Hi everybody.
Here's a summary of what we did last week:
Chestnut:
She worked Saturday through Wednesday, working most on cutscenes or smaller elements from different events. We shared a spoiler image from a long series of cutscenes here, and there's also a video (2022-04-29 21:20:03 +0000 UTC View Post
Hi everybody.
In all of our updates so far, we have had a number of nameless extras who have often been there to add to a scene or a background visually, and they sometimes have a few lines of dialogue. Here you see Chestnut creating a few of those extras for 0.6.
This video is at x8 speed, and I hope you like it.

Hi everybody.
I hope you're all feeling well and are ready to have a relaxing weekend. Here's a summary of our work last week:
Chestnut:
She worked on cutscenes, starting and finishing one of the bigger events she had avoided until now, and worked on several smaller images she had started before. She had prepared an image for me to post as a spoiler, but busy with my work, I forgot to do that 😅. So, you can expect a spoiler tomorrow.

Hi everybody.
Last week, most of our work centered around Rose and Myrtle's event and sex scene. Here's the detail:
Chestnut:
She worked on the cutscenes featuring Myrtle and Rose (an image from one of them can be seen here) and redesigned and drew new artworks for the sex animation. Since this event will be playable at the end of both Ro...

Hi everybody.
As you know, Chestnut has been working on the Myrtle-Rose event (both the sex scene and the cutscenes), but we don't want to share more artworks from that event for now. So for this week's video, Chestnut worked on one of the earlier cutscenes we were missing instead. There are a lot of similar images that are simple and quick enough that they don't even often have tasks associated with them, but that are still important for the events of the story, and this one's one of t...

Hi everybody.
I hope you're all feeling well and are looking forward to enjoying your weekend.
Last week, we spent the bulk of our time working on the threesome. Chestnut created two sets of layered images for the sex scene, and I animated them (two different animations), but going through the whole event, they didn't work when we considered both Myrtle and Rose's stories and personalities (Myrtle was a bit too passive). We want this scene to make sense regardless...

Hi everybody.
Off days
Last week, we took a day off for my birthday, and it was great to spend time with our families and just chill, but I had forgotten to mention it in the weekly report, so if you saw us not updating the daily progress tracker, that was the reason.
Now that all birthdays are done, though, we don't plan to take more off days until the release. This update has already been challenging, and we want to release it as fast as we can.

Hi everybody.
First of all, thank you to all of you who commented on the last post and on our Discord server and shared your thoughts about our approach to releasing content.
I don't think running a poll will be necessary, as the vast majority of players seemed to indicate either preferring more content even if they take longer to develop or told us to go with what we like the most.
We like it when a story is completed, and there's a proper beginning, ...

Hi, everybody.
Before the report, I want to ask everyone to chime in and let us know what you think about the way we release our content. For the last few updates (0.4, 0.5, and the currently in-development 0.6), we've tried to prepare a large amount of content for each release, aiming to either finish a character's story (Myrtle & Rose) or reach important story-points (the Main Story). Content-wise, we're happy with this approach and think the feeling of a satisfactory end is worth...

Hi everybody.
Here's a summary of what we did last week:
Chestnut:
She initially planned to work on sex scenes and sketched and prepared a scene to be completed, but then started work on some of the sprite additions (you can see one of them here) and a background which took up most of her time. She also spent a day going through the new content and t...

Hi, everybody.
Although Rose is not as huggy as say Myrtle, there are definitely a few instances where she and the MC hug each other (and kiss), and the creation of this sprite addition is what you see here. This video is at x6 speed, and I hope you enjoy it.
Cheers
PS. If you like it, we may be able to record the kissing sprite too (she's also going to have a naked kissing variation which might be fun).
Hi, everybody.
Hope you're all doing great.
First, I've already issued the refunds for all of you who joined recently in the final days of Feb and kept your subscription for March. If I've missed you, please do send me a message, and I'll fix it ASAP.

She worked on a multi-posed cutscene (see a video from it here) and added several new hands and expressions to Jebediah's sprite (I had asked her earlier, and it was on her to-do list) and has been working on the first sex scene of the next update. She also tested and g...

Hi, everybody.
Here's a video showing the creation of a cutscene from Rose's second quest. The final result will be slightly different (we have had to edit it a little for this video so as not to spoil too much), but you can see the pose and the overall feel of the image. This video is at x5 speed, and I hope you like it.

Hi, everybody.
I hope you're all doing great. Here's a summary of what we did last week:
Chestnut:
She finished the sprite she was working on. This was a rather difficult one since the character in question has several sizes and needed to be done in a way that would work depending on events and variations in Rose's third quest. She also worked on a number of cutscenes, most of which were too spoilery to share, but we did publish a spoiler image fr...

Hi, everybody.
In one of the new 0.6 locations, there's a painting of a gold elemental hung on the wall above the fireplace. You see the beginning of the creation of that painting here in this video (at x7 speed).
I hope you like it.
Hi, everybody.
In the last weekly report, I mentioned that the poll determining the next extra location had been concluded, and in the image included with this post, you can see how Close Friend and Best Friend tier patrons voted for each of the planned backgrounds.
As you can see, the Twins' buildings got the highest votes, and the Inn was a somewhat close second.
I should perhaps have been clearer about who lives in the Twins', since some members thought by Twins' we meant...

Hi everybody.
It seems like with each update we add one new animal to the world, and this time around we're adding ravens.
This video is at x5 speed, there's a longer (about 18 mins) and more complete version of it available here, and I hope you enjoy it.
P.S. The pigeon from 0.5 is there for scale.

Hi everybody.
First, I want to let you all know that in the coming week, we'll run a poll (open to Close Friend and Best Friend tier patrons) to determine the next extra location that we will add to the game (in 0.6 if we have the time, otherwise in 0.7). We want to expand the world gradually, and although some areas will be required for each update and added by default, you can help us decide what other locations we should work on next.

Hi everybody.
Here is the second and final post on the 0.6 achievements (the first part was here). There will be five achievements in 0.6, but the 5th one is rather too spoilery, so we didn't record that. Come to think of it, I think the two achievements shown in this video are somewhat spoilery too, but they're a bit vaguer and we really like how they look (especially the first one). Can you guess ...

Hi, everybody.
We have now recovered entirely from COVID and spent the past few days continuing our work on the game. I did posing tasks for Rose's first quest, rewrote a few clunky scenes (you notice the mistakes in the writing once the characters are posed), and added some of the cutscenes to the code. For her part, Chestnut worked on two cutscenes from Rose's first quest and the intro, an image from which we shared 2021-12-31 20:34:39 +0000 UTC View Post
