Monthly Progress Report & Plans for the Coming Month.

Hello Heroes!

I hope all is great and you're having a good September so far!

I just wanted to give a report on this months activities and a view of what's to come next month!

Last Month

It has once again been a very busy month! The Electra fight was released into the main game, and the Lilith fight has been uploaded to the Dojo for feedback from Tier 3 Patreons. Both of these are LARGE fights, with multiple animations, and hundreds of images (Electra has the most with 300+ images, whereas Lilith is around 240ish). These fights are obviously much bigger than previous ones....

(I remember when I had such simple goals as "5 moves and one animation per fight". The original 4 mini-bosses were SO much simpler :P. )

Hopefully the slightly longer development times have been worth the larger scale of the fight. I'm still making around a release per month, but it's getting slightly longer as the fights grow in complexity!

These fights have been fun to make, especially since each one has a support villain for the 2 v 1 feel, and also the fact that these were the first villains designed alongside the community via polls. So these fights feel like a shared accomplishment with you all, and I'd like to thank you for that!!

Ultimately, however, they are both side quests to the main story, which was left hanging a couple of months ago with our hero discovering he needed to reach the penthouse of the bank to face the leader of the Goths! Which is where we will be picking up next month...

Next Month

Which brings us nicely to plans for this month. Obviously first and foremost is bringing the Lilith fight into the main game, however once this is completed I will be carrying on wit the main story and the next big fight, which I know some of you have been looking forward to (I'm looking at you Turble :) )

Yes, the next villain our hero will come up against it CJ (Or Celestia Jade) to complete the challenge and stop Paris taking over Maria's gym. However now you know that you need to "acquire" the penthouse key from Paris, the fight has a whole new sense of urgency!

Will the hero be able to defeat the scarlet strongwoman? Surely Paris will use every dirty trick in her repertoire to ensure he cannot! Though never count out Maria when it comes to deviousness ;).

This update will have much more story than the last two, so expect more scenes, some branching choices, and new ways for our Hero to be embarrassed in the ring! It will also lead directly into the area boss fight for the Downtown area!

Final note...The dungeon

As a final note, I just wanted to assure everyone that I have not forgotten about the dungeon. I just need to get the mechanisms for it right, and it has made more sense to focus on this once more of the Goth content was out. I will be working on the scenes from the polls soon, and will put more polls out once these are underway! There is just A LOT to do at the moment, so I want to make sure it all right :).

Thank you as always heroes! Please let me know what you think about any of the above in the comments or over on discord!
