Hi everybody.

Happy Friday! I hope you had a great and productive week. Here's a summary of our work since the last report:

Chestnut:

She started work on the art of the first sex scene. It will have two "cameras" allowing the player to switch between seeing the action as well as Holly's face. She did a few more buttons for the background of the week before (I shared the base art 2025-06-28 00:46:54 +0000 UTC View Post

Weekly report 267

Hi everybody.

I hope you had a great week and are looking forward to a restful weekend. Here's the summary of our work last week:

Chestnut:

She finished the background she was working on and started preparing the art of the first sex scene. We've decided to share the completed background sometime next week as a spoiler since although it gives away one of the bigger events of the update, it's not directly related to the main plot of the story, so seein...

Hi everybody.

Happy Friday! I hope you had a great and productive week and are getting ready for a relaxing weekend. Here's a summary of our work since the last report:

Chestnut:

Most of her work time last week was dedicated to drawing a background that will play a central role in the events of Holly's second quest. This new location will be accessible from the well in the village and will have a couple of variations. She also spent a day testing the ...

Weekly report 265

Hi everybody.

I hope you're feeling well and had a great week. Our week was mostly dedicated to meeting self-imposed deadlines and finishing up/preparing sprites for the posing. Here's a more detailed summary of the work:

Chestnut:

She focused primarily on doing all facial expressions and sprite variations for an important character who will be introduced in 0.8. The character in question is quite large (bigger than Kull the Boner King in 0.7), which ...

Hi everybody.

Happy Friday. I hope you had a good week and are looking forward to a relaxing weekend. Here's a summary of our work from last week.

Chestnut:

She worked on two sprites, doing all hands, facial features, and skins for one and two different bases for another (this particular character will have three versions that have fundamentally different ways of standing, hence needing three bases -- she had already designed the main one). Then she f...

Video - the feel of them

Hi everybody.

Here's a video from one of the events of the first half of 0.8's story, showing Holly lying on top of the MC. I won't say more about the scene as I don't want to spoil the sequence, so I invite you to watch the video (it's at x6 speed).

Enjoy

P.S. this is an unfinished artwork.

Weekly report 263

Hi everybody!

I hope you're all feeling well and had a great week. Here's a summary of our work since the last report:

Chestnut:

She divided her time between working on a cutscene, a background, and a sprite. The cutscene is a multi-image series that is a work-in-progress. She's done with the background and honestly, it's one of the prettiest we've had, and it's a location we'll be visiting a lot in 0.8 (it's somewhere in the Old Capital's map). The s...

Weekly report 262

Hi everybody.

Happy Friday! I hope you're all feeling well and had a productive week. First, last week's poll has concluded, and you can see the results here. In summary, the green, perhaps more elegant option from the bottom row won.

Now the report:

We had a good work week, getting a lot of smaller things done. Chestnut worked on multiple cutscenes she had already started, and ...

Poll Results - Holly's new dress

Hi everybody.

The poll determining the design and the color of Holly's new outfit has concluded, and the winner is option H, meaning that Holly's favorite color will be green. Here are the results:

Chestnut will later work on this a little more, polishing it and drawing different arm gestures for it, and then I'll add it to the game for future posing.

Thank you to those of you who...

Poll - Holly's new outfit (Best Friend)

Hi everybody.

Here's the poll determining how Holly's new clothes will look in 0.8. A few points about the clothes:

• Their source is Sev's mansion in the village.

• We have planned a sex scene in these clothes between Holly and the MC.

Hi everybody.

I hope you all had a great week and are ready for a relaxing weekend. Here's a summary of our work since the last report:

Chestnut:

She worked on three things last week: helping me go through the text and decide what parts can benefit from being shortened, advancing continuous work on three backgrounds, and preparing the options for an upcoming poll deciding Holly's new outfit. We'll post the poll next week, so if you like participating ...

Weekly report 259

Hi everybody.

Happy Friday, and I hope you had a great week. Here's a summary of our work since the last report:

Chestnut:

She began work on backgrounds as planned, but changed her drawing subject and returned to sprites when we discussed the topic of running a poll in May. The poll will help us decide the design (and possibly the color) of Holly's new outfit, and it needed her sprite without any clothes, which, in addition to hands, hair, and skin op...

Video - Holly's nude sprite

Hi everybody.

Chestnut has been working on Holly's sprite and its variations, and one of the first things she created for her -- and finished today -- was her nude base sprite. She still needs to draw the outline (in Adobe Illustrator) and add the final touches to the work, but you can see how Holly will look when undressed. The video is at x7 speed.

We plan to have a new outfit for her in 0.8, and we'll probably run a poll for it sometime in May so that you can decide on its des...

Weekly report 258

Hi everybody.

I hope you're all feeling well and had a great week. Here's a summary of our work last week:

Chestnut:

She primarily focused on one major background (the scene of many of the events of 0.8 with multiple sections and internal 'rooms'. We haven't yet decided if we should share it in a spoiler post later or not -- we probably will since it's impossible to guess the plot from it. She also worked on creating a few expressions for the MC's new...

Weekly report 257

Hi everybody.

I hope you're all feeling well and had a productive week. Here's a summary of our work since the last report:

Chestnut:

Last week, she mainly focused on two backgrounds, one required coloring and creating various buttons, and the other she had to design from the ground up. She had been working to prepare the former for a spoiler post this week, and while it's almost ready, it needs a few finishing touches and I'll post it early next week...

Hi everybody.

Happy Friday! I hope you had a great week and have an even better weekend waiting for you. We've been busy trying to reach our goals (when I say we, I mean me, Chestnut has been doing great), and here's the report:

Chestnut:

She finished her work on the base sprites for all of the characters that will play a part in 0.8. These sprites come with basic eyes and mouths, and Chestnut has a list of extra facial features (eyes, mouths, eyebrow...

Chestnut has been working on a number of notification messages (achievements and bag items), and you can see part of the creation of one of them here (at x7 speed). There's a longer (about 15 minutes) version of this video available here, which includes two achievements and shows the completion of this one.

I hope you enjoy it.

Video - 0.8 achievements

Hi everybody.

Chestnut has been working on a number of notification messages (achievements and bag items), and you can see the creation of two of them here.

In the video (which is at x7 speed), you'll see her changing her mind to a visual element (stars) and coming up with a new design involving hearts. We usually cut these changes out of the video, but I thought let's leave this one in since I personally found the process interesting.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this v...

Hi everybody.

It's finally Friday, and I hope a restful weekend is waiting for you. We had a productive week overall, although both Chestnut and I need one more week to hit our respective targets. Here's a bit more detail:

Chestnut has been busy over the last couple of weeks designing, drawing, coloring, and preparing the new sprites for the 0.8 story (see the finished Twin sisters here)....

Hi everybody.

Happy Friday! I hope you had a great week and are ready to enjoy a relaxing weekend. Here's a summary of our work last week:

Chestnut:

She continued drawing several work-in-progress sprites and finished the design of the twin sisters. It took her a few attempts to get the sisters' faces right, and in the end, she sketched everything from scratch, redesigning the outfit as well as the face. You can watch the video showing the creation of this sp...

Video - the twins (short version)

Hi everybody.

Here's a video showcasing the creation of one of the twin sisters we'll meet in 0.8. While their role in the next release will be brief and cursory, they will have their content in the future. The twins are farmers who own two large, well-to-do farmhouses in the village near the Old Capital, and are known for the quality of their produce -- notably their melons.

This video has been sped up to x7 speed. Given that this is a public video, it's a bit short, but a 2025-03-19 16:31:11 +0000 UTC View Post

Hi everybody.

Happy Friday! I hope you had a great week and are ready to enjoy the weekend. Here is the summary of our work last week:

Chesnut:

Last week, she worked on three sprites: the twins and a third character. She recorded some footage of the drawing of the twins, but while she got the body right based on the initial designs (they are very curvy women), she was not happy with the faces and plans to redo and improve them. For this reason, we wil...

Hi everybody.

I hope you all had a fantastic week and are ready for a relaxing weekend.

At home, we've all come down with the flu, and while the girls and I recovered quickly, Chestnut hasn't improved -- she's stayed in bed all day to rest. I've asked her to take tomorrow off, too, so that she can hopefully recover by Monday and get back to work. We had a babysitter today, so my work wasn't affected, and it won't be tomorrow either.

Still, earlier in the week, she finished ...

Video - Holly in bed 2 (completed)

Hi everybody.

Here's the continuation of the video we posted last week. Chestnut worked on it early in the week but it took me a few days to prepare this (at x7 speed this time).

As you can see, this image is finished and has its final highlights. Still, I'm sure we'll go through it again during 0.8's polish phase, comparing the size of Holly's breasts to the art we have in the game (it may be slightly bigger here) to ensure they match.

Hope you like it.

Chestnut:

She has continued working on sprites, drawing their neutral poses and faces based on last week's designs. The update's story begins a bit slow, but halfway through, something will happen that requires many characters, most of whom have new sprites. Preparing for that event has been the focus of Chestnut's work these past wee...
