Weekly dev blog: Almost there (but not quite yet)

So, I just finished the quest content (minus the last bit which I might  not add until I work on the last chapter, since this introduces it and that will be the "no turning back" point before the end). I am uploading the test version for my testers as I write this.

Some parts of the quest were more taxing than expected (the fork proved to be some extra work to make it different enoug...

Weekly dev blog: A Fistful of Puzzles

Did I use this title before? Oh well, it doesn't matter. I have been working on a few puzzles (they should be all that is needed in the "normal" path), I have almost finished with the map for the location (I need a few more details in one of the floors and then it's just NPC placement that is left to do).

I have prepared a couple of combat encounters for this, and now I am trying to see i...

Weekly dev blog: A Sleepy Village... Or Is It?

I am still toiling away at the main quest. I am pretty happy with the map for the new town (where this part of the quest will take place). It's small, but it plays well with the mechanic I have in mind (it needed a bit of a maze-like structure to work, and I feel like I achieved it without making it disorienting). There is also some more traditional gameplay past the first section, with some "p...

Question Time: Clash of the Waifus...

...Who will come out on top? Wait, that sounds lewd now, for some reason. XD

Anyway, the idea is simple, and similar to last month's poll. Just pick your favorite girl, and I'll make sure she gets some art to improve her seduction success rate by at least 20%.*

So, vote now, get that jolt of adrenaline when your girl inevitably doesn't get voted in, and then pledge even more money t...

Question Time #2: It's Waifus All The Way Down

Make sure you renew your loyalty to the One True Waifu™, by voting for her here as well!

Get into heated conflicts with other human beings over 2D beauties, and make sure to resort to violence if money still can't fix the problem!

Well, actually, please don't. Just vote, that will be plenty.

Art Attack: An Erica For All The Occasions (NSFW)

Another month, another art preview! As I mentioned before, I'll get to addressing the results of the previous poll this month (although some of this could probably be counted as fitting the criteria).

As usual, my artists are Redjet and Stanx...

Weekly dev blog: Setting The Stage

So, as I mentioned, I wrote a new scene with Alec, wrote the usual transition for the new chapter, and advanced uncle's search. We get a scene with professor Kendar, that gives you some solid lead on where to go. This last scene also includes a bit about a plot twist revolving around the emperor as you get some surprising news during it.

I am actually debating if I should keep this part o...

Weekly dev blog: Next chapter

So, after dealing with some bugs (as you might have noticed, I did release one small update), I am back on track, working on the main quest. Specifically, I am adding the beginning of chapter 5 (and the end of chapter 4). I am trying to find the best way to introduce all the elements I'd like. There should be a lot going on, but as far as the main quest goes, the points I want to touch in the 5...

Hotfix #1: It Just Works!

So, a smaller, bugfixing update, as usual. I don't think there were any game-breaking issues up until now, but keep your eyes open.

September release! Mooning(?) the Werewolves

So, it's finally that time of the month! If I waited a bit more, I could have released to a full moon (in Italy), but we'll have to do without the added atmosphere.

Weekly dev blog: New Release Coming Soon*

*We remind our customers that time's perception is subjective and we decline any responsibility for disappointing them, or shattering their dreams.

I added 2 scenes for Eliza, another new scene for the werewolf path, and one for Dominique. I also sent the game to the testers, so I got busy with ironing out issues (I think the new content shouldn't have any glaring issues ...

Weekly dev blog: Light at last!

We had a blackout in the area, so I couldn't do much work much today (but I'll work tonight a bit to catch up). For this week, we got some more werewolf content, both sexy and not, as well as ways to start climbing the ranks. I was considering the possibility to add multiple ways to "dominate" each werewolf, but I feel like that would make things needlessly complicated. Since there are many wer...

Question Time: Pick Your Waifu (and we'll draw her like our french girls)

I think it's time to prepare for another round of art selected by you guys. There are many choices, but I'll try to keep this down to 5. I think I'll try to get something for the top 3, so hopefully most people will get something they want voted in. ^_^

I think there are scenes that could benefit from more transitions, and of course there are plenty of scenes without any visuals to accomp...

Weekly dev blog: The Boy Who Cried Wolf

You can't see them yet, but they are there in my PC, I swear! XD

Anyway, I kept working on the werewolf stuff. There are 4 new scenes, and some more structure to the content there. I got slightly delayed by some health issues I am currently investigating (nothing serious, but I might have to waste some time this week as well for tests, visits and whatnot), so sadly I didn't get to do as m...

Weekly dev blog: Dances With (were)Wolves

So, as mentioned before, I worked on werewolves this week. I tweaked the old intro a bit, added a new scene to introduce you to the "pack" and their place, added some lore about the werewolves, some dialogues for the 6 members of the group, prepared the maps and so on. I also went ahead and added a regenerative buff if you are a werewolf during fights. 

While I think on the mechanics...

Weekly dev blog: Did you miss me?

Well, it's not like I disappeared, so probably not. As you probably know, I kept busy with bugfixing as usual, but for the rest, I just took some time off, and I am surely refreshed as a result! Today, I did some minor work (fixing typos, or adding some alternative text for consistency, and so on) plus I started working on the werewolf path. I rewrote part of the original dialogue and worked on...

Hotfix: Ever so slightly better than before!

I released a fix for one of the new quests (it would be available only in chapter 3, otherwise). I couldn't confirm any other bugs at the moment, but I figured this should be addressed now, rather than later.

Other than wanting to suck your blood, I mean. :^

Well, in this specific case, we have a little, seemingly unrelated whiskey shipment, to bring them into a behind-the-scene conflict. Such a secret conflict, they don't even know they are against each other! XD

We'll get to finally explore the military outpost to the north (I am not sure if I'll ever use all the buildings, even if I a...

Question Time #2: Back to the future or Forward to the past(?)

Look, I ran out of good titles for a while now, okay? Just follow your heart, vote, and then yell at me* in the comments, for some much needed catharsis.

Question Time: Looking Back, or Moving Forward?

This is the question I always consider when I get up from bed! Er... Not really. BUT! It's the question we'll be considering together today, instead. Do you think I should work on more new content, or is there something currently unfinished you'd like to see spruced up or completed? Pick among the 3 options, and if you have some unfinished stuff that you hold dear to your heart, please, PLEASE ...

Weekly dev blog: Past and Future Quests

So, this week I expanded a bit the sap gathering, quest (the one with the Dryad), by adding some gameplay to the "Erica becomes a dryad" path. I am debating if I should add a larger event after that, or if I should just close it out with a smaller event and an outro for the path. I also wrote a scene for successfully completing your first task as a nymph, so that should be fun regardless. The g...
