Update And Question

If you hadn't checked it out yet, we set up a github bot on discord so everyone can know what the coder is working on. Right now, the time line is looking like.

- Engine is finished March, maybe going a bit into April
- Gui followed up right after taking around a month to finish
- Content past and present taking around a month 

Note From The Coder ~

Ill be completing bits of gui and content while the engine is being worked on, just not all of it.

Question From Azul~

With the engine still being made from the coder, more news always updated in the discord as well! Early viewers definitely go check out the pictures on there as well!

Azul is wondering if people would be interested in the raw text not in game? We did this once before and it wasn't used much, but since we are still waiting, would you be interested? Until the engine is done and it's being updated for all the content that's been in game, and a bunch more that Azul has written up.

Next Update From The Coder

here is what exploring looks like now (with buggy graphics and the debug overlay enabled). seems to be working fine! enjoy the debug text as well.  

after you get to chapter 3, this will be replaced by the GPS system, which will let you move around via an app on the in-game phone. handy!

Update From Coder

small update for ya on what ive been coding, nothing exciting or cool video or picture related to show as of now: 

- i've just been working on the various systems, with exploring hopefully done pretty quick; and with both dialogue systems and the exploring systems done a bunch of the game will be playable here pretty soon, which is exciting :) 

- ive also been making sure the various platforms work. android, web, windows, and linux versions are all working fine; bar anyt...

Quick Update

While Gui and finalization to the look hasn't been completed yet as the coder continues to make the engine, he did wanted to bring some of the feel of the html version back to the game. Rough draft but icons and other such stuff will be coming as he continues on!

But wanted to show something despite it not being ready for live! Aiming for next month for it all to be done! Just got to focus on engine then doll it up! Check out the attachments, and come onto discord as the coder will be g...

Cgs Be Needed

As you all know, we like cgs out the wazoo in SbA, and we're not stopping that. But to involve you guys more, our artists have asked for you guys to help suggest what will be made. 

We've included a list of some characters to help remind people, the full list of characters can always be found here, even when more get updated of course.

Mainl...

Help Choose New Npcs To Meet!

With the winding down for the artists to change the art, they'll be able to make new characters for you to interact with and meet in upcoming updates, and they asked for our patreons to help decide that!

The choices there are just to help you think of some npcs aside from just a birb guy, or croc to rock. So feel free to write what you'd like to see in how ever much detail you want! The artists will be reading all suggestions and making decisions based on what you guys suggested.

Bad News Again...

Azul here. Come to give you, some bad news.

Our coder Wattson has left due to personal life troubles.

The good news is that we have a coder to replace him.

The other bad news is we're going to be behind because of this.

The new coder is being updated on how everything works and being updated. This time however, we're going to have him completely finish the engine before any new content is added in. This way everything's in and even if he has to go and we have to replac...

Monthly Update Post~

We didn't want to go too long without saying anything even though there's not much to report, so here's a little report of what's going on.

Azul is working hard on writing the intros for the new explore system talked about before. No more rng running into your husbandos! Now, just be there when they're supposed to be there AND BAM!!! Rng event with your chosen husbando at the time.

Not that everyone will be willing to talk to you and hang looking any old way, but Azul is making su...

Ratty Business

We're not entirely sure we'll be able to get you guys a build with all the system intact, holiday work and family keeping up busy, but we wanted to show off something. We're still hard at work and still aiming for that everything done in march, and will have more time next month to get you guys some systems and some new content to look through in between!

Then again, that might be harder with the whole using you phone to talk to people now, since we got to make sure there are people to ...

Denizen Tier Open

With our artists having the ability to do so again, we have reopened up Denizens! As the writer and coder are hard at work continuing to work on the game, we'll able to take in requests as we used to for new scenes or characters in game!

Please be sure to read over the Denizens Requesting A Scene/Character given in the basic info doc.

Just A Quick Update

As stated in the previous post with the update, we'll be focusing on finishing off the last of the systems in the upcoming month(s), hopefully just month. Meaning not much content will be release along with this. Once we are done, then it's content dump everywhere! We want the game to be just as juicy as it used to be without so much rng. Including the rng we have now with Boss' work events.

If you rather not be subscribed for such updates, please be sure to stop the monthly paying. We'...

SbArPg More Work Till The Big One

Sorry for getting this out to you all late, but been a bit busy with the holiday season and all. Doesn't mean this update is any lighter! Along with it finally being the time to input the code, Boss got some work for you, and not to mention the cgs.

What's Changed?

• Now when cleaning the baths at night, you can help both Shlar and Greg get a little stress relief. Along with Greg having a little visual aid, with Shlar having some favoritism to those who can stretch....

Update On What's Happening

Due to the holiday season, we are having issues with rl that's preventing us from releasing on the normal date, but we are expecting it to be out this weekend! Work and family as you might have guessed. Holidays are pretty busy.

On a more down note. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to keep in contact with our artists for quite some time now, and there are important things we need from them. This won't affect this update, but might affect future. We'll update this post once we know mo...

Time For Good News Bad News

Good News! Instead of waiting, we've decided it would be best to just hurry up and finish all systems in the game.

Bad News, that means next month's update will be the last (publicly) till it's done.

With the recent additions and background changes to the game, saves from a few months ago work... But they'll give  you errors like no tomorrow... We're checking into that, but we decided it's just best to hurry up and finish the last few systems, rather than what we're doing now...

SbArPg Working For Boss

With being left at night~ Without a thing to do, Boss has finally found some clients for you. Not to mention! Someone decided to wake up. Starting the beginning to please a wolf that really wants you do fight for some reason. Will you finally discover as to why? Probably not now, but later.

What's Changed?

• Boss has multiple events for you do to work on as time killers for the night since everyone is either busy or asleep. Many of them are 1 time only while a few are repeats....

Delay & News Quick Update

Due to work related issues taking up time, this month's update will be delayed by a day or 2.

In other bad news. Doctor Professor Darrius will no longer be apart of the story. He will be replaced with another character and mentions of him will be changed if need be. This does also mean everything planned out for him needs to be redone with a different character in mind.

This won't delay all the systems being in place. Just the MSQ for a bit in order to make things make sense in la...

SbArPg Into The Night

We've left the morning and put our feet into the night, but what will it hold in future events? For now, it's just a taste of what's to come for the future. All encouraged by your lovable Sensei of course. 

What's Changed?

• The rest of your training with Gen and Xav of course. Can't get ready to head into the night without have that body of yours prime and ready. 
• Another exchange of events when going into the night. No longer blinded by the light, you can ...

Aa Suspected Delay

We're having some issues with testing and time restraints, so this month is going to be a day or so late. We'll have it out as soon as it's ready, but don't want any bugs and such blocking you guys from chewing through the content.

Small Monthly Status Report

Not really much to report, since it's still just working on the basics for us, but still wanted to give you guys something than nothing.

For the story wise, the continuation of Gen's "Training" is on the way. Though while it's pretty easy to know what to do once you get the hang of things, there might be more of a reason to continue to the bar with him. But, how long with your Sensei go on for on the grind, rather than getting you the knowledge only he can offer so you can get your VENG...

Quick Bug Fix Update

Just throwing out an update for a bit of things. Pick it up at all the places!

What changed?

• Spelling/Grammar fixes
• Bug with one of the goblins dic being too big it broke the game while working for Boss
• Xav shrinking instead of them balls growing where he vanished from the game
• Kru constantly needing more and more human test subjects before he's actually ready for them

SbArPg Renpy Update

It is finally time for the first build to the change over to renpy to release!!! After months of waiting, it's ready to be experienced for all to see! Just don't be mad at us with the decrease in content. This stuff takes time. Don't worry, all the old stuff + more juicy bits are coming. We just need time to get it all in. But come the end of chapter 3! You'll be seeing all the systems come back!

What does this hold? Find out below!

What's Changed?

Patreon Updating

As we're releasing the public release and patreon versions update, the patreon page will be changing beforehand throughout the day. The cheat version will be coming back as well. After patreon and pages are done, we'll be putting out the release and patch notes like normal.

Back On Schedule!

It's not ready for public consumption just yet, so instead of trying to rush the coder or artists, we'll just go with the normal release schedule. That means on the 8th, we'll have new content from the demo along with the proper looking patreon again! While we're still a long ways off from having everything the way we want it to be, least we'll be able to give you guys the content monthly again.

Just a reminder, the fully updated combat won't be in till after chapter 3 is done where we ...

Little Progress Report

Hey guys! 

We just wanted to give you all a little update on what's going on. Not much in form of new content as been added in, a few extra things before the start of chapter 2, but a lot of going back and changing a number of things. Not story wise but everything else. Art, system, ect... 

It's taking awhile and we've run into a few snags, but it's helping us learn how to better handle future situations so we won't have to run into these issues again, and how we should ...

Tempering Expectations + Hopeful Monthly Releases Soon

We'll be aiming for it, but don't want to make any promises. Before we go into further details, let's temper expectations.

1st of all, things will be heavily scaled back than what the game was. This does mean content and limiting freedom at first. Why? Well with the new engine change and the change of coder, we have to catch him up on everything. While the words and easily be reformatted to fit renpy and then slowly brought over, everything else, not so much. 

The lovable wal...

Demo Is Here!!!

That's right! Now, experience all the changes in it's renpy goodness before everything is done!!!

We're still working on the gui and a number of the character art needs to be changed still. Along with the addition of new art in a bunch of places, but here it is!

It lasts until you do the intro scene with Boss and Gen with being able to work with Boss afterwards. End of chapter 1, but before 2 even starts. The intro remain roughly the same with some minor changes, but after that......

Another Quick Update~

We just wanted to give you guys another update since it's been awhile. Don't want to go forever without saying anything.

For the most part, the game is coming along nicely. The main issue arising. Next to none of the pictures are made with renpy in mind. Meaning there's a lot of work needing to be done to mostly everything that was already drawn in order to have it fit properly. Can't have a Zorro as big as a Gen, nor a Brass taking up 90% of the screen. This whole chapter thing also he...

Small Update

Didn't want to leave you guys hanging too long without us saying something.

Unfortunately, still no playable game yet. YET! We just don't have you guys having to restart and there's still a number of systems to be put into place. Although... It is highly easy to press that skip button in renpy...

Chapter 1 is almost done and has a bunch of new content. The whole chapter based thing is giving Azul a lot to work with in with changing a bunch of text. Unlike before, there's going to ...

More Big Changes

Hey guys! Like we’ve mentioned before, we wanted to give in more detail of what’s changing when going over to renpy. So, let’s start it.

Game Flow
Starting off with the one changing the most. Instead of just wandering around doing whatever you want you’re being put on a railway at first. The game will start you out with story and just introduce system after system, character after character. You’ll have a limited area and time to work with, then as you cont...
