Monthly Pin-Up Feb 2024 (Free)

Hello everyone!

Here is the pin-up of this month. As it's the time for Spring Cleaning, this month's cover girl is Iris, your loyal maid.

I hope you like it! And cheers to LIMART for their great work. And don't forget to check the spicy version if you've subscribed to Silver Heart or above tier!

The status of the development of Horny Dungeon

Hello everyone. Sorry for the lack of updates lately.

I know the demo was supposed to be released at the end of this month (Feb), but given the current progress, it doesn't seem to be a very realistic goal.

The freelancers who worked for this game have done great jobs. The other parts of asset creation (VAs, sprites, sound effects. etc) are mostly done.

However my lack of 3D animation experience has been hindering the progress quite a lot. Sorry about that. The gameplay has ...

Monthly Pin-Up Jan 2024 (Public)

Happy new year!

Here is the pin-up of this month: Seraphina, the cleric of Feros. I hope you like it! And cheers to Secon for their great work.

And don't forget to check out the spicy version if you've subscribed to $6 or above tier!

(As for the progress of the game itself, I still need a little more time for something worth showing... sorry for that, and thank for your patience so far.)

Weekly Progress Report (2023-12-21)

The weekly report here! (Sorry, this has almost become a bi-weekly report.)

The good news is that the rigging migration is almost done. I believe I've dealt with most major technical hurdles in terms of rigging in Houdini. So expect the a devlog soon! And after that the progress report will get back to weekly update schedule.

Another good news is that one friend of mine generously sold me his used Macbook for peanuts. It's quite old, but it still runs Unity and launches t...

Hello! Here is the latest Horny Dungeon pin-up. The star of this month is Claudia!

Hope you enjoy it! And big thanks to LINART for their excellent work.

Weekly Progress Report (2023-12-07)

Another progress report.

To be honest, there hasn't been much progress lately. I'm still stuck in learning the Houdini 20's new animation system. It turns out to be more laborious and less automatic than I originally expected.

So I'm at a quite awkward situation: half of my rigging/animation logic has been migrated to Houdini, and the other half is still in Blender, which makes the workflow (unnecessarily) complicated and the whole development suffers.

(The below is a bit of...

Weekly Progress Report (2023-11-23)

The progress report is here!

The combat system is at a "barely playable" state. It's still (far) less polished than I'd like it to be, but at least it works, so I'll put it on the backburner and work on other stuff for now.

In the past two weeks I've been mostly studying the new animation system of Houdini 20. I think it's quite suitable for the non-trivial rigging and skinning workflow needed for this game. In the long-term it might save me some time compared to Blender's animati...

Hello! Here is this month's Horny Dungeon pin-up.

Big thanks to Rita Ya for working on this with me.

Poll Result & Weekly Progress Report (2023-11-09)

Another progress report! Not a particularly productive week, I must admit. I were mostly working on VFX sprites for the combat system and cut/edit voice lines.

Last week I started a poll for male voice acting. It seems like it's not a big deal for most audience:

So I'll put it on the back burner. I might still end up commissioning someone for some battle cries and simple lines (like "Read...

Patreon subscriber benefits Q&A

Since I updated the membership of this Patreon page, some people have DM'ed me asking questions about these. Let me explain them one by one in this post!

But before I start, I'd like to make one thing clear: please subscribe only if you want to support the development and you have extra money to conformably spend on this. Don't feel obliged to subscribe. The demo will be released for free and the final ...

Mini-Poll & Weekly Progress Report (2023-11-02)

Another progress report!

Mostly working with VAs (we have two at this point, Luna as Iris and Jubilee for Seraphina) this week on the voice lines in sexual scenes:

As I said before, this game is not fully-voiced. But it doesn't mean there are only few voice lines. Each girl is already getting abo...

[Horny Dungeon] Weekly Progress Report (2023-10-26)

Another progress report. Not too much progress, as the 3D model of Seraphina didn't come out as well as I thought, so I decided to redesigned her concept art. It took a significant amount of time in the last week, but I hope the effort is worth it!

Seraphina concept art

I found that my old design of Seraphina didn't work quite well in 3D, so I took some time to redesign her and drew an official concept art.

Hope you like it!

[Horny Dungeon] Weekly Progress Report (2023-10-19)

Another progress report! The important news is that the Steam page is live (wishlist it if you missed it!)

Admittedly it wasn't a week with great progress tho, since I were mostly fiddling Steam's settings and reading about how they work.

But I'm done with Steam stuff now. Time to get back to the development!

[Horny Dungeon] Steam page is now live!

It took quite a while, but finally the store page has been approved by Steam!

Please wishlist it: Horny Dungeon on Steam (steampowered.com)

Thank you! 🥰

[Horny Dungeon] Devlog #005 - The Situation(s) (SFW Edition)

Another devlog incoming! This one is a bit short tho, cause the latest progress is mostly shown on the cover .gif. Again, if you are a Patreon subscriber, just read the NSFW version.

The Patreon Situation

This Patreon has been for pure donation only for quite a while. I never set up what rewards each tier get. (Thank you all very much for supporting me out of pure benevolence!)

The Patreon Situation

This Patreon has been for pure donation only for quite a while. I never set up what rewards each tier get. (Thank you all very much for supporting me out of pure benevolence!)

But the situation is gonna change! I've completely overhauled the tiers of this Patreon.

[Horny Dungeon] Weekly Progress Report (2023-10-12)

The Steam store page is done and submitted, but Steam is still reviewing it, so I haven't marked it *Completed*. Actually, for NSFW games, Steam usually requires an internal demo build to publish the store page, so it's not guaranteed it will be published soon.

Also, I really don't want to spend too much time on the trailer when there are still a lot to do for the game itself. So it probably won't make it on Next Fest Feb 2024.

But don't worry, we're still on track to release a de...

[Horny Dungeon] Weekly Progress Report (2023-10-05)

I thought I can go with screenshots only, but it turns out for Steam Next Fest a trailer is mandatory. 

So I have to add trailer into this table. I'll launch a trailer-less Steam page next week and add a trailer later.

A bit status update about Steam Next Fest

I promised to be 100% transparent about the status, so I'd like to talk about a little concerning stuff.

Admittedly, it's not an easy task to make it to Steam Next Fest. Steam requires a trailer before Oct 23 (!). And while Steam reviews usually take about a week, if they found the game needs more "consideration", it could take 6 weeks (!!!):

I'm still pushing hard for the goal, working o...

[Horny Dungeon] Weekly Progress Report (2023-09-28)

Progress report of this week!

Mostly working on Steam Store Page launch. Expect it to be available in one or two weeks! Please wishlist it when it's on. *wink wink*

[Horny Dungeon] Devlog #004 - The graphics, the physics, and the others (SFW Edition)

A new devlop here! But please hold on, if your already a subscriber of this Patreon, just read the NSFW version. This public post is the SFW version for people who literally read Patreon at work :p

(This post contains several .gif files. Please be patient and wait them to load if the Patreon server isn't blazingly fast at the moment.)

The Graphics

In the past month(s) the graphics has...

[Horny Dungeon] Weekly Progress Report (2023-09-21)

To answer "how far is Horny Dungeon demo from being released?", I made this weekly progress report.

I really don't have time to make it a pretty graphical chart (the time better spent on the game itself, right?) but hopefully this it clear and readable enough.

When all the =Must= items are done, we'll have a playable demo!

If I manage to check all the =Must= items before Steam Next Fest 2024, then I'll release a private prototype (Patreon only), while keepin...

[Horny Dungeon] Devlog #004 - The graphics, the physics, and the others

A new devlop here! And woohoo, this is our first NSFW devlog. Yeah I know it has taken way too long for an hentai game to have its first devlog with a naked anime girl, but late better than never, right?

(This post contains several .gif files. Please be patient and wait them to load if the Patreon server isn't blazingly fast at the moment.)

The Graphics

In the past month(s) the graphics has being finalized. Most notably, the highlight is not directly painted on ...

[Horny Dungeon] Mini Update #003.4 (a bit wall of text)

A little more showcase. Facial expression system!

Sorry, a full devlog is still not ready yet. There are a lot of things going on. I mean a lot.

I've found a great sprite artist, Robert Pinero, for the combat sprites:

He's very busy (just like all the great artists around the world), but it feels great to know our sprites are in the hands of someone who knows what they are ...

[Horny Dungeon] Mini Update #003.3

A little bit of updating here.

I've been re-creating my UI in Unity. Now they're not just mockups, but actually clickable buttons and dropdown lists.

I'd like to make this screen more "rich" and interactable tho. Like maybe making her eyes track the cursor. Or say something about your action. Or maybe, instead of just playing the idle animation, you can... you know, click her chest and see her reaction :)

When it's done I'll post a longer devlog.

I also started designi...

Measurements (commission)

Another commissioned piece of art.

(It's the last commission until I release the demo of Horny Dungeon)

[Horny Dungeon] Mini Update #003.2

Another little improvement. Now Iris has a proper idle animation. She blinks and moves her eyes while waiting for your instructions.

(Sorry the video is a bit scuffed. Patreon doesn't allow video uploading, so I have to use this high-compressed .gif)

[Horny Dungeon] Mini Update #003.1

This is just an extremely tiny update.

About the writing in this game, instead of waiting for (or hiring) a writer, I've decided to do it myself for now. A supporter who is better at English than me, Fawie42, kindly offered me some guidance and editing.

I've also surveyed several solutions for game scripts. While some full-suite solutions look promising (e.g. Dialogue System on Unity's Asset Store), I've temporarily settled with Ink.

Ink is a little cool language in which yo...

[Horny Dungeon] Devlog #003 - Tachie (Public)

First of all, I have to apologize for not updating here for so long. Like every naive gamedev wannabe, I severely underestimated how much work it takes. I (laughably) thought I could release a demo version in Jan... and now, in the middle of May, I'm still working on art assets here :'(

The Progress

So what took me so long? Where is the progress?

Well, as you can see from the video above, I've decided to adopt a 3D workflow.

It's a pretty ta...
