of my focus on game development.
With that said, I finished up a story even in The Blackwood and that section is now 50% complete (not including Mansion Black, but that's its own thing). Actually I might rename it to Mansion Blackwood... Or doe...
I figured it wouldn't hurt to give another artist a try. Just $10. Doesn't hurt to try, right?

I guess Obakawaii decided not to run the line drawing by me before moving on to coloring.
Here's a nude version. Not exactly explicit, but she would be 18+ for any nudes.

One of the boss fights in The Blackwood has been sucking away all my time lately. Namely because I've had to put a lot of thought and effort into making it possible to complete.
One measure was to include a new neutral entity in battles, the Phoenix Shroom. It likely won't show up very often, but I might include it randomly in later vinery battles. It will basically keep reviving your enem...
Just noticed something. I might want to move their placement down a little.
Anyway, these were made with Tyler Warren's cutesy battlers, modified a bit
and given a slight bobbing animation (what self respecting ghost doesn't bobble
a bit?). I also need to fix the red guy's glow. Some of it got cut off at the bottom. :(
Just wanted to share that things are moving along again. Thi...

The green circle I mentioned. The three blue circles I didn't, but the chest line should show up when she corrects the green circle. Her mouth will probably change during the lining process anyway, and the knee hole should disappear as well.
I used a slightly different lightlock system for The Avalost (west of The Tower). Has anyone solved those and/or know if they're working properly yet? I'm a little concerned that the light might not be coming on properly, and need to know before I start applying it to other new areas.
I know there are some issues with the wyvern bosses if you've already defeated them from when they were in...

I was pretty happy with the finished sketch (see attachment). She's still working on the line drawing/regular colored version (which cost $65, and the cost to rainbow sketch her was $18). I don't know. I'm just rather unhappy with the ra...
Sorry I haven't been posting as much lately. I've been a bit depressed and honestly haven't enjoyed doing anything. I had stopped taking a daily B12 vitamin, so that might be the problem. Started again today.
Today I took a break from the storyline stuff to work on The Blackwood. I've fully fixed up two of the four monster encounters so far. One of the remaining monsters ended up with some...
I'm currently working with Obakawaii (http://www.furaffinity.net/user/obakawaii/ ) to try and get a good concept piece / character reference of Marissa.
There are still a few minor changes to be made (just little things that ...
The long story event is only about 10% done now, mostly due to me being too lazy to work on it. I think it will be best if I just go through and put the basic stuff (dialogue, progression, etc..) and then go back later to spruce it up with graphical improvements, corrections, etc..
You know those little story cut scenes in Stardew Valley? It's kinda like those, but like 10 all at once. I'm...
There was some confusion to clear up, but I'm hoping everything is clear now. There might be a reduction in the cost because of the new clarity, but I'm uncertain. I feel like I have a good idea of all the options now. I'd really like to know your thoughts on this, so please post and let me know!

I've started a discussion with Obakawaii about the latest commission, which is an animation of course. I still need more information and will keep ya'll updated but currently it sounds like it could cost around $750, which would pretty much suck the Patreon coffers dry for the next 5+ months. It seems I have underestimated artist costs yet again. xP
BUT I might be able to get it cheaper if ...
As before, you'll need the audio folder from a previous version.
There's not much difference between this and the previous version, except that now leaves can properly be changed into cloth and water without the game giving you a hard time about it (or wasting leaves).
Also, the transmutation spell should work better now. I don't know if the change will fix the game locking up duri...
