2023 START!

Hello, everyone! I hope your holidays were restful! (and for my retail workers, I hope the rush wasn't too hard on you ^^")

I have an announcement to make, the next updates will be a little different

Soul Leveling

This has been hinted at since the beginning of the project: options for giving heroes to your Servants or taking them for yourself. Taking the souls for the dungeon will allow you to make it bigger and fit more traps inside while granting them to s...

What would you be interested in this month?

I'm trying something new. There are three primary updates I have in mind and I'm putting the major focus up to a vote!

The 4th servant: An almagamate that needs to absorb heroes to fill out her assets and reach her full potential (CW: Vore/Fusion, gas, smothering, corruption/infection)

Gameplay Expansion: More rounds against heroes and a boss round

New Traps: A crush room trap, a "fire" trap, and a goo/slime trap

This ...

The 'Tapphouse' Times: Oct 2022

HEELLLLLOOOOOOOOO EVERYONE! :D

It has been a while since we've really talked! Things have been rough, thanks for sticking around ^^

Here is your long overdue general update for the last few months!

Tapp

I'm well and covid free...though I still need to visit a doctor. This crap goes for your lungs and shortness of breath is freaky...so that's getting checked out later this October. I'd shoot for sooner but the universe went "nah". Health permitting I'll keep working, ...

New Web Build is live!

My favorite part of the new build is when the Vore one says "it's Crawling Time!" Freaking epic! Best of my writing to date!

New prototype is up!

This is super basic, all things considered. It's a rough proof of concept, there are 3 endings, one is super obvious, so take that as you will. Enjoy!

EDIT:

New version is up, new link

This is 1 of 2 things I plan to finish before I go dark

Super short Slam update thing

Hello hello Patrons!

I wanted to update everyone on what has been happening with gamedev and projects lately:

1: Almost finished with part two of Beast Vid, work and life has been kicking my tail and writing is hard, thank you for your patience!

2: I learned about a sneaky, nasty bug in SBD so I'm taking time to build it back better. Hopefully this will be the last significant bug fixing/balancing update that isn't a content expansion.

Uhhh...we have reached an Executive Decision.

Here's what's happening: I'm focusing my effort on all remaining SBD related content that I have planned.

I thought that I could handle making videos AND developing the next bit at the same time while keeping the quality high for both. Actually no, right now I can't. I'm stretching myself too thin (where have we heard that before?) between new obligations and creative ventures and since I'm not mentally past SBD I feel like I'm drowning!

Sneaky Peep: Beast Vid part 2

I've had this on the back burner for a few months between everything and want to show you what I have in store for later. If the first part showed what made her personality/demeanor then this one will show the core of her character!

I hope you like what I got so far! Please tell me what you think :D

General Tapp update!

Heyo, Funky Base Ninjas! Been a minute since a proper update eh?

Things have been quiet on the southern front these past months and you deserve an explanation. Things were changing in my personal life so I wasn’t sure how to talk about it at the time; plus there was still holiday mania to deal with and, most importantly, a massive family crisis* to boot. 

Let's go through this in  a handy ordered list:

Big General December Update is up!

Howdy ho everyone! I put out an update on The Booru recently! If you want to see a vertical slice of what I tell Patrons and general updates about what's happening with me I highly recommend giving it a look! I'd love to hear from you!

Don't ask me why I chose December. No questions.

I don't think the powers that be would appreciate me posting a link to The Booru here so I'm here as a humble messenger. See you later!

Teasy thing-thing

I learned there were more ways to embed video here and really wanted to share a little public taster, a snippet, an hors d’oeuvre if you prefer of a side project. 

Only took a year to look into that....oh god...it has been over a year since this page opened...um...I need to lie down...

Stay tuned, everyone!

The 'Tapphouse' Times: Dec 2021

Howdy ho everyone!

This one is going to be slightly shorter than usual. Quick explanation: a lot happened with me between November and now. Mixed with the wall I hit with boss design and external pressures I had to switch to more pertinent things. That being said, not a lot of game dev got done. Please understand.

However...

Speaking of boss design, time to explain the headline photo! Remember that side project I mentioned last month? SBD ...

The Tapphosue Tiems November 2021

First things first: I've been dealing with a little creative block and personal stuff; we're past that, though, and things are shaking out nicely!

Two big scenes are all finished and even updated from the skeleton I've acquired! Adding extra small details here, an extra room there, just a few more fun details/features I wanted to add to make this sucker my own! Still figuring out how to do general Mob encounters; I'm certain I want to stray away from the random encounters, though, so th...

New cover art!

Smooth Serenade had my first big Antagonist and nearly a year later her debut demanded proper BOX ART! It took me long enough to share it here too. The ad/promo with respective tags is here and the teaser thumbnail with her key phrase is here too! 

It took me a while to figure out how to make her expression just right! Enjoy!

What's next?

Let me get the not fun part out of the way first: Ever since I finished the game and released I've been experiencing constant deluge of exhaustion, stress and frustration. I'm guessing the buildup from a year of near constant work (even when I tried and failed to take a break), personal nonsense and granular things that occurred over time, on top of what was happening in the world in general is finally getting dumped from my brain. Everything I bottled up from nearly two yea...

The time Tapp got real

This is gonna get sappy, but I really want to say this.

Like with the magnificent people that helped me test SBDTV, I can't thank you patrons enough.

When I opened this page on Dec. 12, 2020, I knew it wasn't going to take off despite my hopes to the contrary. The world was (and still is) freaking insane and I was (and still am) pretty obscure. I was hoping at best two people would become polygons. Honestly, though, I expected the page to sit at 0 for months. I realized, later, I ...
