Hey guys,
I'm about ready to animate this, but before that...
A few of you guys (I'm looking at you Mr. **** lol!) keep wanting to see some GxG or FxG action in Ramen no Oujisama. So we have the dialogue support for that for some time now. But the graphics. Well, that's the big question... can we support that sort of transformation within the game? I'd say no and maybe. No because it will over-complicate the game's design, and increase the development time for each of these ...

Hey guys,
Here's what she's gonna look like this time around. I'm done with the flat look! I just need to fix up the facial parts, and the usual highlight, shading, and other finishing touches. She's giving the MC some bewb grabbing. So this time, I think the stomach area should be easier to fix up, and maybe we can give more bounce in the animation. This scenario will be updated, I'll try to keep the text, but things may change around.
I'll be posting these - namely the scenes av...

Hey guys!
I'm updating the builds once more. There's a bug on the fullscreen feature that R246 spotted. It seems to affect performance as well. With this, fullscreen should really occupy the entire screen, and not make way for the task bar. This affects mainly Windows users, we're updating all the builds anyway and will be updating the v0.8.0 release post. We'll also be updating Summer in Springtime's v0.8.8 release post so this game will have this feature and fix as well.

Hey guys,
I've finished up the art for Mana. So she looks like what you see here. I'm testing out the angry look and showing y'all the added size to her ( . ) ( . ) since the casual yukata and miko wear that I've made appear a bit tight on the bust area. Though I've added a bit more padding to those, too. I'll have to prep her up for animation before Mie No.3 ;)

Hey guys,
I've been browsing around some old art and animation files that I've made, and I remember this one. I made this back in 2016 when the game engine wasn't as fixed up and I didn't know what my limitations were with the animation runtime lol! Those hidden gotchas made doing this one very difficult to do back then. Well, I know better now lol! So since this is one of my faves, I'll try to bring this particular scene up to date. As you can see, there are some parts...

Update: I read you guys! Here's the thing, you'd think they'd have the minimize, maximize, close and alt-enter work out of the box, but this wrapper we're using doesn't exactly make maximize and alt-enter available out right, and this must be due to cross-platform compatibility. So here's what will happen: I'm updating builds right now and will update the v0.8.0 release page links once they're live.

I can't seem to find the old post where we were talking about this one. That could've been more than a year ago already... but no, that doesn't seem possible since I would've discussed it while between doing the 7th and 8th character routes. Ah well, let's do a refresher.

Yes folks! It's that time again, polling time!
Ok, I spoke with Sharkie and he'd like to see what you guys are interested in seeing for the 10th character route.
I'll open this for the $10+ supporters first. Then let's have the top 3 voted by everyone. We'll enable multiple voting so if you can't make up your mind, that's a-okay!
We'll provide a little more detail about things we come up with once the top 3 are in!

Hey guys,
With the recent releases out of the way, I've a couple of things to get done this month. First off, a special scene for that thing I'm preparing to make (right now it's for the $25 supporters). I'll get right on that. Then, after I pass off the hair and head works to the artist, I'll get started on the 9th (and maybe 10th) character designs. I have spoken with Sharkie so I've got an idea on what the next character should look like. And after that, more special scenes - maybe 1...

Hey guys,
I'll be updating the builds of our games again to fix the black screen some of players may be experiencing upon starting the game. It seems I underestimated the slow connection problem. This affects the game if you:
- Play any of the online version of the games
- You have a slow connection with the website or the website is slow
In such rare cases, the game is trying to get ahead without the main stuff loaded up, so you'll get a black screen instea...

Right now, I've sync'd up the code and other changes for the base versions of the game and will just need to apply them to the other subversions. I still have one last chapter to do, so while I'm waiting for that, I'm hoping to take care of this time consuming pre-release prep work by then, after which, I'll be doing quick test runs on the different releases to see if there are any problems I've mi...

Hey folks!
I'd just like to give you guys an update on where we are on v0.8.0. I'm more or less done prepping up the scene for the first 2 chapters. Another one is coming in for me to do. I'll see if I can do this first - or at least prepare the basic scene for now - since I'm about to sync code and files between games and versions right now (there's a bit of code to merge since the attempt at Godhood), so I'll at least shave a couple of days preparing for the release.

Sorry for the lack of updates! I've been working on the character sprites of that experiment I've been toying around with. Rendering them took longer than I expected due to sprites needing new artwork from scratch.
Sharkie's passed me the next two chapters of the 8th character route and he'll give me the next round maybe next week. So this gives me some time to do the special scenes, the currently available chapters, and sync up the code for the different versions of th...

And here's the other one! ;)
I'll prepare some other art works that I left hanging a bit after this one before I dive into the special scene scripts.
Sharkie's about half way through the story, and I haven't looked into the finished ones yet.
That's it for now!

I came down with some weird stomach flu-like crap just before New Year so I had to abruptly pause work on that animation. Stomach and intestines throwing a tantrum at me for 2 days.
I'm recovering now and I'm expecting this to go away in a day or two!

Apologies for the lack of updates, but... there really isn't much to update while I'm grinding on coding woes. Well, this update is more about Godhood Chronicles. I've managed to get the inventory working - at least the basic inventory management stuff, so that's stuff like adding, removing and updating the inventory list, using stuff, equipping them. I was telling myself I'd go back to doing some art stuff after this yesterday, but spent it bug fixing this thing :/

I'm back with some goods. I've prepped up both works and I just made them line art for sampling purposes. I've asked Style B artist to alter the eyes of her style, while I made some of my own alterations. Changes are limited to the head/face area.
Ok! Can I ask you guys to vote on which style you prefer once more, given the changes?

I didn't get to post updates in about a week now since I was busy with getting some basic functionality of Godhood Chronicles running. Right now I managed to get the messaging and choice list systems running with some compromises on what the original had. Text here will fade in and out instead of being "typed up." I'm constantly looking for bugs and it seems I got most if not all of them for these two. They'll appear as I try putting in the intro part of GC together.
