Hello fellow humans! First off, thanks so much for being here and supporting the project! It's super encouraging to have you along on this development adventure (though Kiera would insist you should stop supporting.. but if you give her the abdl trait I don't think she'll mind!)
Second off, I come to you bearing another report of progress! Updoot is approaching suuuuper fast. After a bit of a slower start to February, I managed to work on the game every day the past 2 weeks, and got lots done! :)
Also maybe it's silly to have JUST started doing this, but I finally started keeping a bit of a dev diary to remind myself what I've been working on every day. I usually forget some things I've been working on, and it takes literally 10 seconds to jot down what I'd been working on in a day, soooo yeah it's been pretty useful! SO here is a hopefully-somewhat-more-accurate summary of what I've been working on lately!
DESPERATION/ACCIDENTS/POTTY TRAINING: I did some work on walking, desperation, and accident sprites and scenes for when Kiera is in panties and overalls. I also put some time into setting up using the potty in diapers while partied up with Miss Laura, Cassidy, and Billie ('cause Kiera obvs needs some help with her diaps!). For the updoot, I'm hoping to have the potty system ready enough for Kiera to go from panties to diapers and back again (even if some of the scenes are a bit placeholder-y for now!)
MISS LAURA: I made some progress with Miss Laura's skills, making them work with multiple outfits and working on sprites and animations. I don't wanna share images of her because I'd rather keep those as a surprise. Excited to share more of her with you soon!
ABDL INTERACTIONS: Made a bit of progress with Kiera interacting with diapers and bottles in the potty room. Some fun sprites on the way for those (but again a surprise)! :)
NEW SKILL: Working on a new skill for Kiera's Big Girl trait, where she gets a quest to find a Little with a stinky bum and alert Blossom about it (thereby proving how big she is herself). Potential shenanigans if she has to go potty while pointing this out... (Dunno if this will be ready for the update as it's not a priority, but we'll see!)
BILLIE: Okay, one thing I spent maybe TOO much time on was Billie's tickle skill! There are now some fully completed scenes, animations, and training for the skill, designed for when Kiera has to pee.
HIDE AND SEEK: I'm wanting Kiera's successes and failures with playing hide and seek to have lasting effects.. ie, if she fails to find anybody, she might start to actually get worse at being seeker, and need help from a grown-up... Still needs work but I think it will be some silly fun when ready!
NAPTIME: I made some progress with the naptime system. Kiera will get put into SnugSleeps or Diapers depending on what she's already wearing, and/or her history of bedwetting. There are some variable scenes to naptime now! Messing scene/s still need work but will be working on that over the next weeks.
SNACKTIME: I've put together some sprites for Kiera sitting and the big kids' table in the kitchen and have finished a scene for her getting a snack from Miss Laura. Still gotta work on the high chair scenes, so more on that soon!
SAVE SYSTEM: Sooo many things to track with this! The save system should now track the current images for Kiera's face, undies, and outfit, as well as the text inside those respective menus.
LAYOUT/CSS: I made some minor adjustments to the game's CSS so that the text boxes in the game menus will contain text better (like the outfit and undies tabs).
That's it for now! I'll put up a poll in the next day or two so you can help me decide what the heckerino I should focus on finishing in time for the early access and April 1st updoots. And if you have anything you're interested to see get extra attention in the next few weeks feel free to let me know in the thingy where you write thingies below this thingy!
Thanks for reading and babble again soon! :)
