Patreon build v0.2.1.0 Mu's lair

Greetings, my adorable players~ Welcome to the first of the monthly updates, there is a lot to cover, so I will be brief. The entire graveyard got a rework, expanding it significantly, and replacing the random encounters with walking enemies. Each of the enemy types now has an additional dynamic combat fight, that triggers after all story fights are complete. A mountain of enemy-specific options has been added to...

Spoilers for the 28th of March 2022

Greetings, my lovely Patreons~

Next week, on Monday the 4th, v0.2.1.0 will be released. The remaining content that was/will be added centers around Mu the Drainfly, her nest, and the Arachnids she battles for supremacy of the vents. I spend time adding some new maps to the apartment complex, together with some quests to guide the progress.  It will also feature the Arachnid landlady who lives at the penthouse atop the highest floor, whom does not like people rummaging through her n...

Spoilers for the 21th of March

Greetings, my adorable Patreons~

This week I was away from home (I was feeding my parents' cats while they were away), meaning I didn't have my usual setup. I wasn't able to work on more art pieces, so a lot of programming work got done instead.

This week I added an enchantment system, allowing the already existing items to come with various stat increases.  Enchanted equipment will have a chance to drop from high difficulty encounters, rare chests, and bosses. With this...

Spoilers for the 14th of March 2022

Greetings, my adorable Patreons~

Since we are now on the monthly release schedule, I bring you the weekly spoilers on the Mondays in-between.

This week saw a rework of the Graveyard map, converting all the random encounters into moving enemies on the map. Each of them (Flutty, Mu, Male slime, Female slime) now also have dynamic combat fights, which will trigger if all their regular fights have been won. Additionally, the map has been expanded, an enemy respawn mechanic has been ad...

Update v0.2.0.0 Cuddle Fight

Greetings, my most adorable players~ This week, I got a big update for you, a new dynamic combat/sex system! The new fight type is based on dynamic interactions, making it more sensible as a repeat encounter type. You can try out the first of this new fight type in the apartment complex, together with the new walking enemy type. Next update there will be a bunch more fights added, so look forward to those.

...

Weekly spoilers - work, work, work!

Greetings, you adorable floofballs~ Right now, I am hard at work trying to get the next update shipped in time. Things are going well, but it is still a f-ckton of work, so I will be short in this week's spoiler section.

From next month onward, spoilers will be moved to the Mondays where there are no update releases, and they will no longer happen 'somewhere in the middle of the week'. Only the Wood sprite will have a fight next week, functioning as a tutorial to the sy...

Patreon build v0.24.0: Creaking Internals

Next week, we will switch to the monthly release schedule, During that update, I want to release something big. For this reason, I started on the simulated sex/combat system, which will be used to create more diverse encounters. Because of the more dynamic nature of these new systems, more interactions with skills, stats, and items w...

Midweek spoilers - Simulated combat and horrors

Am I going to use part of my time this week to make my audience @#%^$ a sentient tree-stump? Yes, and you can't stop me.

But first, significantly less interesting things. In two weeks we will be switching over to monthly releases, and I want to release something big once we do so. Namely, the simulated combat system. 

Simulated combat: TLDR: Add a second encounter type that revolve...

Patreon update v0.23.0: Drunk Kobolds

Greetings everyone, this week adds a new character, Rustsock the Thief. You can find him, his friends, and his introductory quest in the new alleyway of Harpydus...

Weekly spoilers - Kobold nonsense

Greetings, my adorable patrons~ This week I bring you a weird assortment of stuff. Some content, some UI improvements, and some new systems!

Content

This update will add the Prompt poll content 'Get drunk with a gaggle of male Kobolds'. Rustsock and his compatriots will be inside a new alley in Harpydust residential, where they scour the place for scrap and shinies.

UI

This week I got sick of waiting for the Undum scol...

Patreon build v0.22.0: Mapping Nudibranchs

Greetings, my dear players. This week I bring you... game-engine maintenance! Queue audio track of overeager cheering. A long stretch of hard work on my part, that hopefully results in nothing outwardly having changed. Exciting stuff!

All kidding aside, it isn't the fun kind of update, but the mapping engine was due for an update. I was still hand-placing every tile on the map in code, which was be...

Midweek spoilers: Nudibranchs

Friday- evening- need- to- make- post! Spend- entire- week- making- boring- map- code- Aaaaaarggg!

At this point I have converted all the maps, redid some of the inventory code, added item categories, and now I really want a big sleep~ All planned work for this week is at least done, but it ain't very interesting to show. Here, have some Nuby the Nudibranch instead. 

Love,

Nranchs

The results are as follows:

(There is a slight error in the graphic, there were no old votes)

One vote was cast this month, so by an overwhelming 100% unanimous agreement :P, 'Get drunk with a gaggle of male Kobolds' wins!

Update v0.21.0: Dyed in Alabaster

Greetings my adorable players, this week I bring you systems. Specifically, a fluid system allowing the player to become covered with the various substances one might encounter while cuddling monsters for too long. This means, that after 20 updates from adding them in, the showers now finally work. Yay! To be honest, there were far more important things to be developed in-between, but still, probably shouldn't ha...

Upcoming release schedule changes

Greetings, my adorable Patrons, and equally lovely visitors (I made this post public because it contains relevant information for non-Patrons). In about a month, there will be an 8-week release difference between the Patron and Public builds, meaning there will be a change in the release schedule, as promised.

Monthly releases:

As you might have noticed in the last few updates, I have been working on a lot of engine stuff that does not neatly fit into small weekly...

Patreon build v0.20.0: Honey Covered Bees

Greetings, you adorable floofball! This week, the game has switched to a dark theme, and all the UI looks different now. Was this planned? No, I just got sick of looking at the fugly Undum default textures, so I ended up replacing everything while procrastinating~ I also added more icons, mainly for quests and to some of the skill checks. Will this be the last of the UI changes? No, there are some small tweaks in ...

Weekly spoilers - UI, Bees, and Planning

Greetings, my adorable Patrons~ This week I replaced the stock Undum textures with something custom. It ain't perfect, but I am quite happy with the progress. The UI no longer looks quite so unfinished and empty.

Rozzedew the Hiveling's encounter has largely been coded, and I am in the middle of writing all of it. There is little to say here except for: it will be done by Monday.

Below you will find the general planning for the coming period. With the graveyard done, there might b...

Patreon build v0.19.0: Screeching Swarm

Greetings everyone, it is finally time to wrap up the Graveyard and add the Bossfight with Primilla! This completes the [The Sleeping servant] quest, and adds a new NPC to Rogschard's throne room once you are done. This week also add a bunch of additional icons dealing with stats and other character stuff. There is some more icon stuff to be done, but this wave of UI improvements is almost finished.

I am ti...

Weekly spoilers - Bees and Bats

Greetings my adorable Patrons, it appears this week is already halfway done. Time flies when there is much to do.

Currently, I am writing the outro scenes to the bossfight, after that, there is a small some character work and quest completion stuff to do, and then the fight will finally be ready for release. Along with some other tweaks, about 50 additional icons have been added this week, dealing with species, base stats, ailments, and pregnancies. 

This will wrap up the Gra...

Patreon build v0.18.0: Sleeping Destiny

Greetings you adorable floofball. Work on the bossfight was slow this week, my boostershot made me feel like somebody was trying to smash my head with a hammer. Needless to say, those are not optimal writing conditions, but at least the framing for the first phase of combat was finished.

Instead, I spend my time formatting countless icons in order to start adding images to... well, everything. Items now got...

Midweek icons, bats, and spoilers

Greetings my adorable Patrons, I got my booster shot 2 days ago, and ever since I have had quite the headache. But the show must go on! 

The first part of the writing for the boss fight is done, but I can't ship it till it's all finished. Instead, a large helping of UI improvements will make their way in this week. Careful readers of the previous patch notes will have noticed that last week's update contained 'improvements to icon loading'. Loading tiny images one by one on a webpa...

Patreon build v0.17.0: Cats and Wolves

Greetings, my most adorable players. After a couple of weeks of writing scenes for female characters, and with a female boss coming up, I thought I would give two of the male characters some love. Flutty can now be found at Roughpoof apparel if you finished all of his fights, and there is a new adult scene with him and Howlamir. Also, both of them can now put a bun in your oven, if you get the right fluids in the...

Minor tier changes, and bossfight spoilers

Greeting, my delightful patrons~

Firstly, some Patreon related housekeeping:

The 2€ and 50€ tiers have been dropped, simplifying the tiers to the base 3, and axing the unneeded clutter (Nobody was using them anyway). The 2€ provided nothing of value, and it feels kinda nasty to ask for the 50€. If a person has that much change lying around, I would prefer they handed it to a charity than to me.

Back to the spoilers:

Above you w...

December prompt poll tally

Greetings, my adorable Moths and Weredogs, so its time to tally the votes!

The results are as follows:

Those with keep eyes might notice that one of the two votes cast this month is missing. You are correct, I missclicked while setting things up and cast an accidental vote myself, so I removed that one. With that, 'Suckling honey with cute bee boys' wins.
