A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these photosensitive epileptic seizures while playing video games. We are testing out features to reduce intense lighting effects over the next few builds of the game.

Some linework and rhythm testing for Sasha's Dance Animation. She doesn't have a tail yet but I'll put that in later.
2022-10-03 04:51:44 +0000 UTC View PostFinally, we have the option to charge Patrons on their renewal date!
I know there's been a lot of confusion and frustration with the old way of charging Patrons. But that is a thing of the past.
This does NOT affect Current Patrons. This ONLY applies to NEW Patrons.
For New Patrons:
New Patrons are charged on the day you join, and then monthly on that same date. For example, if you join on the 10th, you’ll be charged on that day, and then monthly on ...
2022-10-01 19:45:20 +0000 UTC View PostHey all, our server updates are finished and the Temp links should no longer work. I've sent out new links for everyone, so use the new links now.

Sorry for the delay on this. I've been running a bit slower than I'd like on account of some severe eye strain brought about after a recent migraine. Fortunately, the pain wasn't as bad as usual but the effect on my vision was jarring. Definitely feels like I pulled something in my left eye. I've had this happen before, It shouldn't take more than a day or two to heal up but I'll AFK for a bit -- After I get the new links moved.

2022-09-02 19:42:26 +0000 UTC View PostOur Host Server is currently down for on site maintenance. I believe this corresponds with a number of recent major software and service updates on the host's end. Downloads may be temporarily effected. I'm in the process of restoring download access for patrons.
Should have that fixed ASAP. I'll make a follow-up post when that's available.

Things panned out a bit differently for this update than I had initially planned. Sex Scenes will be coming in the next update, this is a performance check with Alpha Team members to make sure things are running better with fewer crashes. A LOT of work had to be done on the entire character animation system to fix a BUNCH of bugs caused by outdated 3rd party systems. Major bug fixes are complete for about a ...

2022 vs 2018 Sprite: There is still a LOT of work to be done on Jeanette for her other 7 angles, but the default sprite is done! I'm in the process of working on the remaining angles, the clothing for those angles, and the scripts needed to track all of the data.

I've had to contact Patreon because I can't link anything from the site using either the video or link posts. But I can just directly link in the body of the text.
So here's the direct link to the video for a tour of the Sapphire Caverns

Enjoy!

Here's a look at the current Sapphire Cave area and maps. This area has been expanded by over 10x from the original cave maps.
The center bottom of the second image compares the old map to the new map scale. Yes, that little brown square was the old map.

Fixing the last of the camera glitches relating to dialogue for a few remaining characters.
Implementing one more major terrain fix before launching 0.1f. This won't take too long. I'll let y'all know how testing goes on the first area around Sapphire Bay.
About 75% of the restoration process is already automated. That's already underway, the plan moving forward is to begin upgrading from some of the older hard drives that we have still in use which are external to an SSD array for application storage.
UPDATE Good news! We have an emergency application backup Drive that is currently getting dusted off and plugged into the main work computer which is going to be able to save me a lot of time. Pretty sure I made...

Still working on a number of performance tweaks. A recent windows update had MAJOR driver conflicts that both set me back around 5 hours AND have resulted in minor performance problems I am not addressing. During updates and performance tweaks I noticed the AQUA engine was taking a MASSIVE amount of GPU resources. While the Effects for underwater Exploration remain the surface water is now both stylized, stable AND has a shoreline animation system for WAVES! Personally, I think th...

It's funny, There is an automated tool that is designed to handle all of the processes to make the full-scale New Cyana map a reality. It didn't work..... so we brute forced a solution into place over the course of a month!
Alright, now to discuss what means on a more serious note: My backup plan to have a second build running the Unity 2018 has hit a few additional snags but the Terrain has been translated over, and det...

Alright! @Alpha Team & @Alpha Testers are going to be getting access to the 0.1f update real soon! I'm just about done bringing the interactive scenes from version 0.1e up to speed with new backgrounds, better motion and revised animations! All scenes will be getting several more detail passes as we continue moving forward.

Making progress with New Cyana updates. The last few days have been a little slow due to a few hardware-related delays. Nothing major, replacement USB Hub is in place and working perfectly, Back on track! Work resumes tomorrow. Also, I will not be streaming tomorrow, I'm getting close to launching for @Alpha Team & @Alpha Testers and I need to focus 100%. Lots of moving parts to keep track of! 2021-10-27 19:09:34 +0000 UTC
