Sorry it's been slow...

Hey everyone. Sorry things have been moving along so slowly. I can't really put the blame on any one thing. My mind is like a pie and it's being divided in every which direction. Many of those pieces are dedicated to FSA. I fumble a lot, and try to switch things up to keep everything moving along. I know the end result is that it appears nothing is being done, but I can assure you that I am indeed working on the game almost every day. Even on the days that I'm not, it's very likely that I'm spending who knows how many hours looking for image references for characters.

Speaking of which, Obakawaii won't be continuing the $15 sketches, sadly. I could potentially get line art instead, for $30, but I would prefer to explore other artist options first. I'm currently in the waiting lists of 2 sprite artists that I haven't worked with before. I hope both will mesh well with Bebecake's style, but only time will tell. I'll keep you updated on that. I'm also working with BecSantus on trying to find the ideal look for some characters' faces before they go to Bebecake for their face sets. It's not been 100% successful, but I'm very happy with how Nasira turned out: https://i.imgur.com/hJ3fSKM.jpg

I'm rather hopeful that the oral animation's climax frames will be finished soon. I did try to work on fixing things up in the House of Pleasure, but I just wasn't satisfied with the dialogue. I really want to go back and change it. I also got a little hung up on how to handle the strapons. Since then I've been working on monster & boss stats for the Necropolis, Hollows, and Coliseum, as well as some of their level layouts.

If anyone's curious about the game's development phases, it's pretty much like this:

*Ongoing Development Phase: Classroom Sessions, House of Pleasure, and other elements. While much of this is very relevant to some characters' development and optional quests, it has little to no bearing on Sienna's character development or the main storyline.

*Current phase: Necropolis, Coliseum, and Hollows
*Phase 2: The Temple
*Phase 3: Stygia (and wrapping up anything before the Final Chapter)
*Phase 4: The Final Chapter & Polish/Bug Fixes

Currently my intentions are to (ideally) complete the current phase, or at least 1 or 2 of those (ideally with new sprite animations where necessary), fix any issues with character dialogue in the House of Pleasure, get the oral animation done, AND do some bug fixing before the next release.
