HeavenlyPeaks

Building The Wuxia World (Project Aspirations)

I want to talk for a minute about the plans for Heavenly Peaks Cultivation and the direction the project is headed.

I didn't delve too much into why and how Bai Huan arrived on the Immortal Mountain, because those things will slowly be revealed near the end of the game's prologue (which is coming as soon as February's release I hope!)

The first 7 months of your time in Heavenly Peaks, you will essentially be a struggle to prove your right to enter the Golden Lotus Academy -- the p...

Trying out a new title

Thoughts?

I'm aware, most of these characters haven't made an appearance yet. But, soon for some.

1.0 Release Notes

I was pretty out of it earlier, but after a nap I feel better. So I'll better explain the latest release.

Most notably:

The intimacy system has been revamped and added back into the game. Essentially, how it works is that you bond with / chat with a person and unlock the ability to have fun with them. Foreplay, Sex and Kink related sex.

Currently Mai and Yenay are the onl...

1.0 Release

*Note, the last version of the game released was 0.8. Due to stability, I decided to bump the project up to version 1.0*

First off, Merry Christmas (if you celebrate), if not -- Happy Holidays!

I just want to point out what happened with the release. I originally planned to release this 2 days ago. Unfortunately I injured myself not too long ago. I pulled a muscle in my abdomen that essentially pains me if I breathe the wrong way. Needless to ...

I Ran My Big Mouth And... Well...

XD.
I was on track to release tomorrow and technically I still could. But there's a few things I want / need to do for this update before I will feel truly satisfied.

With that in mind, I think I will push the release date to the 22nd, so Wednesday.

Here's a summary of what I've added thus far:

• About 200+ new renders.
• 25+ videos (closer to 30).
• 6 Main Story Events (eyeing at least 4-5 more)
• Intimacy System - Adds some evergreen scenes yo...

I Shall Seal Thee Away, So That Thou May Become Whole

I don't know where that title came from, I was feeling fancy, I suppose.

Starting today, right now , specifically I'll be afk until the release date.

I tend to work better without having to manage social media and what not.
I'd also like to share some of the progress I've done so far:

• # - Fixed an bug related to level cap.
• # - Fixed item paging for inventory s...

Mother / Daughter {Mock-Up}

While taking a break from some "heavy work", I decided to tinker with a few more character creations.

Since they are mother and daughter they resemble each other in many ways. There are quite a few minute differences as well though.

For example body types:

Once again, these are characters you won't meet until after academy -- but I thought I'd take some time to get ahead...

"The Queen", Mock Up

This is a character that you will meet once Academy days begin.
I still have a good bit of time to finalize things. I may change her face a bit more, but for now I'm happy about the way it's turning out.

Thoughts?

1.0 Progress Update

I'm back, like I never left!

Fingers crossed, I can get a new PC before the release. I'm working on it!

P.S. Normally this would be version 0.10, but I decided to jump the version to 1.0. It's stable enough and -- what the hell, the new year is nearly upon us.

Holiday, Holiday!

Hello,
If you're not in the US Thanksgiving is this week. If you are, and simply don't celebrate -- Happy Holidays in regards to what you do celebrate around this time.

Work for me will resume around the 27th, see you then!

Battle Explanation {Manual}

After a certain point, Bai Huan is introduced to battle. At first there will be very little you can do during combat but later on you will be able to take more action.

Battle is active and allows for switching of battle stances. Each battle stance has a different benefit and should be used to affect the outcome of a fight. There are four total and they are listed below:

• Balance Stance- Balance has no benefits or disadvantages -- but it is great for restoring...

Academy Is Approaching!

It may be a month or two -- (really depends on how well I can improve the work flow this month and next), but Bai Huan's entry into the Golden Lotus Academy is around the corner.

With that in mind, I have a decision to make. The project currently does not generate enough support to pay for original content to be made / added into the project. (For example, proper eastern fantasy outfits).

I have been kicking the idea around of having Bai Huan and the others adhere to a "dress cod...

Suggestions For Next Release? Put them here!

As the title suggests, I'm looking for more suggestions on what should be fixed, added or improved for the next version of Heavenly Peaks.  

I already have a personal list of things, but I'd like to hear from you. No request is too large or small, so leave them in the comments, in the discord channel -- or you can drop a message in my inbox.

0.8 {Compressed -- Includes Android DL}

After nearly 2 days and 20 hours of toil (no lie, I kept getting weird results!) I managed to compress the game to a great point without loss of visuals.

Here are the links if any of you wish to use them, and I will endeavor to compress the game with each new update from this point on:

Big Christmas Update (Normal!)

With this, the ETA for the next release of the game (1.0) becomes 12/20. Truth be told, I didn't really expect anyone to pick this option. I thought for sure people would go for one of the content updates but *shrug*.

Along with this, here are a few of my focuses:

• To add missing elements (bathing, sex options, inventory ...

Welcome new Patrons!

I just wanted to take a moment to welcome you and say thanks for your support. Actually- that goes for everyone. You're valued and your support means a lot.

If you haven't yet, check out the current poll regarding the game's next update. You can find that here. I plan on altering the duration of the poll to end tomorrow, as I will most likely get started working on the project again in a few days time.

Holiday Release (Poll -- no really this time)

I'll leave the fate of the holiday release schedule to you!

Holidays are generally a busy time of the year. Still, I don't anticipate a major difference with the release scheduling.  Realistically speaking, this may mean a bit less content for updates -- but I don't think it will be too much different than usual. (I hope I didn't just put my foot into my mouth!) This is because, I have no life bwa ha ha. *internal screaming* Therefore I shall leav...

HotFix for 0.8

- Fixed a known issue where crafting Gifts might cause an error. (major fix)
- Fixed the abysmally low drop rate of Purple Grass in Nearby Forest (needed for some gifts). (QOL fix)

The download links should reflect the new version (0.8.1), but you will have to download again if you already have (sorry for le inconvenience, but I still do not have a proper play tester).

0.8 Update

Hey folks!
This past weekend (Friday) attended my brother's wedding. It was nice, to see family and friends! After that I took a bit of a break on Friday and Saturday evening. Sunday I worked on the project and I am currently working on it now (lunch break!)

I expect to release the project no later than tomorrow afternoon. It could be a bit earlier, depending on what I get done with today. But that's the most realistic ETA I can give you in good faith, partially because I feel I'm a ...

And in the final stretch-- things went left!

I planned on releasing today, prior to a wedding engagement I have tomorrow. Unfortunately  I did not foresee a social engagement that took up a great deal of my time yesterday.

Due to that, I'm a bit behind on my anticipated release time. I'll most likely spend the rest of the evening and some of tomorrow morning working on the project -- but the wedding is Nov. 5th (Friday) afternoon.

Therefore that puts the earliest release of the project at this weekend. My apologies, a ...

0.8 Release Date Nov. 4th

I have a wedding to attend this week, (5th) so it will be down to the wire!

Also, if I haven't said it before, thanks for supporting Heavenly Peaks. I've been largely silent with this update as I'm trying something new. Doing the work, then sharing it!

Here's a few of the things I've added since last time:

• Lin Dreams (2)
• More Guobei events
• Bath-time - Prevents your fitness from declining as much and you can bathe with the person of your c...

0.8Progress Report

0.8 has very few feature additions, instead opting to focus on progressing Bai Huan's story. This comes by way of Mai and her quest to confront the "creature" in the Forest. Along the way, you meet a new face that offers an unexpected olive branch.

Her name is Syphii and her introduction has long been overdue! As you may be able to tell, she's not human -- far from it. But her help will be inst...

Known Glitch (Fixed)

Just yesterday I ran across a glitch that may result in unexpected behavior for the game, essentially allowing you to click on buttons beneath your current screen.

This has been fixed with the latest version of the game which will release in a few days.

It was a simple, easy to fix thing but it has the potential to disrupt your game in a major way, so it's worth mentioning. You can avoid it by making sure to click on screen elements from inventory or craft menu exactly for the t...

Usually when I'm quiet... I'm working!

It's been kind of bothering me that I haven't been able to add as much content as I want lately!

So I've been focusing on work.  I find it the best way to get the results I want.  I've also been researching ways to improve your experience as a supporter of Heavenly Peaks. I'm working diligently in my own ways.

I just wanted to drop you a line and also give you something nice to look at!

Training Enhancement and Bottlenecks {New Feature}

Originally, when I came up with the system of stat growth for Heavenly Peaks, I intended for it to be a slow build sort of thing. The purpose of that was simple, to allow the player to do other things like craft and socialize without worrying about spending all of their time training.

I'm recently reconsidering that a bit, and along with that I've decided to implement a new feature starting with the next release.

Training will allow you to gain talent points. As you know, Talent p...

0.7 On The Way

That took a bit longer than I thought, but I think I have managed to reach a decent stopping point while still adding a good amount of new content.

Most of the additions revolve around telling more of the Main story which relates to Mai as well.

Here is the full list:

• Fixed a bug with crafting where neglecting to set a recipe would cause an error.
• Added additional info to enlightenment training to notify you upon mastering a topic.
• Added Skills clas...

Decision Time Daoists!

I've been wondering if it's better to include more story content in 0.7, or just do the lite update like I have planned.  With this in mind, I decided to leave the decision to you all.

  :Option 1: 

Would you prefer 0.7 to have more content (as in, a few more features, like skills for battles, inner techniques, etc) . This would require a few more days due to play testing, but essentially you'd also get more new play time as it would allow for ...
