December Status Update

Greetings, ladies and gentlemen,

It’s been a while since the last post, but we’re still around. As mentioned, I took a week or two off from working on the game—the last weeks before the update were honestly packed to the brim just to make the release possible and avoid further delays. It was pretty much a full-time job on top of my regular job 😅

Now, while I did say I would “take a few weeks off,” I still got drawn back to my game files more often than I’d ...

Current Bug-Fix

New version up on itch.

If you're already on v0.7.3.2 or v0.7.3.3, the whole bug that crashes the game on any attack made in combat can be fixed by going into the preference menu and selecting a difficulty manually. If you do that, both v0.7.3.2 or v0.7.3.3 work perfectly fine. If you're starting fresh, better use the new version provided.

The message warning you about an old save can be safely ignored if you use any save made with 0.7.3.x

November Status Update

Greetings everyone,
time for another round of rambling and stalling!

Good news first: While I’m typing these lines, the playtest version is compiling in the background, which means playtesting can begin tonight!

Flipside: There’s still some work left to do. One scene isn’t built yet...

The question of new media

Greetings, while I mostly work on finalizing the code and implementing all the loose scenes, my GPU is bored... sooo I tried to create a few videos, both locally with Wan 2.2 and with free Online tools. I did not post the best ones so far, as they contain major spoilers and are already implemented, but I wanted to share a few snippets with you and get some feedback.

There are yet a few downsides to those videos. The original resolutions are low, and upscaling does not get the style rig...

October Update

Greetings, everyone!
It’s time for the monthly status update. As some of you may have noticed, my optimistic estimates have once again not stood the test of time. However, progress has been steady, and we’re now close to wrapping up this update.

Let me give you an overview of what’s done, what’s left, and what the current timetable looks like.

We’re 99% done. Even Stella's trice damned date is now complete!

September Update

Gina, stop praying. I highly doubt God will answer you and finish this update for us…
Yes, I know you have an angel right by your side, but that doesn’t me—
No, a fortune cookie doesn’t count as divine proof! Especially not when you ate an entire box of them. By sheer probability, one had to contain a positive message!

Ugh... Fine, be like that. I’ll do the grovelling and apologizing on my own…

Well, greetings everyone. It’s that time o...

August Status Update

Hey everyone, time for the regular progress report!

Despite my naturally optimistic nature, I have to say the chances of an August release are looking slimmer. I’m still fighting for it, but yeah… it’s becoming less likely. This post will be on the shorter side, as a lot of recent progress has been on the less flashy but still essential side of development. 😔

Early July Status Update

Greetings!

It’s been a while since our last update, and I’ve (rightfully) been asked about the progress of Update 7. First things first: the very ambitious July release unfortunately won’t work out after all — so expect it sometime in August instead (I hope).

That being said, we haven’t been slouching — but the scope of this update is just on a whole other level.

Update 6.2: Monstrous Machinations

Greetings, my lovely supporters.
While 7.0 is still in the process, I can share the next part of the villain arc today, featuring:

Villain Arc - Part: Follow Susan and Opal on the next instalment of the villain arc; one struggling with her position of power, the other one already plotting her rise through the ranks.

New training function: On public demand, we added numbers to Gina's lifts on each training session and gave each exercise on eve...

Early June Status Update

Greetings, ladies and gentlemen,
It’s once again time for updates… and the usual round of bad excuses. So let’s dive right in!

First of all, progress has been a bit slower than expected. Two members of our art team are currently on hiatus, I’ve been busy chasing after my new whelp half the time, and we suffered some data loss on Susan’s scenes... but hey, nothing we can’t handle!

In fact, there are still quite a few things I can show you th...

Mid-May Status Update

Greetings, ladies and gentlemen.

Time for a long overdue status report. With my damn bachelor's thesis finally done, I was able to return to making my favorite little game with all the intensity it deserves 😁
So let me bring you all up to speed.

Writing and Art:
Last time, I mentioned that the main storyline was complete and that we’d be focusing on side content for the next development phase. And that’s exactly what we did. We’re now sitting at 8...

Late April Status Update

Greetings ladies and gentlemen,

Time for my usual ramblings to keep you all up to date.
Still busy with my bachelor's, but luckily that is over in two weeks 😁 And we still made some decent progress thanks to my amazing team picking up my slack in the meanwhile.


Writing:
We are currently on 7k lines for Update 7. The main storyline with the recruitment of the second army is now pretty much finished. Akari and Jade had their little adventure, being t...

Worst villain

Everyone can do a best girl vote (also, since it's Gina anyway, no need to even make that), but I would rather be more interested in our best villains. With the next instalment of the villain arc coming up in Update 6.2, I'd ask you all to humour me on this one and let me see how our villains currently rank.


So, who is the most interesting villain? Or who is the most hated one? Which ones you wa...

Short Status Update

Hey everyone,

Just a quick update to let you know we’re still alive and working.

Writing:

Right now, our focus is on the Recruitment Arc in Update 7. Burlingfort now has a proper underworld, where local gangs are struggling for control—or just trying to survive—as the newly founded Reapers and the Genovannos close in on already weakened groups.

In the middle of this chaos, shifting alliances, and power struggles, our two heroines...

Mid March Status Update

Greetings, ladies and gents!

It’s been a few weeks since we released Update 6.1, and we’ve definitely kept ourselves busy since then. There were a few minor refinements needed for the trial (like making the cheat mode easier to find 😓), but overall, the last update didn’t require much post-release work. That meant we could jump right into Update 7 already! 😁

Let’s talk a little about what we have planned content-wise and what’s happening behin...

Soooo... February is close to an end, but despite Gina's best efforts, the update is not.

We've hit an unexpected bottleneck close to the end. While over 95% of the update is done, we still can't ship out cause one scene is missing. You could ofc. blame the horrible Dev for his lack of foresight, but no one would... right?😅

So I'll hit you all with the usual:
- Thanks for the patience and the continued support
- Everyone not directly involved in that scene is still wor...

All in all, building this short update was really complex, but it's all coming together now. So I'll be taking...

Early February Status Update

Greetings,
been a while since my last post, so let me give you all a little peak behind the scenes of what's currently happening.

While I originally thought I could publish the Update 6.1 at the end of January, this was a very optimistic estimate. The complexity of Update 6 with its bugs and the Sound implementation kept me busy a long while after the release, so development of update 6.1 only started in earnest after the public release.

Music and its implementation

Hi, quick update on what's currently cooking. Me and my lovely basement dwellers have been hard at work to make the music implementation work, all according to the last vote on Patreon about the importance of music in the game. The amazing Nyx has provided us with plenty of songs to use and our current task is to put them in. If you want to listen in to them, here are the current playlist:

Update 6 - An Army of Amazons

Greetings, ladies and gentlemen!
It's been 4 months since any major update, but this ends today. On a rare occasion, I actually kept my promised release date and Update 6 is now uploaded on itch.io. I hope you'll all have as much fun playing as me and my wonderful team had making this (to be clear, I don't wish immeasurable suffering on you guys. It was really fun creating this!).

As promised, here's a small update on our current progress:

Done! Only a few small fillers are needed here and there to connect the scenes, which should take no more than a day of work. Special thanks to:
