Progress Report #53: February 2023

Hi everyone o/

Welcome to our first progress issue for the month of February! As you're most probably aware, we're running the "Slime Chronicles" series this month focusing on the events and elements that'll transpire in the upcoming patch. Following up on those, will be the Progress Reports that will serve to round up not only the entire presentation but also facets that were not showcased in the series. Lets dive right in!

You have already met Sumura, the charismatic and buxom beauty who leads the slimes. While we showcased most of her "assets", some minute details, at the time, were still on the drawing board, including the first full H event. Glad to report, both of these pending issues have now been tackled and await quality evaluation! Not only that, but a variety of new cut-ins- ero attacks that trigger during battles, are in the works as well, with the first few installments clearing the artist's table and now in the hands of our coder who will soon start play-testing their viability!

While the artist busied himself bringing the new story to life, the writer's guild pushed on in a different direction with a few plans of their own. The slime saga no doubt remains the center of their attention with new changes, tweaks and event additions being deployed on a daily basis, but this week they changed gears starting work on a new quest, tagged the "AI". Robotically cryptic? At least we, without much else to go on, feel so. One thing is for certain: It's too early in its infancy to make it to the next patch. Either way, let's hope Caly fairs better than she did at the tentacles of Tripteen bots!  

Quest Log development continues to be a fun challenge for our coder! Unfortunately, RPG Maker MV tends to be an odd entity that loves to take the fun out of any challenge by simply being stubbornly unpredictable. Still, we're assured that code is coming together nicely and we might just be able to iron out the wrinkles faster than expected! Considering we have new audio SFX samples coming in that will require his undivided attention, we wish our binary boy good wishes and grand luck for smooth sailing! Oh? What SFX samples you wonder? 

Well, tune in next week's "Meet The Characters" for more on that! Till then however, we bid you fond adieu and will see you in the next one!

Kind Regards,

Cursed-Atelier Team
