[Progress Report]: 8th of December

 Hey everyone,

The Early Build is uploading as I type this and we're looking at three events! I think I've leveled up my animations again, especially since they're finally at 30 fps! Very pleased with the new video rendering software and you can expect all future animations to be of a similar quality going forward!

As for the update itself, it was difficult, but I expected it to be. This de...

[Progress Report]: 1st of December

 Hey everyone,

Early, right?

I'm finally feeling comfortably in my old skin again, and right as crunch week dawns! Above you'll see a render from the latest event in the Rainy Day with Riley series and... it's raining! Surprise! Also, it's December already!? The year went by so fast.

This event series was surprisingly difficult to put together as well as expensive. For the last two ye...

 Hey everyone,

I bet you thought I forgot?

Well, I didn't! I'm hard at work making the Patreon poll content and you can see a snippet of it above! That's right, we've got wet-hair Riley!

Also, at least three events for her, but the hair is nice, right? It took a while!

I'm aiming for four events this release cycle, three for Riley and one extra which I haven't decided yet. It's ...

[Progress Report]: 20th of October

 Hey everyone,

What a week! I wish I could say there was a lot of progress done, but it's been swamped by the fact I'm flying out soon! Really soon. Too soon.

Above you'll see a Harper event I've completed today. I want to try and complete at least one more Chrys event over the next few days before I leave on my trip. We're looking at around six events with a mix of short, medium, and long...

[Progress Report]: 13th of October

Hey everyone,

Two weeks until the early build releases and the screaming has already begun!

As you know, my "vacation" is fast approaching and nothing sends me into a bigger panic than the prospect of leaving work undone! Above, you'll see Valentina fresh from her first main story event in quite a bit! She didn't have to wait as long as Riley or Harper, but it's time for the two of you to spend ...

[Progress Report]: 6th of October

Hey everyone,

Have you ever been filled with masculine urge to write story content for one of your game's most admired redheads only to realize you've spent a week on it with nearly another half-week to go? I just wanted a few, short events to catch up the Academy girls to the story content, and I have stumbled upon what might be the largest event of the update.

You can see a sneak peek of ...

[Progress Report]: 29th of September

Hey everyone,

Two Riley Pictures in Progress Reports in a row, what could this mean!?

Riley main story content of course!

Not just Riley, but also Valentina and Harper. The plot has advanced far enough that it's time to give some much needed character content to the other members of the Academy! Valentina is of particular note as her patrol route will be starting soon and she needs ...

[Progress Report]: 8th of September

 Hey everyone,

Riley!? Technically not a Riley event, but I couldn't keep everyone's favorite redhead out of the development spotlight for long!

This week saw more of Ferocitease's events finished and this following week before the Early Build release will do more of the same! I've pivoted my goals a little bit. I want to finish out a good chunk of Ferocitease's "opening" story right now in...

[Progress Report]: 1st of September

 Hey everyone,

Technically, the event above is already done. I just really like her expression.

Anyway! This week has been focused on finishing up some of Ferocitease's main story content, these two events cementing her plot and getting her ready for her day-to-day activities in the Academy. I'll need to work on putting her on the map still, but that should be coming at the end of this week...

[Progress Report]: 25th of August

Hey everyone,

The meeting with the Mayor was finished up last week and above you'll see another event showcasing Artemisia! I know that her standing in the garage isn't exactly a sign of stirring insight, but with a mayor's event finished, we can move onto some other important plot points, including Lovestruck!

I cannot stress how many main story points were waiting for the meeting with t...

[Progress Report]: 18th of August

 Hey everyone,

I just realized this will be the second image of someone in a car that I've posted in a row, but it still gets the point across! Time to let you all in on what I've been doing the last two weeks!

The first week was spent entirely on new character models. Two have been updated, and you can see Kelly Clark's improved image above! And we also have two more brand new ones necessi...

[Progress Report]: 28th of July

 Hey everyone,

One week until the Early Build release and the screaming begins anew!

Above you'll see another render of the newest member of the Academy: Felicity! This update is centered entirely around her integration into the Academy as she'll have a role to play in the upcoming main story that requires this content boost. Also, it would be odd if the newest character of the cast couldn'...

[Progress Report]: 14th of July

 Hey everyone,

If you've kept up on the Discord, then you'll be surprised to see this message! The power to half of my home went out last night and I'm still scrambling to get an electrician to arrive here as soon as possible. There aren't a lot of viable places to set up my computer in the mean time, especially since this problem sees to be more than a simple breaker-flip, but I still have my wa...

[Progress Report]: 7th of July

 Hey guys,

I'd say that the above image is a sneak peak of Ferocitease's room, but... really, that's all there is for now. I've completed the room, but her "moving in" will be a part of the storyline and the room itself will feel much more lived in over time.

As you can imagine, the focus of this update is to get Ferocitease integrated into the Academy: setting up a schedule for her and ha...

 Hey everyone,

I've said it once and I'll say it again: this year is going by too fast!

Above you'll see an image from the third major story event for this update. A little hint of what's to come and who will be affected! There's still a lot to do, but I'm confident that I can finish this one up and the Sandbox Event winner from the previous poll as well!

I was hoping to get seven ev...

[Progress Report]: 9th of June

 Hey everyone,

There are two weeks left until the next Early Build release and, let me tell you, that's not enough time!

Above you'll see an image from the previous poll event winner, Valentina! I'm alternating between large story events and these smaller sandbox events to try and pace myself as I work toward getting to the deadline. Right now, I am hoping for seven events, which will requi...

[Progress Report]: 2nd of June

 Hey everyone,

This year is going by too damn fast!

Above, you'll see an image from the event event of this release! I managed to finish the patrol event last week more or less on time and have embarked on the second major story event immediately. I've actually been working on this one since... last Thursday? I expect to finish most of it tonight and do all of the polish and final renders t...

[Progress Report]: 26th of May

 Hey everyone,

It's been quite a busy two weeks! If you were in the Discord, you were there and helping me get feedback as I was designing a brand new character model that will debut in this upcoming Version Update!

Above, you'll see the large patrol event I've been working on for the past week. There are some major story changes coming up, and this will be the scene to kick it all off! Abo...

 Hey everyone,

It's May already!?

The image from above is from the Riley Animation event, and I'm finishing up those animations tonight! This completes all three events for the Sandbox Poll winner (Riley) and I'll be finishing up the repeatable later night week for the four events for this update. You've probably noticed that an almost completely finished animation event and a repeatable ev...

[Progress Report]: 28th of April

 Hey everyone,

A short update this week. The move is over and everything has been sorted. It's just me, the game, my computer, and nothing but time.

I'm going to try and expand in a few areas while I'm working on the game. I'd like to work on some character design things and branch out into other artistic fields to take some improvements back into the game, but that's all long-form and in t...

[Progress Report]: 21st of April

Hey everyone,

If you've been on the Discord lately, then you know that I've made a fairly large life choice recently.

You see, I've been working on Superheroes Suck since the start of 2019 with its official first release being towards the end of the that year right before the pandemic. I don't think I need to remind anyone that the pandemic was a... strange time. It was easy to work on the game...

[Progress Report]: 14th of April

Hey everyone,

It's the UI update and we're... rendering!

I know right? What a shock!
The programming portion of this update will take place later on as I wish to finish off the Poll Events I have on my plate first. Without them hanging over my head, I should be able to hammering up the necessary updates without worrying too much about deadlines. I'll be asking for you...

[Progress Report]: 31st of March

Hey everyone,

I am triumphant. What an absolutely harrowing work week. Every day just kind of blurred together, but the result was definitely worth it. Six events completed, and five of them are massive.

I'm very happy with how they turned out. I pacing is a little off, but only if you're playing one version after another. During a fresh playthrough, these events will fit nicely in with t...

[Progress Report]: 24th of March

Hey everyone,

It's crunch week! That means the screaming begins now and ends next Sunday night! We're looking at around six events for the Early Build launch, with three of them being patrol events and one of them being the Chrys event you're seeing right above this paragraph! These patrols events are quite chunky and easily the size of two standard events, so while only six are coming out, it...
