*CRANK CRANK* Status update!

Working hard on the next build(s)!

Fleshing out the northern area of the First Stratum you will fall into after the first act of the game. I'm focusing on the sense of scale and on making it look much wilder than the previous one!

There are already thundering Mana Eels, Harpies, dwarven soldiers, and ... see the ones in pic?

While Kaere used to buy...

...and my Axe! 😼

New DWARF units getting ready for the first Stratum!

Dwarf Crossbowmen and Axemen are ready and will be the main units defending the entrances to the "civilized" part of these maps, while the heavily-armored guys will be located closer to the Fortress' entrance. 

I'm experimenting a lot, I'm pretty sure I can pull off Dota-esque battles between Dwarves and Beastmen, that will be spawning from their own base and try to get their claws on what ...

Catgirl Wardrobe Malfunction

Here's a first look at the set of "exposed" CGs of our precious Neko!

I like to think about these as one of her final chances to relax before her adventure truly starts. As a side note, I'm now devotedly working on the first Stratum of the Hole, and I can't wait to see the game's size double ❤️‍

Smoked Fish goodness

Here's more O-Rin cuteness for you guys! Her place is already pretty and full of cobwebs, we now only need all the new fish to fill her Aquarium with!

Would be nice to have at least 1 event per sister to unlock more CGs... wouldn't it? ...

Exposed Catgirl (3/3 done!)

You've voted for "😼 Neneko exposing herself 😼" in the last poll?

We've promised a revealing CG starring our catgirl?

TOUGH SHIT!

You're getting 3 (!) "revealing CGs starring our catgirl"  instead! HA!

Stratum I - Preview 1 of 100!

Joking (?) regarding the number of previews, but just thinking about everything that I'll fit in here... ooooohooh bbbboy!

The second Aquarium (we're about to add 10 more fishes, exclusive to this deeper stratum), managed by the beautiful O-Rin, is being built near the "entrance" of this second overworld area of NekoHole.
Don't mind the cobwebs, she simply dislikes doing chores.

Two thundering pals, the Mana Eels (⚠️⚠️) and the soon to ...

Fishing Sister O-Rin

Starting to look fishy, the second sister will be living in the Stratum I of the Hole, with everything it entails.

Shorter fuse compared to her little sister, but a girl gotta know how to take care of herself down there!

👀 are winning the poll, huh?

Let's see how the 2nd sister of the fishing ladies would look then!

A very early sketch, but regardless of the winner of the poll we've already in our mind how we'd like her to feel~

O-Megumi is cute!

That being said, the 2nd sister is the flirty one 💋, but there's more...

TIER 1 ✨ [Monsters and Wildlife]

As soon as I've shown the fish tank in the Aquarium...

... people have been asking to do the same for bugs!

I'd place the Terrarium in the next Stratum, the one where the dwarves (and more...) will reside, but while with fish we're focusing on collecting/preserving them, with bugs we could go another way...

Down the Neko Hole v0.12.03

Really happy with this new build, I ended up adding much more than intended!

This girl is so precious~

I'm also starting to test out macOS/Linux builds, but until I get dedicated machines to test them out,  and since I've got no idea of what I'm doing, I'll have to rely on you guys a lot (as usual)!

Fishing Sister O-Megumi

Her sisters left her alone to manage the Aquarium in the Surface Stratum of the Hole, and she'll try her darndest to do it well!

She'll take pictures of your fish!

She'll take care of your fish!

Will Neneko take care of her too? Will our catgirl forget about her little brother and acquire a little sister instead?! Discover it, in v0.12! Soon on your screen!

Fishing Sisters!

Finally back making NPCs!

Time for O-Megumi, the little sister of the family that manages the Fishing Net Aquarium and its counterparts in the lower Strata of the Hole!

The 🎣 update!

What more is coming in the next build?

  • A new building in Eastern End City, the Fishing Net Aquarium
  • A new fish to fish! The Spring Champion can now be found!
  • A new CG! "Neneko by the Lake" from one of the polls!
  • A fish tank to store up to 5 of your cute catches into!
  • Why there's only 4 of them, I'm sure I put 5 Nekofish in there yesterday!
  • Why are you getti...

🕸️Fishy🕸️

Eastern End City is getting a new building and it's cool! Fishing Lady (name TBD) will have her own set of portraits and she has a whole bunch of sisters!

 They'll be waiting for our Neko in the lower levels, and yea, I'm already set on how Mana will change them~


Oh, there's also a whole minigame of fish-collecting that will end with the new CG!

👩🏻‍💼Office Interlude🐾

Soothe your pain with OL Neneko, your very own office catgirl!

Working hard on implementing and refining the new physics in the game, but will likely have time for a new build once the new CG is ready!

"Neneko by the Lake CG" - sketch

The new CG comes with a twist!

It will unlock only if you manage to catch "The Spring Champion"!

Good luck!

NekoHole physics and upgraded Battlesys - III

The whole battle system has been reworked to finely use the events' colliders to check if they get hit or not, but there's more!

Bigger objects can now also climb slopes, if they don't get too steep!

Ignore the fact that I'm using endlessly moving rocks for testing purposes, "sticky" objects or objects that can bounce only a set amount of times are already a thing!

NekoHole physics and upgraded Battlesys - II

Much more to come~

NekoHole physics and upgraded Battlesys

There's so much in this video I don't know where to start, but let's just say I've had a lot of fun and my brain hurts a lot.

There's still refinements to be made, but fights are going to get much more lively soon!

Lingerie Witch Academia

With no words left to describe how much I love our current set of girls, let's celebrate Kaere finally flashing her lingerie in v0.11.01 with this new doodle!

We're taking our time with the first act of NekoHole, willingly the tamest one (talking about monsters, setting, AND adult content here), knowing we'll get to see much more of them in the next ones.

Lewd has to be earned 🍷

Changelog:

Cheers from the Hole 👋🏻

A cute doodle of our favorite maid while I get the next build ready!
Expect:

  • increased performances
  • 8 directions for leaping AND attacking, feels way better now
  • cute maids doing cute things
  • better item descriptions and stat icons

All of this is worth it, during development and in the long run. That being sai...

🩸 Bloody Maids! 🩸

Here it is! Your "🩸Blood Maids feeling each other" CG from last month's poll!

I think there's a lot we can learn from it, but mainly:

  • maids drink a lot of wine
  • we need MORE artworks of background characters
  • our boi Jordi has to stick around for 100+ pieces like these

New icons ⚔️🛡️🍀

Just added new stat icons and reworked how they're shown in Menus too~

I dig the style, even though I'm not 100% I won't do more changes to them in the near future.

Pieces of equipment now also show the stats they provide in a more compact and readable way! I've also added the variance (the "+-" icon) to the description, as it greatly impacts the final stats your weapons ...

Sketched! "🩸 Blood Maids feeling eachother"

As usual, let's begin with sketches!

Cute lesser-vampire maids don't often have time to spare, but when they do... hohoho!
Sneaking up on them will be needed, but just the Neko thing, isn't it?

New title screen and Exploding Kittens!

Here's a little part of what's ready for the new build!

I felt like doing the Exploding Kitten (Danger level: ⚠️) monster from the poll of a few months back and an "environmental" monster, which will likely be used inside the Hole, cos they wacky!

Can't wait for ⛈️thunderbolts and 💣exploding critters to annoy our self-confident Neneko!
