Still crunching through the stage demo. Personal stuff has been messing with the schedule, but I'll nail this one in a few more days. I'll just rest for a bit as I feel the stress encroaching.
Anyway, we recently commissioned two artists for BGs. Chris prefers BGA1 while I think BGA2 is better but was saturated and did not blend well with the animations. Version B, hopefully fixes that. Still would like to hear your opinions.
...I'm back from mini-break. Was playing some HZD on the PS4 at the weekend. Good way to relieve stess and it's also an awesome game imho.
Will have one last birthday to attend to tomorrow before I can go full dev mode again. It's just a few more stretch til we get the stage demo out. Well, it's basically finished but I still need to tinker with it as it's still causing some massive bugs in tests.
Worry not, tho. All of these bugs are normal and I've a todo list whenever I encounte...

Hi guys, stage demo will be completed around 16th-21st. (Will have 2 family events this month, so schedule is a bit tight.) Then after that, 2 weeks or so to compile and add the sex scenes and those that Chris already finished. Do take note that these won't have the new minigame as that's not done yet.
Thanks for the Feb support! Going back to the crunch and the grind!
Here's a sketch for the Fungus Brute, btw. Ass to vag transition!
-kReig out.
Chris is finished with the Rapevine main scene and has moved on to the Fungus Brute main scene. He's also upgraded from PhotoShop to Clip Studio Pro.
Gave him pointers and enemy behaviour so he's all out for the next scene. This enemy won't be in the Map-Test demo, btw as there's no AI behind it yet. Tho I can try to clone it with the Bloodhunter and see if a few tweaks can make it work for the soft demo.
Ideas and layouts for the next scene:
Hi guys. Code crunching to get the stage demo out. I'm still adjusting with the scheduling and catching up with work and real life, but I am always on this thing as much as I could ever since moving to the new place.
I also recently joined a gym doing newbie cardio and some dyel hoping to battle my sickly last year. Hope this thing gives more energy to do more work. I almost died on the first day!! Tho I have been sleeping and waking up early for a week now because of this, so I have high hope...

Ok I'll try to recreate the post I lost the other day. Internet has been stable lately after fixes. Though little by little getting used to the new place, I am reminded of how it is a pain in the ass to move. Hopefully we stay here for good til I finish the core game.

Hi everyone. Just finished five stages with the new BG assets. I had to add 30+ extra variations to doodads and other elements and will probably spend a few days creating a new but simple tutorial stage.
This is after I upload video progress as stated in the current progress milestone. The campaign page will require a lot of thought, but I will revamp it. I was thinking of returning the $1 pledge and set the next tier to $10 and $20 so things will not be as complex with tiers and just ma...

Hi guys, sorry for the late update. Got struck with a flu and conjunctivitis. Doing a bit better now and will be back to work tomorrow.
1 final area left and we can go up a milestone!
For now, here's one of Chris' update for the Rapevine scene.
I'll answer all your messages soon! Eyes burn when I look at the monitor for a longtime.

Last month, I tried to revive the original piece, unfortunately, it really crashes for some fucked up reason. Spent 5 hours trying to fix and retrieve it and I won't waste another for it. I will contact Rey, the old animator, maybe he can do something about it. Even pay him for the trouble so we can atleast get the original scene for gallery mode.
So Chris did his rendition of rapevine, and I must say traditional animation gives it more "life" - Just wait til you see the rest of the animated s...

Just for everyone's information, work resumed a few days ago. Currently grinding to finish the next milestone. Chris finished the full set of Blood Hunter's indulge scene and is now tackling Rapevine.
He got a bit disturbed with Rapevine's lore, so I may have to tone some stuff a bit in the future as I doubt other distribution sites will allow something as dark. But he's gonna stomach it and do what he can for rapevine.
Yesterday, I did this template of Siggy for him so he can make furth...

It's more winds this time, so we lost a small section of our roof with just ankle-high flood.
We'll probably move out first or second week of January to a flood-free area. It was a bit hard to find a new place specially having adopted 3 stray dogs. (5 dogs total now and landlords hate pets.)
Strangely, we did not lose internet and I am able to post this, but once we start moving, there may be more updates from Chris just for the duration of moving out.

We'll be back to work by 27th.

There's no evading Christmas season specially with family pressure, so I apologize if I post this a few days late for a weekly update. I really hate holiday rush and traffic ugh.
Anyway, most of Bloodhunter indulge sequence are done. Footjob sequence in the title post was already midway, so I had it done for color tests and sync. Since Chris does the animations at a traditional 24fps and the game runs at 30, you already see the problems we face. But I already solved this thru code, so no worri...

I finished the backgrounds and other miscellaneous coding (can't stay away too long coding or i'll build up rust) - Now to explain why the backgrounds needed rework, the outsoruced BG artist and I had some communication problems. Some artists just don't know how a map tileset works, so I had to do a template so the BG artist will do the rest. (doodads, extra variations etc)
They need to be seamless and on a strict pixel count and coordinates or they will not wo...

Ok just for a quick update, the indulge loop animation is finished and colored. We picked the brighter one since it blends better with test BG's. I won't be able to show it as I'm refining the rewards in the future campaign changes.
The thing now is we're adding finishers to indulge scenes. No longer just loops. Chris has a task to finish two finishers this month, but in case we need to decide with one, I need your votes in the next 24 hours before he starts doing them, so vote away. Footjob V...

Not final. Since all enemies will share specific BG perspective, we're looking for a middleground for colors and tones.

Just a quick update on where Chris is at now.
It is so... fappable. haha. Ok, I will be honest, I do not get turned on when I was doing the visuals. Working now with Chris' work gets me uhhhmn... double-meaning excited!
There's just some minor stuff that will change here, like the Bloodhunter having external balls. So if bouncing nuts happen to be a fetish, well, this scene does not fully cater to you. Next enemy, perhaps.

Hi guys, currently done with the Rapevine A.I. above are some of her sprites but she is working as intended now ingame.

He also tried to emulate the my style for the face here beside his:
So I spoke too soon about things going back to normal after the storm. Turns out it's one of the worst 2 weeks of living at my place. We have power and one of the areas unaffected, but had to redistribute to affected areas til they got to fix shit up.

Having trouble with electricity, internet service, flood inside the house and we're about to get hit by a storm again tomorrow. Just on a prepaid internet atm. Don't worry much, tho. The game is constantly backed up. I'll report back just as soon as things normalize.

Alright, every poll shouts YES so I'll wrap the demo up and release as soon as it is functioning.
To be precise, here's what's needed to release the RAW update:
Minigame mechanic rework. This should be easy to code, but will take a day to tinker, since I have to clean sweep the previous mechanic. Don't want to have nasty memory leaks. Visuals and the animations will...

Hey guys, progress is continuous but I am doing mostly code, so I've nothing to show yet. But as soon as I'm done, I'll post another video of it.
To give an idea what I'm working on, it's for the main gameplay. In the demo, Siggy just had to get near the crystal to end the stage, but in what I'm working on right now (more like recovering and improving on after that lightning fucked up my pc) is Siggy needing to purify the crystals first to clear stages.
While purifying, enemies will of c...
