Public update - April 2016

This month's image

The maids at the lakeside! Without unnecessary spoilers, this is from a day when the main characters visit a lake for a morning of swimming and fun. What do you think? Does it look like fun?

The demo

Another reminder, if you weren't aware there's an early access demo available for PAL! It's available here:2016-04-24 06:40:57 +0000 UTC View Post

Pervert Action: Legacy alpha v0.8.1

This is primarily a bug fix update on version 0.8.0 in order to address the broken night service system. A few extra things have been added as well. Nonetheless this might be worth getting if you were looking forward to the features of 0.8.0 because that version was quite faulty.

Update 57

tl;dr - Plenty of image design work this week, as well as some writing. Some things I can talk about right away, some I can't, but the image above is a good sample.

Sorry the update is slightly late, I was busy and forgot. :)

This week's image

As I'll discuss below I made some new images this week, particularly for Iku (as well as others). This one is from the sex scene - probably enough said. I like this one; it's not perfectly perfect, but I thin...

Update 56

tl;dr - I'm back from my holiday! I haven't been back very long, however, and I'm still recovering from the trip a little bit so I prepared some more thoughts in advance about my hosting strategies. I also talk about what I'm planning to work on next.

This week's image

More new Kimiko night service! This one's actually for a scene you may have seen (if you've played the alpha) but I've decided to add this new image to it, move the image I had in the scene back t...

Update 55

tl;dr - I'm on holiday so I don't have that much news to report right now - just a bit of writing. Instead I decided to talk about the recent end of Kimochi and give you (I think) a nice Fumi pic.

This week's image

This is one of the new night service pictures. I don't know if I need to say too much about it, but it should show up in the next alpha, if you're looking forward to this scene.

On holiday, but writing 

As I mentioned l...

Update 54

tl;dr - I'm on holiday! Before I went, however, I was able to release a new alpha.

This week's image

Had a good wank today? If not, maybe Kimiko can help. Although she doesn't seem to be enjoying it much, you never know what might be going through her head (or other parts). This image is one I made kind of speculatively, thinking of using it in the night service responses, which ultimately I now have done.

On holiday this week

I'm ...

Update 53

tl;dr - Thanks to work on the threesome scene and the new night service responses I think the next alpha will be ready soon!

This week's image

This is from Fumi's new night service responses.

I'll be honest, I'm a little conflicted on this image. I think it's okay, probably acceptable, but I don't think it's one of my better ones. Looking at it I can't put my finger on anything in particular that's wrong with it, though.

I'd appreciate an...

Update 52

tl;dr - I made small progress on lots of little things this week, and I outline below what I'm now planning for the next alpha.

This week's image

Kimiko's new kissing practice! And if you check you'll see I've also attached the audio for this scene, so you can hear her as well. Give it a listen and tell me what you think!

In the actual game the little frame in the top left corner pops up after a few lines of text, but there's nothing ...

Public update - March 2016

tl;dr - I do much more comprehensive updates for patrons, but here's a quick status report; I've released a demo and I'm planning on a release of the full game this year.

This month's image

Enter Hiroshi! Actually Hiroshi's been a part of the alpha for a while now, he just doesn't turn up until after the demo part of the game.

The demo

If you didn't know I've...

Update 51

tl;dr - The demo's been generally well received and I've been thinking about the responses and what they should mean about development.

This week's image

A new take on 'kissing service'? I made this image as kind of an experiment for an idea - I think I should be able to use it somewhere whether or not the scene I planned pans out. I'll explain a little more below.

Got some more voice acting from Sacci

I've recent...

Update 50

tl;dr - The demo has been released, I've done more rendering and programming, AWFreyr has free time to contribute some more, and I give a big overall progress update.

I never feel as productive as I want to be, but this has been a pretty big week, I guess.

This week's image

I rendered this image this week; Rio at the lake. I did several lake pics of different girls but I liked this one the best. The lake scene still needs some more images, I think,...

Remember: this is an early access demo! It's not finished! That means there's going to be some bugs I haven...

Another Let Me Out test shot

Here's another Let Me Out test picture I was playing around with. This one might be a lot closer than the previous ones to stuff you'd actually see in the game. I figured that maybe some of the uncanny valley problems I've been having with the character model might be fixed if I put her in a more complete environment (as I planned to do anyway). I will be adding more environmental features, too, because I want the scene to look more busy and complete when I'm done with it.

I've ...

Update 49

tl;dr - I've worked on testing and fixing the demo this week, as well as continuing to develop the image series for the Ai/Rio sex scene, normalising the volume of the voice acting and doing some miscellaneous programming and image design.

Even though I've made decent progress this week it feels slower than I actually want to be progressing. The last few weeks have seen me settling in to my new schedule for my day job, so I guess that's one reason, but it's not a good enough rea...

Beta testers needed for PAL demo

I've decided to release an early access demo for Pervert Action: Legacy and I'm looking for some people to help me test out whether it is working and how it can be improved before public release. This will not include anything much that patrons with alpha access haven't already seen (in fact it will include a lot less than what is in the alpha), instead it includes only one sex scene and only the first 7 days (of 21) of the plot. Many major plot and gameplay features aren't even introduced in th...

Update 48

tl;dr - After some good progress on the Ai/Rio threesome I switched to preparing the early access demo for public release. It's going well and I'm now looking for beta testers.

Today's image

Iku's Valentine's gift to you! Actually, I honestly don't know if I'll be using the love hearts in this image, I think they look a little silly. I was trying out an idea with this pic based on what you commonly see in hentai art with hearts all around a girl to...

Update 47

tl;dr - A busy week leads to trouble making progress, but I've tried to make up for it on the weekend. I've mostly developed images, added voice acting and done some programming on the Ai/Rio sex scene.

Today's image

I thought I hadn't shown you a Masami image in a while, so here's one. Admittedly she's mostly concealed by Kenji, but I quite like the pose, personally.  I made the pose originally some time ago (earlier in the game development), but I've only...

Public update: February 2016

tl;dr - Alpha v0.7.0 is complete; four of the sex scenes are largely implemented; the game's taking a little longer than expected due to higher quality standards than for the previous games, but progress is good.

New public updates!

Okay, so I've had a problem lately with my website software. My old website over at bbben.aifcommunity.org is great because the bandwidth was donated to me, but I can't use wordpress or any...

Update 46

tl;dr - I have completed and released PAL alpha version 0.7.0! Now I'm moving on to working on one of the threesome scenes.

Today's image:

Little bit of a spoiler here, but I think the context of this scene is cryptic enough that you don't really know what's going on. If you're wondering, yes, Rio is pulling Ai's hair in this shot.

If you've played the alpha you might have some more clues on what's happening here, but ultimately you'll just have to wai...

Pervert Action: Legacy alpha v0.7.0

My lengthy test is over and the alpha is finally ready! Download it here:

Update 45

tl;dr - Long post today! I've been trying to adjust Twyla's design for LMO to little avail; meanwhile I've had more success with designing new images for PAL and testing the alpha, although that's still proving to be a slow and deliberate process.

This week's image:

This image isn't a recent one for me - in fact the original pose is one of the earlier PAL images I designed - but I have recently readjusted it and redone it in Iray, so here's the new version. Obvi...

Let Me In is nominated for the 2015 Erins!

...Not that that's a particular achievement, since all AIF releases of 2015 are nominated, but it's still a big deal as far as I'm concerned. So far Pervert Action: Future is the only game I've made that ever won a game of the year award, and while I don't really expect to be in contention again until I release PAL I thought I'd at least drum up a little support. The usual voter base is so small that you guys could easily make the difference.

If you want to vote for the game the...

Another shot at a new Twyla

Last time I showed you a test image of a newly altered Twyla design for Iray renders I took on board the criticism that she still looked a little uncanny. I've actually had a lot of trouble getting her to look right and not creepy; it's a problem with Iray generally but particularly with Twyla.

It must be her design, so I've had another go making some more tweaks to the character. This render here is a little quick and dirty (meaning it's grainy and the shadows are jagged because I didn't ...

Update 44

tl;dr - The testing is still ongoing and I'm improving the game while doing it, mostly by making images. I've also worked a little on future projects.

This week's image:

I just made this one this morning, from the start of the Ai sex scene. You'll be seeing this scene soon, I hope, if you've got alpha and beta access. I have all this other cool stuff I'd like to show off, but I can't right now because it would involve spoilers.

I'll try to show off som...

Opinions? Uncanny valley or not?

I've been having a bit of trouble with this specific picture of Ai. Basically the early drafts were fine but when I re-rendered the image in Iray suddenly it looked very creepy and uncanny-valleyish. Ultimately I think it's an issue from a clash between her cartoonish features (and expressions) and the realistic skin texture.

I think I've improved it dramatically, but I'd appreciate opinions on whether I've actually succeeded or if it's still a problem. Thanks in advance! :)

Update 43

tl;dr - I've been making images, testing the game and solving bugs. The next alpha isn't ready, but it will be once I'm done with this round of testing.

Today's image:

Part of my recent image work (discussed below). You might know this scene if you've played the alpha - Fumi changing a light bulb on day 2 in a slightly unsafe way (notice she's wearing roller skates). I'm not actually 100% happy with this pic, but I thought it was probably good enough to go with ...

Update 42

tl;dr - The new computer is working and I've been doing a bunch of image rendering with it; also I'm planning on doing a demo version of the game, although I'm not sure when. Tell me if you object.

Today's image:

I hope you're looking forward to the Rio sex scene! This is obviously a shot from that scene, which will be in the next alpha along with the Ai sex scene. Actually the Rio scene is mostly done now, but I would like to finish a couple more images and als...

Happy new year!

I'm looking forward to 2016, since 2015 was so good. A lot of that was down to you guys, so I hope you realise how grateful I am! :) Anyway, here's a little sneak peek of my slightly new version of Twyla for her sequel. (After she got out of the tower.) I've been rendering a lot since the new replacement PC arrived, and it hasn't had any problems so far.

EDIT: I'm actually starting to think that Iray doesn't work very well with 'looking-down-the-barrel-of-the-camera' angled shots. I think ...

Update 41

tl;dr - The Ai sex scene and the Rio sex scene are both largely finished, I've added some images to the game, and I discuss how I select music for games.

Today's image:

Iku naked, in Iray, with latest anatomy upgrade. What do you think?

I may have shown variations of this pose/shot before (can't remember), but even if I have I'm more pleased with this version than any of the previous ones.

Ai sex scene largely finishe...
