Devlog - 29th Mar - Progress 2.10

Hi,

I've been working busily the last few days on the 2.10 content. After some reordering I am planning for BETA Mid April. You can see the progress in attached list, which also gives an overview what made it into the release.

On an unrelated note I stumbled once more over my Galaxina code and found it so horrendous that I spent the last day refactoring it entirely. This is another example of what happens when a game mechanics outgrows its original purpose (episode player) and you...

VIP Poll Winner - Underverse Shell (NSFW)

Hi,

here is the winner from the VIP design poll for the Underverse Shell (Abyssal Queen)!

The result was so clear (70% for red glowing eyes version...) that the poll could be closed after only a few days ;)

Just integrated the Shell into the 2.10 game. Looks very nice with a dark BG in the configurator. This is the new top of the line shell. Elite only. Bunch of special rolled stats. Unique. Attitude: Fanatical (means no escape, still thinking about that though...) View Post

VIP Poll - Design Underverse Shell (NSFW)

Hi

as I have received various comments on the VIP discord channel regarding the Underverse Shell design, I made 3 variations for you to vote on...

Let me know which you like best. The basic design aesthetic should be in the line what they are now though...

VIP/Upper Tier Preview - "Abyssal Queen" Underverse Shell (NSFW)

Hi,

here is a peek on a concept for the "Abyssal Queen" Shell, an Underverse related item. As the conspiracy quest is related to Underverse artifacts I am thinking about giving the player either the reward of this shell or a new Underverse item for his ship.

Choose wisely. Probably I get as much heat as for the galaxina shell when it turned out you can't have your figurative cake and eat it too ;)

Devlog - 24th March - Progress V2.10 (NSFW)

Hi,

currently I am writing the quest code for the Drengar Conspiracy Quest. You have to play P.I. and find out what is going on on the Drengar Station.

Below are a few screenshots from the Bar (The Leather Forge) in the entertainment district. I even commissioned a nice soundtrack for the bar (a bit in the mood of "cucarachas enojadas..." ;) ).

In the course of your activities you have to convince Khelara to go undercover into that bar and find a way for her to be hired......

Devlog - Space Journey X - Progress V2.10

Hi,

yesterday I started implementing the quests steps for the main quest. Still lacking a bunch of scenes and assets, but I'll make them as I go along.

I have also given the main screen a bit of an overhaul in reddish colors fitting to the episode.

Main contents

  • The Drengar Conspiracy Quest

  • Khelara progressive Uniforms

  • New underverse item(s) and ememies

  • New shell "Abyssal Queen"

  • Drengar Station Interi...

Something different...

Hi,

as I finished my Godot Engine trials phase one I thought I'd post the result. A mini space shooter that allowed me to get familiar with the engine. The coding parts are mostly familiar (python like), but the atomization of game elements into scenes ant the proper structuring gave me quite a challenge...
Not sure how it would translate to a massive project...

In any case, here is the compiled mini package for Win and Mac:

VIP Preview - Chambermaid Trixie (Quite NSFW) - Comments Welcome

Hi,

here is a concept for the Character of Trixie, an escaped Slave that sneaks onboard the Bumbling Bee. Always willing to help out you offer her the role as Seraphine's chambermaid.

That would be independent of the Khelara Questline, so lets see whether I can fit it in. It would lend itself to being connected to the Slavers Bay Station in Quthor though, so it might make sense to add her to 2.10 as well...

Comments welcome... ;)

VIP/Upper Tier Art - Quthor Bar Dancer (NSFW)

Hi,

I was setting up a cutscene for Khelara (she has to work undercover as dancer is some sketchy bar......) and I made this render with another Drengarian Dancer...

The foreground is a DAZ Genesis 8 Figure with my Drengarian Head Morph and the background has been rendered in Blender. I do a two pass workflow because DAZ is bad at rendering scenes and Blender is bad at importing DAZ figures correctly. So I do first one, then the other and overlay it.

Fortunately I h...

Devlog - 17th Mar - Progress V2.10

Hi,

today I made the final location (the bar in Quthor Station) and tomorrow I'll add the NPC (and make a spicy render or two with them :).

I made two variations of the bar but the first one (the glassy / purple version) was a bit too polished so I revised it to make it look more Drengarian. The white figures are NPC placeholders...

I also decided the main quest steps today. It revolves around uncovering some questionable activities in Quthor. From that I'll branch off wit...

Devlog - 4th March - Peek at V2.10 and Progress EAII V2.05

Hi,

2.05 Early access II is going well over the last week. Only a few quite minor issues reported. Official Release can be advanced to 9th of March I think.

While waiting for EA II feedback I have been starting to work on the assets for V2.10 storyline. The story itself is alreday outlined (thanks to Ashton for help).

Early Access Phase I is going well since Thursday. A few minor issues have been fixed in the latest 205_008 Update.

these are the Release Notes for Version 2.05.

Main purpose of 2.05 was filling in certain NSFW aspects, revised Achievement System, open Quest Parts, Auto Trading and other mechanics before I move on to Khelara's Quest in V2.10. There is also a large number of migration bugs that were reported from the field resolved.
Due to the many changes in early game (maintenances, trading, missions, ...) this is the Version to start a new play through :)
