Highres Teaser #2 and Status Update

Hello everyone,

It's been another month, and at a minimum, I want to give you guys something every month. So, here is another high resolution teaser of the updated artwork. Welcome to the new, and hopefully improved, potato sack outfit. 

Couple things to note. I did away with the texture, as I thought it looked a little jarring. I like it quite a bit more without. I also updated the shading to match the style I'm using now and made her breasts much more in-line with her other portraits. Aylia is supposed to be around a D cup, and these may look a bit bigger than that, but they're pushed up from her posture. I've also done away with a lot of the blurring of colors in her facial features.

As for a status update, I'm now 2 months into full time. As I mentioned in late January, I had my second child. That did not stop me from working, but it did slow the transition to a full 40-50 hour work week, as my wife is on maternity leave and the kids were home quite a bit. This is the first time I've ever tried working from home, and let me tell you, it takes some adjustments--especially if your family is home. So, it kind of progressed from 4-5 hour days to 5-6, then 6-7, etc. until I found a work schedule that worked. I've settled in at this point though and have been getting solid 40+ hour work weeks for the last few weeks.

In terms of the game itself, things are coming along nicely. For those worried about my perfectionist tendencies, I have not revamped any artwork during this entire full time stint. Everything I'm showing you has been done for awhile. The progress for the game has been going forward, not backwards, as was the case last spring/summer when I kind of scratched a lot of the artwork. I don't plan on doing that again. I do believe the facesets, system artwork, icons, and sprites are done now. They took me a surprising amount of time, and are not something that should be required for every chapter. In areas outside of Zalran, you'll find a lot more minor NPCs without faces. The thing about Zalran residents is you'll see these people through the entire game, I wanted them to have a bit more character.

This weekend, I'll finally be sending the first chunk to Pseudo for editing. I'm at a point where I believe I'll be sending him a chunk every week until he's gone through the entire thing. There's a lot of dialogue to work through, so I kind of pity him, but he deserves a big thanks for doing it. The one bad thing is that it probably ruins it a bit to edit the game and not just get to sit back and enjoy it. For me though, that means that as each chunk goes out and gets edited, it's fucking done. I'll check that portion off and move on.

As always, I appreciate your patience. I'm trying to comment and reply to messages, but I have been doing so more sparingly than in the past. My limited posts, limited comments, etc. is a temporary situation until I get chapter 1 done. So, please don't be offended if it takes me a day or two to reply.

Thank you!

Highres Teaser #2 and Status Update

Holy shit! You want me to release Bogwort... you crazy bastard, you.

YummyTiger Gaming

Responded.

YummyTiger Gaming

I was hoping for another teaser. Or Bogwort being released from the cone of silence.

Nine Horse Hitch

I don't want to come of as annoying, or anything like that, but i was wondering if you have read the PM i send you over patreon :p

While the texture of the old sack is more preferable, I have to say the fit of this new one is better. In my experience, burlap isn't the most form fitting of fabrics so it seemed strange to fit as snug as the first one did. The new underwear has a bit of an aggressive snug to it, with how uptight she starts out I definitely think plain white was the way to go.

Gregory Taylor

From what other game developers have been saying it takes a lot of work to do a demo. They also say YT should focus on the Chapter 1 release.

Nine Horse Hitch

If these "chunks" are chronological any chance of an updated prologue? Maybe with day one too?

Tbh, a part of me likes your older style (colours/texture etc) but another part of me says "OMFG DEM BOOBIES, DAT ASS, DAT CAMELTOE"

Azra El Crackhead

Thanks! I'm super pleased with my improvement. Part of it was just settling on a style and doubling down on getting good at the style. I enjoy drawing quite a bit!

YummyTiger Gaming

According to what I could find, it would be May, 18, 2019? Then I truly, truly hope so.

YummyTiger Gaming

Thanks! And, I'm loving working on it full time. I will definitely breathe a sigh of relief when this is done. Chapter 1 has been a monkey on my back for two years, and I made it way more trouble than I needed to. I've seen people post that I'm too laid back or don't care about missed release dates, believe me, that's not true. I'm eagerly awaiting the first night I get to sleep when it is released, it will be awesome.

YummyTiger Gaming

I've had a number of people comment on her not being as skinny. I respect that. This is how I envisioned Aylia, but I did not envision her as thick or porn-starish. All I can say is releasing the side-by-side out of context from the game can be misleading I think. Also, remember that her breasts are pushed up by her arms. Basically, it is like she's wearing a pushup bra, so her tits are not as huge as they might appear (they're still good sized though). For the slimmer, smaller breast crowd, you'll have Triste to play with, and believe me, she'll be worth it. I actually like her design better, even though I'm a tit-guy.

YummyTiger Gaming

I added a texture, not quite as harsh, but it might recapture some of the old sack texture.

YummyTiger Gaming

You mean the iris' or the overall eyes. I got flak for making them too small before. But, in looking at it, the irises are a bit large.

YummyTiger Gaming

Not nameing nameing but someone *cough* Pseudolurker *cough* is working on grammar errors and the like in a portion of the game. Some we are all waiting on the one person.

Nine Horse Hitch

Been a while since i checked are we approaching the release?

Cory Carson

Btw, while I certainly see huge improvements in your drawing technique, I can't help but still find the left pic sexier, but thats just my personal preferrence. I'm more into slim girls , and I also find her face a bit "heavier" than in the previous version. Again, I'm not saying your work was all for naught, just stating an opinion ;)

I love the cameltoe, but I miss the harsh texture.

The body is perfect but the eyes are perhaps too big.

Rebis

Whoa! Technology! It's amazing how a person can improve so drastically with practice and experience.

Boyzilla

I wonder if by the next blue moon chapter 3 will be released?

Nine Horse Hitch

She's looking good YT. I hope you're liking working on this full time, hopefully you can push Chapter 1 out the door and breathe a sigh of relief. I know it's been looming over you for so long.

InsaneBrain

Thanks for the critique! I appreciate it. Her hair here is one of the earlier versions I drew, and I thought it was still workable. It seems like hair can be a real timesink, so I try to avoid redrawing that all the time. The last teaser is a better example of how my hair is turning out now, which I'm kind of proud of. Also, in a reply a few up, I added a texture back in. It's less jarring, but I think it is perhaps a better option. The sack is supposed to be coarse, so this smoother version was never a perfect solution. And, don't worry, we'll get her in sexy panties at some point! ;-)

YummyTiger Gaming

I've had a few people say this. I think she might have ended up looking more curvier than intended, but I also think it is a product of being side-by-side with the super slender original. I wanted her to have more curves than that, we'll see. I don't plan on her being a porn star body type.

YummyTiger Gaming

Ha, you almost made me want to go draw that. Then, I realized the masses outside my door with pitchforks forbid to redraw anything. I hope they ignored the few minutes I spent on textures below...

YummyTiger Gaming

The polished version will be better, I promise.

YummyTiger Gaming

Thanks!

YummyTiger Gaming

Me too, the elven variety is especially pleasing.

YummyTiger Gaming

Thanks, and I don't neglect the family.

YummyTiger Gaming

No, nothing wrong with that. :-)

YummyTiger Gaming

You seem to be in the minority, although I think my bigger hangup was the old texture. I've dabbled with a few textures after the comments, and think it may work. Still, I think the old texture was too jarring.

YummyTiger Gaming

Thanks, I won't implode. I promise.

YummyTiger Gaming

Thank you, I'm hyped to release the damn thing.

YummyTiger Gaming

You really want me to give you a release date? After all my mistakes and false promises? You glutton for punishment, you.

YummyTiger Gaming

Yea, a little. I will say, I think she looks thicker because she's side-by-side with the old one, which was far too straight.

YummyTiger Gaming

Yea, I can do that.

YummyTiger Gaming

They're gonna get you!

YummyTiger Gaming

Oh and last though thank's for putting something up instead of just a simple. Hi! what's up and things are like this, ect....

Let's see her hair is smoother not as bright but a bit cleaner. Her eyebrows are a bit higher and pulled ever so slightly back plus that little black line isn't so long. Her eyes are a cleaner and crisper. Goood job on making her eyes more attractive to look at; Serious good job. Her cheek are more blushed which technically make her look... aroused, I guess?? but her cheek line does look really nice. Her mouth and the shaking slightly below it help her face to give every thing a good solid look. Her shaking on the rest of her body is almost reversed in the sense that her foreground is brighter. The burlap sack is very well shaded. Texture wise I preferred the old sack because having worked on a ranch I know what that look feels like but nice overall job. Her panties I have to say look less class/sexy but more appropriate to the fluff of her background. All in all I'd say 7/10 job on the picture but I'm a bit of a critic.

I can feel the hype already.

Nine Horse Hitch

So YT, if your done with your end of chapter one, does that mean you're working on chapter 2 Part A?

Nine Horse Hitch

I agree with you somewhat, can't say I would mind it all in the slightest so long as the coarse fabric is mentioned in a dialogue or thought from Aylia. Something along the lines of: " Curse that lewd goblin, making me wear such a stupid outfit. Might as well wear nothing at all, at least then it wouldn't rub so roughly against my nipples. Only thing worse is its making them irritated, I can feel them getting stiff. It hurts but why am I getting excited. I swear the next time I see that horny goblin I am going to teach him a lesson." Could even change it up based on how lewd Aylia is. Just a few of my favorite things.

Karmaldia

Love the new artwork for Aylia but I guess I might be in the minority that I am not crazy about the potato sack. I thought the texturing on the potatoe sack was great to convey how rough and coarse a potato sack presumably would be. The new potato sack without texture actually looks more like a peice of comfy fabric. Again, just the opinion of one person. Other than that love the teaser and can't wait for the demo! Keep up the good work mate!

Wow, Aylia has gotten a LOT curvier. *whistle*. Once again, I'm really loving the improvement in drawing, especially the face. Although, I personally like the more slender proportions of the original artwork better, the quality is much better.

Maniac

While I can't speak for Yummy, I can speak for game developers in general. You can't just slap together a demo in a few hours. It can be a major delay, (for an AAA game, it could be months, which is why we don't see demos anymore), so I don't expect, or desire an updated prologue, as that would delay the final product.

Maniac

Almighty God, what I wouldn't give for her to push those breasts up just a little more out of embarrassment and accidentally slip us an nipple.

Karmaldia

Man this teasers are killing me :c makes me want to just play an upolished game instead of waiting

Furanky

I love it. You really evolved from the (still good) "DIY" artstyle you had at first. Especially love Aylia's face. In lot of H games the heroines look generic (or even the same with different hair), but I think I could pick Aylia between a group of blonde elves drawn in your style without a problem. Also those panties are less "fantasy and why do they look like that" and more hot :P

bigtotoro

Ooh! Ooh! Question! Question Yummy! Would you say that at least the content for the prologue/demo is done with the new artwork and face sets and everything? Would it at least be possible for us to get an updated prologue that shows all the hard work you've put into the new art?

ArdenW

Hey Pseudo! I'd love to know if you get raw text files to edit or just play the game? I edited a professor's manuscript, as well as several master's theses the last couple years and I'm curious about your methods :)

Amptitude

I like those potatoes.

Nine Horse Hitch

Glad to hear you finally got your groove on.) Make sure to spend time with your family, you only get one time, make sure you do it right.

xellos49698

You heard it here first, folks - soon, the delays and bottlenecks will be on that Sudoh Lu'Kear schmuck! Bring on the hate! :P On an artsy note, while I had few to no complaints about the previous art style, I concur that the new artwork was worth the revamp process. Them's some nice, rounded, curvy potatoes!

Looks really awesome Have my life reached a new low? I actually envy a potato sack =D Best wishes and keep up the good work

TheNetsrac

I agree, it looks better without the texture. And I like this new juicier version of her, not only the breasts but the whole body :) And with the thinner contour lines the drawing looks much better, imho.

stoperArt

Take care of yourself. Give the kids and the wife some TLC. after all, if you implode we'll NEVER see this game.

PaddyOFurniture

Thanks for the update! Still hyped up about this game :)

Nick A.

when's it going to be released...

Hoo boy. HOO BOY.

As i said she looks way better. I like what you've done: sexy curves, bigger(but not too big) boobs, the camel toe all add to the pleasant view. Even facial expression is an improvement, you can tell instantly shes very uncomfortable in this potato sack, i hope other emotions and states are done just as well(like arousal/lust ^^). Too bad it will be awhile before we will be able to play it though, im guessing 2 months.

Nice man, I hope everything goes well. Can you post an Screenshot from the game next time? A non-spoiler one, of course. It's not that I don't appreciate your artwork (It's really visible how much you improved), but, well... It's Aylia again. : P PS: Who is Pseudo? PSs: Bogwart! Post a new one from Bogwart! I want to see his new artwork!
