4/13/18 and Deadline

Hey everyone, 

It's been a while since my last post, but I've been pretty busy with school. Today I have the first version of the MC from SQ redesigned in my new style. Now this style is a noticeable downgrade in detail from the portrait I did of the SQ2 MC, but this was a decision made by me so that I can spend less time on the actual artwork, and more on the game/story. Later today I'll also be starting work on the equipment system, and making it so clothes and things are interchangeabl...

4/9/18 and Progress Report

Hey folks.

I spent almost all of the weekend and today working on and debugging the equipment menu. Took me almost all day to get the item giving function to work. Either way, I have that nearly taken care of, and soon I'll be working on actually equipping items and having their stats effect the player stats. In conjunction with this, I'm working on having a little character portrait in the menu which changes clothes and stuff when you change them in real time. It'll be tricky to get things in...

4/6/18 and Marching On

Buenas noches amigos,

Just a small developmental post about what I've been working on, what to expect next, etc.

After I made the last post, I worked on restructuring the spanking mini-game to utilize the space better without the facial portraits. The good thing about construct, is that as long as things are not based on screen position, reorganizing objects in the game is very simple. I don't have a picture to show at the moment, but it is a bit reminiscent of the old interface I had in...

4/5/18 and Animation Update

Hey everyone, 

I have some bad news with regards to my plan for the animations in the spanking mini game. Despite my intentions and time spent, I don't think I'll be able to have this feature in future versions. It took a lot of work organizing everything into a workable state, but even then I was only able to make a short, okay-ish animation. As a beginner to all of this, it is probably for the best that I put this aside for now. 

Seeing as that is the case, I've decided to re...

4/4/18 and Animation Progress

What up fam. 

Today I have the Pre-animated facial graphic for Maria. I still have some touch ups to do, but considering the final product will only be a 400x400 or so box in the corner of the game, I don't want to put so much effort into it that it detracts from the game. The image above is actually comprised of many separate layers, each for a different part (hair, eyes, mouth, etc) which will be manipulated separately in the animating software. I will need to make a variation of the mo...

4/2/18 and Animation Beginnings

Hey everyone, I have a (hopefully exciting) update for you all today. A while ago, I heard of this program called Dragon Bones. It's a free 2D animation and rigging software that uses a lot of terms that I'm not familiar with :/

As you can see from my first attempt at an animation in this software, I am not an animator, but apparently it is pretty powerful in the right hands. Here is a good example of what I mean: ...

3/31/18 and Minigame Demo

Hi folks, the wait has been long and I finally have something to show off.

Open and run the file as usual. Now most of what is in the game is just a placeholder at the moment. I needed actual objects to test functions in the game and how they work. So buttons, colors, organization, fonts, sounds, etc. are all temporary. I still wanted to show you some sort of proof of progress. The game is played entirely with a mouse, and you click whatever you want to interact with. The blue square is like a...

3/31/18 and Plans

Expect a playable update later today. Main functions of the system are working, but I'm working on adding more aesthetic features.

3/28/18 and Progress Update

Hey folks.

I left a comment on a past post saying I'd be able to get the update out by this weekend or before because I wouldn't be busy this week. Welp, turns out that was a lie since I have an exam tomorrow that I needed to study almost all of today on. That being said, you should still be able to expect an update before next Monday, but it might be late in the weekend. I've been experimenting with some aesthetic effects that I think will be welcome additions to the current system.

3/25/18 and Your Decision

Welp, it was pretty unanimous. Only 17 percent of those who voted did so in favor of the first option, so from now on I'll be putting more focus uniqueness rather than variety or randomness. I was kind of relieved, because I had already spent most of the day deciding how I would handle my new arrangement, and the stress from adding Elder Scrolls level customization was taking it's toll. With the pace things are going at now, I might get a playable demo out in a week's time of the new spanking in...

3/25/18 and Decision

Hi everyone, I have a meaningful post for you all today. Just yesterday, I was able to get the first prototype of a conversation working during a spanking scene when I came to a sort of realization. I've spent a lot of time and effort into making the spanking scenes in the game have variety so that the player could repeat the normal spanking scenes over an over again but still get some randomization. But honestly, even after the insanely tedious work it was in rpgmaker to provide a plethora of l...

3/22/18 Stream Progress and Other Developments

Hi everyone. This post is meant to show more of what was accomplished recently along with some changes to how spanking scenes will play out in the game. 

Firstly, as you can see from the video, I now have the soreness and general spanking mechanics finished. I have also included an effort slider bar for the spanking option, which allows you to control the hardness for which you deliver the next set of spanks. At the moment, it only changes the numbers behind everything, but in the future ...

3/21/18 Stream

3/21/18 and More Progress

Hi everyone, just reporting in the work I've gotten done lately. The other day, I got caught up in adding the functions for when the player gains an item or clothing. It was way more complex than I expected, and took a good 3 hours to get it working properly and then the rest of the day to recreate the event for the other item types. Today, I've been focusing on adding marks to the spanking target. The blend modes used in Construct and Photoshop aren't 100% the same, so it's taking some experime...

3/19/18 Stream and Results

Hey everyone, if you missed the stream today, here is a video showing what I accomplished during it and a bit after. Huge strides made today, well on track to having a finished version by the end of the week!

3/19/18 Stream

Doing work on game. Come take a look if you want.

3/19/18 and Possible Stream

Hey everyone, nothing new to show off at the moment, but I wanted to let everyone know I may be doing a stream later today depending on the time I have. It will be game development focused, with me figuring out how to do some things in Construct, nothing related to events or story in case you didn't want to get spoiled. I'll be doing work on the spanking mini-game, and as I speak I'm working on the "baring" action.

3/17/18 and Maria Portrait

Hi everyone, I've been working on this first attempt of a female base/character on and off since last night and got a finished(?) piece out for you. The art style is quite different from the male main character's that I currently use, partially because it is a lot more time consuming and also because I embarrassingly forgot how I did it... Either way, I'll be using this for the time being for experiments in two person dialogue as well as in the spanking interface/mini-game. From now on, my work ...

3/14/18 and Work Plan

Hi everyone, happy pi day, and not so happy RIP Steven Hawking day.

With today out of the way, my exams are clear for the foreseeable future. This is going to be an update on what I'll be working on for the next week or two. I've been hopping between aspects of the game without making big strides in any direction, so I'm gonna try and stick to a schedule.

1. Finish the female body portrait.

2. Make the Maria details and portrait. 

3. Work on the spanking mini-game until ...

3/12/18 and Bewbs

Hi everyone, despite by still busy schedule at the moment, I made some more progress with the game as you can see above.

The above picture is a cataloging of the learning process of drawing boobs. The first two options are much less impressive than the third, which I think is an okay representation of a average sized rack. In the last image to the right I restored the opacity to the skin color and added some shading to them. Since the portraits will usually have clothes on, I drew them as if t...

3/10/18 and First Set Complete

Alright, if you can't guess it now, I'll be really surprised.

As you can see, I finished all of the important details for our "mystery character" who will be the test subject for the spanking system. Now that I have these components done, I'll be able to actually start working on the mini-game. I don't have redness or markings done yet, but they can be ignored for the moment. I still have a last exam coming up this week, and then I'll have much more time to work on it. 

3/7/18 and Components

Hi folks.

I have a little showcase prepared of some of the components I created for the spanking interface. As was the case in the RPGmaker version, each article of clothing, hairstyle, and other miscellaneous details are each a separate picture which will be stacked in a certain order on top of a naked mannequin type object to form each of the characters in the game. This is the first time I made any clothes in addition to the body in this improved art style, but I think they came out good.&n...

3/3/18 and Real Talk

Hi again everyone. I wanted to let you all know that the coming weeks for me will be pretty busy at my school. I have a German essay and Differential Equations exam on the same day this coming week, and a Modern Physics exam the week after that. I'll still work on the game when I have the time, but don't get your hopes up on any major developments until after then.

Still, the next update/trial I do will probably include the spanking mini game. But that is going to be a HUGE process that would ...

3/1/18 and Damage

Hey everyone, I made a significant step today in the game. I managed to finalize the formula for doing damage in a spanking scene. Now, this post is going to get pretty number and math heavy, so if you aren't interested or are at risk for headaches from thinking too hard, avert your eyes now.

What you see above is a screenshot from Mathematica, a technical computing software used for data analysis, visualization, and demonstration. So I decided to use it for this perverted endeavor. I used the...

2/28/18 and New Interface Concept Art

Hi everyone, I have something special to show you today (night). While I was caught up with the equipment menu being set up, I realized how ingrained this next step is with the entire game, so I'm going to be working on the spanking mini game alongside the equipment menu, and the next demo will include all of it working. This is the concept art/schematics I have drawn up for my new plans with the spanking interface. I'm going to be making a lot of improvements here, and will add loads more optio...

2/27/18 and Documentation

Hey everyone, 

It's been a bit, and I've been pretty busy with school but have done some progressive work on the game. A lot of it has been me documenting some concepts I want down for brainstorming's sake. In conjunction with this, I decided to have the documentation exist in the form of the strategy guide for the game. Once I have more content and actual quests or locations to write on, I'll make it publicly available. Not much more to say at the moment, it's a pretty heavy development ...

2/25/18 and New Equipment

Hi again folks,

I've been doing some work on the equipment menu, which of course first means I need to create a list of equipment along with any stats they will have, and a player's current equipped items list as well. I took this chance of working with a more organized structure to introduce some more details for equipment in the future for greater customization. 

Equipment will be sorted into  1 of 5 slots during the game: Tops, Bottoms, Underwear, Implements, and Accessories...

2/23/18 and Trial 4 (Inventory Test)

Hi errybady!

I have the next demo/trial thingy out for you all today. This was quit the task getting everything to work right, it felt like the bugs would never stop popping up. Finally I was able to get everything working. This new trial is focused on demoing the inventory menu, so some other interactions will not work properly (such as the stone signs). When the game starts up for you, click on the blue square on the upper right to load your inventory up with items. This is what I used in my...

2/21/18 and More Inventory Work

Hey everyone,

Sorry but nothing to show today. Well, there IS stuff I could show, but it isn't in a very stable state at the moment. I spent a ton of time today working with the game, and I made just as much progress. I've made it so that on an item "pickup" the inventory sorts itself depending on the items entry in the database, so your inventory will retain some organization even if you just grab things haphazardly. And if you don't like the standard way of organization, or want to show off ...

2/19/18 and IT WORKS!!!

YES! After a long time looking at the array documentation, many tests, and a bunch of trial and error, I finally have set up a prototype of the inventory system. What you're seeing is one of the four menu buttons I have planned, this one leading to the inventory/equipment dual menu. An animation plays when the cursor is over it, and when clicked it "opens" the inventory (which is just 3 text objects stacked next to each other at the moment). This prototype uses two variables, and an array with a...
