What should I work on the last half of this week?

We skipped the poll last week since I wasn't sure if I would have much time on my hands or not.  Turns out that I did, and that extra time was spent working on Inheritance in the hopes of continuing to flesh out that setting.

Previous results (Carryover from previous weeks.  Poll items add all previous results to their number until they win a poll, then return to 0 for the following poll.):

The Allure of Wanton Cove: 0 (Previous winner.)

Inheritance: 59

Inheritance A3 TEST

Before I left for the long weekend, I dropped you guys a new test build.  Nothing significant was reported (One small bug and a spelling error) and I was able to fix them easily over the weekend.

This morning, I added some of the existing scenes to a few new places in the house to hopefully make them a little easier to find, plus I ADDED A NEW INTERACTIVE SCENE that appears during the day in most of the same places that the other scenes appear.

Enjoy the new build.  ...

I'm back!

I'm back!  After a long weekend that was both physically and emotionally draning, I am thankful to be home!

So, I figure you guys would like to know what all I was up to over the weekend?

Thursday:  

-I actually managed about four hours of work time on Thursday!  

-I started out by fixing a couple of really simple bugs that were reported for the latest test build of Inheritance before I left for the weekend.  

-Once d...

The Allure of Wanton Cove .97 Public

Its a bit early on the grounds that I'll be gone much of the holiday weekend, but I've got a new build of Wanton Cove for everyone!

"You're a washed up ex-detective, living your life one bottle at a  time when your old partner and estranged friend comes knocking.  His son  has gone missing, the police wont pursue the case, and he's run out of  leads, so he comes lo...

Happy Thanksgiving!

This is a time of year for reflection.  When we look back at all the good times we have experienced over the last year, where we are thankful for having persevered through the bad times we have experience.  We look around us and see our family and friends, the people we love, and we take a moment to appreciate the fact that we have people like that in our lives.  And sometimes we look back, thankful for the time we had with those who are no longer with us, feeling that bittersweet...

Inheritance A3 TEST

TEST build comes early this week  Even so, its a rather substantial update.

Added:

Sex:

-Can initiate sex at any time if you summon Anna to the master bedroom.

-If Anna shares a bed with you, you can initiate sex when you go to bed with her. (Different intros for sex this way.)

-Oral sex!

-Missionary style sex!

-Doggystyle sex!

-Sex scenes can play out drastically different depending on your current relationship status.  At each le...

Inheritance Progress Report:

Looks like I have some progress worth reporting this morning!

Last night, a friend sent me a short bug report (Mostly it was just observations and thoughts, but there was a bug involved.)  It was an easy fix related to the sex system.  Basically when I was duplicating some code, I forgot to change the targets and whenever you tried to give her an oral cumshot, it shifted you to missionary position.  :P

This morning, I found a couple of hours to work on things.  I told...

Inheritance progress report

Its been a short week, but a productive one.

Last night, I settled back in to do a bit of writing.  Wrote two smallish scenes for meal times bringing us up to a total of 12 meal scenes (Two with the girls, two without, for each of the meal times).

Today, I received a fix for what I messed up with the sex scene stuff (Was just a typo in the code, easy fix).  The coder who found it also programmed a new function that will display a message to help with fixing problems rather than...

Four hours of coding later, . . .

Worked on the sex scenes today.  Took me just a smidgen over four hours of coding, but everything is now in place, . . . now I just need to test it to find all the neat new ways I've found to break the game.  :P

Sent copies to our coders and asked them to take a look at my work if they have time.  Otherwise I should have a little time to test play it this evening.  With the work I ...

Plan for this week

With Thanksgiving upon us (For those of us who celebrate it) I'll be spending the last half of this week with my in-laws and without internet.  As such, you will be unreachable starting Thursday morning through either Saturday or Sunday.

Today and tomorrow will be focused on adding the sex and meal time content to the game.  If I can complete those two at minimum, I will post a test build for testers before leaving for my trip.  If all goes well, I'll have all the code in place ...

Inheritance WIP Sketch take two:

Just received an updated sketch from the artist I commissioned a piece from this last week.  Got a lot more detail going for it than the previous one.  This is basically a "Family Portrait" style piece based off of the feel she got for the characters in the game.

I hope that all of you enjoy this as well as I do!

I offered to cross advertise a little bit with the artist. &nb...

Back home!

I'm back home!

Got about 30 messages and emails to wade my way through, but at least I'm home again.  

Last night was a little more productive than I had expected it to be.  Wrote about 1k words of content related to meal times as well as doing a bit of work with the code for that area of the game.  Probably a little over an hours work in total.

Not a lot of time to post rig...

Weekend

Since I don't know how much time I will have come morning, I wanted to get one last post in tonight so everyone has a pretty good idea what is going on.

Time permitting, I plan to check in come morning, but odds are this will be to reply to messages and the such and not to make any post.

If there are any further bug reports related to Inheritance or related to the new test build of Wanton Cove, then I'll make note of them on my computer so I have all the information I need to work on the...

Inheritance WIP Art Commission

So, an artist I know has finally started going commission work, so I thought I'd show her a little bit of support and get a piece of art for you guys at the same time.  

I told her that I wanted to do kind of a family portrait/painting style image, gave her a copy of the game, then gave her quite a bit of freedom in how the rest of it was put together.

This is a first sketch for the image, ...

The Allure of Wanton Cove .97 TEST Build

Got a new test build for all of you.  Hope that you all enjoy the new content, and if you see anything that doesn't seem to work quite right, please report it so I can get it fixed.

-Added four new pieces of art to the game, along with two revisions of existing pieces.

-Added a new scene for Mr Morichi on day 9.

-Added a new scene for Vick on day 9 (Followup from Mr Morichi scene mentioned above.)

-Updated conversation for Mr Morichi. (After loosing Tome)

Inheritance A2a CHEAT Build

Got a fix build for all of you.  Well, one fix and one improvement.


Fixed:  There was an issue with the clock.  Nothing game breaking, but it was displaying the wrong days of the week at times.  This has been fixed.
Improvement:  Increased the frequency of most of the interactive scenes in the game, this should make them appear more frequently for those of you who are looking for them.

Its turning into one of those evenings, . . . . 

Patreon decided to do their "Scheduled Maintenance" right as I was finishing up the rollout of this evening's Inheritance build.  (Its a shame that they never let us creators in on these "Scheduled" events)  That got me fairly flustered since I had just finished posting everywhere and then people were getting dead links because of it, . . .

The next couple weeks, and Christmas.

Wanted to give you guys some fair warning on what is coming over the holidays.  

Got some family stuff going on this weekend.  Not sure yet how that will affect my ability to work on things, but given that I don't usually work the weekends, it shouldn't be too big of a deal.  Worst case scenario is that I'm just unresponsive for a couple of days.

Next Weekend.  This is going to be the bad one.  Thursday, I'll be leaving to spend time with the in-laws. ...

Direction of Wanton Cove

Since we are nearing the end of the main narrative of The Allure of Wanton Cove, I thought I'd give you guys a little peak into what is still planned for the setting, as well as give all of you a say in what comes next.

The poll lists the things I would still like to do with the setting once the main story is complete.  Some of them are small items that will resolve themselves in just a few scenes, others will be considerably more substantial.  

Some brief informatio...

Wanton Cove Progress Report:

Been a really good day today so far.  Finished up the event chain I started this week.  I have two small items to deal with for the next build yet, but I've effectively got everything I wanted for the next build complete now. (Looks like Wanton Cove is winning this week's poll for what I should work on though, so I'll be continuing my work on Wanton Cove going into tomorrow.)

Broke the 300k word mark today, pushing us all the way up to 303k.  To give you some idea of how much co...

Bit of a lazy day (At least I admit it, right?)

Got up this morning, cleaned house, started a nice lunch, then had my friend stand me up.   Felt pretty unmotivated by that point, so I ended up spending a coupe of hours playing Fallout 4 rather than do anything productive.

This afternoon, I started getting the itch to work on things again though.  I spent about an hour plugging away at little things since time this afternoon was a little limited.

This evening, I hope to get a little writing done, but I'm not expecting to...

General Update

Had a fairly productive morning, but after this morning's work, today turned into a bit of a lazy day.  Ended up exchanging some work related messages (Got two different places I'm talking with about doing a possible promotion for The Allure of Wanton Cove and/or Inheritance) but otherwise spent most of the afternoon with my nose in a book.

I have a friend who mentioned wanting to come over tomorrow.  If that happens, I won't be getting a lot done tomorrow.  That said, he talks ...

The Allure of Wanton Cove Progress Report

Got to work on this last night for a little bit, then jumped back into it this morning.  

-Last night, I dropped four new pieces of art into the game, along with two small revision pieces.  

-Last night, wrote one smallish scene for what is going to be a short scene chain going into this next build.

-This morning, wrote up two more of the scenes in the above mentioned chain of scenes.

That leaves me three more small scenes, plus the need to update the cas...

What should I spend my extra time this week working on?

With another week behind us, I'm starting to look forward once more.    Last week, while chaotic, was a productive week invested exclusively into Inheritance (And we've got a really great update coming late this week!) its time turn our attention once more towards what comes next.

This week, I'll be starting with a heavy focus on The Allure of Wanton Cove.  My initial goals for this week will be to write one more key scene for Wanton Cove, add a little more minor content (L...

Inheritance A2i TEST Build

Ok, I think we're finally getting a handle on all of the bug reports and fixes.

Things to look for (Girls need to be present for related scenes to trigger.  The following is everything added since the A1 release of the game, so some of its going to be redundant.):

-There's a choice during the first night's scene that allows you to be rough with her if you want to be.  

-Two interactive scenes for Anna that can happen around the mansion (One of these was working previously...

Inheritance Progress Report

Been VERY busy with this all morning.  Seems this week, my coding has all the grace of a wrecking ball.  :P

-Unlocked a portion of the mansion I didn't realize was locked out.  That means seven new rooms to poke around in.  

-Been running down bugs all morning.  Every time one crops up, it seems like two more take its place.  Thankfully it looks like we're finally getting a handle on it.

-Created a shortcut past the intro for those who don't want to pl...
