Teen Titans New Member - Progress Update

I've finished the base drawings for all the main characters (above) that will be in v0.1.0 (first release).  There will be other characters drawn in the backgrounds but they won't be the focus.

These are working totals for what will be needed for v0.1 and how much I've done.

6/6 Character Base Drawings

0/6 Lewd/Sex Animations (all with the same character)

0/3 General Story Animations

1/8 Backgrounds

0/7 Scene Drawings

Starfire Concept Art

Outfit Idea I had for Starfire that I left on the cutting room floor.  After debating myself for a while on it, I decided to stick with all the original outfits for maximum nostalgia factor.  So it feels like the show.  There will be special outfits for special occasions as required by the story, such as bikini's for the beach but for the most part I'll stick with the outfits from the show.

I also considered changing all of the colors slightly, such as desaturating everyt...

Teen Titans New Member - Art Style

I've arrived at an art style for the Teen Titans Parody VN I am working on (above).  It's very close to the original.

Characters will all have different emotions.  Special scenes will be drawn specifically for special story elements, and some will be animated.  

The story will consist of scenes like above with different characters talking to each other and special scenes that are animated or specifically drawn for those parts of the story sprinkled in.  Those s...

The Story

I've completed the first draft of the story for v0.1.0.  It's going to have animations and a sex scene with one of the characters, a little drama, some comedy, and some things people might find interesting.

The Art

This is my sticking point and something I do not want to do wrong.  Which is why I'm experimenting a lot with it.  I've attached some of my experiments with the art to this post, but please note: those are...

Started Development on Next Visual Novel

I'm started putting together my next visual novel.  For now, I'm creating basic storyboard sketches, to be fleshed out later, and setting up the code, and writing.

It will be an illustrated short story with choices.

The reason, I'm choosing for it to be a short story is so that I can continue to work on improving my illustration abilities, through practice and studies while working on this one.  After it's released, I'll have improved my digital drawing abilities further...

Candyland is a board game that was first published in 1948.  These characters are my own, and are all 18+.  They were inspired by the Candyland characters Princess Lolly, Lord Licorice, Queen Frostine, and a reimagining of a Gingerbread man.

In early Stages of Planning next Game


Hi.

As of today, I just re-enabled my patreon so that everything will be ready.

I'm in the early stages of planning and doing some writing for my next game, which will be a 2D drawn story based visual novel in renpy.  My aim is still to make something that has wide enough appeal that I can work on it full time. 

Feel free to unsub for now, as it is going to be a good while before the launch.  I estimate around 6 to 12 months.

Final KH Update Soon

Next update will be the final Kingdom update.  Coming soon.

This will have multiple possible endings, and fully wrap up the story.

While I have been practicing drawing unfortunately my skills are not yet good enough to be used with any kind of success for Into the Woods, so I'll be shutting down my Patreon after this final update.  

Thanks to every one who has supported this game.  I think you'll be happy with the final update and ending.

v 0.7.2 Released

Kingdom Harem v0.7.2 is released for Patrons.  This includes a new story for Emily's storyline.  It's also compiled with the new version of Renpy which recently came out, so it will be more stable with less bugs.

It's the same length of story as a regular update.  If you'd like to wait for a larger amount of story, you can wait for the next major version update to come out, which will be v0.8.0.  I know some people prefer this.

Update on KH

After releasing the Into the Woods teaser, I've come to realize that my drawing skills are not yet good enough to make that game successful.

So I will be doing the originally planned full story arc for Kingdom Harem.  This will involve more lewd scenes with more characters, more locations, and more drama and will be satisfying to play through.  On the side while I'm doing this I will be dedicating s...

Status Update - What I'm working on.

At the moment I'm fully focused on making the teaser for the next game, which is hand drawn.  The outline of the story is finished but needs more polishing.  The drawings are about 50% complete.  

I expect to be finished and have it released at the latest by the end of the month.  

After the teaser is released, I will work on KH until it's finished then move to focusing on the new game.

Does v0.6.0 open without crashing?

I got two reports on the thread of people not being able to run the game without it closing without giving an error message immediately after opening (before the main menu).

I'm trying to figure out if that's only specific hardware, or what's going on as renpy games are suppose to be able to run the same on everything.  Anyways, knowing if this issue is for most people or something very specific to their computers will help me.

Sex Noises Poll

What is your opinion on the sex noises (girl(s) moaning + sex noises) for the sex scenes (Example: Meg + the Guard)?

I had been getting ready to add them to the new scenes for the next update but I've been told some people don't like them in general.

Update + Android Poll

So... a few things.  First, I've decided to not do weekly updates anymore but to continue releasing as quickly as I can release good content, which should be more than once a month.  With every release, I will post what's new.

If you do want to know what I'm working the best place to ask me would be the Spoilers section of the Discord.  If you ask in the general section, I can try and give you a more general answer also.

WEEKLY STATUS UPDATE

I may discontinue weekly status updates if I'm able to continue releasing game updates at a more frequent schedule (more than once a month).  It seems redundant, since I summarize what the new content is for each release.  Let me know if you have strong feelings about this one way or another.

House Darkness Poll

Alright, I've got enough comments now on the house being dark to make it a worthy poll.

Should I make the house less dark at night?

Upsides:

  • Easier to see
  • More enjoyable

Downsides:

  • The light will look less natural.  I could place in a bunch more lights, maybe spotlights in the windows and try and make them look like moonlight, to get light bouncing around the rooms and re-render.
