[Progress Report]: 6th of August

Hey everyone,

I can't believe it's August already. Or, Baldur's Gate 3 release month according to my social media feed. Some fast updates: I am recovering much better and I think I might be cleared to walk by the end of the month. It was also my mother's birthday last week, and I enjoyed cookies. 

Now, for the Superheroes Suck!

Lovestruck.

That is all.

Well, it's cl...

[Progress Report]: 23rd of July

Hey everyone,

I am somehow alive. By that, I mean the Early Build is uploading and there won't be a hiatus for Superheroes Suck. I'm still hurt pretty bad, so I'm still taking it easy, but it's not as bad as it was even a few days ago. 

The early build will release with five events! Two major story ones that will nicely set up the next update, and then another bevy of Riley developme...

Hey everyone,

Above you can see progress for one of the upcoming main story events! Miranda has received a visual overhaul, and while you can check out some of the in progress images on the Discord, I've kept the final result for the release! I'm very happy with it, and it has encouraged me to keep working through what has been a very difficult development cycle.

For everyone who keeps up...

Hey everyone,

The Kelly Clark event is finally done! It actually ended up taking the whole week, which was an unwelcome surprise in regards to development time, but I'm happy with the final product all the same.

You'll notice she's had another visual update. There were some issues with Kelly between the lightning engine update of yesteryear and a recent nVidia graphics card update that ma...

Hey everyone,

Smaller update this week. Just wanted to confirm that Riley's massage event went as planned with all animations completed and the event finished! I'm also roughly 90% recovered from my injury, so I should be be back to pumping out content at my usual pace as of this week.

So far, I'm still hoping for around seven events, with a large pick up in number of events in the follow...

Hey everyone,

Bit of a slow week this week. I've spent this one and the last mostly recovering from an injury I suffered just before the Early Build launch of the previous version. I don't want to go into details here, and I'm posting this just to reassure everyone who has been checking up on me that I'm taking things easy as I recuperate.

Above you'll see another render of the future Ril...

Hey everyone,

The Early Build version is live!

I'm very happy with this update. This will be the third time I've mentioned this today, but getting out eight events instead of the original seven has been a good boost to my creative confidence. All of the renders turned out well, the new room looks nice, and Chrys' room is finally accessible after a very long wait. It makes me feel like I'm...

Hey everyone,

The Early Build release is next weekend and the screaming begins again!

I've been hard at work trying to reach that seven event goal, and I think I'll be able to snatch it at the last moment. This doesn't really put me ahead. At least, in my mind, as there are a number of things I need to catch-up on, but it will allow me to focus the next update on starting the main story p...

Hey everyone,

Boy, this development cycle is going by fast.

As you can see from the above image, the final "Move in" event from Riley's arc has been completed! The Recreation Room is now and I expect to code it in the weekend before release. There won't be much functionality in the Recreation Room on launch, but I expect it to fill gradually with content as Poll events finish and the main...

[Progress Report]: 21st of May

Hey everyone,

It's done. It's finally done.

The Riley H-scene event, Recreation room, and the long coveted (by at least one person) disaster Riley have all been completed. Out of the all of those, the Recreation room was the most difficult, and a task I've been dreading for almost two updates! Creating Academy rooms is a nightmare because of how everything has to...

Happy Mother's Day, everyone!

I apologize if that greeting came too late!

Anyway, above you can see a render from the conclusion of Riley's Workout event from the previous poll. I'm happy with the renders and I'll be cleaning up the script and finalizing it fairly soon.

As for this update, the major hurdle to overcome is the Recreation Room. I'll be spending the following week getti...

[Progress Report]: 30th of April

Hey everyone,

The Early Build version for Superheroes Suck 1.525 is currently uploading as I write this. The final event count is three, one shorter than I wanted, but a brief visit to the hospital put me far enough behind that I just barely finished the Chrys event tonight. She had a few more renders to be done after the animations, which then turned into many renders as I wanted to flesh out ...

Hey everyone,

Congratulations to this (short) development cycle's poll winner: Riley!

Above, you can see a render from her new Weight Lifting sandbox style event. As usual, she will get two of these events with a payoff H-scene event in the next update. As for our previous winner, Chrys, I will be focusing on finishing up her animation sequence tomorrow!

We're looking at four events...

Hey everyone,

This week was a doozy. I have fully recovered from the jet lag from my work trip last week, sorted out all of my errands, caught up on the other responsibilities I put on hold, and even fixed up the last few lighting issues with the character renders in the game. All that is to say: I am back and fully in gear.

My goal for the upcoming release remains the same: four to five ...

Hey everyone,

This is just a quick update to let you know that my flight has landed that I have returned. I've got a lot of work to catch up with on my day job, and jet-lag to recover from, but I will be back to work on Superheroes Suck tomorrow. 

This will be a shorter update than usual given the three week impact on development time, so my primary goal will be the H-scene poll, finishing Chrys' Pet Play Event, and tweaking a few things behind the scenes to get ready for the...

Hey everyone,

The Early Build version for Superheroes Suck 1.500 has been completed and is uploading now!

I am very happy that I was able to hit the nine events I was aiming for last week, and I think Artemisia's inclusion was the right way to balance out the end of the Chrys Video Game Arc. 

With Chrys' Arc finished, I just need to complete the other half of Riley's and Artemi...

Hey everyone,

The Early Build Release is fast approaching and I am aiming for nine events this release cycle. For the upcoming week, I will be finishing the ...

Hey everyone,

I can't believe February is already over!

I have some exciting news, with I spoiled somewhat on the Discord a few hours ago, but the Chrys Video Game Arc has been concluded! What an absolute mammoth of an event series. I know that it doesn't seem anymore fantastical or over the top as some of the others, but there were a lot of plot points to juggle during its construction t...

Hey everyone,

This month really flew by. As you can see from the above, I'm currently working on the climax of the Chrys Video Game Arc! After this, there's just a few events left for the wrap-up of the Arc in its entirety and I'm going to try and get the room access done.

There's not much more to add other than the renders are continuing smoothly. I guess, the only game-related thing out...

Hey everyone,

The work on Chrys' Video Game Arc continues! It's also my sincere hope that I'll be able to finish her arc this development cycle, and I would like to thank all of you for your patience. 

There are just one or two events until the showdown with Sumire, with the rest of the arc covering the immediate fallout of that. I know that there are many questions regarding why the...

The Early Build version of Superheroes 1.450 is almost finished uploading, and will be posted for the Early Access tiers shortly. All in all, seven events are finished along with the final Tactical Cuddling Event!

To be honest, I completed this version update feeling quite frustrated. What had been a promising start at the tail-end of the Holiday season became a frantic and ...

Hey everyone,

I discussed this on the Discord when it happened, but I want to keep a record here for those that don't frequent those channels. I recently ran into a major PC issue last week, yesterday, and today. My desktop has started crashing frequently.

First, I want you all to know that Superheroes Suck is backed up on an external hard drive, so there is no danger of losing the game's...

Hey everyone,

I apologize for the late in the day progress report. It's actually my birthday today! And I've been celebrating by sleeping in for the past several hours.

It looks like Harper's Tactical Cuddling event is the favorite in the polls, so I'll spend some of this week getting the foundation ready just in case. Aside from that, Chrys' Video Game Arc is continuing as planned! I've ...

Hey everyone,

I have overcome the most difficult part of the Chrys Video Game Arc! You can see above the a sneak-peek of the event in question. I wanted to try some new things with the renders in this event. I'm not sure how well it will be received, but something like this is the perfect time to experiment and get some feedback. I think you'll all like it.
