Night Cis 🛏

Cis - enjoying the solid, virtuous sleep of a successful day and a job well done 😊

This was very much my mood upon both falling asleep and waking. Yesterday, our little crew headed over to St Andrews - a lovely university town (which claims to be a city 😁) to check out the crumbling ruins of the cathedral and make an urgent raiding trip on the bookshops 📚 We were lucky to have some local knowledge with us on the trip... a lovely lady who’d studied in St Andrews some years ago...

Night Cole 🛏

😂 Poor Cole’s having a bit of an uncomfortable night... I’ll have to start being nicer to him in Phase 2 😜

I might not be going through quite the same emotional turmoil as our blonde bombshell, but this pic still reflects my night... Yesterday we went for a long walk along the Fife coast - an absolutely beautiful landscape that I took absolutely no pictures of (silly RanliLabz). 

We started on the nearest beach, hopping between the jutting rocks and shallow...

Night Fatima 🛏

The second of my sleep posts... the lovely Fatima bint Safa 😀 One of the things I really like about Fatima is her confidence, and that comes through even in unconsciousness! I’ve always liked people that ‘just don’t give a fuck’ - I’m a bit shy myself, and I admire Fatimas sense of self and fearlessness... even if it can be a bit tactless sometimes. 🦸🏾‍♀️

I’m also picking the pics to reflect my current holiday mood... and this is the hangover post 😂 I�...

Night MC 🛏

I write to you today from the wilds of Scotland! Aye, that’s right... Ranlilabz is on holiday (first in 2 years!) 😁 Hopefully a week away from the computer should ease my RSI - but I’ll still be working on the script and communicating here, as well as on discord and f95.

The place I’m in is a wee town called cellardyke (seriously 😂 that’s its name) - a gorgeous little fishing village by the sea. Since I usually feel guilty for not working at least 10 hours a day, I fig...

SpaceCorps XXX v0.3.2b REMASTER - Public Release

It's out! 😀

The Last of the Remasters means that SpaceCorps is now all up to an even quality! Please note that this update is not a continuing storyline, but begins in the first Decontamination scene and ends before you go into the Hangarbay. I hope you find the new images as satisfying an improvement as I did! [PS - next update, the story will continue]

CHANGELOG:
-744 Remastered images in: Decontamination,...

The Odds & Sods Character Poll 🗳

Whoa! It's been a looong time since we've had a character poll here!

Since we've now met all named characters appearing in Phase 1, it's time to vote on the final batch. This will be the last of the group-stage character polls - and the winners will enter the quarter-finals to start finding out the most popular SpaceCorps character. 🕺🏻

Vote for as many of the options as you like - we don't mind a bit of ballot-stuffing down at the S...

Absurdly Early v0.3.3 Teaser 😁

Okay - I was going to do a dev diary about the Remaster today... but I'm a massive  flibbertigibbet, and am far too excited about the new scenes to go over old ground 😃. I can't express how pleased I am to be creating entirely fresh content again! 🥰

Yep - the storyline is back on track and the renders are already pouring out of the Beast. This one is actually the second scene - in which you find yourself 2020-08-06 23:05:51 +0000 UTC View Post

v0.3.2b REMASTER All Patron Release! 👨🏻‍🎨

It's out! 😁

- 8 major scenes completely remastered - 744 new or improved pics - 8 new animations - 1 injured wrist 😂 -

I'm going to write more about this in the next dev diary. For now, the only really important pieces of info are that this is the last remaster update (i.e. it's storyline updates from hereon in!); and that it begins in the first 2020-07-31 23:03:35 +0000 UTC View Post

All Patron Teaser 😜

And you know what that means - Early Release day is close! 🥳

I now stagger one-handed and one-eyed towards the finishing line. Yup, one eyed - in addition to my RST I also have an eye problem. Do NOT get Covid... it screws up your health for months! 😱 With my lockdown hair and health issues, a generous soul might say I look like a dashing pirate 🏴‍☠️ Crueller types might suggest Quasimodo 🔔😂

Anyways, I figured that I'd show you just h...

v0.3.2b Remastered Teaser: Down on the Farm 🍎

Just a quick tease of an additional fantasy I'll be including in the remaster - in which MC 'imagines' Fatima's life on the farm.

I don't go into this in the game, but I have some thoughts behind this scene. As you know, the Backcountry of Ganymede is in a near permanent night - hence the Banu Safa's white hair. However, for one month every Jupiterian year, the Backcountry of Ganymede is in conjunction with the Sun, the orbital Solar arrays and the reflected light of Io - a mon...

Some more random porn I've made! 🦧

As I limp towards the finishing line of the update, I thought I'd share some more random porn I made! 😋This has all been posted up on Discord and f95, but I reckon it's worth posting here for anyone who missed it! The Quagmire one was for a contest (😂I won) - but apologies for any nightmares caused! 😱

Fixed Walkthrough 🗺

So, despite the dodgy hand, ✊🏻 I've still been able to get a little work done... and part of that has been adapting the walkthroughs to account for the changes made last update. Lol - changing things is always harder than doing them from scratch... especially when you're trying to do graphics with your non-dominant hand! 😬

So as you can see, this is the adapted current walkthrough. If you then pick the m/m storyline, you'll get this instead:

Just some Porn I made 😂

Since I'm a bit laid low with my RSI, I figured I'd post up some pics from the Discord renderclub (I know not all of you use the server!) This is the first tranche of generally superhero-related pics I designed for a competition on another server 🦸‍♂️

The last of the goal reward animations, and something for the Sam-fans out there 😉 

v0.3.2b Teaser... Futas in Hell 🍖😈

Lol - just finished the 'Futa Selection' sequence from the first corridor. It was the scene in the game I was least happy with... pretty basic for our first introduction to the Dark Realm and the Futa choice (I've included a pic of the old scene below). You've seen plenty of the Hellscape, of course, in the other scenes... I love the asset I use for this, but lighting is unbelievably hard! 😂 I have 15 different spotlights in the scene.

Cock of the Walk 🐓

Now there's a smile you don't see everyday! 😁

Cole may be a bit of a jerk, but I can't begrudge him a moment's joy... even if he'll be returning to normal size and grumpiness inside the game 😂. He won my very unscientific poll of which character you'd like to see getting big - just squeaking ahead of Sammy boy.

But not to fret, Samfans!  😜  So many of you suggested him for the animation, that I'm going to do one for him anyway... should be out in 3 days...

Goal Reward (f/m) - Fatimazon 💪🏻

Fatima gets pumped!

This is the f/m instalment of the rewards for helping me achieve the last goal - one for the amazon lovers out there! 😀 It's just a flight of fancy - no changes are planned to her character in game - but you know I've always had a soft-spot for muscle-girls 😊

Thanks again for helping me reach this next step in the game 🥰 - and you'll be seeing the m/m reward at the very start of July (either Sam or Cole (if you haven't 'voted' yet, say...

Dear Dev Diary - June 2020 📖

Dev Diary Time! 😊

Wow – if I’d known how well the Remaster was going to go, I would have done it earlier 😂 We’ve seen a whole tonne of new patrons join us this month – welcome on board, guys! – and busted straight through the last goal 🥰

I was actually quite nervy about the Remaster – in my experience as a player, remasters are often a sign that the dev has: a) run out of ideas; b) lost faith in their project; or c) is too muc...

Notes from a Remaster 👨🏻‍💻 - Raz & the Widow Mulligan

Since Raz & Mrs Mulligan haven't appeared on Patreon for a while, I figured I'd share the remastered fantasy sequence from Decontamination. The homesteads around Branson's Dome are really coming to life!

GOAL ACHIEVED! SpaceCorps is Growing 💪🏻

Thanks to you guys, SpaceCorps is growing - surpassing the $4000 goal! 🤗 I can barely express my gratitude for the support you've all given me in helping to fund this project... hypercharging what might just have been an enjoyable hobby into a full-time gig that I can devote all my attention to 😍 

So I made a comedy cock-growth animation instead 😂

As far as the goal requirements go, I am growing too... using the additional money to annex the single room next to mine ...

v0.3.2a REMASTER is OUT! 🥳

It's out! 😁

Right - I'm incredibly eager to hear what you think of this... not just the remastered images and the new paths, but also how you find the new personnel files. 😀 Let me know in the comments below, or click the like button on the post! ❤

Remember - the new content appears at the beginning of the game, and this is only part 1 of the Remaster (I still have the Decon and second Corridor scene to go!) For anyone who ends up...

v0.3.2a Remaster - FINAL Teaser 💭 (5 pics)

Time for the final teaser before Early Release. Yay! 😁

You already saw some of the revamped fantasies in the last teaser, but I figured I'd concentrate on them in this post. That's mainly to avoid giving any spoilers on the new path - but also because variety is the spice of life! 😂 As you can see, new backgrounds have appeared in the fantasies - with more detail of the landscapes of Volchak, Ganymede and Phlaxis - and the difference between Fantasies and Mindmeld...

v0.3.2a Remaster Teaser 2 - 👀 (5 pics)

Careful which door you go through on the way to Decon 😄

I've also been revamping the fantasies... you can check out some of the images (without the 'cloud' surround as they'll appear in game) in the little pictures above 😀

Art Poll - Artifical Light vs Natural Light 💡

The first part of the Remaster is almost complete - meaning that I have to start making the renders for the second stage... and here I will need your help!

This relates to the second Corridor scene (where MC plays a porn game on the laptop and gets caught jerking off by Gilly and Sarge). Test renders have created an interesting quandary in a rather dark scene - do I make the scene in natural lighting, or enhanced with artificial lightin...

Progress Update - v0.3.2a Remaster

Hello All!

Since it's the start of June, I figured I'd update you all with news about 0.3.2a. Progress is coming along very nicely, and it should be with you within the week 😀

For those of you who haven't seen the teasers so far, you can expect quite a few things in this update, including:
1) A full remaster of the images in the first Medbay scene and the first Corridor scene to bring them up to later game quality (i.e. the scenes w...

UI Revamp: Virtual Stable & Personnel Files 👨🏻‍💻

Hello crew! 😀Time for that promised post about some of the UI changes I've been making over here at Schloss Labz 🏰 I've actually done rather a lot - advancing the Integrated Walkthrough to the end of the Brig scene, adding new synthetics and aliens to their respective screen, etc. But for now, I'll concentrate on the revamp of the Virtual Stable, and the new Personnel Files! 👩🏻‍💼👨🏻‍💼
