🍨🎮 Yumykon Games Devlog #004

Hi everyone! 💕

I’d like to start the devlog with a few announcements.

Tomorrow, I’m going to travel to a somewhat distant place to celebrate my birthday with some friends, so I'll be away from the internet until the 27th, as it will be a one-week trip.

On the 19th, the art for the poll we voted on this week will be released, but there won't be a poll on the 21st, and there also won’t be any art on the 26th, nor a devlog.

This week, I managed to finish all my work queue, raffle art, and any additional work, so I can travel with peace of mind. When I return, I’ll only need to get back into my gamedev rhythm and post updates for you all ~

Let’s start this week's little devlog, which didn’t have much progress, but I did what I could. 👉🏻👈🏻

I worked a lot on the Tamagochi game this week. I want to finish it to see the results I'll get from its release. It’s important for me to assess the viability of this eroge studio or if I should just focus on Yumyverse, which is already a guaranteed and fully funded project by you.

I thought of a stupid name to the game, but for this type of game, I think it works well. The idea is to be really stupid and funny. The name is Tamagoth! your needy and horny virtual goth girlfriend.

Whatever, so, I sketched out some of the rooms:

The Closet

The Kitchen

The Bathroom

The Living Room

And there is the Bedroom, that you had already seen the draft

I'm still missing the market sketch, but I'll share with you the planning I did for each of the rooms you can visit with the character:

Basically, there are 3 main areas where we can go with her.

The bedroom, where you can do the following things:

• Put her to sleep, this increases her sleep status.

• Have sex with her, which fulfills her sexual needs.

• Ask her to masturbate, which also fulfills her sexual needs, but when she masturbates, her sexual needs decrease faster.

The living room, where you can do the following things:

• Make her play video games, which improves her fun status.

• Make her post photos on OnlyFans, which earns you money. (But there’s a secret interaction behind this.)

• You go to work, the screen goes black, and you’re away from your girlfriend. The game stays like this until you press to return home. When you come back, your girlfriend will be irritated, and all her stats will be low.

Closet

• You can change her clothes (I have some news about this to share).

Kitchen

• Eat, which improves her hunger needs.

• Drink, some drinks improve certain needs like thirst, happiness, or sleep.

• Milky, she gives you a blowjob until she gets some nutritious milk (gross, but I found it funny).

Bathroom

• Use the toilet, which only improves her pee status.

• Take a bath, which improves hygiene, and you can see her naked. Hehehe.

• Masturbate, which also fulfills her sexual needs, but when she masturbates, her sexual needs decrease faster.

Market

• You can buy food and drinks.

• You can also buy clothes for her.

When we're not too close to the wall, we can see how big the wall is. 👀

This game might have some complicated systems that will be a lot of work, but I don’t feel like giving them up. Hahaha.

I had an idea for us to have some dynamics here on Patreon. Later in the development, I’ll start creating some ways for you to decide outfits for the character. I still need to think more deeply about how to do this, but basically, you will choose special outfits for the character, like references to other games like Zelda, or any other things like that! What do you think?

Well, besides that, I did some compatibility tests with mobile devices. Since I always programmed for computer inputs when I made games in college, I need to study mobile inputs to understand how they work. I’m also studying how progress storage works on mobile. I’m still in the process, but I’m concerned about saving progress if the game is an HTML5 game. I’m not sure how progress is saved, but I’m researching it.

Ah, Tamagoth is made in Construct 3. If anyone has any knowledge of how it works and wants to give me a tip, I’d appreciate it!

Now, onto Yumyverse.

The main news is that on the day I made the previous devlog, I had a little argument with our dear Jake, and he basically convinced me of what name to choose for the game.

The game now is called: Yumyverse! I will not be fooled by a Hacker!

But in the logo design, both the Japanese and English names will be included, to keep the branding with the anime vibe that I’d like.

I can also say that this weekend, I’ll receive some money that will help me hire freelancers to assist with this logo.

I had seen a freelancer who makes VTuber logos, but in my view, their style has a strong anime logo vibe. However, in their TOS, it says that they don’t allow their logo to be linked to VTubers related to adult content in any way. So, I figured they’d hate me too 😭

So I still need to search a lil more.

Anyway!

I started making some promotional art for the game:

Some pixels are weird because I was doing it in one resolution, until I realized that the resolution was not ideal, so I had to resize, which causes these weird pixels lines.

It's still a work in progress 👉🏻👈🏻

And that’s basically all I did for the game this week. I didn’t make much progress in programming or story writing, as I was very busy preparing for the trip. 😥

Thank you for reading, and I hope you have a great week!!
See you all again on the 27th!!

With love, Yumykon. 💕
