Sock always knows how to make the best of a bad situation. If you're going to set yourself on fire, you might as well own it. lololol
I made this while I was out camping. Was working on this by the campfire. Was a ton of fun as I was focusing on just getting smooth movement and intentional action. Also trying to get better at being on model as well.
This has a lot of frames in it.

One day, driving home from work, my neighbor was doing yardwork wearing a thong bikini. I was like wtf and just gawked, as I drove by she just waved at me and smiled. I was like damn, what was fucking awesome.
I drew this immediately when I got home to record the memory lol.

Hey Everyone! It's been a minute.
I apologize the for extremely long absence since my last post. I'm still working on the new update but not gonna lie, development has been slow. I've been having some issues but I think they're finally resolved.

Hey everyone! Oh man, it's been a little bit.
Things have been crazy but they're back to normal now. I should have sent an update out that there'd be some slight radio silence. It was kind of a last minute thing but I ended up moving to a new house. It just kind of popped up and I jumped on the opportunity.
For the last few years I've been commuting 72 miles each way to work and I've been burning out hard slowly from it. It's been tough ...

Back to work on the new update! I took a small break since the release but it's not back to work.
I'm really surprised at how smooth this release went. Especially with how much changes were made to the game under the hood. I guess that's what taking your time and being thorough during the bug testing phase goes.
No new art to show at the moment. I've been working on studies though, but they're a bit nsfw to post here :P

It's finally here! It's been way to long and I thoroughly appreciate everyone who stuck with me through this long development phase. There was a whole exploration/combat module that was originally being developed that was never finished. I ended up cutting it to go just move forward with the story. Will continue to develop for the a future update though.

Hey Everyone!!! Bug testing has been great! Game seems to be running pretty smooth. I spent the last couple of days updating the UI....finally! Lol. I'm currently remaking the environment buttons to fix the issue with the weird white outlines.

Status Update - Bug Testing Progress
Quick update! Birthday weekend was awesome! Surprise trip from the GF :)
It was really good getting the first wave sent out for bug testing to a select group. They smashed hard over the weekend while I was out and gave really good notes.
Apparently, there was an issue with the questing order that would not allow Stephan to show up with the armor for everyone else. Really strange as when I played through on my PC, everything was working as is.
But we w...

Whoot! Finally finished the first stability pass and first round of bug fixes. This means I can finally move onto exporting the build and preparing to send out to a group of bug testers :) Then move onto releasing V0.1.50.
I've been working on playtesting all week after work @.@ It's my birthday this weekend and my gf is taking me out of town for the weekend so I wanted to get as much of this done during the week as I'll be indisposed the entire weekend. >:) 2022-09-23 04:49:08 +0000 UTC View Post
Status Update! Bug Hunting and Stability
Hey Everyone! I'm still working through the bug hunting and stability phase. I was hoping to put time towards it during the work week last week but was not able to start bug testing until the weekend. Last week was really insane for me with my job and personal life.
This weekend I put about 18 hours into bug testing and stability fixes. I still haven't finished going through the full game yet, I spent a lot of time fixing older bugs, adjusting some dialogue, etc....

All art and coding is now done.
I can move onto the Bug Testing Phase. Once I finish my rounds of testing. I'll send the build out to a few people to start poking at it for bugs.
Exciting times!
Status Update: Big Milestone Reached!!!
Hey Everyone! I'm really really close now. I just reached a big milestone which was finishing of posing all of the scenes. This took freaking forever. I think over these last 4-5 weekends, it's taken me about ~80-90 hours to finish this phase@.@
Tasks left to complete before bug testing:
- Art: Training Montage (In-Progress)
- Art: SFW Versions of Lyla's Training Animation (In-Progress)
- Playtest/Bug Squashing
Status Update!
Hey everyone. Just wanted to drop another status update as I'm sure everyone's hoping the next notification will be a game release lol.
I severely underestimated how long I thought it would take me to finish the rest of the content. I put another 22 hours in this weekend focused primarily on programming. Sunday was focused only on posing for one scene. It was a big scene but still, I forgot how long that can take me sometimes.

Status Update! More Time -_-
Hey Everyone! The dreaded news, I'm going to need a little bit more time. I got a lot of work in this weekend but had to cut part of my day today short that I originally had allocated to dev time, my dad needed some help working on something so I shot over there to help get it done.
I was still able to clock in about 16 hours this weekend. But I thought with what was left to that I could complete everything in the time that I estimated. It...

Really tired, but I got so much work done this weekend. Put in about ~20 hours this weekend in programming but still have a ways to go. Most of the logic is hooked up for this content and still need to finish up some posing for the scenes too.
Definitely going to need next weekend, hopefully I won't need any extra days after that. From working through some of the scenes, I realized there's a couple of incredibly last minute sprites that I would like to draw if I can sp...

Hey Everyone! I hate to do this but I need another week or two. It's mostly just programming that's kicking my ass a bit. Since my last status update, I thought I can close everything like in that time frame but had a lot personal stuff requiring my attention that slowed me down on development.
I get most of my dev time in on the weekends which is why I use week increments generally.

If you celebrate it, Happy Independence Day!
This was a fun thing to knock up today before heading out for fireworks and grilling. The fireworks are a particle simulation with the water being an animated bump texture which made it way faster to knock up then having to simulate the water. Reflections aren't that great but whatev's, I did this in like 1.5 hours lol.
