Quest Journal (and stuff)

I've been working on the quest dialogue (for the menu) for that go-between-two-people quest. You know, that stuff that 90% of players are never going to read (you know what I'm talking about if you ever played Dead Space.. Who knew Isaac could be so chatty?). At least it will help players keep track of what they were doing (unless they can't remember which character is which).

Besides that I've been working on some sex animations and setting up events for that first girl. I still need...

"He said, she said" - Quest style

Why do they use these type of quests in games? You know, where you have to be the go-between for two characters that are basically too lazy to walk into the next room. Well they use them because it works! :D

I've been working a bit on the brothel introduction questline. Initially Sienna can not enter if her integrity is high. I'm sure I'll implement some alternative ways for players to gain access when I start adding more brothel characters, at which point I can also add alternate dialogu...

First Commission Done!

Obakawaii finished the commission of-

Well, just to be on the safe side, I won't say who it's supposed to be.
Here's the initial sketch, followed by the rainbow sketch:

And then what?

When not checking my email 50 times a day (unlike normal people who check their email only once a week), I took a look at the new brothel area (it's going to be called Kendra's House of Pleasure). Eh.. now what? Where do I start? Well.. characters would be a good place to start, so I decided to use one of those RTP characters from RM2K3 I recently converted. In particular I remembered that queen sprite had a few sprites of her doing it with those big goblin guys from Violated Heroine.

Ki...

I can't haz another cookie? (Commission Related)

One of the artists I commissioned seems to have a rather quick turnaround, but after the initial sketch they found out that Howleen is 14 years old. Guess I should have mentioned that when I made the request, but usually artists don't say they draw loli unless they mean hentai loli. Plus I'm of the opinion that teenagers aren't considered loli. Eh...

If you want to check out their other artwork, she goes by Obakawaii on Hentai Foundry.

She has agreed to finish the sketch for $20. ...

Kendra's Palace Expansion

These past few days I've been doing a mix of working on the right section of Kendra's Palace and checking out / contacting / communicating with artists. One of the artists didn't want their work associated with any material involving rape. I was hoping I could still get them to do a sketch for fun but, unfortunately, I don't think they're going to write me back. Why the sketch? Well I've been "attempting" to get artists to sketch Howleen (of Monster High) when I'm unsure of what they can do. Eve...

Sex Animation Conflicts

Well I've been using the same RNG (random number generator) for Sienna's faces and for the random sex animation bits.  Apparently this was a bad idea. While trying to test the anal animation I set all the random numbers to always be 1. Well this didn't work out. The animations still seemed quite random, and those set to display when it is 1 are rarely seen. It became quite obvious when I temp changed the health display to instead display this number.

I believe changing the variable u...

More Tedium & More Artist Woes

I've been working on copying the events for the sex animation and renaming the stuff in those events to work with alternate filenames. It's slow and tedious, but I think it will be worth it in the end. I may end up just using this new set as a doggy style variation, rather than trying to pass it off as a  placeholder for anal. Also, I haven't heard back from the animator that I had high hopes for. It's been about 10 days and nothing. I even messaged him a few days ago.. nothing. Why are art...

Placeholders

I decided to try and work on the anal animations today (similar to the larger sex animation). I'm using stuff from Violated Heroine as placeholders and there are a lot of missing images so there will be some strangeness to some bits of the animation (like a green body).

I'm considering going back and trying to figure out what conditions, codes, etc.. I may have left out of the previous animation. Problem is, I stopped working on it in the middle of it, went back later to try and figure ou...

Bordello

Still working on the new sex event for Kendra's palace. I have one small part of it finished but I need to add some player choices, variations that depend on Sienna's personality, sexual preferences, etc.. etc..

Also thinking about removing the challenge room (or replacing it). It just seems pointless now. The only purpose for it previously was in case the player wasn't getting enough exp from killing monsters. Now there's so many monsters and they all give plenty of exp (and there will b...

Boring Stuff

I need more NPCs, so this morning I'm working on converting the character sheets from RPG Maker 2K3. Paste the characters onto a new layer over a palette, space the columns out an additional 4 pixels, then cut/paste the rows' facing to go down, left, right, then up. Delete green screen, hide palette, flatten image, save, repeat with next set.

Not exactly fun, but it's necessary and been a long time coming.

Butt what?

I've been working on the butt thing again this morning. Took me a few hours to figure out how to get it done. The script I'm using for the menu images did not want to cooperate at all. I wanted to layer the butt image under the semen images and it absolutely refused. The butt kept going over the semen image (not to mention the coordinates I indicated for the semen were doing nothing). In the end I decided I didn't need to layer it. I doubt adding semen on the pussy for this image later, but we'l...

Medical View

Not entirely sure that medical view is a good name for it.. anyway..

I decided to work on the display stuff a bit. I wasn't too happy with the external semen images that I already had, so I decided to redo them. I also decided that Sienna's internal butt image isn't really that good, so I decided to replace it.

Here's a sample image of what it will look like after two times having anal sex:

Keyboard vs Controller

Had to make a trip to The Mines for some ores for outfit upgrades. I
noticed that boulder that you knock away with the cart doesn't stay gone
 (annoying bugger). Guess I need to look into that. Also, it's kindof
annoying to have to use the minecart to keep going back and forth
between areas so I might put switches in places that will lower a bridge
 or something like that.

My hands have gotten kinda tired and achy from playtesting.
I should probably st...

Dartmouth

I needed some cloth for the outfit upgrades so I decided to go to The Vinery. After gathering quite a bit I decided to try out the first boss there, Dartmouth the Treant. Well.. the fight wouldn't start. Oops? I guess I stopped in the middle of fixing that up.
I think I have it almost fixed now. Still might need a tweak or two. Just remembered a typo..

Closed Beta

This is version FSA CB Abyss 0.6

Hopefully everything works out alright. I've tested up to the point where you can get to The Abyss and get all your tools. I've also included save games, so you might not want to copy over your previous folder.

More Fixes

I finally decided to see if I could figure out the bartender's issues. Apparently when Sienna has sex with him he was turning in the wrong direction (which is why the game was locking up). Fixed that, then noticed him slowly trudging along.. so I fixed his speed.

I had to study about why him and the other two girls would just sit there after sex. After looking at the event, I noticed it was telling them that the event was over too soon.. so I moved that, and they now go back to their spo...

Ivory the Skeleton

I guess that's a strange name for the giant skeleton boss. Anyway I thought I'd try him out a few times and see what could be done to improve his room. The main complaint I've gotten here has been players not knowing if they're actually doing the right thing (and being confused when that chest drops). It's been a long time coming, but now he has life point indicators (a few fiery skulls near him that go out every time you hurt him). I'll see if I can add a fire animation on top of him as well wh...

Fulvous and Tower Fixes (wut?!), and stuff

Well sorta. I've been avoiding the Pick/Axe quest so far because... well I'm avoiding it. xD   But while exploring The Dungeon I decided to give the new Fulvous a try.

And... well... ouch?

At any rate the boss fight is nice and challenging. I don't see any need to change anything. Some death animations would be nice, but not necessary.

After that, I decided to revisit The Tower (since I had the acid). There were a few issues (gold coins graphic turning into a tur...

Children's Wardrobes Finished

Finally finished all the children's wardrobe upgrades. Will continue updating the monsters now in the morning.

But for now, time for sleep!

Oh, and I may have found a very good animator. I haven't seen their
animations yet, but from what I've seen they're a great artist. Gotta
wait and see I guess.

More Abyss Tweaks

I decided I had enough of the laggy fans on Dungeon Level 1, so I replaced them with less laggy versions. Also, I updated the monsters in The Dungeon, giving them double life and damage. Initially I gave them 5x life, but that was just annoying so I went with 2x.

This means your kids kinda get the short end of the straw though, with many starting with only 50 or so vigor. Not to mention being level 1 and all. I know they also have their upgrade trees with the stained glass thing and all,...

Abyss Tweaks

I made backups of the saved games and I'm now going through The Abyss, making changes and tweaks where necessary.

The (currently two existing) night events in The Abyss are a little awkward, but they do at least seem to function. I do need to adjust that a bit though. I would prefer Sienna to say she needs to sleep before the events just intrude all over your business. "Wait.. what's happening? Is it bedtime? Wait.. no? What is this?" - type of confusion is not good. I'm going to add ...

Final Tower Fixes (starting on The Abyss soon)

I fixed several things as I was finishing up with The Tower. I still have several tweaks I want to make (like that fight with the jailer at the end, since the background is all wrong, and stuff). While finishing up the battles at the end I noticed The Sad Muki is impossible to kill after Dillon is gone (even with Kendra's help). I decided to completely change the Sad Muki. For starters, it no longer hides. :)

I also did fixed the sprites a bit since the luminous sprites were giving way to...

More Tower Fixes

I've finished playing through The Tower aside from clearing out the monsters. The stealth bit needed a fix where the switch guards were moving around (leaving the switches unguarded). Oops?

I decided to go ahead and test all of the temptation events in The Tower. The monster events seemed fine for the most part (graphical anomalies aside), but there were a few bugs I hadn't gotten around to fixing yet. I wasn't particularly happy with the scorpion/centipede temp. event (a bit awkward) bu...

Artist Woes & Internal Fixes

Well I've been contacting artists on Deviant Art and still no luck finding someone to help with FSA. I put a bunch on my watch list though. I'll keep sending notes until I find a good match for FSA. :)

Aside from this I did some more playtesting. I got to Internal and when I tried to start the fight.. crash. Well I guess I forgot to designate the new music file after changing the name of it. Oops? Well that's fixed now. I noticed that one eyeball doesn't really move around that much, but ...

That darn dog...

While playtesting I decided it would be a good idea to try and fix that horrible mult-bark, multi- "There you are. It's time for your checkup." glitch on days 16 and 17. Of course this only ever happens on days 16 and 17, so most players probably don't pay the glitch much mind. There's also the issue of Dillon standing there at the door like he's totally fine  and totally not caring what happened on day 15.

Well I decided to fix it, and it was horrible, and it took me all morning. B...

Some Tower Stuff

I hope my constant updates on what I'm doing aren't too annoying. Should I make a twitter account for that? Well if you guys mind it then let me know and I'll see about doing that.

Anyway, since Sienna's kids are going to be available as soon as you get to The Abyss, I wanted to put Kendra in The Tower. So~ I added an event in the gambler's den to lead up to it. I noticed the event wasn't firing because I had already talked to the guy that's in the way leading to the behind-the-curtain s...

The Mines

I thought I'd take a stab at working on The Mines a bit, and I didn't really get much done.. I got the outlines copied from another larger map I had done of The Mines. That was from ages ago. I had wanted to do one large map of each dungeon instead of 10 maps, but it resulted in huge amounts of lag.

Beyond that, thinking about what to do just made my brain want to flop around like a fish out of water. I guess I need to wait a bit on The Mines. I think one issue I'm having with it is that ...

Playtesting...

Well I figure it's time I played through a bit so I can better understand what's going on in the game. I started from a save just before the fight with TBS (The Black Spider). So far I've fixed a couple things, the Shrome room dialogue (said Error? under some conditions) as well as the rocks giving some flare time when they're mined. That was a little strange.

I'm going to get some sleep for now, but in the morning I'll either play through some more or start working on adding some Dungeo...

More Vinery Stuff and The Blackwood

I finished adding a few Vinery gates and rewards behind them. The Vinery is pretty much finished except for some boss adjustments and lightlock teleportation. Well.. assuming there are no bugs, and there probably will be. xP

Also, I've started working on the monsters for The Blackwood. So far I have a couple picked out and I fixed up one sex animation for each one. I'll try and work on more positions tomorrow. If they seem too awkward then I might just leave it at one each.

I thin...
