Progress Update (2019/10/02)
Added 2019-10-02 16:25:57 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
Time for a new progress update^^
Deathblight RPG:
As you can see, the first CG for Catheline's job is about to be finished.
The base is done, so only varriations are missing on that one.
We figured we'll give Catheline a virgin killer sweater to wear for her job, because why the heck not? It's a demon infested city full of horny people after all, so it wouldn't be suprising if they'll hand out skimpy clothes as "uniforms".
(Also it does look very nice on her)
Deathblight Guilty Raid:
Unfortunately there isn't really something new to report.
We are still stuck in regards to the writing part, which is why Cres is unable to continue with the 3 CGs that are needed for the first demo release. (2 of 5 for the demo are done.)
It's frustrating for us too since we wanted to have that one released long ago, but the situation is pretty comparable to a clockwork.
If a cog is stuck it will stop the other parts from working, no matter how well the others could do individually.
We are deeply sorry that it's coming along so slowly even though it was supposed to be a project that should have been done a lot faster.
Anyways, that's all for now.

It's more like we simply can't find another writer. I know it sounds easy to just replace people if they aren't doing their work propperly, but it's very hard to find people that are willing to work for us (or any other developer in general) instead of them working on their own projects. We were looking for a writer a couple years already without much luck until we came across our current one, and he was doing very well at the start. But due to personal issues his output completely collapsed. Which is why the progess on DB GR is slow. If we had someone else to ask to write for us, we would have done so long ago, but we had no luck with that so all we can do is wait until our current one finaly deliver the texts for the CG scenes we need. Also it's no use to just take any writer we come across, since they need to know the characters and the lore at least in order to write the scenes for the characters propperly. And learning that takes time.

2019-10-02 20:19:42 +0000 UTCThe CGs are what takes longest on the updates for DB RPG, since it's about 1 completed CG scene per month, and then those 3 cut in thingies for the minigame, as well as one outfit graphic (which is already WIP). Aside of that there is the programming/implementation of a new mini game as well as the area it takes place in with NPCs to talk to and stuff, and the implementation of the CG scenes once they are done. And then then usual play testing and stuff. So yes, CGs and programming still needs to be done. (Usually there also would be writing work, but that has already been taken care of by Sierra Lee)

2019-10-02 20:19:05 +0000 UTCIs the writer you currently have really that exceptional that you keep delaying your projects because of them? I know a bit about the business and I can't fathom that the writer of all things is what keeps delaying you guys. Obviously I don't know about any personal issues, if thats the case
