Climbing to the top! (Patreon Changes)
Added 2016-11-18 06:30:38 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
Another day down. Went a bit slower this past week/weekend, as the weather was surprisingly wonderful. Ended up doing little to no work on the weekend and spending time with the family. Got things rolling again Monday, and kept moving along.
In Patreon news, I finally heard back from the Man in Black. He ended up getting swamped at his job and has had little to no time to finalize the tags. I ended up making the changes to the rest of the Patreon, and hopefully, he can get the featured tags going next week. In and effort to be as transparent as possible, here is what has changed:
Patreon Milestones:
$750 per update: Noted that I will be running a poll each month near the middle. In fact, you can expect this months poll in the next few days.
$1,500 and $2,500: Just added a bit more details, nothing major. I will note when things like the Lynne poll or Outfit polls are completed so new patrons know if they can expect this or not.
$4,000 per update: Changed the full time milestone to $5,000 per update and listed the plan for going full time. I expect to shift to full time in January 2017. Like the part-time switch, this will literally more than double the time I work on the game.
$6,000 per update: Removed the lore/history/content post milestone. I will start posting things like this again, but instead of listing a number per month, I'll just be making a "Midweek Madness" post every non-poll week. These will be teasers, lore posts, game discussions, etc. For example, the night event post last week (Thanks for some awesome suggestions!)
$7,500 per update: Added just a few details to the outfit milestone. The final content poll to select the winner will be coming soon.
$10,000 per update: Got rid of the mini-game milestone and replaced it with an effort to form a team. I don't want to release chapters once every two years, and I know you don't want that. So, forming a team will be a worthwhile endeavor at some point. I will note, this is something that will ultimately happen when development is moving consistently (I expect that to be the case when I go full time).
$15,000 per update: Added a new milestone for another team member. This would initiate me trying to get animation into the game. I'm already toying with minor animation, and have layered my drawings in a way that will hopefully facilitate animation. With $15,000 per update, I believe I'd be able to pay an animator to work on the game part-time and add animation to major h-scenes. Then, in future titles, I'd like to do preliminary planning with an animator to really integrate animation into things like battles.
Those are the changes that were made. I still plan on working on Bogwort's Misadventures as my next side project, I just decided it was not really a good milestone. Instead, I felt milestones should aim to improve quality or improve development speed, so that is what I'm trying to set up. Feel free to comment of message me if you have questions/concerns.
Finally, to the $50 supporters, I've added potential alpha team access. I messaged you about it earlier, and plan to set things up going forward to facilitate alpha access at major points. It would help me by providing a bit more feedback, and perhaps a bit more confidence that the game is moving in the right direction. I also plan to evaluate after Chapter 1 whether I can open a few more $50 slots. I want to ensure I can accomodate each patron in a satisfactory manner without drastically changing the game I have planned. Sometimes, if you solicit opinions the game itself can lose its focus, I don't want that to happen.
Well, that's what I got. As I said, I'll be posting the November poll this weekend. It should be a good one, so stay tuned!

2016-12-03 06:02:22 +0000 UTCDay 48 of Yummy Turtle watch. The people in the village have been ensuring that the Blue Ballz doesn't return to the town. To the point that everyone couldn't get enough sleep last night. this was due to causing the large amount of noise or not being able to sleep due to the noise. The Town Guard stepped in to stop late in the night nearly scaring people to death with his loud screaming as he "caught" Bogwort peeping. Little did people know that Bogwort wasn't able to do any peeping due to being detained due to stealing. Not much of a surprise. The election has been postponed for a few months until charges can be dealt with.

2016-11-29 05:41:21 +0000 UTCDay 47 of Yummy Tiger watch. Yummy tiger has asked the people of the village who they wanted most. There has been so many strange suggestions. All with the same level of enthusiasm as what they like to do at night if not more. Bogwort may or may not have made some suggestions as well. With everyone now cured of Blue Ballz the cause of the epidemic has been released as "lack of stimulation" as the scholar are saying. The plans for opening the mine are being postponed indefinitely or until a new mayor is in office. Along with hiring people to remove the bandits from the area.

2016-11-28 06:12:53 +0000 UTCDay 46 of Yummy Turtle watch. The mines were in the process of being restored until the mayor decided we want an new wing in his basement. Unfortunately for the Mayor and Bogwort women are still discussing who need to help those two. The debate also includes if Bogwort and the mayor should be saved. There are a few women for letting them live abut fewer who would be willing to help either one out. The bandits have seemed to have found their own cure. The Bandits have restarted doing what they do best.

2016-11-27 05:53:56 +0000 UTCDay 45 of Yummy Turtle watch. The turkey uprising was quickly brought to an end when it started to rain and all the turkeys drowned. Bogwort despite his weaken Blue Ballz state, made the birds in to a delicious meal. He was unable to get rabit due to his weaken state. The scholars have come out with their cure for the disease. No believes them but the brought up their "research." The village quickly went to curing the Blue Ballz. as due to the many days that has occurred it may that some time to fully recover and will require constant treatment. Most of the men we cared for quickly. A few left to having women draw straws for was Dirk, the mayor, and Bogwort. But now with this behind us we now look toward the reopening of the mine but with little being done as the blacksmith left town.

2016-11-26 06:41:21 +0000 UTCDay 44 of Yummy Turtle watch. No broadcast today due to an uprising of turkeys and the villagers have their hands full in their weaken blue ball state.

2016-11-25 05:35:24 +0000 UTCDay 43 of Yummy Turtle watch. The writer of Yummy Turtle watch has gone missing again as the Man in Black has started his search for him with a great vigor than before as though his going for his head. The case of Blue Ballz has claimed its first victim or one seeming to over dramatize their illness as Bogwort has buried himself under a layer of dirt with only his nose and balls being left out. The scholars have found a cure and are looking for a means of giving to all the people who are affected.

2016-11-24 07:17:54 +0000 UTCSorry about not getting the November poll up yet. Been a bit hectic with Thanksgiving coming up, and I'd really like to include the final outfit options in this poll. If I can't get those sketches done by Friday, I'll just post the poll and put the outfit question in December. It's taken me a bit of time to get the designs for the five outfit options in place. Also, I like them all, so more than one might make it in this game or future games, but the winner will be included (possibly as soon as chapter 2). Thanks!

2016-11-23 23:50:06 +0000 UTCDay 42 of Yummy Turtle watch. The case of Blue Ballz has only gotten worst. Thankfully the bandits have fallen victim to the epidemic. So all the supplies for mead have come into town. Yummy Tiger was seen late last night talking to the Man in Black. The Man in Black seem unaffected by Blue Ballz. Yummy also seemed unaffected but this is expected due to limited contact he has had with the village. The scholars think they have found a link to the cure but they still trying to work out all the rough patches. They seem to be in the most pain as we can hear them screaming throughout the village.

2016-11-22 22:53:17 +0000 UTCBogwort will get his share of loving. It will depend heavily on your choices though.
YummyTiger Gaming
2016-11-22 07:35:10 +0000 UTCYes, for the H-scene suggestions, you have to pledge successfully twice. In some ways, I consider it like a commission, and for a full CG scene and variations, $100 bucks is on par with most artists. Essentially, after the first successful pledge, I'll start a dialogue with you about your idea. Then, I'll figure out how to fit it into the game and when it'll take place. There was a pledge in April, so the 5 $50 pledgers should have 1 pledge done. I've started dialogue with a few of them, but plan to get that rolling in December. After Chapter 1 is released and I've gotten the 5 current pledge's ideas lined up, I'll determine if more slots can be opened. Hope that helps, if you have any other questions, please let me know!

2016-11-22 07:29:02 +0000 UTCIt's pretty funny, you've been spot on in regards to a few things. Triste and the munchkin battles, the mayor election. I'm beginning to wonder if you've gotten access to my files somehow! :-P

2016-11-22 07:28:51 +0000 UTCDay 41 of Yummy Turtle Watch. This just in the village men have been complaining of pain in balls and those balls turning blue. The epidemic is affecting everyone including the mayor candidates. The women seem unaffected by the sickness. The scholars are looking into a cure. No one knows how long we will have to hold out till a cure is found. But the scholars have adopted what Bogwort is calling it Blue Ballz. If something is done so we don't know who long we can last. The only men unaffected is the priest, Yummy Tiger, a a few farmers. Dirk has been affected and the slimes for now suppressed but we don't know for how long. The munchkins are being held off by Triste for now. We hope to be able to broadcast tomorrow with any luck.

2016-11-21 19:14:00 +0000 UTCDay 40 of Yummy Tiger Watch. It's been a slow news day. The villagers have been rally around saying which mayor would be not the worst, Bogwort or Willem. The arguing points is that Bogwort will be massively perverted in office. Willem is will completely unmotivated for anything except personal wealth. Bogwort is the same way. Bogwort platform is that he know the common man's problems. We would conduct an interview but we are worried of what Bogwort would do on camera. The current mayor "politely" refused then "politely" shoved us out of his way.
Nine Horse Hitch
2016-11-21 05:35:08 +0000 UTCDay 39 of Yummy Tiger Watch, The betting has started to see if who will win the election. if it will be the current mayor, what's his name? *from off camera* Willem Von Drendon the First ok, Mayor long winded name or Bogwort. The mayor has no support because he is useless or bogwort who has the support of Dirk who may not be sober enough to vote. This is going to be a strange race for the mayor of the town. If only there was a third party who come help us come to solution to our problems. The man in black was seen today stopping Yummy Tiger and draging him kicking and scream saying that he needs freedom and video games. One glare of the Man in Black made him hold his tongue. The village seem to approve Of the Man in Black. But no wants him for mayor. Everyone still afraid of him. For reason of make stuff disappear.

2016-11-19 15:31:16 +0000 UTCNEVER TRUST A TURTLE!?! Those slow ass bastards will backstab you every time. Just look at that smile...

2016-11-19 09:10:48 +0000 UTCThanks! I'm glad it is showing. I'm quite hopeful that chapter 1 will blow people away, but you never know. Porn is a fickle business where everyone has strong opinions. We'll see, just need to get it to where I want it and release it.
YummyTiger Gaming
2016-11-19 09:09:17 +0000 UTCAbsolutely. I copied a bunch of them into my idea document. I peruse it often when I'm brainstorming. I've no doubt a number of those ideas will end up in the game (or future games).
YummyTiger Gaming
2016-11-19 09:07:06 +0000 UTCDay 38 Of Yummy Turtle watch. I regret all that mead i drank the night before as now my head hurts more than Bogwort's after a "talk" with any woman in the village. Due to everyone sleep deprivation and how much mead we drank no notice that the turtle seem to have stretched. The some villagers are worried about the turtle while other still don't trust the turtle. Yummytiger was seen last night talk about these goals he want to meet. But he quickly passed out or fell asleep before he could say much everyone in the village is confused with what he had to say. Here's to only four more steps and the hair of the dog.
Nine Horse Hitch
2016-11-19 06:48:29 +0000 UTCYeah, I'd jump in on that in a heartbeat. I have a strict 1$ for one hours of entertainment on Video Games. But for what this is turning out to be, the entertainment value will be much higher then that and I would love to donate towards it.

2016-11-19 01:27:22 +0000 UTCYou may want to increase the amount of people who can pledge $50.
Nine Horse Hitch
2016-11-19 00:43:10 +0000 UTCWho is this Man in Black and how does he do this?! I really appreciate the direction things have been going since he got involved. You have been doing an amazing job at bringing back some transparency to the development of your game and next year is looking very promising. I believe the support will go through the roof once Chapter 1 gets released, and I do hope I won't be missing out on the $50 Horny Goblin tier if you happen to add some of these. Also, weekends are meant to rest! Don't you go and burn out on us :p

2016-11-18 19:28:12 +0000 UTCwell Scalegarden has shown us how wonderful animations can be done, and he's using RPGmaker XP. But one thing... make sure animations are compatible with resizing the window, it's a pain when they are not :/
waffel
2016-11-18 10:08:40 +0000 UTCYummy, I would love, more than anything, to see your game fully animated... But really man, I talk from experience, This is not a good idea. RPG maker is NOT animation friendly, it takes a lot of time, since you have to pay someone it can suck and it can mess up things pretty good. (And really, everytime you talk about adding some stuff, I think my vision goes a little black). I mean, it's your game, I don't want to tell you what you should do, but in my humble opinion, you could do a raffle(is that the word?) and the prize could be the 50$ pledge, that one really interest me... (But I don't have money, so...) Seriously, I love animations and would love seeing Aylia's boobs bouncing, but... It can go really bad.

2016-11-18 06:58:30 +0000 UTCDay 37 Of Yummy Turtle Watch came to an end and the turtle at the very end of the day with half the town asleep, including your truly. Only to be awoken by cheers of the people who awaited the turtles. This was even discussion of sacrificing livestock to revive the Yummy Turtle. The Man in Black was seen today his location during this time has been unknown. Just that as soon as Yummy Tiger woke up and started to celebrate he dragged back in to the house saying no celebration or games for you. But the village has erupted into a fury of cheering and drinking. Now i will go back to sleep. Wait mead but i need to sleep, oh well that tomorrow me problem. Fuck him.
