V0.05 Progress Update #2!
Added 2016-07-17 05:21:01 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
Progress is going smoothly for V0.05, and I wanted to briefly stop in to tell you where we're at with things!
Eromancer: Artwork Progress
All 45 general poses/variations for Neon's new outfit battle portraits were wrapped up earlier this month! I've taken a break from the new outfit artwork and am working on a story H scene currently. It's gone a little slower than expected but I'm continuously trying to improve the possibilities I can manage with this artwork style, and I'm happy with the results so far.
AltairPL: Map Overhaul Progress
I got to test out the latest version of AltairPL's map overhaul just yesterday and the performance improvements were pretty incredible. In V0.043 I would get about 70 FPS standing around in the Access Tunnels B5 hub map (with the FPS cap raised). In the version with the map overhaul implemented, I got 110 FPS.
The biggest objective of the overhaul however is to simplify map creation, and it's going great in that aspect as well. AltairPL recently finished up remapping all of the maps in the map editor with his new system for marking passages and collision detection. His new system allows for more elevation layers on a map, makes it easier to mark traversable/nontraversable areas, and allows for us to do so on our new maps (which completely utilize parallax mapping as opposed to tilemapping). In addition, he's been able to considerably reduce the number of events required for standard things like opening chests / doors / traversing between maps and so on.
TK: 3D Map Editor Progress
TK's map editor is now preeeeetty much at the point where we can replicate the results of the overhead map process I've been using up to this point. Of course, the important thing is that we can do in about 30 seconds what took hours of busy work previously. I've provided below a set of renders from a very basic (and still janky) test map TK has set up. The final image in the set is a processed composite of the previous renders. Note that there are obvious errors still, but it's just for test purposes. It's convincing enough that I've included another screenshot from a different angle just to show this is really from the 3D editor :D.

Of course, replicating what we could do with our previous map creation process isn't good enough, so soon we'll be looking at ways in which we can create standardized ways to improve the results and make even better maps.
That's about it for now! Sorry there isn't more I can show, but yeah, spoilers and stuff :D. Till next time!
Comments
Not that'll matter in two days and someone probably told you already, but I'll be the assuming butthole. If you would like to start playing the game already you can PM Eromancer for the details.
2016-09-13 13:40:23 +0000 UTCI really want to play this game, the demo is cool but do I have to wait until v0.05 is release?

2016-08-07 22:03:08 +0000 UTCWe've had quite a few applicants, however we're holding off until we switch to a monthly campaign model since the job requirements are going to change significantly.
2016-08-07 02:16:46 +0000 UTCEarly September :D. I'm not sure of an exact date yet however~
2016-08-07 02:12:46 +0000 UTCIf you read before you pledged you would have seen what the $45 tier was, though. "Receive test builds of the game *between releases*". Be a good sport, man, everybody else who pledged at the $10 tier has to be patient too, don't be the one guy losing his cool over the wait
2016-08-06 03:50:26 +0000 UTCRealy? I have to pay 45$ to see an post? I Support you. Why did i need a 45dollar access to read the 3th Aug. review? Why did i Support you with 10$? If i will be an asshole, i can download this game anywhere else! But i dont wanna do this. Its a shame. Realy.

2016-08-05 21:51:02 +0000 UTCDo you have a release date of 0.05?

2016-08-05 09:12:16 +0000 UTCwe might be getting another update within this month. I am not sure but from the pattern I dont expect we will see any new version this month maybe september or october is my guess.

2016-08-01 17:27:18 +0000 UTCwhen can we have the v5 ?
2016-07-31 05:43:15 +0000 UTCYou are doing an awesome work guys. However, let me give you some advice / reminder, keeping fresh the costumes of the girls, the element being destroyed / repaired is remarkable and great. Erotic art is excellent now, but keep it up. Great work again!
2016-07-27 02:31:24 +0000 UTCI am sooo excited for this project, I've been wanting to subscribe for a while, but patreon prevented paypal accounts on adult pledges for a while, but now it seems to be working just fine again, so I'm sticking to this one!~

2016-07-26 11:35:20 +0000 UTCThanks Arnold! We're working hard on V0.05!
2016-07-25 23:30:27 +0000 UTCHey Eromancer, just wanna pop in and say you're doing a really good job. I know it's hard creating games but so far things are super awesome at the moment and the effort you put in is tremendous. I just wanna say keep it up and don't let go. This game has sooooo much potential. Anyway, I just wanna be sure - with the new patreon system in place, basically it will be you'll tell us when there is a new update, we donate and you give us the link, correct? Kinda like a Donate-now-play-now system if you could say so?
2016-07-25 01:20:33 +0000 UTCThe closer it gets the higher my anticipation rises. I'm really excited to see Neon in her all out breast-released glory.

2016-07-18 17:00:55 +0000 UTCgreat news about the outfits and story, can we expect to see all that in 0.05? And when?
2016-07-17 21:17:12 +0000 UTCCorrect me if I'm wrong. Like Neon, Ven is a synthetic. Lots of swappable parts. It seems to me she's got something that Neon doesn't...and to the victor goes the spoiles, right? ^_^

2016-07-17 15:23:47 +0000 UTCFantastic, that screenshot is the ultimate tease! I love it!

2016-07-17 14:33:28 +0000 UTCCant wait to see that.
2016-07-17 08:08:31 +0000 UTCI love seeing the progress in this game, it really makes it look worth while. I have three questions now. Will we see some "fun time" with Vem? Will Vem have an H attack? What more can we expect in the next update?
