Devlog #6 - Version 0.7 in the works.

Hey! It's been awhile since I've made a devlog, just needed some time to think about the progress of the game and how to move forward with it. There were some things that people have said about the game that I just can't help but ponder about. Too much overthinking on my part as well.. But I've made a decision, and I'm now working on 0.7's content.

More R-18 Stuff

Firstly, more R-18 content where I'll finally introduce th...

[Characters #1] - VN Creation

Probably the first thing you'll ever do first, are character creations. It's really the base point I started from, way before I started coding and script writing. It's also one the more exciting process out of the whole thing. It took awhile for me to plan out the whole maiden lineup, but I had a great time creating them.

There's just something so satisfying about realizing a character from your head into the world. Deciding what clothes they wear, or if they wear any s...

[Assets #1: Awesome Ren'Py] VN Creation

There's this really amazing compilation of bookmarks that someone made to document each and every useful Ren'Py tools/code/assets and related things. It's really hard to list it all, because the guy thought of nearly everything.

Devlog #5 - Illusion Shutting Down?

Hey guys! It's been awhile since my last development log. I do like these posts as they really show what's been happening behind the scenes. And we have a big one..

Illusion, the developers behind the Honey Select, and Koikatsu series of games, is shutting down. This is really big, I don't even know other games that does the kind of thing they're doing. Maybe Daz3D, but it's a different art-style. They say it's because they just don't make enough money. Which is crazy, ...

[Coding #1: New Gym Location] - VN Creation

A little bit of something different here. I'm posting a glimpse of what it looks like beneath the game. The code, so you will. Those code-savvy of you might scoff at how disastrous it is, but I'm honestly proud of where I'm at now. I literally started from nothing last year.

For the rest... it looks intimidating, but it's actually fairly easy to create a VN as long as you're only creating a simple VN (Story + Branching Choices).  Attempting an open world/ sandbox mechanic is.... st...

Maidens of Power (Version 0.5.5)

Hello all! This is going to be a mid-version update, as the content I've planned for 0.6 is too overwhelming for me to manage within this month. So... this is what I've got for now!

What's New ? (+156 Images, +7 Animations)

Please enjoy Rui's story update for this version! Hopefully next one won't be as long to update, as I've build the script for most of what I've planned. Expect a new Rena story update, and some open world shena...

Devlog #4 - April Progress Update

Man.. It's been awhile since I've made any posts. April was a pretty busy month for me, and I was sick for nearly a week. Luckily I'm back! And I'm rendering scenes for the next update! As you can see it's going to be a new Rui chapter. As well as Rena's second chapter. 

I'm still working on ideas for the open world, and I'm contemplating just winging it like I always do, but... it's still a lot of work. I've been siding towards an objective based open world (missions/quests), rath...

Hotfix Update #1 - (Rena's Path)

There seems to be an issue with Rena's new storyline (new maiden), where you can't access it if you've played Hana's story in version 0.4. 

Note : New saves are not affected!

If you're playing an old save, it isn't crucial to update, as you can still access the new chapter through the gallery replay in the journal, and future updates should already fix this issue too.  

But if you encounter this issue, and you're on PC, you can apply a qui...

Devlog #4

Hello everyone! Hope you're all doing great.. I've been progressing quite a bit for version 0.5. I just need to render one more chapter for the maidens and we should be good for a march update soon!

Btw, this is the new maiden, and as you've noticed, I've been dropping hints of her all throughout the game. And she's finally here! If you're curious what power she has... Well you gotta play it when it comes out then. :D

This update might be even bigger in s...

Devlog #3

Hey guys, I've been very happy with the release of version 0.4 and your feedback has been great! More happy about the money but still.. Thank you for all your support! 

I've noticed some people mention that my game should be better as a long lone visual-novel, but I disagree. Firstly, I don't think I can personally create a good script that blends everyone together in one cohesive structure, as there will always be that one character that gets left out, or not get enough s...

Devlog #2 (Sneak Peek)

It’s been awhile since my last post, and I’ve almost finished version 0.4 - Right now it’s the polishing phase, adding music, checking for bugs and fixing the code. Majority of the renders and animations are done.

This is going to be my biggest content update ever. There’s going to be a story sequence with Claire, Rui, Rachel, and of course our newest addition to the maidens, Hana. I’m getting pretty efficient at doing renders on HS2 now, and I just realized how great writing ...

Howdy everyone! Hope you guys are doing great! I’m just doing a little bit of a progress update, since it’s been awhile I’ve done one of these. It’s just been release after release on my Patreon feed.

As you all might see, I’ve been trying to hit a monthly release for Maidens of Power. It stresses me out, not being able to reach my target for the month. I might change this update schedule for the better, as it affects the quality of each release.

That’s what I’m try...

New Game Progress Update

Hey Guys! Hope you're doing great, here's a little bit of an update in my new game.

Firstly... it is taking a lot longer than I expected to develop this. It might be because I'm trying to develop both a Story-Focused VN, along with a Free-Roam aspect to it, which hinders my development time by a lot.

I've finished up the code on the free-roam, so it's really just adding content to the various locations involved. Story is going pretty great, as I just finished up the intro sequence...

Do you like sandbox or more story-focused VNs?

I've been wondering if people here are more interested in sandbox games or story focused visual novels. I've been trying to really try to include some element of sandbox in my future game, but I do want to tell a story in the end.

Sandbox : VNs with emphasis on free-roaming and unlocking different girl's paths. Mythic Manor, Harem Hotel, etc.

Story-Based : VNs with a story to tell and usually incorporate ...

Lucky Janitor Version 1.0 (Out Now!)

I've finally finished my first project using Ren'py and Honey Select 2!

This is quite the milestone for me. Considering I was completely new to literally everything. I had no experience in Ren'py. No experience in Honey Select. No experience in writing. Audio selection was also a bitch to think about.

But hopefully this game will be somewhat enjoyable. It probably won't wow anyone with it's mediocre writing. I literally wrote what I rendered. That's right. I had no direction whats...

Lucky Janitor Update #1

Hey y’all I know I promised something last week, but this whole process is taking longer than i though.

Secondly : This was my first attempt at a visual novel. There might be inconsistencies in animation, lighting and script writing. I planned, wrote and rendered the wh...

My first game!

Hey everyone, so I decided to make a really short game/comic about a lucky janitor.

Plot doesn't really matter at all here.. I'm just trying my hand in creating poses and animation in Honey Select 2. Seeing which lighting is best and such.. It's not going to be the best, but I promise it's only going to get better.

Also I'm trying to get the feel for my process : how fast I can create the script, code and the renders in a day.

I'll release it within this week. Hopefully.. View Post
