Update - 1 August 2016

tl;dr - I worked a lot on the Masami sex scene this week, as well as the collector card system, that poster I showed you, and some other junk.

This week's image

I made this one just this afternoon and I have to say I'm pretty pleased with it. I've never really been able to get those 'saliva tendrils' to work in a picture before and I still don't think they're perfect, but they're good enough to actually have the desired effect for once.

I find this picture particularly nice when contrasted to the nice, neat, urbane picture of Masami at the beginning of the scene - you might have to see that one in the actual game, though.

Do let me know what you think!

Masami sex scene

I've been working on the Masami sex scene this week. After programming in the sound last week, this week's goal was mainly a matter of inserting the text into the game, testing it and making new pictures. Easier said than done, really - a lot of the progress of the week was consumed in correcting bugs that I found on the way to the Masami sex scene before I even got there, or creating a couple of images that I felt the game needed.

Anyway, I'm into testing the scene now, although I do want to create a few more images before I'm ready to call it done. I'd like two more 'clothed' images (for stage 1) and at least two more 'naked' pictures (in stage 2) before I'd be thinking there might be enough, even though I do have a lot of the key pictures sorted out already. Also I need to actually test the thing. That's important. A lot of the voice acting for Masami that I had programmed in last week I discovered was bugged this week and I had to fix it.

Collector cards

I mentioned last week that I had started to work on the collector card system. I continued and finished the programming for that, more or less, although there are still some cards I haven't made yet. In the next alpha you should be able to review the cards you have earned, assuming that I've actually made a card for it.

One issue was that I discovered that one of the puzzles in the game wasn't set up to award a card, so I realised I had counted wrong and I had 21 card opportunities rather than the 20 I planned. I solved this by removing the threesome scenes as card awards (there's enough incentive to find them anyway, right?) and created two new objectives as 'puzzles', based on collecting points that were already available to collect in the game. I think this will work.

Poster work and other stuff

You've already seen the poster for the game I was working on. As I explained in the previous post it's not really work on the game as such, but I hate to admit that it's kind of important just because it's the first impression that a lot of people will get of the game. And you know, I did some other little stuff. I set up a little bit of programming for the threesome scene and I think some other stuff I can't remember right now. :)

Next alpha is when?

I'm not totally sure, but I'll put it out when I finish the Masami sex scene, so that should be soon. I want to make some more pictures and test it. Then it should be ready!

Opinions? I'd love to hear them! Please leave a comment!
