Weekly Roundup 161 - Ads, Bug Fixes, and the Next Animation Pack

Hi everyone! Hope you've all had a great week so far.

Lots to show off this week so let's get into it!

1: What's New?

I did three different things this week!

1: Advertising:

Monday was spent updating all my marketing ad banners. This was well due as they hadn't been updated in over 12 months. Honestly I should try my best to update these every 6 if I can manage it!

Caroo has a Cold. Boo Hoo!

Hi everyone,

Symptoms of a nasty cold manifested around Sunday. Just giving a proper heads up that I might not be able to work on enough stuff this week to get a weekly roundup out. I'm a bit out of it at the moment.

We'll see by Friday. But if it's absent this week, that's why.

Hi everyone!

Excellent progress was made this week and we're on track for a new build of the game to be available late next week!

1: What's New?

So this week most of my time was spent in Unity doing the scripting work needed for the prisoner freeing sequence once you've defeated the boss.

That includes things like zooming in on the prisoner when you approach them, making them interactive and the like.

I also added more "Attack Patter...

Hi everyone!

I've got some fun animation work to show off. So let's get into it!

1: What's New?

So this week was spent mostly in Unity and its animation software to create the animations needed for the boss battle!

Firstly we can see how the boss looks how that it has some Unity set color to it! I think I still need to play around with the values a little but for now settled on a purple/violet color.

And of course their prisoner encased in so many te...

Weekly Roundup 154 - Boss Battle 1 - Week 4

Hi Everyone!

I've got solid progress to show off for the boss battle artwork! Let's get into it.

1: What's New?

This week was mostly spent down deep in photoshop and in particular rendering out the artwork for the boss monster and her tentacles.

Much like any of the character artwork and my animation sets there's also a lot of layering of assets that should lead to some lovely animation.

There's the boss monster. But also the various states for the tentacles pi...

Weekly Roundup 153 - Boss Battle 1 - Week 3

Hi everyone!

I've got some boss battle progress to report on today! Not as much as I would've hoped to get done this week but I had a few distractions come up out of work. But lets go through what I've done.

1: What's New?

This week was split between doing refined artwork in photoshop and continuing to work on the gameplay logic.

On the artwork side it's a slow start but I'm getting through it. Like many assets the tentacles are going to be rendered in lig...

Weekly Roundup 152 - Boss Battle 1 - Week 2

Hi everyone!

It's another short weekly roundup this week but I can show off a little bit of the progress done in unity for the boss battle. So lets get into it!

1: What's New?

So this week was spent doing two important things.

The first has nothing to do with game dev; I did my taxes, the first time done in 10 years in Australia since I returned to my country of origin last year. Australia's financial year starts and ends in the middle of the calendar year...

A few ideas have ...

Progress Update: What I'm working on now!

Hi everyone!

I wanted to make a quick journal post at the start of this week to give everyone an overview of my dev plans for the next few months.

We have just come off a 6 week dev cycle for Inmate Caroo which was released last week and met with a great response! I did take a few days off after it to help cool down and prevent burn out.

Thank you for enjoying the newest animation pack and if you're new here don't forget to go back and look at the prior Anim...

Inmate Caroo - Animation Pack!

This new Animation Pack is a feast for those who love femdom focused tickle torture and pleasure teasing! 21 parts in a interactive Gallery!

It's with a lot of hard work and pleasure that I release my first ever Male centered and femdom focused animation pack: Inmate Caroo!

This 21 part animation set follows a very kinky tale of crime and rehabilitation.

Weekly Roundup 150 - Inmate Caroo - Week 6

Hi everyone!

It's been a massive week of work and I'm almost done with what's likely the biggest animation pack I've done yet.

But let's get into what was worked on this week!

This week (And Sunday) has been spent working on the animations ...

Weekly Roundup 149 - Inmate Caroo - Week 5

Hi everyone!

I've got some fun animations to show you this week. Let's get into it.

1: What's New?

Progress this week was pretty good owing to some longer then usual hours spent on the animation pack this week.

The first point of order was going through the art asset files in Unity and linking them up to animation bones.

And as you can see. There's a LOT of bones: One of the most complex multi-character rigs I've made.

Weekly Roundup 148 - Inmate Caroo - Week 4

Hi everyone!

It's been another solid work week of progress so let me show you what I've gotten done!

My work this week was focused in two parts. The first three workdays where spent completing the art assets in photoshop for the characters: Finishing their shading and rendering.

Then the last two days of the work week was spent both preparing the Photoshop Big file for export (The multi-layer file used to import into Unity.) and then importing said fil...

Weekly Roundup 147 - Inmate Caroo - Week 3

Hi everyone!

A productive week of head-down and working hard as art assets are getting done. Let's take a look!

1: What's New?

So this week was filled with getting a start on the rendering work (colors, shading, etc) on all the art assets for the animation pack.

As it stands I think I'm about 60% through that part of the process and it'll take 3 more work days to get through it all. Here's some samples of progress so far:

1: What's New?

At the start of this week I completed the sketching out all the scenes and fleshing out the narrative design doc.

I also hired a writer to create all the narrative logs for each part! :D

A warning that overlooking them is a spoiler for the upcoming animation set content. But if you did want to 2023-05-26 15:25:13 +0000 UTC View Post

Weekly Roundup 145 - New Animation Set - Inmate Caroo - Week 1

Hi Everyone

This week has been a bit more relaxed on my end. Getting started on a new animation set!

For those who are new and don't know. I try to create about 2-3 animation sets per year in-between development of the Bindmancer. This is both to give my patrons some more unique and complete content but also allows me to try new things and not burn out on the main project. 

So let's talk about this one:

Weekly Roundup 143 - Prisoner Exchange Peril - Part 2

Hi everyone! Hope you've had a great week.

My current estimate is that the newest build that includes the new Prisoner Exchange Peril will be out next weekend on May the 5th or 6th. I more or less need an extra week for this feature.

With that in mind. Let's get into this weeks progress!...
