Timmy

On the update: I'm still figuring out college & work, update might take some time but with the new structure no one's getting billed until I get something on the table. This is not an update just a Patreon-only post so it won't cost you guys.

On the art:

Timmy's character art is finished. It's a left over from the previous character poll, sorry for taking so long. Original artist commissioned didn't go through by the deadline so I contacted so...

Important tier change

tl:dr; changed the Patreon tier structure to per-release so everyone should change to the new tier because it's cheaper now than the original.

As I detailed in a previous post I just added a new tier. But Patreon is weird, I could change the tier structure (from monthly to per release) but I couldn't change the cost (from 5$ to 3$) so we're in a bit of a limbo.

There are 2 tiers now: one archive, one active. I recommend you guys move from the archive to the new ac...

v0.2.4.1

Managed to finish up the version a bit late, but here it is. I'm still in the process of figuring out how to balance my time between college and work to find space for the game but I'm getting there. I'll make the new tiers sometime tomorrow to make the schedule more flexible (details in the last post but I'll write another one once I made the update).

Quick update about Patreon

Tl:dr; I'm going back to college and will have to change the Patreon setup after the next release. It'll be roughly the same just instead of a large monthly flat membership, it's going to be a smaller "per update" patronage (all optional).

I'm starting college in September. Normally stuff like this wouldn't affect the game, I'm usually working on it on the weekends with a full-time job on the side. But as usual, schools throw a wrench into the mix, I'll probably have fi...

Another character art poll

So while Timmy's art is in the works, I guess it's time to throw up another vote who should be next. I'm excluding him and Scarlett for now and adding new characters. The list is based on the computer contact list, everyone can find a short description for them there or on F95 where I also copied the list recently.

The poll will run for a week, but if there's a decisive winner I'll star...

v0.2.4.0 - Progression

Content is less story-oriented this time around, I expanded some outside locations, added a new play-zone and did some foreshadowing to the storyline. Most of this update is just rounding out the progression, two of the new locations offer scenes depending how far the player's...

v0.2.3.6 - Next level

I hoped to include Timmy's art this version but it's not finished yet. Heads up it's going to be a fairly different style compared to Scarlett's, I found an artist who mostly draws traps and they seemed like the best choice with open commissions at the time. What I didn't consider until now is the artist being Japanese, which might mean some censored parts.

So some "new" content this version is actually stuff that's been available to the other roles before. I slowly want to open up the ...

Scarlett

Scarlett's art was finished pretty quickly, the artist is @Toonguy100 on Twitter. This is the first art for the game, I hope you all like it.

Note: one of the four pictures is not relevant yet, I just thought there might be a path in the future for Scarlett where the strap-on could be swapped for something more - for now it's just eye-candy.

Timmy is still in the works. The goal is to do one for the major characters and if there's demand for it maybe do revisions ...

Quickfix

Just a quick update after squashing a few bugs in the most recent version (0.2.3.5).

Here is the new file.

v0.2.3.5 - Update on character art

I just got back from vacation so this update is slimmer than usual. I focused mostly on writing instead and finally commissioned the art for the characters. I'm subsidizing my week off with an extra commission so both Scarlett and Timmy should get an art as they were the two winners of the last poll.

Finding artists is difficult, of the ones I knew most were not open to accepting commissions at the moment. I had to go scavenging, found an artist for both characters but only Timmy got ac...

Poll for commission

I guess it's time to do it, I've been sitting on the Patreon contributions so far but now there should be some funds to pour into the game. This is not just a side hustle for me, I'd like to make the game better and I thought character art would help with that.

Since Arcade 18 is set in the future adding character art is going to be hard from normal sources, that's also why most of the cast is rather plain looking, it's easier to find visuals for them.

I'll put here some c...
