Changes to the Character Development tier

So the arbitrary amount of $17 probably doesn't sit right with a lot of you.

I'm considering lowering the price of the tier for the future, to better accommodate more people. My goal with this tier is to have lively discussions with people about future content and future characters, so the more people in the tier, the better!

So I'm asking you, would you move to this tier if the price was lowered?

(Also: I've redone the intro! I can't believe I haven't changed tha...

I can't believe I forgot about the weekly update #16

I'm not sure where the last few weeks have gone to be honest. I've got a lot of gaps in my memory, which is...worrying.

Although, when I haven't been having weird blackouts, I've been working on the game! Still a long way to go (there's heaps to do for this update!), but I'll start checking with people in the future if they'd rather two half updates as opposed to one big update. 

Right now, I've still got most of the art to do, plus a fair bit of the writing, and all of the c...

Volunteers needed for dialogue questions!

So the player can attend Chloe's cooking class in this new update. I'd like a bit more of your input in cooking related questions the player might have for her. I want this to feel like an interactive experience, rather than something the player will just skip through.

basically, if you're interested in doing this, I'll send you a link to a google doc and you just "suggest" questions you might have, if she says something you don't understand, or the terminology is confusing, just let me...

$9+ patrons only poll: Scenarios for the next update

So here is the poll that you can vote on which scenarios appear in the next update. I'll be picking the top two.

Keep in mind that this is more about the "trigger" rather than the effects. Stuff like how long it takes, whether it is a gradual or sudden change, or whether it effects personality we can decide once the two options are chosen.

As there aren't a whole lot of people in these tiers, I won't be keeping this poll up too long, I'd rather get started on this stuff earlier ra...

Ideas for weight gain scenarios!

So I'm planning on putting two "magical" weight gain scenarios in this next update for Chloe.

I'll be setting up a poll with some ideas for you guys. Ideally, I'd the scenarios to be fairly simple, with not a lot of complex scenes to draw for now, but if people would prefer something more detailed, that's ok too.

So here's my list of future weight gain scenarios. If you've got a suggestion that isn't on the list, comment it or message me and I'll add it to the poll.

This pol...

The next update!

Looks like Chloe won the poll! She'll be dateable in the next update! She won't have as much stuff to do as Emily does at first, but I'll slowly expand options as I go.
I'm surprised how close it was, I just threw Shiori in there as a third option, but she proved pretty popular too! I'll try and add her soon as well. Grace I think will be better suited for later (but she may show up earlier as a non-datable character)

As for the next update, I'll be doing heaps of stuff. I'm hoping t...

Which character gets added in the next update?

So I'm planning on adding a lot more story and additional characters in the next update. A kind of "foreshadowing" of future dateable characters.

For now though, we have 3 choices to add for the first time.

So first of all, a newcomer to this game (though some of you might remember her from my earlier work). Shiori, an active and sporty girl, She loves being active, but could she actually...

MASSIVE opinion poll on 0.35! (Part 1)

So this was a pretty experimental update, so I'm interested to hear what people thought of the new content. Would you like to see more like this? Or less like this? Let me know!

As always, the more you contribute, the more I know what to focus on in the future!

I'll be setting up another poll soon for people to vote on which dateable character to add to the game. The next update will focus on a bit of restructuring, with a new start to the game and hopefully, a little more polish ...

MASSIVE opinion poll on 0.35! (Part 2)

So here's part two. Looking at opinions on the two bonus or "alternate" storylines. I quite enjoyed writing them, and would like to do more like this in the future, but if people don't like them, let me know!

This poll works the same as the first. Questions, then answers below them.

If you've got anything else to add, comment below, or message me!

Update 0.35!!!

Here it is! I went a bit more experimental with this one. Tried to be more ambitious than I really had time for. It's been a good learning experience, plus there's a couple of fun stories here, and a lot of foundation to build on for future updates.
I did cut a lot of corners with this one. It'll probably be pretty apparent in the art here and there, as well as a few scenes.

This game has lore now! More stuff will show up in future updates.

And to the questions you'll probably ...

Almost done!

So I've had a major formatting error, so I need to literally reformat every line, manually. Thankfully that's only about 2500 lines, so hopefully it doesn't take too long. I'll post a quick version tonight and then I'll double check for any bugs I missed tomorrow morning.

Just coding and debug to go!

Almost done. Should have almost all of the update ready to go in the next couple of days. Thank you for being so patient!

Weekly update #15

Behind. About to do an all nighter to get as much done as possible. I've still got 1 scene to write, a moderate amount of art to do and a fair bit of coding. Not too far away, thankfully, but a little more than I can probably get done in a single night. I've cancelled my plans this weekend to spend it getting this update out the door though. Hopefully it'll be out sometime on Monday.

Background stuff

So it's no secret that I am perpetually unhappy with my backgrounds. This next update will be no exception. I just don't have the time to spend on what is essentially digital painting.

As a result, the quality of backgrounds will be...quite varied.

We have stuff like this:

And...stuff like this:

Weekly update #14

Forgot to do this yesterday. :/

So the art for this next update is taking a little longer than I expected, which means I will have to cut some stuff, so some scenes might be a little less "cinematic" than I want. You'll have to use your imagination for now guys, I'm afraid.

I am hoping to get it out by this time next week, but that is assuming there are not major problems with the programming. There shouldn't be though.

Update 0.4 "Spoilers" (Not really though)

I've already given out all my spoilers for the next update, so I thought I might list out the stuff planned for the update after it.

So the next update is 0.35. The update after this one will be 0.4. I'm planning on adding a new character to this one, as well as foreshadowing a couple of others. I'm also planning on expanding the dating stuff with Emily, as well as fixing up some of the dialogue.

So a quick list of content for the update:

• Giving Emily more than a singl...

Weight gain scenario discussion ($9+ patrons only)

I'm planning on doing a weekly discussion of weight gain scenarios. For this first one, I won't really spoil anything, but please let me know in your comment below if you want to avoid spoilers here. It might make the discussion a little difficult, but I'll see what I can do.

The goal of this discussion is to provide information about what I'm planning for the future and what you'd like to see more of. This can be specific ("I'd like to see a storyline where the character gets a cur...

Weekly Update #13

Alright, so I've picked things up a bit this week from the last two. My estimate of around 2 weeks was fairly accurate. Assuming nothing goes wrong with the coding, it should be 2 weeks from today.

In other news, I've hit some major financial trouble and need to start doing a lot more non-game related artwork. This shouldn't effect the speed at which I make the game, as all the delays so far are caused by non-art reasons.

I'll keep doing the spoiler thing on mondays, it helps me f...

Story discussion (Minor Spoilers)

This will contain minor spoilers for the next update, as well as some plans for the one after that.

**********************************************

So the next update will be centred around a kind of app on the player's phone, using this app, the player can alter their girlfriend's appearance (currently just Emily, but it'll be available for more characters in future updates.) The gir...

Story Discussion (Major Spoilers)

So this will spoil in quite a bit more detail than the previous one. If you want the specifics of what happens to be a surprise, don't read this one.

***************************************************************************

As I mentioned in the other one, this one will revolve around an app that allows you to change your girlfriend's appearance. It will have elements of BE, AE and weight gain, allowing you to "customise" to...

SPOILER INFO

So unfortunately patreon won't let me use ||spoiler|| tags, so I've been trying to figure out a way to provide additional info to people without spoiling it for others.

I'll probably start posting some info on Mondays, discussing future ideas and plans for the game, leaving the Friday info dump for more of a progress update.

I'll try to make it into separate posts, some with basic information, and some without. If that doesn't work out, let me know and I'll try something else. Pos...

Weekly update #12

Delayed, because I am still sick. It sucks. The doctor has no idea what's wrong with me. I'm stressing out because of how delayed things are.

So while things are delayed it can be very frustrating for you guys. I like to try and keep details of the next update a bit secret, so it's a nice surprise when you play. But at the same time, I don't want people to feel like they have no idea what to expect. So I'm going to do a poll asking about it.

(Sorry if this doesn't make sense, I h...

Weekly Update #11

I've been sick all week, so not much to report. Hopefully will be able to be more productive next week.

Weekly update #10

Writing is mostly done for this next update. At this point it's the size of a regular update, rather than a miniature update. The update after this one will have a new character, and more expansion of the normal relationship stuff.

The longest part of creating every update has been the art assets, but as I produce more and more of them, I need to make less in the future. Hopefully future updates will come out much quicker (especially when I reach the "polish" stage).&nb...

Weekly Update #9

So it turns out the "mini" update stuff was actually far more work than I anticipated. At this stage it's still probably quicker to release it and then the bigger update, but it's taking longer than I would like.

Overall it's quite experimental, and sometimes experiments don't turn out the way we'd like them to. I might try cutting a bunch of the non-WG related content for it, to save time. The idea was that the player would have an app on their phone that let them change not just the s...

Weekly update #8

Been struggling a bit this week, had to help a friend through a personal crisis.

The next update probably isn't coming out next week, but it shouldn't be much more than 2 weeks at the most.

It's a bit experimental, so I'll be interested to see if people are wanting more of this sort of content, or if everyone prefers the content I've been doing so far.

Also: I'll be periodically streaming some of my work this week, if you want to see a weird Emily mix and match po...

I nearly forgot the weekly update #7!

So the main news is: I've decided to split this update into two. There'll be an "app" mini-update with just Emily, but I'll be doing a larger update with a new character (as well as new scenarios for Emily) later.

This way you don't have to wait too long for new content. It also gives me a chance to experiment with some new styles of coding.

Bonus storylines in the next update!

So it looks like more "magical" stuff is not most people's focus right now, so there won't be too much of that. I do want to add one or two scenarios along those lines though.

Otherwise this latest update will mostly be focused on expansion of more traditional dating sim ideas.

Below is a poll of the more magical ideas, I'll pick the ones people seem to like the most.

As always, you can vote more than once.

Weekly Info #6

Mostly been focused on how to intergrate a new character into the game. For now, I've decided on Flora, Emily's quiet, nerdy friend. She's due for a bit of a redesign though. I'll be putting something up this next week to showcase that. I've been having some art troubles lately, so it's been slow.

I've also been figuring out some new scenarios to fit into the game. Ideally, I'd like each character to have a couple of completely unique scenarios, but a number of more "general" scenarios ...

Weekly info #5

Not much to report, this is a planning week.

It looks like most people want a new dateable character added, so that'll be the focus.

I'll be spending a lot of time drawing new art assets and writing dialogue for a new character this time around. Making an entirely new character takes longer though, so my plan is to work on the new stuff "in the background" so to speak, while also focusing on other stuff. Worst case scenario, the next update is relatively small, without a new chara...
