Case closed! It's finally over! :D

It's such a lovely day! After several reassurances from me, they finally closed the case against my Patreon. I feel so free now. :D

" Thank you for confirming that to me -- in the future, should you have  any questions or concerns about any scenarios in your game working  within our guidelines, don't hesitate to let me know. I'd be happy to  provide guidance!

I appreciate you taking the time to make the necessary changes to your game; your page is good to go."

Rape to be removed as a gameplay mechanic

Hey everyone! Well Patreon feels that rape as a gameplay mechanic can be fetishized, so I'll need to remove it from failed combat in future versions. 

Rape in the story segments (several instances in The Tower, the kidnapping event, that rapist in Kendra's palce, etc..) should be fine, but I'll ask if these changes will be enough to satisfy their guidelines. I have seen in their guidelines that a project with content such as that found in Game of Thrones would be OK.

I'm not sure ...

Reported for glorification of rape?

Well that's a hassle. I'll try to get the confusion cleared up. I believe someone passing by must have seen the prostitution images and combined them with the description of rape events in my planned features.

I know I seriously need to work on the detrimental effects of low tranquility in the game, but I'm seriously flabbergasted that anyone would view the rape events in the game as glorious. I've always thought of the rape events as sad (and frustrating at best), and have tried to depic...

New portraits? (Bebecake style!)

Hello everyone! I asked Bebecake to draw Sienna's portrait and would like to know your thoughts. If everyone's happy with her new look then I can proceed with commissioning Bebe for the portraits for every character in the game. Looks fantastic to me, but let me know what you think. :D

Rocks rocks everywhere

Hey everyone! Just sharing an update on what I'm currently working on. Remember the rocks that I mentioned updating all the common events on? Well now I have to go through the whole game and replace all the rock events. Fun! ... *twitch*

Hopefully it won't take tooooo long. I'll keep you updated. :)

Zone-Tan

I was a little disappointed in some things. The hand and feet seem too big. There's also some rather dark coloring on her body, in some places. A decent reference though. Love that face! :D

Kendra on the job (and $30 tier removed)

Here's the other half of the latest image from Mavis.

Also, I should mention that I decided to remove the $30 tier. There are a number of factors involved with my decision to do so. If anyone's still interested in that then it can be available, but only on an unofficial basis. Just message me and ask about it. Thanks!

Sienna with a customer

Artwork by Mavis: http://www.mydirtydrawings.com/

Here's the first image that will make it into the rotation of the images that will be shown while Sienna prostitutes herself in-game. Hopefully there will be many more to come. At least 20 different images per position would be nice.

If you have any ideas or suggestions for characters you would like to see her with then let me know. Even popular characters are f...

To those that leave-

I know there could be a variety of reasons for you to delete your pledge. Whatever they may be, I'm sorry it's come to that and I really appreciate all of the support you've given me. I'll try and keep a record of those that leave, along with their lifetime pledge amounts, and honor any applicable tier rewards if you should ever want to claim them.

I do ask that anyone deleting their pledge please continue to follow my Patreon page. The game is and will remain free (excluding the final ch...

A New Tier! (and stuff)

I think I should reward patrons that have been around a while, so I've decided on a few changes. Namely I've changed the $1, $10, and added a new $30 tier to make things more interesting. I'll change the $3 and $5 tiers as well, soon-ish. (mostly to make them look prettier, hah)

First I'll talk about the $10 tier and what it means. If you want FSA to remain free then you've nothing to be concerned about. As far as The Abyss is concerned,  full access to it will remain free. Sienna's ...

First Whoring Image

Artwork by Mavis: mydirtydrawings.com

This month I'll be commissioning several images of Sienna and friends having sex with a variety of denizens from The Abyss. Here's Sienna (right) and Kendra (left) having sex with a couple abyssians. In all likelihood these will be separate images in-game.

When other characters do whoring work, I'll probably have it automatically tacked on at the end of each of Sienna's "jobs" (meaning you won't get part of their cut if you're not working too!)...

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving!

Things have been a bit hectic here lately, especially since I'm forever trying to organize my room and all the junk I've collected over the years. But anyways, Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope everyone had a nice holiday and plenty to eat. :)

I have pretty much finished up the new whoring system, aside from menu stuff. I've also added a system for displaying a background image whenever Sienna gets a client. I'll be commissioning Mavis to do several of those this month.

I also g...

Whoring Update

I've got the new whoring system implemented and replacing the old curtain in The Tower now. It's still a bit rough and needs a lot of work concerning information in the menu.

I also need to eliminate some text, as there is a paragraph before this one that tells the player what type of sex the customer wanted, whether Sienna allowed that, and then tells that they accepted what Sienna had to offer. It's all rather pointless to say. Players just need to know what type of sex was had, how mu...

Whoring System Progress

The system is set up pretty good but is currently a series of common events. There's no in-game event accessing them, but that shouldn't be too difficult to take care of.

I believe I have all the STDs (about 10, I think) fully implemented and working now. Currently you can only get them while whoring. I'm not sure if that should change or not. 

Most (11) of the new whoring related traits (15 total) are also implemented now, with a few exceptions due to their greater complexity. I ...

A few aesthetic changes

I'll be changing Infections and Disease to Toxins and Fatigue. This won't change how they work. I felt this change was necessary while working on the new whoring system namely because there could be conflicts when talking about disease and STD's. Also, changing Infections to Toxins allows it to have more use as well. Toxic air, water, enemy attacks, etc..  

These changes will mostly require some amount of work with the menu and possibly a few item descriptions. Spirit still needs to ...

Risks of Whoring

I don't want to include any real-world STDs in FSA, as it is a different world. There's a number of other reasons and Sienna could also be immune to them. With that said, the "problems" she will get from whoring will be more of a psychological or fairy thing. Like she might get cooties if her integrity is positive, or get a digestive issue from oral sex (such as needing to eat or drink more).

I'm setting this system up such that getting the same STD again will make the duration stack. It...

Anna (Petite Version)

Artwork by Mavis: mydirtydrawings.com

For those that aren't familiar with Mavis' non-FSA related work, Anna is one of his older mascot / flagship characters. Anyway, since he's been doing all my concept artwork I wanted to include Anna in FSA.

This may be a bit spoilery for some, but while FSA is set in a fantasy world, the universe is sci-fi. Anna will be replacing Zone-Tan at some point, so I wanted to get a petite concept of her (not a fan of large breasts, sorry to those that a...

Finally! (All debris events replaced!)

 Wow that was tedious! Now I can go on to working on more interesting things, like making all the different areas more interesting and fun by adding some treasures and such. Plus I'll be working on the new whoring system soon now. :D

Just a bit further!

With replacing the debris events I have finally reached The Crypts! Every other area in the game is now updated with the new debris events. The end is finally within sight now. :D  Thankfully The Crypts have a lot of repetition as far as debris goes and I can copy/paste more frequently, without having to change the event's image every time.

Aside from this I've also been making a notepad file with all the planned changes I want to make to the whoring system. The area you can do this...

We both forgot her wings! (oops!)

Just posting the holiday image again (with wings this time!). Both me and Mavis forgot Sienna's wings. I wonder if anyone else noticed? x]

Outfit (system) Overhaul

Art by Mavis: mydirtydrawings.com

I'll plan on overhauling how the outfits work. Currently the system I'm using is just too bulky. I want to change it such that an entire outfit is simply 1 item. This means you won't have the ability to play with the paper doll system anymore, but you will have the option of equipping the outfit as an item, which will show up on Sienna's in-game sprite AND on her paper doll in the menu.

I believe this change will help me to be more versatile with h...

More Event Replacement, and Stuff

Hey everyone. Sorry progress is so slow. I'm still working on replacing all the debris events in the game with versions that can be picked up for organic material. I finished replacing all of them in The Vinery (including Blackwood and Manor sub areas) and I'm now working on replacing all those in The Dungeon.

Clarinda's new sprite was recently finished by Bebecake. I'll try and put together a .gif file to show her off soon (when I'm not feeling so lazy).

I'm seriously thinking abo...

(a rather small) Progress Update

Hey everyone! I just thought I'd let you know what I've been up to. I've been brainstorming game ideas as usual (speaking of which, does anyone miss the monthly game ideas? I know I've let it slip by the wayside but I could pick it up again). Thus far I've only put effort into short detailed descriptions of those games into notepad. I try not to start turning any of them into actual games because I know FSA would suffer for it.

Speaking of FSA, I've been going through the painstaking pro...

Sienna & Kendra

Artwork by Mavis: http://www.mydirtydrawings.com/

This isn't exactly how I wanted the image to turn out, but I'll just go ahead and post it here. Mavis was only available at unusual hours and that didn't really work out for me, so I was only able to tell him to correct a few things, and some of those ended up worse than they were to begin with.

In the end, it does sorta work as a concept/placeholder.

Wha...

Overhaul Progress

Sorry things are progressing slowly. Anyway, I've just finished replacing all the resource entities in the tutorial levels. All tutorial boxes should no longer "half close" while they're being broken down for wood. All banded iron rocks there use a somewhat updated system wherein I can now locate them more easily in the editor, they break faster (no jump animation), and the notification of what you just got is immediate (no text delay). Plus, time is paused while the text is on-screen.

I...

Vallerie's New Makeover!

Bebecake has done an excellent job on her. Here's Vallerie with her full outfit as she will appear in the next update. Clarinda is up next. :D

Clutter = Organic Material?

Remember the cracked skulls, bones, and other tidbits of trash laying around the various levels? 

It would take a while, but since I'm going through all the levels to do the overhaul anyway it's not a big deal. 

Anyway, I'm thinking about allowing players to pick them up as Organic Material. They could all always just give +1 organic material, regardless of her transmute skill, but I could also base it off of her skill. 

Let me know what ya'll think of the idea. In o...

Tool Upgrades

It's not as much of a complaint now that sprites can be equipped in a different slot (of course I didn't convert them all, but that will change in the next release), but players have complained before about the necessity of equipping the various tools. 

Well, I want to change this, but not entirely.

Every type of tool will have an upgrade later on in the game, and since I'm doing an overhaul anyway, I've decided that the tool upgrades will bypass the need to have said tool equippe...

Starting the overhaul!

First step? Mushrooms! For the sake of simplicity I have decided to eliminate all the resource costs of picking mushrooms.

At first I was going to have it that you merely bump into them and Sienna automatically picks them, but it just doesn't feel right. So you'll still need to press the action button. She will no longer struggle or go back a step, and it's now much faster (and therefore more fun) to pick mushrooms. :)

Overhaul/Quality Control or Story Progression?

I'm a little torn at the moment. Of course I will be getting new sprites from Bebecake on a (approximately) monthly basis, which will improve the look of the characters in the game.

New portraits are something I would like too, especially for those characters that don't have any yet, or are currently using my sad placeholders.

Well that's stuff I'm hiring others to do. What should "I" be working on? There's a variety of things that should happen, but I would like your input.
