The Allure of Wanton Cove Progress Report

Ended up having more time on my hands today than I had originally expected.  Was pretty pleased by that.

Got right to work this morning and ended up spending about eight hours working on Wanton Cove.  Made some really good progress:

-Drafted a brief outline of both the Azumi Mother storyline, and the island ruins storyline.

-Wrote a new scene that takes place in the park.

-Introduced two new NPCs into the game.  This is their initial meeting without any followu...

The Allure of Wanton Cove Art Breakdown

Today I bring to you another art breakdown!  This time for the bridge scene in the game's primary ending.

This first piece was actually done before I wrote the scene it belonged to.  I had given the artist a brief overview of the scene I had planned and he got to work.

I was really happy with the overall feel of the image, but requested that they add some sag to the bridge .  

The Allure of Wanton Cove WIP Art

Received a new WIP piece of art and thought you guys might enjoy it.

This is probably the next to last version of the bridge scene from the game's primary ending.  I asked the artist to make a couple of small changes, (Adjust the lighting and a couple of small cosmetic things) but I'm really quite happy with the way this one is turning out.  Was particularly impressed by the runework on the pillars.

Inheritance Wallpaper

One of the things I commissioned this month in the art department is  desktop wallpapers.  I'm actually thinking about doing one commission  like this every month if its something that you enjoy.  

If you like this, and want to see more, post a message below, or like the post so I know.

Hope that you all enjoy the wallpaper!

The Allure of Wanton Cove progress report

Been an interesting day today.  

When I went to bed last night, I had every intention of starting my day with bug reports.  Unfortunately, I just couldn't motivate myself to work on them.  Instead, I wrote about 2k words of new content for a new ending to the game (Down the Male path of the primary ending, and only triggers if you have been intimate with Azumi.)  On the grounds that yesterday's Patreon poll fell overwhelmingly in the "Less terrible endings" range, I wrote t...

Wanton Cove progress report and news.

Pets start with the progress report, then I'll start getting into the plan going forward.

Sat down to start working on bug reports this evening:

-I ran down and hopefully resolved an issue where Mr Morichi was not recognizing you during the game's primary ending (Had thought I simply failed to write it when I originally wrote the endgame, but when I went poking around I found it already written but simply not triggering correctly.  

-Went looking for another issue w...

Inheritance A6TEST Take Two

Not a lot changed here.  Biggest thing was the sleep bug where the game was throwing an error when you tried to go to bed.  That should work now.  Next worst problem was a grammar issue in the intro that I corrected.

Enjoy!  If nothing more is reported on this front, then this will be the build I release at the end of this week.

Wanton Cove's Ending (Potential spoilers)

The Allure of Wanton Cove has always been intended as a dark story, intended to get inside your head and and fester until the oppressive feeling of the setting feels lived in and natural, then to broadside the reader with an ending intended to shock the reader in spite of all the terrible things they have experienced within the setting along the way.

These last few days since the most recent release of the game, I have received many messages, most of which range from solemn approval to outrigh...

Inheritance WIP Art (4 Pieces!)

Crawled out of bed this morning, padded my way to the kitchen for something caffeinated, then sat down at my computer this morning.  When I brought my email up to start wading through the inevitable mountain of fan mail, messages, and junk mail I was only a little surprised to see a message from one of our Inheritance artists.  Clicking on the message brought forth a pleasant surprise.

The artist submitted four sketches for approval.  I asked for a small adjustment to two of the...

General Progress Report

Since today wasn't supposed to be a work day, I hadn't really planned to make a report this evening.

But sometimes things change.  ;)

I received a bug report related to Inheritance maybe three hours ago.  It was something fairly minor (Forgot to properly tag a piece of content so the game was having trouble finding it during play) and only took a few seconds to chance once I knew where to look.  

Since I was already poking around inside of the game, I then happened u...

Inheritance TEST Build

Got a new test build ready to go.  Feel free to poke around to your heart's content.  

This build includes conversations for Eve, Punishments for Eve (And punishments have been added to appropriate interactive scenes), and two new interactive scenes for Eve (One takes place in most rooms of the house during work ours. 6am-8pm.  One takes place in the Library in the evenings. 8-10pm)  Build also includes some updated art.

Hope that you all enjoy the new buil...

The Allure of Wanton Cove WIP art!

Received this piece earlier today.  Wanted to share it with you all!

For those of you playing through the 1.0 build of Wanton Cove right now, you'll recognize this scene from the game's primary ending.

This version still needs a lot of detail work and will include a heavy fog effect, but this is a base colors version that was sent to me for approval.  Completed version will appear in the game upon completion.

The Allure of Wanton Cove 1.0 Public

 Its been a very long road these last three years (Actually, its been a  little more than that now) and it has been a true joy to have all of you  along for the journey.

Wanton Cove started with a simple conversation.  I asked what people would like to see for a game from me, and an erotic horror game came up in conversation.  At the time, I thought to myself, "Eh, why not?" and in the coming days the setting took form and increasingly became an obsession that demanded...

And there was much rejoicing!

Happy days!  

I'll start with the personal first, then get into progress:

After the computer problems the other day, I had feared some of my content had been lost.  I can happily say that thanks to one of our patrons (You know who you are, and you're awesome!) sending me a HD Dock, I once again have access to the content I had feared was lost.    Words can not express how much relief I feel right now.

Progress on the Inheritance front!  Fini...

General Progress Report

Its official!  I'm back up to speed on this end!  TME took the time to walk me through the tweego setup again (God bless his soul, he walked me all the way through it, THEN showed me the guide where I could have done it myself.  :P ) and we got everything synchronized with bitbucket again.  For all intents and purposes, I'm fully back to a point where I can work normally without having to wonder where anything is.  Only loose end on the work front I have left is that I n...

Also, let me know if there are other Inheritance scenes you'd like to see done as wallpapers, I'll start compiling a list of images we'd like to have done.

Getting back up to speed.

Been an interesting day today.

As I mentioned earlier, I started my day out by acquiring a new computer and setting it up.  Since then, I've managed to get logged back into my work related sites, retrieved all of the work related content except for what was done in the previous day, answered two days worth of messages, and worked through the Wanton Cove bug fixes I had done the precious day.  That was my goal for today.

I also did the ground work to get Inheritance back up and ...

General Progress Report:

Alright, I posted something over on our Discord server yesterday, but I'm guessing that the bulk of you haven't heard about what's been going on.  I'll give the short version here:

Yesterday morning, my computer froze, then it refused to work after that.  Basically, it would power up but not load far enough to even run a system restore.  I spent all day trying to find a solution and came up short, and none of the local computer repair shops could work on it for about another wee...

Inheritance Art Breakdown

Today I have for you another piece of Inheritance art.

This image is one of my favorites for the game thus far.  This piece is from the first night during the intro, where you tell her that if you have sex with her it should be because you both want it, not because she feels she has to.

I think the image captures an amazing range of emotion.  The protagonist is clearly trying to be kind and affectionate.  At the same time Anna's uncertainty comes thro...

The Allure of Wanton Cove progress report.

Around what feels like countless hours working on this "paper doll" system behind the scenes here (Dear God this is a ton of work to organize.  At least on the up side once this first bundle of content is created, future commissions for this will be MUCH easier to arrange.)

Now on to the Wanton Cove front:

Probably two hours of work in total, all trying to run down bugs and small errors.  Cleaned up most of the list but have a couple of lingering issues I had to ask ...

General Update:

So, this last week I put out feelers about our planned paper doll system for art.  I received a LOT of replies ranging from reasonable to just plain insane, almost all of which came from artists who are incredibly talented.

I'm talking with a couple of other people involved with the project, and have the group down to three possible artists.  I've probably spent 10 hours or more talking with the artists who were interested in the project over the last few days as well.  Needless...

Inheritance Art Breakdown

Got another art breakdown for all of you.

This first image was the sketch I received.  It is for the scene where Eve has just come down the stairs during the intro and Anna is trying to shield her from you and you just said that she is pretty.   I liked it and gave the artist the green light to continue.

The second image is with the flat colors applied.

Any aspiring artists among us?

Not sure if anyone around here would be interested or not, but I figured "Who better to create art for Inheritance than someone who already loves the game?" so I'm posting a little something here.

A little bit ago, I posted something to Hentai-Foundry seeking one or more artists to work on the Paper Doll system we want to create (While it will most likely first see use in Inheritance, we actually hope to use it in all of our projects.)

If anyone among our fans is an...

The Allure of Wanton Cove 1.0 TEST

This has been a very long time in coming.  After more than three years of development, 1.9 Million characters, 334,000 words, and more hours than I could ever hope to count,  we finally get to discover how our tale ends!

I request that all of you PLEASE not share spoilers with everyone else until such a time as when the build is released publicly.

This new build includes 14k words of n...

Nothing a little therapy can't fix.

The last week, the last two days especially, have been INTENSE.  I've written stuff that left me lying awake in bed last night, things that give me goosebumps, and things that may well haunt the darkest places within me for a life time.

After posting progress last night, I actually waded back into Wanton Cove and continued to work for a couple more hours.  In all, I spent something around 11 hours writing and coding.  Today, I got up and started right in where I had left off, an...

Inheritance: Art Breakdown

Been telling you guys about art for a few days now, and decided that it was past time I delivered on that.

This first one is the mansion Pantry:

This first picture was a sample sketch, a little on the simple side, but then again the room is a bit simple in its own right.  Looked good for what we had planned for the scene so I gave the artist the green light to continue.

Been a very busy day in Wanton Cove.

Last night, I spent about an hour working on Inheritance.  I did up the initial set of punishments for Eve but still need to plug them into the game (Shouldn't take more than a few minutes.)  I kind of felt bad writing those pieces on the grounds that Eve does not react to the punishments as well as her sister and I kept feeling bad for her.  On the up side though, it put me in a gloomy mood that remained into today.  Dark and broody works well when writing for Wanton Cove. 2018-01-10 23:06:32 +0000 UTC View Post

Inheritance WIP Teaser

Received a sketch for something I commissioned.  Thought you guys would enjoy it.  

The room has been ok'd and I've asked that the largest of the sketches be developed into the pose in that room.

Going to have this one done at the correct size to use as a wallpaper on people's desktop.
