Sam Tail

Robin helping out the boys

Robin finally gets to have some fun while hanging out after school. As most are aware, once friendly enough she starts hanging out with Sammy and the boys after school. But only if the weather isn't nice or else she runs off to the beach.

But where is she? And Dan has vanished as well.

Playtesting quality of life

So like I mentioned last week, I have been playing through the game and fixing, adding and expanding on anything I see that needs it. This has resulted in what I think are some nice, albeit somewhat minor, changes.

I was getting annoyed always expanding the mirror button to put makeup on, so decided to use the same button style as I have with the NPC's. Having the most common button activ...

Playing and fixing

Now that I am trying to fix everything up for a public release, I have been playing through the game from the start and fixing up anything that is missing, incomplete or broken. 

One issue I ran into is it's far too easy to just forget to pay rent. So now Sammy has some mini events where she just talks to herself about how she needs to pay. Oskar also comes to the flat every Sunday a...

Flatmates update progress report pt2

I had hoped I would have a release before needing to write this. But I ended up adding a lot more features and things kind of went from there.

Paying rent.

The ability to pay rent was recently added. And not just for you but also Robin and future flatmates. I am not sure ho...

More cleaning

I didn't quite have time this week to complete the images I started on so this update is a bit light on new things to show off. I have been working on more work CGs for Sammy cleaning up.

This one also comes with a version of her being bent over the desk, but with all the clothes and facial expre...

Maid Sammy cleaning up

So, I have decided that I will expand the cleaning job a little. I had wondered how I would deal with some of the mini jobs like cleaning the trucks, the motel and the like in a nice consistent way. And the solution I have came up with is to kind of make them all the same job.

While it wont really be the same job as all the locations are different and unrelated, it is a good way to have a...

Maid in heaven

Probably the most requested outfit is finally in. I decided that Sammy can reduce rent by cleaning up around the housing area. She first starts out in her normal clothes, then is given some dungarees by Oskar. Later on she will be asked to wear something "nicer" while cleaning up.

Cleaning events...

Paying up

This week has been about getting Sammy and Robin to pay rent. First of all the landlord got an office.

I realised while taking this screenshot that Oskar is probably a bit too small.

Oskar also needs a way to track rent payments and if Sammy is ahead or behind so I have been working on that...

Giving the house a (mis)makeover

So something that has been needed for a while is a bedroom for Robin. But I knew the rest of the house needed a bit of work to match the lore better. The house is supposed to be not very nice. Not quite Haven level of decay but not a nice modern household either. So I got to work on this stuff.

I...

Backgrounds and locations

Last week I showed some new backgrounds and commented about how something about them felt off to me. The feedback I received was positive but I still had a nagging feeling until I realised what the issue was. I made a mistake with the courtyard image with messed with the perspective. So it kind of ended up like a tiny Sammy is a huge world. Not really noticeable in still images but very much so...

Rabbit Robin

As you might be able to guess from the title, I decided to have Robin work with Sammy in the casino if she falls into debt. So of course she needs a leotard too. 

Since she is involved in a lot of content already, I decided that she was forced to comb her hair while working at the casino. Ca...

Clothes galore

A few weeks ago I posted a picture of Sammy wearing her casino/bunny outfit. Now I have decided to add Robin to the casino as well I was giving the outfit a bit more thought. The problem I was running into was that the job is supposed to be the most seedy of the three major planned jobs. But the pub dress was much more revealing.

Robin paying the rent

Since a release went out yesterday, most people might have already seen this. But for those who haven't I will show it off anyway. Robin doesn't seem to work a consistent job so coming by some cash might be hard for her. So how will she get by with paying off her debts?

I still haven't decided ye...

The Fixer v0.3.1.20 downloads

This release heavily focuses on Robin and fleshing out the areas that she inhabits. A lot of work has also went into other NPCs as well as backgrounds. Full changelog below.

I wanted to get the landlord in as well for this release. But while work on him/rent has started, I just wouldn't have had time to bug test and I wanted to get this out before the end of the month. So his stuff will a...

Scenes for Robin

Updating and getting scenes in for Robin has been the bulk of work this week as well as changes how interaction with the soccer boys work. 

It's now possible to initiate sex with them regardless of what time it is as long as they are out back drinking. If it happens to be daylight, Sammy will take her partner into the locker rooms. If it is night and she has had sex with all of them ...

Bunny girl Sammy

Right now I am pretty comfortable where Robins story/events are, so am pushing to wrap things up for her. Just need now to do a bunch of art for her with the soccer boys/pub folk/landlord/vball boys/Sammy...

Ok, so a fair bit still to do. And her events wont be totally done since she will interact with the other flatmates. But for now it's time to move on.

I did do some more girl gi...

Gagging Sammy and lezzing Robin

Ended up getting a bit side tracked with some other tasks the past couple of weeks, but this week we are back to Robin and her escapades. A lot of new conversations have been written for her, including telling her dirty stories and inviting her to have fun with he soccer boys. Art has also been done for where she is hanging out as you can see with this pic.

Filling out the characters.

Probably a long post today.

Background characters.

So last week I showed off an image of the girls around the volleyball court and it added so much life to the area. After that I also added some characters to the firepit for hanging out in the evening.

Personally I th...

Completing the beach cast

The final two additions to the beach cast has been drawn and will be part of the main characters to hang out with. Including Robin and Sandy, this will make it four girls and two guys. Although I think shady guy will be expanded a bit so that may make it 3 guys. But he will be dealt with a lot later.

On the left we have Zahra and the right is Erika. They will spend the day playing volleyb...

Making Sammy air tight

Air tight was a word I learned on discord so thought I would use it here. One path on the beach can lead her in a very poked situation. I thought I would work on this scene because it will also work very well for the soccer boys, though it can be used with one or two men with her as well. Image is still being worked on so there are some layering issues.

Wardrobe expantion

The Emile date stuff took a bit of a back seat this week as I had a lot of real life things to deal with and running back and fourth to government offices (an of course waiting hours in queues). So instead I decided to draw some new outfits to wear.

You may recognise some of the outfits as I dec...

The beach boys

Most of you have probably seen them from my public post yesterday, but here we have the beach boys. Mateo and Kaan.

They are typical beach pretty boys who will pose and show off at the beach. They will probably be first met with Emile while you are relaxing at the beach with her in the early game...

Flatmates update progress report pt1

Like with the 3.0 update, I will start doing progress reports until its release. I call this pt1 but I am hopeful that it will be released before there is a need for pt2. But things don't always go as intended.

Introducing Robin.

More fun in the sun

Beach dates with Emile continue this week. Sammy and Emile here are laying on the beach gossiping away.

I decided to expand some of the images a bit more to allow for more usage. So the image above can also have Sammy hanging out with other girls, namely Robin. Also the image shown last week only...

Beach date with Emile

I decided this week to take a bit of a break on doing stuff for Robin and switched over to Emile for a bit. During the first days where she is living with you, she will show you around town, give you more information about the city and generally get to know her more. 

Once such event is a trip to the beach with her. You arrive and if you don't have any beach appropriate clothes, she ...

Stealing Robins clothes

Work this week has been on expanding the storylines with Robin. After following her into the alleyway and finding her entertaining a group of men, Sammy now has the chance to lighten her load and have some fun herself.

Can't wait until I do some of the CGs from the prostitution update so I can do...

Robin gone wild.

Work this week went on expanding events for Robin. If Sammy has the bimbo perk or other "promiscuous" perks, a chain can trigger where Robin confesses she always wondered what it was like for girls who highlight their sex appeal and expresses a desire to try it out. This sends Sammy off to the needle girls who think Sammy is dressing up for Tucker again. Complete with two brand new outfits, she...

Let's talk about the confidence mechanic

Since the first release of The Fixer, the most common complaint about it has in some way to do with the confidence mechanic. This post is about gathering peoples thoughts, presenting an idea I have and generally to start a conversation on the subject to hear as much as I can before doing anything about it.

The purpose of this mechanic of to add a small sense of progression to the game so ...
