5/3/17 and Respite

So I got's about 1 week of downtime from school, so hopefully I can get some major work in the game coming up. I've just finished making the base parts for the interface and now I have to set up the placement in the actual game. This means I set up where the pictures appear down to the pixel, load the game, run the gui event,  see where they line up and then go back and adjust until I get it right. It usually takes about 5-7 tries before it's golden, but afterward I just set every other var...

5/2/17 and M-Butts

 Howdy. Quick update regarding the game's progress. After I finished the variations of standard female butts I drew up these same variations of male butts. That took a lot of surfing through gay porn, so you'd better be grateful you little brats! 

These will probably be the two used for the main character, since they are generic enough to be used that way. You might have noticed that since their shoulders are showing in these profiles, they look almost naked in each scene. I got you ...

First Batch

This was done in between the last post and this one. I think they are a big improvement over the last profile. Can you are tell that their shoulders are supposed to be seen? I'm going to probably make 4 standard variations, peachy, olive, dark, and pale. Pale isn't shown in this picture, but it will be a more "ginger" tone, and will have freckles. Making variations in color is much easier than I expected, I may make it possible to have special profiles for characters with other distinguishing ch...

"Research"...

I get paid to do this now.

4/27/17 and Bootay

Quick mini update about more of the progress I want to make with the game. I've finished all of the images that will be used for the new interface, with the exception of one, and need to only re-appropriate which pictures get shown during the stat changes. The final picture I haven't made yet, is the one everyone is most interested in, and is the butt indicator. What I have planned is a more detailed indicator for whatever character is being used. First and foremost is different skin colors, inc...

4/26/17 and F*cking Delays

Hey errywahn. It's been a while since I posted an update. To be honest nothing much has changed with the game. I've been busy with school since my last post, and have an exam in about 8 hours that I've been studying for. Even after that, I have another exam I'll need to put in work for a week after. The good news is that once I finish this last revamp of the interface, I'll be able to start work on the game proper again. 

A bit of new game news is that I've experimented with the way "gabs...

Snake Pike

The last interface was shit, that was a shit interface.

Here is a 70% complete or so template of the new interface. I think you can guess what goes in the center.

Sneek Peak

...of the new interface design. The boxes are a rough location of where certain indicators will go. I'm planning on it being more appropriate for the setting, but I won't spoil much more. 

In the actual game, I fixed most of the bugs with the spanking events, like moving while clicking and what not. I also made a switch that makes the actual spanking parts automatic instead of a manual click or button press. I'll make a way to turn it on or off in game too.

4/19.5/17 and Conflicts

I was gonna do this post like 5 hours ago, but patreon shat the bed. Basically, just wanted to update you all that I'm hella busy and won't have any major developments or things to show off in the near future. Since I saw a lot of contrasting opinions on the demo so far back at the site, I set up a poll to get some more concrete answers. A lot of people wanted more detail in the figures, some wanted less, some wanted them gone altogether, and some just don't give a fuck. After tallying a few of ...

4/17/17 and progress...?

Back to our regularly scheduled update. 

I haven’t done much development on the game recently, been doing a lot of PR back on the forums. I’ve also been working on reorganizing the variables and switches of the game. It takes time, and is quite the sensitive operation, but I think it’s worth the time. Make sure that my framework is correct and orderly is the difference between sending out an organized model kit, where all the pieces are in the right place and kept order...

4/15/17 and DEMO 2!!!

 http://www.mediafire.com/file/i657tgeyomvfrfy/ja.rar 

Here's the second demo!

Things are looking a lot more polished, and even though the vast majority of work this update was done under the hood, there are still some things I think you all will like in this demo. 

In particular, I'd like suggestions for the new graphic that appears in the player-top spankin...

4/14/17 and Da Balance

https://youtu.be/JmkeCxiEwtE?t=1m26s

Hold up!

I almost went a day without an update. Sorta sleep deprived, so whatever grammar errors come, so be it.

Most of today was spent polishing the events still. It's been a pain in the ass trying to balance all of the variable changes in the actions the player takes (hence the title and url). I think I worked out a system that should hold for the time being. I've co...

The Good, the Bad, and 4/13/17

Just a short update this time. In terms of progress with the game, I'm about 85% done with the framework of a spank-er event, and the revisions I'm making with the spank-ee event should only take about 1/5th of the time. 

But I have good news and bad news. 

Bad news, development will slow down for the upcoming weekend. I have a lot of work to do with school coming up.

Good news is the little feature I teased earlier is totally possible, and I just tested the prototype of ...

4/12/17 and the winner.

I spent most of the day today making more developments on the spanking scene framework, and coming up with ideas for more features down the line. I have a pretty solid idea about a mini-game that will be accessible right from the start of the game, and it should give a good degree more of depth with the standard game play. I've also been putting a lot of thought into a mechanic in the spanking scenes which I've never disclosed to anyone, and I don't plan on it until I figure out if it's even pos...

4/11/17 and Milestone

Hey everyone, 

The 100$ milestone took no time at all to meet, I guess the lack of a monthly payment over peoples heads means they're more likely to pledge higher, the rewards probably had something to do with it too.

Regardless, I'd like to thank you all for the support of the game and me. It means a lot to know I can make something people will throw money at.

In the milestone, I offered both the lottery for a reward and the added feature of cross-dressing in the game. The lo...

4/10/17 and Follow Up

The pledges I get after every update has been increasing at a dangerously high rate ever since I made the reward tiers. I'm glad I limited a lot of the tiers, because otherwise I could end up with too many requests to add. If anyone has unlocked a tier and I haven't contacted you within like 24 hours, message me so we can discuss the reward.

Back to game development. I haven't got a lot of feedback on the newest version, but I already know most of what I need to improve on. I'm in the middle o...

Demo #1

http://www.mediafire.com/file/i657tgeyomvfrfy/ja.rar

Here it is. It's pretty jank at the moment (like an alpha of a beta jank), but I wanted to get it out as soon as I could. The only things of note are in the Inn, and there is 1 scene with the innkeeper (who works as she will in the full game for the most part) and Lora (who is just there to show off the new system). Both events should work okay, but ...

4/9/17 and Rewards

I finally came up with some ideas for the reward tiers. I underestimated the potential support I'd get for the game, so I want to come up with some means of rewarding those people who are generous enough to give to me. 

Each tier also gets access to the same benefits as the ones below it, even if the limit is reached.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The lowest at 1$ means that any patron will get an early access of the next...

4/8/17 and Presentation

Today, I spent most of my time working on the game to make a proper title screen. Not the most exciting development for you all, but it definitely makes the game seem more professional. One other thing that doesn't sit well with me is how I still just end up using game ost's for the music. But a composer I am not, so that will have to stay the same for the time being.

You all will only be seeing the title screen when I release my first demo of the new system (which should be in a few days time...

4/7/17 and Eureka

A super early preview of my idea that came literally 3 seconds after finishing the last version :/

The icons on the side looked okay, but clashed with the background and were just plain ugly. This new interface works the same way, replacing photos as stats change. But this one just pastes an image right onto the doll. 

Missing from picture: Spanker emotion window (which will be the same as the spankee's, but pointed upwards next to the spankee's head.), a layer of clothing which goe...

4/6/17 and First Scene

I just about finished the first ever spanking scene in the revamped version. The hard part was knowing how everything would fit, now I have an established template adding new ones should take loads less time. One thing I still have to work on as of this post is how the reactions of the player during the spanking carry over and effect relations with the spanker afterward. I already have modifiers for the control stat (dominance or submissiveness) of the npc for actions like whether you cry, argue...

4/4/17 and Reactions

I finally was able to get to work on some of the ideas I've been sharing with y'all and I can report some progress. Firstly, I've set up the first NPC with all of the means to increase your familiarity with them as well as initiate a spanking event. The actual event is becoming very tricky. I know what I want to do, but it takes a lot of work getting to that point, both in terms of programming and design. You've all seen the prototype GUI that I showed off back at the start of this patreon, and ...

Update 4/1/17

So I'm back at mission command! But spring break ends in 1 day, there goes all my work time. I don't have much of a game update to discuss, but I wanted to just express the sincerest of gratitude for those who have pledged or donated to me so far. I don't know what I expected when I started my patreon, but it wasn't this! I can say with some certainty that this is the first time I've received money for something I've made with my own hands (more like fingers in this case). Also in connection to ...

Update 3/31/17

So I meant to post again yesterday, but came down with something bad and couldn't even manage to sit up, let alone make a post.

Anyway, back to the topic I meant to cover. So erotic and fun spankings have essentially the same goal, and is polar to a punishment spanking. Where in a punishment you are aiming to make the spankee as unhappy as possible, erotic and fun spanking you are trying to increase their happiness. Of course, since these targets are 9/10 times masochists, you accomplish this ...

Update 3/29/17 (a continuation)

...as I was saying. So if the exhaustion is the limit for the spanking, what determines the success of the spanking? Well that is decided by the emotion of the spankee at the end of the scene, and the circumstances behind the spanking in the first place. They way I see it at the moment, is that 3 possible basic situations exist: punishment, fun, and erotic. The punishments work in a simple way, you want to move the spankee's emotion to a "punished" state. This means the spankee's emotion stat is...

Update for 3/28/17 and beyond.

I forgot to put out a progress report for yesterday because of my preparations for a trip, which took place today. Since I couldn't bring my desktop with me, and I'm relegated to my crappy laptop I won't be able to do any work on the game for the next few days. 

That being said, I have done a lot of work with setting up the first actual spanking scene. The vast majority of the work I've done so far has been for the framework of the new system, which is a helluva jump in complexity. <...

Update 3/26/17

I've done a lot of work with the first npc interactions, and I really have my work cut out for me. The amount of variations from all of the stats for just one character is really astounding. The first inn keeper who already had one of the most complex events is at least twice as big, and I'm not even finished. One snag that came up is the issue of the self variables not carrying over to the same character in another room, since they are technically different events. Because of this, important ch...

Reflection upon experimentation.

A late night special update. I've been messing with the behavior, control, and familiarity options in an npc's dialogue for the first time, and I have to say this new system opens up a lot of potential for future work. I've only reworked the Inn keeper in Tungsten slightly, and have made huge adjustments in this one character. Currently, I have set up 6 familiarity levels. Each increase in the level will require a more bold action to bond with the npc. Your first increase from 0-1 just involves ...

First look at GUI

This right here is a sneak peak of what I've spent the last 2 days on. Some of the stuff is a bit sloppy, like I meant to clear that gold window up in the corner, and make a new icon for the gold as well. I think I'm going to try and move the guy's hand back into frame so it's not behind the status windows. In a perfect world, the windows would be animated, but we don't live in a perfect world, DO WE? Anyway, so the idea is that the windows will change during the spanking after each step taken. ...

Update 3/24/17

I've decided to do updates whenever I make significant progress. For a while they may be daily, but who knows.

After getting a lot of background code done for things like the auto healing, damage causing, and general spanking event processes, I ended up with a system involving 12 different states possible that indicate butt damage. These states are reachable in a 100 point system which starts at 0 and ends at 100. While I could have just had a 10 point system with the same results, 100 points ...
