Weekly Progress Report (November 25th 2020)

GN:TT - Making more art in preparation of Giggle Night!  This is the Zookeeper, and she has an army of mammalian mutants at her command!  I'll eventually put them all on one teaser picture, but I finished her and all of the enemies for her zone, The Zoo.

D:BB - The game mode is still being tweaked by the programmer, progress continues!

SB:C - Progress is continuing here as well!  I tested Justine T3 and T4 and the...

Weekly Progress Report (November 20th 2020)

GN:TT - As you can see here, I have been making Giggle Night characters!  As with D:BB this initial pre-art creation will be very time consuming, but will make updates much easier as I'll already have characters ready to go when needed for a scene!  As last week, I have also streamed several times in Discord for those that want to see the process in action.

D:BB - I actually tested the Museum Game Mode hunt tonight and it went perfectly! &nbs...

My Render Lighting

TLDR; Just tell me if you like the one on the left or right best- and thank you!

For all of D:BB, F:CoC, and SB:C, I have used the same basic lighting setup due to a number of reasons.  With less light it makes darker shadows, takes less time to render, add more versatility for scenes, and this all means that I have a faster workflow for hundreds and thousands of renders, which means faster updates!  However, before starting Giggle Night, I thought I would get everyone's opin...

Weekly Progress Report (November 14th 2020)

GN:TT - I have began making the super heroes and villains of Giggle Night: Trixie's Trial!  I have been streaming the development over Discord, and it has been fun.  I cannot stream every day, but you never know when I might start streaming so make sure you are in Discord!  Shown above is a wasp mutant known as Queen Vespine (Vespīn).  She is but one of many super villains Trix will encounter on her trials to become a true hero!  Of course, this open...

Weekly Progress Report (November 5th 2020)

D:BB - Work is progressing on the updated Game Mode!  I am also going through and fixing any grammar issues or other issues with the story mode.  By the time the final release is public it will be polished and superb!

SB:C - I shared the very first ever, alpha release of SB:C last week!  It has been a resounding success for such a bare-bones alpha release, so I expect it to generate even more hubbub as updates begin.  As with my oth...

Which font for SB:C?

Vote on the poll for which of these is the most legible- not size wise as I can make them all larger, but which reads easiest to you?  I do not know if I will select the winner or not, but I am on the fence about them and thought I'd get some incite from fans.

Weekly Progress Report (October 15th 2020)

D:BB - Things are proceeding here on Game Mode.  The programmer helping me, ShadowCode, has been working on streamlining all the hunts.  It has been a lot of work for him, but also for me as I have had to go back and rewrite ALL dialogue for the fights in Game Mode, but it is worth it.  It's looking sharp!  I cannot wait to have those of you investors that enjoy Game Mode testing it out for me.  We'll work together to make it balanced- but somewhat ch...

SB:C - As you can see above, the new Slugs and Bugs Ren'py game is underway and looking good!  I will probably release a VERY rough initial release for the Halloween treat this year!

D:BB - NEW RELEASE IMMINENT!  Story Mode COMPLETE!  I sent it over to my volunteer programmer to shore up a couple of things and I will release.  I need to add a few more paragraphs to some of the character unlocks, but as you can see already, it has more than half a million words!  So, $30 and up patrons, enjoy yourself!  As soon as I have it uploaded, it is all yours!

Weekly Progress Report (September 24th 2020)

D:BB - I finished writing all the story mode!  So, as of next week, at the latest, I believe I can begin issuing the new release to my $30 and up patrons and begin the trickle down!  This release will have the entire story mode, all the character unlocks, all the final vampire BE's, and possibly the museum Game Mode (for those that want to test it).  It's basically based on when the programmer ShadowCode can get me the HTML file.  All I ha...

D:BB - Yes, that is the most powerful witch in the Anaxverse- the sandwich!  Just kidding!  #thereisnosandwich will trend as soon as I launch D:BB I am sure!  Mwa ha ha ha!  Anyway, I did get all the character unlocks done, got all the renders for the story mode for tunnels finished and I am currently writing the story mode.  As I made the last few renders of the game, I was really feel emotions- rare for me.  I am elated and proud.  I am al...

Weekly Progress Report (September 10th 2020)

D:BB - Ok, update on the programming situation is that I do believe Game Mode will proceed.  Things currently look good.  I did finish all the Character Unlocks and I have been rendering (as you can see) all the Story Mode for the finale.  I think I'll be done today, if my little puppy Rosie can sit still long enough!  Then over the next week I will write it up!  This is just getting more exciting to me by the day as the end draws ever closer!

Quick Update on D:BB Features

The programmer that was graciously helping me on D:BB may not be able to help me anymore with some of the features that I showed everyone.  If he can, it will be awesome, but due to circumstances, the project may not quite be as polished as I had hoped.  Also, I want to set the expectation that I may not be able to finish Game Mode, and I may not be able to create Game Modes on future titles now.  It's amazing how one small, infinitesimal, and even innocent thing can have such ...

D:BB - I am showcasing in the image some of the new features that are currently being implemented for finale release.  I finished the first draft of the character unlocks as well, and I just want everyone to see how much work is going in to the last release, so thank you all for your patience.  I want to present you with the best entertainment that I can!  I will now begin rendering the scenes for the final hunt's Story Mode and the Epilogue, so things are comi...

D:BB - WHEW!  The character unlocks proceed my dear fans.  As of this moment I just wrote the last R and I am about to start the S's of which there are the most of all letters.  Right now I am at 98,326 words of lore in the unlocks.  While I love this, I have to say, I can't wait to be done and get back to doing some art or something!  I am still estimating the whole thing will be about 150k words on the character unlocks.  Also, my programmer fa...

Giggle Night won the poll!  So, you investors have spoken!  That means after it, OSAS is the automatic next novel!

D:BB - To set the expectations, I am am now thinking D:BB will not be completed until sometime in September.  
I always try to be honest and upfront with investors.  If that changes, I'll definitely pass the word along, and speaking of words... I have written 31,681 words on the Character Sheets for D:BB, and I am only in the E's!  ...

Giggle Night Won Investor Poll!

The wonderful, selfless folks that support my hard work with their hard earned money have spoken, and Giggle Night: Trixie's Trial will be the next Anaxverse interactive novel!  For the first time in, I think, ever, we did not hit a tie, rather, it was a fairly large margin!
