Dev Journal #3

Another week, another development journal… what’s that? The journal is 4 days late? Shhh, if you don’t say anything, nobody will notice! Oops.

Well, sorry for the delay. I was waiting because I knew I was close to having everything I wanted mapped out to the point where I feel comfortable giving a release date. The front page has been updated, and I want to point out that I’ve learnt my lesson a bit. You can expect Aylia’s Story by December 30, 2015 as a slightly belated Christm...

Dev Journal #2

10-29 – Feeling motivated! Decide to deal with a bunch of the little crap I’ve been putting off. Finally setup an Excel spreadsheet listing important switches, H switches, Skill switches, and variables. This way I can keep better track of these things. RPG Maker is not the best at listing this stuff. You might wonder why I’ll need so many… well, this is how I do all the cool dynamic stuff. Such as, making the world react to Aylia’s current attire, or making H-events change based on pri...

Dev Journal #1

Hello everyone. I started writing this about a two weeks ago, but then thing just went crazy. Instead of just saying, "Hey, I'm working on the game..." I figured I'd try something a bit different. Here it goes.


10/14/15 - Working on finalizing Kira's stuff in chapter 1. Been going through and editing her dialogue... damn, that girl likes to talk! She literally has something to say about everything! And, she is so damn naive.

I'm glad I decided to add an ecchi scene. Heh, we'll see i...

The Long Lost Status Update!

Hello everyone!

It's been an insane couple of weeks at work and my progress on the game has suffered from it. Such is the way... in fact, I fly out tomorrow to go on-site and hopefully resolve the issue. Thankfully, I'll still have my trusty Internet so I can still catch me some Eromons in Osawari Island! Hey! Don't judge me...

Anyways, update time, and it is not all bad news. First, I'd like to take a moment to thank my semi-legit team. Balduindrake has agreed to help me out with the s...

Battle Skill Teaser

Hey everyone!

I promised you guys a teaser this weekend as I diligently work on the artwork for chapter 1. In reality, as I draw all these CGs, I am realizing that I probably went a little overboard. The way things are shaping up, Aylia's Story will feature A LOT of pictures. It will be a lot of work, but I think the game will be freakin' awesome because of it. Perhaps the Japanese will be a little jealous of an English game for once :-) (probably not, hehe).

Anyways, when Aylia uses ce...

Poll Results

Hey everyone,

Wanted to let you guys know the results of the last poll. Was not the most exciting of polls, but the first question in particular will be quite influential.

Q1: H-Scene progression:

• 57% of you guys wanted more player control over how a scene plays out.
• 43% wanted Aylia's current level of corruption to maintain control.

Q2: Save Game transfers

• 18% responded that transferring save games is "very important."
• 49% responded...

"The Pitch"

Aka How one man convinced one woman to let him make hentai games!

So a few people commented on the mother-in-law statement, and I figured it would be kind of fun to just write a brief little skit of how the revealing of my desire to make hentai games to my wife went down. You may perhaps see where Bogwort’s personality comes from! Honestly, I’m not really sure why she puts up with my shenanigans…

*Flips open the book, clears his throat and does his best Morgan Freeman commercial vo...

Early Access Prologue

Hello everyone!

Well, I've uploaded a copy of the final prologue. Unfortunately, it will not allow you to transfer saves, so the only reason to play it at this point is if you want to see the new portraits, the edited and improved dialogue, and the basic battle system. Somewhere along the line, the damn achievements script got screwy on me again, and now the damn level up script is not working. I don't think either is too big of a deal, but I won't get them fixed tonight, and I told you guys I...

One More Chapter 1 Survey

Hello all, as I finish up drawing the CGs, I'm debating how I want H-scenes to play out. Both have their good and bad, so I figured I would ask you all! And, just because, I threw in a for fun question as well. Just a super short survey, but the first question will potentially be very important to the game.

Quick Update

It's been 12 days since my last update, so I wanted to pop in and give you guys the scoop. I've been going through and creating a list of everything that will break save game compatibility between versions, and discovering that it is quite the list. A number of custom scripts get updated as I go (achievements, quests, etc.) and those need to be updated in prior saves in order to function correctly. Honestly, it made my head hurt a bit and I took a break from Aylia's Story for a few days. Instead...

Quick Update

Hello everyone,

Was hoping to hold out until I had some kick ass news before I updated, but it was taking too long. I hate going more than a week without posting something for you all. Especially given how long things have taken.

Anyways, I'm slowly trudging through this eventing/dialogue inputting process. I'm finalizing things as I go, and finally adding the passive skills/stat gains Aylia can earn during the first chapter. This unfortunately brought about a slight hiccup with the ach...

Nothing to see here...

Hello everyone!

So, I was scrolling back through my posts and came across "Chapter 1 Countdown 2..."

"Status update: 

Battle system and skills: 98% done.  The artwork is finished for all but 1 enemy. Drafts of the common events are created, I just need to tweak them until I find the right balance. I also need to tweak enemy stats, but I may end up releasing it to you all before I get the balance to where I want it. As you can see in the post graphic, battles should be fu...

Chapter 1 Maps completed

Chapter 1 will feature about 90% of the Zalran area. If my quick tally is correct, there are 22 maps (not including house interiors). I'm sure you all will have fun exploring the new stuff, but don't neglect the old stuff as I've added a few things to find.

Next up on my list is inputting all the events into these new maps. I've got the chapter 1 script completed, but I have to add each event and dialogue portraits. This is a somewhat tedious and time consuming process. I also need to make sur...

Chapter 1 Monsters Completed

July is moving right along... damn it! I have sixteen days to try and get this sucker done. *Cracks knuckles* Here we go! I drew the last monster tonight and stuck him in game just to see how it looked. I think the beholder turned out pretty cool. He'll be my test monster as I try and get the advanced enemy AI stuff working.

Next up, finishing the last few maps that I've had on the backburner while I worked on CGs!

Don't Piss Her Off!

Since a few people mentioned the facial expression in the previous post, and there does not seem to be a way to add more pictures to that post. I just thought I would put up a few more of her facial expressions. The first is actually her default expression and you should be able to guess the second.

Now, back to work I... crap, it's already 3am? Err, guess it's time to sleep. :-)

System Survey Results

Hello everyone,

Thanks for taking the survey! We had 292 responses, which is awesome. I thought I would post the results with the new standing portrait.

Question 1: Whether to keep face message box graphics when the standing portrait is visible.

• 241 - Keep it as is faceset + portrait
• 29 - remove faces when portrait is visible
• 19 - use faces only

Overwhelmingly, you guys voted to keep it as is. Which is a relief, as I liked it this way best as we...

Quick Survey on Game Changes

Hello everyone. I'd appreciate if you would take a quick 4 question survey on a few game change suggestion I've received from early alpha testing. I'd really like all of your feedback before I decide whether to actually implement these changes. As always, please only take the survey once.

Movin' Right Along

Hello everyone!

Wanted to let you all know that things are movin' along. I lost a bit of time last week with work, as I had to fly out of town for a few days. But, I'm back at it this week. I've been focusing on drawing and a number of CGs are coming along nicely. I have all but 2 CGs sketched, and most of the remaining CGs are in some state of coloring! Exciting stuff.

I've also redone the battle event background. If you remember the bright red/pink background from the dress pulldown C...

Sound Effect Recommendations

Hello everyone!

Still pluggin' away. Been drawing all day, which has been pretty awesome. Anyways, I'm making this post in hopes that a few of you might have some recommendations which might ultimately save me a good amount of time. I'm looking for recommendations on a few sound effects to put in the game:

1. I've added a kind of "Chapter" title screen which pops up at the start of each chapter. The screen lists the chapter title (e.g. Prologue), the subtitle, and a character ...

Chapter 1 Update and Information

Hello everyone, 

This time, I'm dedicating this entire post to Aylia's Story's status and what to expect. I'll start with the current status of the project, and then I want to detail what you can expect. If you want to go into the chapter 1 demo "blind" then simply stop reading when you reach "Chapter 1 Information and Tidbits." I wouldn't say anything is really a spoiler, but I'd understand if you want to be super surprised. 

Chapter 1 status: 

I just want to say, "...

Minor status update

Still working on the game. Currently tweaking experience and leveling to fit with my final battle values. Looking through scripts in an attempt to get one that allows me to pop up messages when you level. This way, each level has meaning (as Aylia will not level extensively). 

Once that is finished, I'm going to finalize the day/night system and start inputting the necessary npcs. There will be a slightly randomized night time system, which will have limited importance in chapter 1, but w...

Blast from the Past: The Girls

Hello again! Another week gone, another update post. Meet "The Girls" from one of my earlier game attempts. Aside from Aylia's Story, this game got the furthest along, and if it was not for my getting a new job, I may have even got it to a point where I would have finished it. Alas, it was not meant to be--at least at that point. I really may pick it back up someday. Anyways, the game was built in RenPy and was meant to be a True Love style simulator game. You took the role of a guy named Zak,...

Update on Updates! Huh?

Hello everyone! 

I was looking over the activity feed and realized I've been slacking on updates. For shame! I think one of the reasons I fail to update is because I like to give you something to look at when I make an update--yet, I don't want to spoil the game with too many pictures. SOOO, for the next few updates, I'll just post some of my old artwork that never saw the light of day. Maybe I'll even post my old dating simulator game that I started ages ago. It did have a working demo i...

Wow, $3,000 per update! Thank you!

In honor of this auspicious moment, I made Triste say thanks in the best way I know how--by showing her boobies! Unlike Kira, she was not too happy about it... 

I don't know about you guys, but I absolutely love how Triste turned out! :-) 

As for the game, I am hard at work trying to live up to the faith you all are putting in me. I'm busying completing CGs and inputting events. Yesterday, I started working on the battle stuff again. Things are progressing nicely. I plan on put...

Chapter 1 status update and release plan!

Hello everyone! 

So, I've had lots of time to work on Aylia's Story last week, and boy was it fun :-). I got everything organized and instead of fairly vague percentages, I have an up-to-date list of things to accomplish in order to release the chapter 1 that I've hoped for. I think once you play it, you guys will understand why it has taken me awhile to get everything in place, but more on that in a second. 

First, if you have not heard, I would highly recommend checking out E...

The Patreon Bandits

Hello everyone, 

Still pluggin' away at Chapter 1. I'll give you all a detailed update Monday, as I should have some time to work both Sunday and Monday. In the meantime, I wanted to touch base on two topics. 

First, on Patreon rewards. Meet the Zalran bandits (or at least 95% of them). I need to add a bit more to the bandit on the right, but these three misfits are the results of the first $20 Patron drawing I performed in January. They are quite the bunch, let me tell you. An...

The Nostalgia Update

The Nostalgia Update:  I thought I would take a trip down memory lane. Figured people might find how YummyTiger Gaming came to fruition interesting.

July 2013: Aylia is born. I picked up RPG Maker in April/May 2013, and thought I would try my hand at building an RPG. As I tend to have grandiose ideas, I knew it would not be a simple...

Chapter 1 Information

Hello again! 

Progress, progress, progress. My upgraded computer is running excellent, and I've been working diligently whenever I can spare a moment. I really, really want to get Chapter 1 in your guys' hands. I think you all will love it. In my mind, the biggest complaint will probably be it is not enough :-). 

-Progress Estimate Removed- (MiB)

Final comments: I would be interested in what people think of the red background over the battle field. I want...
