Weekly report 34

Hello everybody.

Today will be the last Friday of 2020, and we wanted to thank all of you who have supported us in this craziest of years. Thank you, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your trust in us and our capacity and honesty means a huge deal to both Chestnut and me, and although we have made mistakes (and no doubt will continue to do so), we will do everything in our power to deserve your support.

I don't want to bore you with a long-ass report, but there a...

I had hoped to finish the third quest last weekend, but when going through the story, we weren't happy with some of the sc...

Teaser - walking together

Hi everybody.

Here's a short video from one of the scenes in Myrtle's third quest where she and the MC walk together among the trees.

We had done something similar to this in the previous update (with Abe) but in this newer version, we improved it a bit by having another layer in the foreground. 

I hope you like it.
Cheers

Refund for late Nov patrons

Hi everybody.

I forgot to write an important announcement in the last Weekly Report, so here goes:

Many of you joined us toward the end of the month, and as it would be very unfair for you to pay twice within the short span of a few days, we'll issue a refund for one of your payments. 

If you're one of those patrons to whom this applies and haven't been refunded by the end of the first week of December, do contact us on Patreon, as I might have missed your na...

Weekly report 30

Hi.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who celebrate it, and I hope everybody's doing great.

We've been very busy this week trying to wrap up the second quest, and we're happy with how things are looking. A few announcements before the report:

December schedule:

Our December plan is as follows:

• We will take four days off this December: 15th (our kid's birthday), 24th, 25th, and 31st.
• To cover these four days, we won't be t...

Video - Visitors at Myrtle's

Hi everybody.

We've been having a bit of difficulty this week recording a video since most of what Chestnut drew contained major spoilers from the plot.

In the end, we decided to share a scene that depicts several visitors coming to the woodcutter's hut to talk and interact with Myrtle.

This is an unfinished artwork, and the video is at x4 speed.

Hope you enjoy it.
Cheers

Weekly report 29

Hi everybody.

The first quest is officially complete (after extra adjustments and edits and without the sex scene), and it feels like it has almost as much content already as that of Holly in 0.3 (we'll need to return to her later to amend this). But we're working on two other quests, of course, to try to improve our updates and have more content.

Here's a summary of what we did this week:

Chestnut:

Poll Results - 0.5 content

Hey everybody.

We ran a poll on what story we should focus on for the 0.5 update, and we have a winner.

As you can see below, you decided that for 0.5, we should return to the Main Story. The results were very close, and Rose lost by only 7 votes.

In the next part of the Main Story, the MC will romance Simmone Hammerdick (new character: 2020-11-15 19:35:52 +0000 UTC View Post

Video - Myrtle climbing the stairs

Hi everybody.

The artwork shared today is from the intro event in the release. It was only drawn this week, though, because we decided to add a few more sexy images after we play-tested the game. 

Before its addition, the MC thought how attractive Myrtle looked as she was climbing the stairs (to go to her bedroom), but we didn't see what he was seeing; now we do. And we think that's an improvement.

Hi everybody.

I hope you're all doing well and are ready to unwind and enjoy your weekend.

Sketches - Holly

Hi everybody.

Today we're sharing the early sketches that Chestnut made for a young female shepherdess that was later to be called Holly.

At the time, we wanted a tomboy redhead with a lot of attitude. I think Holly's personality and character didn't change much as we finalized the design, but some visual elements did:

• She was a bit chestier at first (we changed that to add more variety to the body types).
• She was chewing on a straw (we had to remove this afte...

Video - Simmone

Hi everybody.

In making one of the new sprites appearing in 0.4, Chestnut ended up designing Simmone Hammerdick, a character from the Main Story. 

The drawing you see here is not the final result but the starting point. And Simmone's body here is merely a placeholder. We still haven't decided what kind of body type she will have.

I hope you enjoy it.

Hi everybody.

I hope you're all doing well. Here's a summary of what we did this week:

Art:

Chestnut's work this week was mainly focused on the cutscenes of the second quest. In addition to that, she drew Myrtle's buttons, did several facial expressions for posing, and finished designing a new sprite for a major character from the Main Story, who will also be the antagonist of Myrtle's second quest (shown here: 2020-11-06 22:58:10 +0000 UTC View Post

Video - 0.4 achievements

Hey everybody.

Chestnut has finished drawing the CV achievements. Three of them are hard enough to guess what they refer to that we can share them without spoiling much.

Weekly report 26

Hi everybody.

We're almost at the end of October, and it's great to be able to report that the game is shaping up nicely.

'How come?' you ask. Well, because I'm almost done with the writing of 0.4, and we spent several hours today playing and testing the game, looking for flaws and getting a feel for the questing and the storytelling.

In the case of both 0.2 and 0.3 releases, we had to make many changes and improvements after the text was done, but I think we've finally lear...

Video - Myrtle's hug (short)

Hi everybody.

Chestnut has been drawing Myrtle in different poses, and we thought that hugging the MC might make for a good video.
