(5/29/18) Day 7 and Expression Test

Hey everyone. As you can see from the poor quality video above, I've finished the expressions and put them into the game. For both the male and female player characters. Right now I'm working on finishing the UI. Actually, I'm working on a new setup since I found the one I used above too distracting in the center of the screen. Now I'm going to have the interface be two parts on each side, one with a face window and one with a butt window. There's not much else to talk about now. I'll have the U...

(5/28/18) Day 6 and Planning Ahead

Hey everybody. I'm posting early because I probably won't have any new progress to show off tonight. Half of that reason is because this next step is taking a lot of work before it can get into the game, and the other half is because I spent most of the day helping my brother and his girlfriend moving furniture and cleaning around our apartment. 

With the expressions I was working on, I had some trouble thinking about how I was going to organize them. I've decided that I'm going to have t...

(5/27/18) Day 5 and Portraits + UI

Hi everyone. Comin' at you live from my hobbit cave of game making. Well, live at the time of this post.

It's coming up on a week into my break, and I think I've made a lot of progress. The video above previews how conversations will look in the new system, with a finished text box and portrait too! The only thing missing is the expression of the player character, which I'll probably spend most of tomorrow on. However, tomorrow is also Memorial day, a well known American holiday for any of my ...

(5/26/18) Day 4 and Text

Hey everyone. 

It's a bit late tonight, but most of you read these the next day anyway :/

I was able to finish the male character sprite, and inserted both into the game. There wasn't much to see there, so I didn't bother making a video. After that I spent a long time trying to make it so you can turn the player on a key-tap without moving, but I couldn't figure it out. Instead I just did a simple fix where you can turn in place by holding the shift-key down. I'll probably change it...

(5/25/18) Day 3 and Female Character Sprite

Yo! After a minor setback, I ended up having to reformat most of the tiles again, although in a much easier and less time consuming manner. You can see the fruits of those labors above, where I have the first framework of Maria's house done. You can see the itty bitty Maria sprite as well, which I crafted up using the character generator of RPGMaker and inserted her frames into a character for the game already. 

The second half of my work today went toward the character sprite of the fema...

(5/24/18) Day 2 and Tilesheets Done

Wow, there was waaay more wall tiles than I expected. I only barely got them all finished by tonight. I already loaded them images into the project, and tested them out alright. I drafted up Maria's house from SQI as well, but hadn't put in the furniture yet, so didn't think of showing it off. I think tomorrow I'll work on loading all of the tilesheets into the project and finish Maria's house, then also work on Maria's higher resolution sprite and maybe start working on her character portrait a...

(5/23/18) Day 1, and Tilesheets

Hi everyone, pictured above is what I spent all day on. I'm in the middle of formatting all of the tilesheets from RPGmaker over to Construct 2, and it's dull, and tedious work. Perfect for someone coming down from a week of finals. Unfortunately, it isn't just copy/pasting them over to a new document. Since RPGmaker had it's own software interpret the tilesheets, I had to sort of fill in the blanks that were done automatically before. The manipulation itself isn't hard to do, but it is time con...

5/23/18 Stream

I'm just going to be editing the RPGMaker Tilesets so they will work in Construct. Nothing fancy, but drop in if you're bored.

5/22/18 and FREEDOM

Hey everyone, I'm glad to say that I've made it through my finals and school year alive (barely), and I'm ready to go overdrive on the game. There is a good amount of stuff I have left to do, but I'm going to do my best to get the first gameplay demo out in a month. Ideally this will include overworld player movement and interaction with npcs, fully working pause menu, and two spanking scenes, one top and one bottom, each fully working as intended for the final product. The only major thing I ha...

5/15/18 and Final Portraits v.1

Hoo~ Alright, that'll do for now.

Here are the final designs and style I'll be using for the portrait art from now on. It's not great, but it's a definite improvement from my last attempts. There are still things I know I need to fix, like the arm/hand and the facial expression, hence the v.1. However, those improvements will have to wait until my semester ends.

I put a lot more work into the female character's design because I felt I kind of half-assed it with my last attempt. All of th...

5/14/18 and Art Progression 3

Hey everyone, 

I meant to get out a finished version of both character options today, but I've been pretty busy and it just didn't happen. I have my last normal class lecture before finals tomorrow, I gotta sleep. Until then, enjoy a preview the final redesign of the female player character for SQI. By tomorrow night, I'll definitely post the finished versions of both.

Ciao.

5/12/18 and Art Progression Pt. 2

A bit of a sneak peak for the updated redesign of the male SQI player character that I'll be using for the demo.

5/12/18 and Art Progression

Hey peeps, it's been a while.

I've been stewing over school, planning for the game, and working on the art style for SQII. Between those 3, it's been hard to focus on one thing and show off any substantial progress, but here's something. Some of you might have seen this on the Aotk discord the other day where I posted it to the WIP section. This is my attempt at a high-res anime style for the artwork for the game. Originally for Discipline Delivered, what I did was draw all of the art in resol...

5/8/18 and... Decision?

Hi again everyone. I know I said before that I'd comment on this in a few days, but the response honestly speaks for itself at this point, and I doubt there will be any substantial changes.. The trends for both polls were almost identical, a vast majority of both groups would be willing to support other projects every now and then, as long as I get Spanquest II in order first. With the $1 patrons, there was more leaning toward focusing on SQII entirely, and with the $5 patrons there was more of ...

5/8/18 and Poll Postings

Hey everyone, sorry for spamming 3 posts right after another, but I wanted to clarify something. To better understand what everyone is interested in me from the future, and what you'd be willing to support, I opened 2 polls. One will be open to all patrons, and the other will be open to those who pledged $5 or more. These polls are identical, but I want to get an idea of the interests between these two groups, and naturally the $5 group will have slightly more influence over my decision. From th...

5/8/18 and Follow Up Poll for $1 Patrons

From the responses that I got, I think I have a got idea of how I will progress from now on, but I want to get a quick tally of what everyone thinks before I make anything final. This poll will also be only open to Patrons for obvious reasons. I'll also be making two separate polls, one where if you have been a patron for $1, and another for over $5, just to get an idea if the opinions of either group follow the same thinking or not. The options will be the same in each.

5/7/18 and Game Jam Aftermath

Hello again everyone.

So, the game jam has come and gone, Godspeak might have posted the winner by now, or will do so shortly. Last I checked, the poll on the thead on aotk had me a few points behind T_Rugen's game, so I doubt that changed. Regardless of how it measured up to all the other entries, I'm glad I made this game. I learned a lot more about Contruct 2, and really hit my peak productivity that week, even with an albeit light week at school. Also, another notable thing is that I earne...

5/6/18 and Discipline Delivered (alpha)

Hey everyone! I proud to announce and release the first alpha version of my submission to the game jam on Aotk, Discipline Delivered.

I hadn't posted any updates with it recently because I wanted to keep some of it a surprise, but here we are. Some parts are rough around the edges, but with the time constraint I was surprised with what I finished. Unfortunately there isn't any story or direction at the moment, you just pick one of the cases and play through it. Although all of the tools are th...

5/3/18 and Game Jam Day 4

Hey folks. I was at school pretty much all day today, but I still got something together to show before the day is done. What you see above is the "level select" screen of the game. I realized recently that we're already half way through the event and you all don't know about the setting behind the game yet! 

To fit with the theme of the game jam (paperwork), the game takes place in the future, where for certain reasons (which will be revealed later) spanking has once again become commonp...

5/2/18 and Game Jam Day 3!

Okay, it's only 2PM right now, but this will likely be all I get done for today because I have other stuff I gotta do in the mean time :/

That doesn't mean I'm slacking off though, I've been working on this since I woke up today and have a lot to show off, as you can see above. First off, I switched to the facial portraits that I talked about last post, currently there are 7 for each character even though the video only shows one. 3 are more positive reactions, and 3 are more negative. They wi...

5/1/18 and Game Jam Day 2

All right, that will do for today. 

I spent a lot of time working on the "note" and sensor graphics. From messing around with the visual effects I got a cute butt shaking effect on the "sensor" area near the bottom. I tried doing a similar thing with the actual spanking graphic, but that didn't work out so well. I'm honestly debating not having the full sized graphic animation, and replacing it with a larger UI that has more detailed facial expressions, and instead having the "sensor" are...

4/30/18 and Game Jam Day 1

Time for a week of new game development!

It's a bit rough around the edges, but not bad for a day of work I'd say. I was hesitant with the spanking animation, but it turned out okay in the end, so now I'll be able to devote more time to it in the end. Luckily the main game play is easy to code for this, so I can spend more time on the art. Next I'll probably work on the note frequency and detection, then the note and sensor graphics.

4/29/18 and Maximum Overdrive

Hey peeps. I know, short time between posts right? As of now, I not only have finished the stat submenu in the Sumaki stone, but I've also completed the pause menu for the time being. What that means, is that I can get started on the spanking system for X/Player scenes right now. As always, the scenes where the player are spanked are easier to code out than the ones where the player spanks, since they are given less control. That being the case, my previous goal of having the demo out at the end...

4/28/18 and Save System Showcase

Finished the save system. It's a bit wonky, but it works. Currently I set space for 10 slots, but I can potentially have infinite. I might skip the settings and exit option, since there isn't much to change at the moment. Next I'll probably start working on the final menu section, the Sumaki Stone. For the stone, there will be 2 final submenus, one will be the player's statistics page, where everything from your current stats to how many spanks you've given/received will be displayed. The other ...

4/28/18 and Saving/Spanking

Hey everyone,

I felt like doing a little update today with what I've been working on/planning. Over the course of last night and this morning, I've been planning how the spanking scenes will work when the player is in the bottom position. I had a rough idea of how I wanted to handle things in the past, but I finally put my ideas down on paper (or a document file in this case) and I'll be set to start working on it after I finish my work with the pause menu. I won't go over the entire system no...

4/26/18 and Return

Hoo, made it in time. 

I actually redrew her clothes because I didn't like my original design, so it took longer than I expected. As you could probably guess, this is the body portrait for the female main character. The design isn't great, but it'll be temporary for when I can spend more time on it, and it's an okay gender swap of what the male main character had on. Zekel did a big favor for me, and red-lined my original draft which I improved on, and thanks to him I got a design that I ...

4/24/18 and Progress Update

Hey everyone, it's been the longest time since I've posted anything for a while. For half of last week I was sick with a virus, and then after 1 day of being well I had crazy allergies which kept me from doing hardly anything, and that really hit me this week with my course work. This week is pretty busy for me, I had an exam today and have a presentation on Thursday in addition to the work I normally have due every week. Despite that, I'll hopefully have something to show soon that I think will...

4/20/18 and Quest Preview/Tier Adjustment

Hi again everyone,

Today I finished my prototype of the quest log system in the game. As you can see from the video above, it's one of the sections of your journal, which also includes character info and the map. These other two tabs will be worked on next. For what I have so far right now, you select a quest to get more info on it. From there you can see its completion, description, and next steps in the quest (which will update as you progress).

Secondly, you might have noticed but I h...

4/16/18 and Menu Preview

Hey folks.

Not a big reveal today, but I decided how I'll organize the next set of menus. This includes an active quest log (showing rewards, persons of interest, progress, etc.), character database (gives small descriptions of characters you've interacted with), and a map (Which will also have details on areas you've visited).

I won't be posting anything for at least a week or so, since I'll be very busy at school. Also I've come down with some sort of virus. Nothing deadly...

4/15/18 and Equipment Prototype

Yo everyone, I finally managed to finish a functioning equipment menu/system. The game now successfully handles giving, taking, and equipping equipment. I still have to make the icon art for each piece, and make their stats affect the player's stats, but that's the easy part. I'll put a bit more polish on both the inventory and equipment menus and then I'll start working on the other (hopefully more simple) sections of the pause menu.
