Progress on the development of Malevolent Planet - 26th August 2020
Added 2020-08-26 18:07:03 +0000 UTC
This is most likely the last development update before I release v0.1.1.
Since I posted the last update, almost a week ago, I've been working daily to finish everything and get more in before the release time frame. In consequence, this is what I have to say:
- We have a lot of new dialogues, including a repeatable morning dialogue with Morris and one with Ted.
- We have a finished corrupted plant scene NSFW drawing that I'm pretty happy with and you'll see it in your scenes with the Corrupted Plant, depending on the outcome of the combat.
- In addition to that, there is also a drawing that is more than halfway done in the Eco Scrap Quest and it's shaping up to look pretty good in its end result.
- Integrated many of the aforementioned dialogues, tested them to make sure they're working properly.
- Integrated two quests, one of which was the lengthier one (Eco Scrap) because of its special circumstance. They are tested and working as they should as well, with that opportunity I proofread pretty much the entire quest and where applicable I improved a lot upon the existing writing. I needed to rewrite an entire NSFW scene for this quest because I didn't like the original version too much.
- Therefore, the first screenshot contains a few of my main checklists that I've been going through to make sure most of the bugs are taken care of and the experience is as smooth as it can be with the current systems.
- The second screenshot shows a delay on the expressions because those are not easy to draw and I've compensated by including two drawings instead of one.
- Which brings me to the last bulletpoint. This version is on track to hit the estimated release date and it will bring way more to the game than the initial release from a month ago, which I've decided not to make public sadly because I couldn't find a backup from that time which could let me integrate the new quest tracking features. Since I am more confident with this release, it will definitely get a public version in two weeks since I also need to update the threads on f95zone and the others because most of the attention comes to the game when a new update happens. The drawings will be $5+ exclusive though, because it's the best paywall I can think of right now.
The main goal of this game is to have a drawing of every scene in the game, as this Patreon was born with rule34 art in mind. With more support, I can fulfill this goal and many others to bring the game closer to what I dream it to be. It's getting there, step by step, as I'm always finding ways to improve on erotic scene writing, character development, gameplay, story and many other integral aspects of an interactive fiction game.
