CG scene Sketch #3!

"What's happening here?!"

Told you, anything may happen in the Hole to our very special Neko. Such changes won't be permanent on her though, she's got something special warding her from succumbing to the Hole's power.

Title: "Protagonist loses all her upgrades at the beginning of the game".

CG scene Sketch #2!

My my what is going on~?

Paths will start branching since the prologue, I'll make sure these CG scenes will be challenging to obtain and reward the player for its efforts!

Title: Cursed girls at eachother's "troath".

CG scene Sketch #1!

Prologue/ACT 1 of the game will need to show what we're aiming for with this project!

That's why we won't hold back with CG scenes, expect a lot already in the first build of the game!

Title: Cat blowing off steam on her (brother's) bed!

October Poll!

We've got a ๐Ÿˆโ€, a ๐Ÿธ and a ๐Ÿฆ‡.

We're already working on something extra and on ๐Ÿฎ  next!

What's after that, though?! Your turn to pick!

Anzu the Bat๐Ÿฆ‡ - Concept #4

Time for Anzu to get some clean lines! Renders time now!

And to get her a damn couch!

NekoHole: the Minish Cat

Had fun testing out differently scaled and wilder biomes today~

There'll be a lot of weird stuff you can't be prepared to in the Hole, including the "cute" inhabitants you'll find hidden right below your paws!

Anzu the Bat๐Ÿฆ‡ - Concept #3

Getting batter and batter!

I feel like this pose nails down her character much better~

Anzu the Bat๐Ÿฆ‡ - Concept #2

Moving closer to the final product here! (except I'm having this one's pose being changed. )

She'll feel pretty down as a human on the Hole's surface, also the reason why she stays cooped in her Blood Mansion~

"I can't wait to **** the smug off her face"

New girl! New girl!

Time for the 3rd girl we're working on!

The rich aristocrat, born in the Hole and sent back on surface to watch over things!

Will she be willing to share what she knows regarding the dangers you'll face inside it? Probably not.

Will she look fine as heck while being a wacko to the core? Probably yes.

Comfy Times

Sometimes it's good to stop and watch what we've achieved.

I'm completely in love with End City's views and (while it requires more processing power to not affect the framerate), dynamic shadows add to it!

Oh, and wind... the wind! I'm working on it right now. Being in a valley, surrounded by mountains, End City ain't got much natural wind to begin with. But sometimes currents start to flow up from the Hole...

New Character - Kaere ๐Ÿธ

Time for the young "witch" to hop into the Hole will come~

Will she survive in the Hole long enough to reach the 4th Stratum? That's where mana is thick enough to influence life and death

New Character - Kaere ๐Ÿง™โ€โ™€๏ธ

Final renders of our lovely new girl!

She's an outcast living outside End City, trying her best to channel the energy (Mana) that escapes from the Hole in order to... ...

In any case, Mana isn't as easy to manipulate as you'd expect and the surface hasn't got much Mana to begin with, that's why she's trying to get the most of it by using cursed items (Relics), like her ankle-guards.

Yes, her staff is just a ...

End City - Blood Manor

The  Blood Manor is one of the new areas I'm working on, the grandest building and surely the weirdest one in the (superficially) tame End City.

The wacko living in there has been appointed with the highest authority in the whole End City, and almost certainly has something to do with your lil' bro disappearance, so this will be an area you'll get to visit since the game's prologue, before the Adventure sets in motion!

3D-Mansional Leaps

Lots to test out with platforms, lights and day/night cycles~

While solving quests by doing what you're told IS possible, you can just be an asshole and do it as a cat would!

The platforming still needs some work, right now fighting on small platforms equals to suicide, but I know it just needs more hours spent on it  ๐Ÿ’ช 

Wonky platforming is a no-no! I'd rather have no platforming at all if that were the case.

The Frog Witch's Project ๐Ÿธ - Concept #2

Some of the ones we'll discard now will make their way into the game as costumes though~

"Explorers" and our Patreon campaign

Felt like giving more informations about future plans and how our funding campaign will play out!

INCREASING REWARDS AND TIERS TO DISCOVER 

Being the game about diving into an endless pit, the Hole, I figured it would be fun to also have this campaign follow that formula~

It's a ... BATfight!

Because what's a game without bats to kill!

Battle System at work and the on-screen portrait reacting to what's happening to our beloved catgirl.

I plan to have a lot of dynamic changes to it for leaps, attacks done and taken, lewd events and more!

Here's more concept for new poses! 

We want to make sure we get her "feel" right before moving to portraits and characters!

Hop, skip and a jump!

Here's our adorable cat dancing around one of the starting areas, showing her moves!

You can already tell that fighting carelessly close to edges with her may be a bad idea.

This video shows:

  • Neneko normally jumps 2 tiles away
  • Running while jumping increases it to 3
  • There's a short stun after falling from high places
  • Colored lights~
  • (Not scripted) The engine detects which objects is in range of Neneko's attacks and r...

Main Menu WIP!

Here's a work in progress of the main menu!

Tidy and functional, just like a ๐Ÿˆโ€!
I should be able to freely change the background depending on the location the player's in and I've still got to settle on the right portrait size, but this feels nice~

Strength of a Neko!

Simple video showing our powerful catgirl turning an item she normally couldn't without some steroids we've equipped her~
