Mr. Nickname

Merry Christmas, here's an update!

Well, lots happened so far hasn't it? 

Public release came out, shooting up the game's popularity up again. And we have since hit the goal for body expressions. This means updates will have an expression like, anger, be more dynamic by having arms crossed or up in anger. I'll do a poll tournament for which expressions will be getting this treatment, it'll be two. 

Now, as for progress on the next update...

There has been no progress. 

I've been busy with...

Erza poses for you

Here's Erza's first cg. Was a little hard coming up with ideas for Erza. But I'm happy with this. I always preferred her black bikini over the yellow one in ova 5 so I went with that one. 

Not much to say about this. Erza's in a bikini. Simple as that. 

Seri's workout routine

This cg set probably won't be in the next update. It was just the only sketch I had ready for the artist at the time. So it got finished early. 

This is so far the one where I had the most back and forth with the artist. Purely my fault. I've learned to be as clear and detail heavy as I can be now. Hopefully that sort of thing doesn't happen again. I felt really bad about it!

One last thing to mention, This outfit Seri wears is the planned one for her alternate costume. So if...

0.3 Public Release!

Firstly, the Itch.io link https://cartoon-nickname.itch.io/of-potions-and-spells 

You can check the devlog there for what's new. 

As for what's next, I think I'm still planning on adding to Juvia the most. Mostly so I can get to adding her Succubus transformation and finally have one in the game. 

I'm not sure that'll happen in 0.4, but it's the goal. ...

OPAS 0.3 Lunch Tier Release!

Hi! I completely forget this was today! I decided to try my hand at that Fairy Tail indie game dev contest and that's had my attention for the past days. 

This is the fully bug proofed version, so hopefully nothing goes wrong. If you want to trigger Juvia, you only need talk to Lucy in the guild again. 

I think I'm going to write more trust scenes even after the lust scenes. Still thinking of ideas. 

Discord Server launched!

Well, I've done it. a discord now exists. The link is here. If you are a supporter of some tier, let me know your discord nickname on the server through Patreon so I know you are one. Then I'll add you to your role on the server. 

I've never run a server like this so it may take a day or two for things to get under control, but if you want to join, here's the link.

DLC Character #2 Tournament

Well, we reached this milestone a while back, but we're ready to do the fan-voting for the next DLC character in OPAS. 

First, a note:

This character will be added to the game along with Mirajane and Cana. Who are the next two characters planned. 

All three of them will be added at a much later date though. The main focus for now is on the four girls we have already. So this poll won't technically be over until the newer characters are added. With that note done, l...

End of November Update

Well 0.3 has been released for Dinner supporters, and fixed up three times 24 hours shortly after. 

That's on me, I do not double check well enough. Ah well. Things will be better for 0.4 I hope. 

Speaking of which...

I think 0.4 is gonna be an update for Juvia, along with Erza getting her lust route started. Now that we have the four starting girls, I wanna get going on their normal content so I can get to the transformation aspect. 

So I wanna push Juv...

OPAS 0.3: Erza update release!

Hey, remember how I said 0.3 wouldn't happen till December? Turns out I was wrong, I got most of what I wanted in this update done in time for the original release. 

So what new? Obviously Erza is added. Along with her three trust scenes. I didn't get an idea for a cg of her in time so I'm leaving that for the next update. 

I've added in a battle system as well. It isn't much but it's there and once I get a better handle of it I can mess with things more. See if you get ...

Seri's expressions

And here's Seri's other faces. As usual the best is the joy one. Maybe I just enjoy seeing the girls be happy. Who knows. 

Still working on things otherwise. But we now have our 4 main girls for a while. So I hope you all enjoy interacting with them all.

Juvia's expressions

Well here's Juvia's alternate faces. they look good, particularly happy with the smile one. 

Lucy's Boob job

Well, after so long we finally reach the first true rated 18 scene in OPAS. And it's a good one. Originally it was just going to be the base image, ending, and the lick. But the artist recommended I add the suck image as well. Which I see now as the right decision. So be sure to thank our artist for that. ;)

0.3 is still taking some time. (mainly cause I'm out of ideas at the moment.) But things are steadily going at least. I hope you all enjoy the art at least. 

Buff Seri Commission

I recently commissioned the artist UltraTrick on deviantart to do a piece of Seri Awashima. I thought this would be the best place for it. And since he already put it on his page, I made it public for everyone here.

The alternative version is also most likely going to be her alternate outfit if we reach that particular patron goal. 

Honestly might find another artist to make a short comic of Seri having a full-blown FMG transformation. (I'd make that a patreon exclusive thoug...

An Update.

Well, I initially planned to have 0.3 ready for the end of the month for the early build release. But it seems very unlikely that'll happen. Why? Two things:

One, this is slowly becoming a large update. I'm overhauling a lot and I've realized that the small, simple VN plan I had for this game isn't going to be enough for most folks. Also there's a ton of new branching content and my brain is having a hard time wrapping around the renpy engine at times. (not as bad as I make it out to be...

DLC Character #1's Sprite!

So here we have the character that is the entire reason why DLC girls even exist in this game. Seri Awashima from K project. 

K is an obscure anime, so when I fell head over heels for Seri, I was disappointed that adult content for her was rather rare. I hope to add as much as I can to it though. 

The art for her turned out terrific, this is probably my favorite sprite so far. I hope you all enjoy her when she's introduced in 0.3. 

And don't worry, she'll get ...

Juvia's Sprite

To end off October we have the first sprite of Juvia, She looks quite good. I'm happy with how she turned out. I can't wait till we get to her Rock of Succubus form though personally. 

The sprite for the first DLC character is also ready, but I'm waiting till tomorrow to post it. In the meantime I'm curious if anyone can guess who she is. 

I doubt it but here's a few clues.

1. Blonde

2. Swordfighter

3. Not a fate GO girl. (I swear if one of you says Sab...

End of October Update

Well, 0.2 had both it's early, and public release and 0.3 is looking to be even bigger. Maybe too big. But we'll know if it is later down the line. 

Due to many a demands, I added a battle system. It isn't much of anything at the moment but it's there and has type matchups so that's a start. 

Artist is currently working on two new character sprites, Juvia and the first DLC character. I think after those two are in I'll focus on the four we have and get to finishing up th...

0.2 Public Release!

Well, here's the link to the itch.io page of the game, newly updated with 0.2's release. 

Note two things before you play. 

One: Your old save will not work with the new update. Hopefully this is the only time that sort of thing happens. 

Two: There is a known issue where the book menu disappears after the cg scene with Lucy, seeing as this is the last bit of new content in the update, I decided to keep it for now. 

Thanks to all the supporters new ...

Erza's Expressions

Well here they are, rather happy with them. Coding is going well, though due to realizing how annoying it would be to add a character every so often to the book menu, so my solution is to just add the last two characters I want in the core four and go from there. 

So, 0.3 will now include Juvia Lockser and her intro, along with the DLC character of my choice who shall remain nameless for now. 

Don't worry, Erza will still be the focus, the poll wasn't useless. 

0.2 Lunch Release

I've done a bit of differences for this build than I did for the Dinner patrons. Really all I did was switch the Lucy sprite.

I will say that your old saves won't work with this one, as the old pop up menu gets in the way of the new one. Don't worry, I've done what I can to spice up the grind a bit. Plan to do more to it later on too. 

But other than that, it's 0.2. I've added two new lust scenes for Lucy and built on the gameplay as well. 

For the work on 0.3, I'm...

Erza has Arrived!

Well here she is. Now I just gotta make up my mind if I want her introduction to have a cg or save it for when we get to the lust scenes of her. 

Her remaining expressions are being worked on now and will be up soon.

Lucy's Lust expression

Well, this went through a revision, so here's both of them. First one is what's in 0.2 at the moment, second is the first version. I've never been able to decide but at the time I liked the current one more, so I used that. I wonder what one you like though. if people prefer the unused one, I'll switch it. 

0.2 for Dinner Patrons

Well folks, here's 0.2's first release. I've check everything as best I can, hoping everything is in working order. If not let me know please. As well as your thoughts on the update as a whole. It always helps.

End of Month Update

Good news Everyone!

The coding is done, the spelling has been checked, all that's left is for one last item from the artist and 0.2 can finally be released for the Dinner patrons.

If all goes as planned, it'll be out for them before the end of the week.

A lot of this update is improving the game mechanics itself, there's a background for the MC's room now as well, along with the introduction to the lust scenes.

I've also done my best to add different missions for each ...

Lucy Grabs a Book CG

Our first cg image! and boy is it sweet. 

This will be in one of Lucy's lust scenes, one where she finally starts to open up to the player on the sexual side of things. 

Version 0.3 Focus

I'm unsure what to do with 0.3 so I thought I'd put it to a vote. I won't do this for every version but I thought I'd do it for now.

Here's where things stand:

0.1 has three trust scenes with Lucy.

0.2 will have the first two of the lust scenes. One with a CG image. 

The trust scenes are easiest to do and are more for build up and don't require CGs. Lucy is at the point where she is getting the lust scenes. Which is where the CGs come in. Once a good few lust scen...

End of August update + Discord?

Well, version 0.2 is going smoothly, thanks for all the support so far and in the future. 

My plan is to get 0.2 out before the end of September for the Dinner Patrons. Then two weeks from then it'll be public. This update will have a good chunk of gui things. the new menu, making more quests for the two ranks. And then we'll have the start of Lucy's lust potion story. Complete with a CG scene. It's not much in the story department but hopefully it's enough for now. 

Oth...

Menu Showcase

Morning folks, I'm still working out the kinks but here's the menu I'm going to have to replace that box in the demo. This here is the page that shows the girls and their stats. Since Lucy is the only one in the game so far, she's the only one in the menu. 

Now don't go thinking that there's going to be 14 girls in the game because there's 14 boxes in this menu. If anything the max I do will be 14. I just have 14 here for now to make things easier when I add new characters to the g...

Lucy's Extra Expressions

Well, here's the full range for Lucy so far. I'm especially impressed with the joy face. can't wait for the other girls to show their emotional range.

Demo Release!

It's time folks, I've been working on this since May and the demo is finally here.

There isn't too much here. Just three scenes with Lucy and the skeleton for the rest of the game. But that's why it's called a demo.

Please tell me what you think, how much you hate or love it. What can be improved, and what you'd like to see in the future. If enough people say they enjoy it and will keep up with me, I'll keep up with it.

The demo is being released to everyone at the same time...
