"Do this for me, and I’ll get your back in return~"

Here's the first pinup piece we're working on! Just a few more days~

TIER 2 ✨ [NPCs and Cities]

The Forge Fortress will be the focus of Stratum I, not even remotely the only place where shit will happen, but I plan to work on it a lot (being a die-hard fan of Dwarf Fortress, I've been waiting for this).

Dwarves will have enemies, seeking to penetrate their fortress and get their claws on their riches, coming from all around the Stratum and your help (or neglect) will chan...

TIER 1 ✨ [Monsters and Wildlife]

Here's last month's Mana Eel (Danger level: ⚠️⚠️), it will appear in Stratum I only during rainy days. For good reason.

They ZAP!

And oh-so-fun we now have ZAPPING materials, which propagate the ZAP! when...

Flats of Ruin(a)

I would like to promise the Queen under the mountain won't get mad after being exposed too much to a huge stone of Mana she's obsessed with.

But

"The Hips under the Mountain"

Getting the one sitting on the Forge Fortress' throne ready! She'll get concept art before the portraits get worked on, that's how serious we are about the lady!

Bat x Cat - Colors 🎨

"Vampires in Nekohole don't suck blood..."

🔨Lift Warden Emma🐃

Shit's getting real. Her scene, and the end of Act I is already being worked on!

We're also getting pinup illustrations to go with SFW (or softcore NSFW) scenes in the game! The first one will be worked on right after this sleepy buffalo's portraits!

🐃Emma, the Gatekeeper🐃

Also called "that one boss you weren't supposed to meet yet"

Sleepy boss of the Abyss Lift, very much willing to squish a Neko and get back to sleep! Things won't play out as she wanted this time... maybe.

🦇 Vampire Underwear 🎁

Sexy and doesn't get in wings' way!

Lady Anzu's closet is full of this stuff. Trust me, I was in there.

🎁New Portraits 🎁

Finally the new additions to the game have their own portraits, and everything's good.

We're currently working on the Lift's Boss, and you should be excited about it 😴🔨

🧛‍♀️The Batpants🩲

Or "what Neneko will find in the vampire's dresser".

I'd love them all, but in this case, we'll go with either 2 or 4! Another bunch of portraits is coming, so many I'm considering another build before 0.7.

Will keep you tuned!

Survival guide in the Hole: Bear Mom chapter

⚠️🐻⚠️

Remember boys and girls, when you see a bear mom flexing her muscles, you've got to pay attention to her body language too!

⚠️🐻⚠️

✅ If she's showing off, you're probably safe, regardless of the size of her guns!
She probably just wants to hug you and make you feel safe.

If she doesn't move much and doesn't show off her biceps, you're in trouble!
Be a good cub and say "sorry" for whatever trouble you've cause...

Mother Bear🐻

THIS:

"Nou looking at her cub"

NEXT:

"Nou looking at someone bullying her cub"


Finally time to show off her big guns 💪

Firstest ever look at Stratum I

EXTRA RAW

But it's the best stage of development~

So much is being prepared for this place(s), the sense of adventure and scale of the game will hit as soon as you step down here!

  • Huge dwarven fortress
  • Bandits
  • Sieges
  • Mounts
  • Nekos

Yep, it's based.

Anzu/Neneko CGs - 🦇 Sketch 🐈

It's the cat and the bat together in the same room, doing what they do best!

Being awesome, that is.

CG artist is back from (forewarned) pause, and will resume doing what he does best!

Being awesome, that is.


Life's good, now I can focus on dorfs.

Nou is looking like the awesome mother bear we expected her to be, imagine if she ever gets NSFW content... IMAGINE!

The Nekolous Progress post

Let's keep our Neko Patrons updated about their requests' progress, while also making sure I'm not forgetting about anything!

Now in technicolor!

🔴 Yet to be worked on

Make sure to pester me if you find me leaving stuff behind. I'm currently giving all my attention to making Stratum I something unforgettable, but it will take time!

TIER 2 ✨ [NPCs and Cities]

I've been itching for working on it!

The Forge Fortress, led by the fearsome dwarf Ruina will be the main inhabited place of Stratum I, so let's start embellishing it!

Excavated into the walls of the Hole, it's a place of magma, forges, and machinery, but there's still something I've yet to decide.

The living area, separate from the digging one, will be circularly shaped and divided into circles.

TIER 1 ✨ [Monsters and Wildlife]

Let's get deeper.

The Stratum I needs monsters, and they'll gradually get weirder and more unpredictable as Mana will influence them and their habitat.

Stratum I to III:

  • monsters will stray from nature
  • humanoids will get closer to nature

Further down:

  • humanoids will get closer to monsters

 Further down:

  • monster and humanoids will ???

DTNH - Battle Theme (extended cut) 🎶

Our handmade OST starts to expand! It will be treated as seriously as the NSFW / art / gameplay, that much I can guarantee!

This is the extended version of the battle theme, the cut one will be used instead for battles that start suddenly.

Let's get sketchin'! Mama Bear edition 🐻

Nou's finally getting all sketched up!
We're going to run out of ink on her, this 🐻bear's sizes are no joke.

⛰️The Neko must go to the Mountain🐈

I've now begun sculpting manually the 2nd Stratum of NekoHole, but expect a lot of stuff being sent your way before that's ready!

Lina's getting added right now and will introduce the player to the wonders of STEAM, PIPES, and MANA! The short redhead loves that stuff!
Nou's portraits are now on the plate, so expect the forge to open next week, at the latest!

Here's the [Dwarf] Young Engineer with a thing for steam that won one of the latest NPC polls!

What? Reminds you of someone from Princess & Conquest? Nonsense!

🌋DWARVES ⛏️

Here we go, let's talk races!

I've been blinded by how "Dungeon Meshi"/"Delicious in Dungeon" deals with different races (seriously, buy and/or read that manga), we're going to go at it ...

DORFS! and DORFETTES!

Dwarves are coming as they're the main race that inhabit the first Stratum of the Hole!
Expect great things from these tiny, sturdy gals!

I'll post more dwarf doodles tomorrow, stay tuned!

Don't worry, I'm preparing a meaty release for April! Gotchu covered, kittens!

🐾Bear Skin forge🐾

Nou's Forge, the Bear Skin is coming real soon, together with her intro scene and the needed smithing mechanics, that will be (for now) used to improve your weapons and armors in exchange for Splinters and Shards you can obtain by digging and looting monsters!

Let's fucking go!

The concept artist was busy with Anemone this week, but I'm looking forward to

 [Dwarf] Young Engineer with a thing for steam 🥽

that won the last poll! We're planning out traits and features to give the different races inhabiting the Hole so that the differences between NPCs of the same race can be used to tell them apart easily.

We're taking notes from Dungeon Meshi, which deals with the different races in it beautifully 👌
