Here it is! This wasn't the relaxed, thorough, meticulous play-through I'd hoped for because I didn't want to make you guys wait. It should be an adequate test, making sure nothing is entirely broken. I am wiped. -_-

We're very close to having everything we need. I've seen the new Yarra expressions and they look good, they just need a modification to look good in RPG Maker. I've approved the color on the title screen and I'm confident the next version will be the one I'll go with. It will take me a little while to test everything, but still... soon. ^-^
Meanwhile, I could still use:
- Ideas for screenshots of the lines you think are funniest.
- General promotion ideas.
- Feedback on the new version of th...

Okay, this post is going to double as a weekly update and the version 0.8.0 progress post! There's a lot to cover - skip to the end if you just want to be involved with the key issues.
UPDATED: APRIL 27
I know this isn't the best-looking game out there. I don't have the technical skills to compete with some of the amazing stuff other people are putting out, but I do think about this. Whenever I can improve something without taking time away from creating more content, I try to go for other imp...

Okay, busy times! Wanted to catch you guys up on what I've been up to and what you can expect in version 0.8.0 of the game:
- A new chapter of content, of course.
- A bunch of new sex scenes. The ongoing pattern will probably be fewer during the action sequences, more when the characters reach a home base area.
- Introduction of the full economics system. If you thought the 50,000 Sx goal was just an arbitrary requirement, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
- Updated graphics, including some ma...

Hey guys, quick update on the art stuff (expect a 0.8.0 progress update tomorrow). There are a number (5) of questions below.
I've decided to drop some money getting things just right. I'm not rolling in cash, but I care about making this project the best it can be. After listening to everyone's feedback, I decided to keep the current Hilstara and just pay an artist to improve her faceset. Take a look at this:

I have a day off this week, so I'm starting things early. I've compressed and uploaded version 0.7.1, so I'm ready for the public release tomorrow. Now it's time to focus on characters, and more specifically their artwork.
While my resources are pretty limited, I do take people's feedback seriously. To that end, I've spent time, effort, and money to acquire some new art. A lot of this is stuff you'll hear about later (with version 0.8.0) but one major aspect is potential character redesigns. I ...

NOTE: This version of the game has significant rewriting, some new gameplay scripts, and some graphical improvements. Unfortunately it's still too buggy to really play. If you haven't played the game before, play version 0.6.0. But if you've already played the full game, give this one a try for a taste of my true vision of the game.

Exciting release today, but this ISN'T the next chapter. If you care about graphical improvements or gameplay updates, though, this is a big one. And most critically of all, I've done a bunch of work on the dialogue. I think it's a lot better now, take a look and tell me what you think!

I have the time/opportunity to either make myself, commission, or request some more sprites. Probably just character sprites, unless I'm feeling really ambitious. Are there any character sprites you'd like to see modified or improved?
Update 4/5
- Ina, Sister Kara, and Lucy now have unique sprites and faces.
- Asked a friend for Orcent and better Varia (the bandit) sprites.
- An upgrade for Aka may or may not be in the works.
- At least Simon will get an alternate costume eventually, I'll s...

I tried a new method for working on the update this time. It worked well in some ways, didn't work as well in others. I will have to keep experimenting to see what is best.
In any case, this week has been immensely productive. Not that the previous two were wasted, but this was the one where I really saw everything come together and put the majority of the plot elements into the game. Having those in decent shape always makes me feel better about the update - there's lots left to do (for exampl...

Going to be quick this time:
1) $10 Patrons! We have some great ideas for the newest bonus scene, but we could use more. Find the other activity and contribute!
2) Progress on version 0.6.0 is reasonable. Timing will hinge on how busy I am at work, but I'm aiming for early March.
3) I should have my new laptop pretty soon.
4) I've made one world-building change I'll explain now. I was going to leave the money abstract, but since people have repeatedly reported getting funds as errors, I deci...

Since my computer is dead, this is a good time to do some extra writing. That means increasing the total amount of sex scenes in the game, and for this one I wanted to get your input.
Specifically, who should be the last prostitute in Stineford?
There are currently three scenes in the whorehouse that fleshed out different aspects of the world. I ran out of time, however, and had one of the prostitutes be on break. Now that I have more time, I'd like to go back and add one more scene. What do y...

Setbacks (like my laptop dying) are always a good time to write up the new sex scenes, since they can be typed out in a text file just about anywhere. One scene this update is more playful, while another is an extended scene with a character you already know. I'll probably also get to another side scene back in Stineford, depending on what people say in the other thread.
Now that I'm a little further from my computer crash, I've taken stock. Fortunately, I did a lot of the mapping and eventing ...

Ugh, life's RNG hates me, apparently. This has been a rough week in general, you probably know about the Hilstara bug, and I screwed up making multiple versions of 0.5, but now things have gotten worse:
My computer just died.
The game is backed up, and since I wasn't working on it at the time, I won't lose even five minutes of work. The machine was six years old, I knew this would happen eventually. Makes me realize I should probably be more professional about backing up all my data, though.

Starting this next block of the game has been a new experience. For the first three, I was working ahead, which put me awkwardly between two versions. Then the Stineford updates were broad and built on each other, so they weren't exactly normal. This week, though, I started with nothing. No finished maps, conversations, items, anything.
Except my notes, of course.
I have this game planned out in a lot of detail, though there's obviously room for flexibility built in throughout. One of my pet ...

(Links removed - if you haven't downloaded it yet, go look for 0.5.1, which fixes some of the problems listed here.)
Version 0.5.0
- Two major plot quests added: you can now raise enough money to leave Stineford.
- Three major combat sidequests, several minor sidequests.
- Two new sex scenes.
- Enemy healing bug fixed, minor improvements to Stineford.

Okay, had a much better week this time. This is part of why I felt I could commit to monthly updates: that's long enough that the bad periods will be balanced by the good ones. Not usually this good, though, otherwise I probably would have been a week or two late with an update this large. As things stand, I've been highly productive.
Four more areas are basically completed. The interesting thing is that three of those areas combined took up less time than the last. One of the plot events invol...

Wow, this was an ugly week at work. Technically I got a fair bit done since last update, but that was mostly on the weekend. During the week, I finished a map, made some stores, and evented a quest that involves running around Stineford. That's seriously it. -_-
This shouldn't happen regularly, but it won't be the last time. Maybe I should say a bit about my situation. I work full-time and a half, but the full-time job actually isn't bad - it's one of those where I can optimize/automate a lot o...

MAJOR QUESTION TODAY. Definitely a good time for $10 patrons to exercise their ability to vote and provide feedback.
I've been quietly working toward a major revamp of the game. I haven't mentioned it because it may be premature (it still might be), but now is the best time to start asking a few questions. As a bonus for you guys I've included some half-finished art from the new style - comment if you like, but there will be a thread for art feedback later.
