Should I change the body ratio of the main character?

I received a comment on itch.io saying that the body ratio is a bit strange, with the legs being too short, making her look like a midget. Do you think I should spend time on making proportions different? It will take some time, because I will need to rebuild the clothes to fit the new proportions, but if it is really needed it is better to do it now than later when we'll have a lot of clothes. 

Progress on the development of Malevolent Planet - 19th June 2020

And today's patch notes are:

• Currently, there is no built-in way to check one inventory's capacity in the Universal Inventory System, but I have messaged HiEv and there are a few workarounds I can use that to the player will behave exactly the same as if it was built-in, just means a bit more attention from my side to use one workaround properly.
• 4 pubic hair types have been drawn and worked into the game. There are 5 col...

Progress on the development of Malevolent Planet - 18th June 2020

Today's patch notes are:

• Using the Universal Inventory System made by HiEv, I have added 2 possible inventories, a chest box and a backpack. There will be a chest box at the base, which will have a capacity of items you can hold, but I did not set it yet. The backpack will be carried by the player at all times, and it will have a limited capacity of items. Since there will be a ma...

Progress on the development of Malevolent Planet - 17th June 2020

Today I've:

• Centered the title of each screen, and had to center the map as well for symmetry.
• Wrote the full draft for a sexual scene demo I'm planning to release before the next update, as a preview of what future scenes will be like. You'll be able to pick your character's preset as normal, but on the Introduction Screen you'll be able to jump straight into the scene. 
• Worked on a lot of art assets for the game, there will be more diversity in the presets...

Progress on the development of Malevolent Planet - 16th June 2020

Patch notes for today's work:

• Ported the entire game from Twine to VSCode with Tweego. It should make development faster, because syntax highlighting comes in handy. The people at the twine discord were very helpful. This took a while, because it is not very easy to move a story's files from Twine to  Tweego.
• Fixed an error during the Convincing Meren'goth scene, if you selected the first option it would not work properly.
• Fixed some minor g...

Progress on the development of Malevolent Planet - 15th June 2020

This past week has been hectic, with the HDD dying and the release of the game on more websites. I took the time to consider the feedback given to the thread and in conclusion, I have to reconsider some structures I've used so far in detailing the scenes. Games like Corruption of Champions rely mainly on text with a lot of words for each scene. This is what I was going for, too, but it is not easy to reach that level of skill within such a short time. Nonetheless, I will take my time when wri...

Malevolent Planet v0.0.5 Public version and latest news

Hey! The 2 weeks have passed since I posted the Patreon-exclusive version. Since then, I have tried to fix whatever I could find that was wrong with it (bugs and others), but I could not find many so.. ultimately I've been working more on the next version as much as I could given the fact that my HDD died.

The Life Simulator will mark release v0.1.0 as it introduces a whole new gameplay system. I have been drawing the next maps, a village and a city hub...

Cameltoe option in the game?

I received some feedback that cameltoe types may be desired within the game. Do you think they would be a worthy addition to the game? You can see a reference I was given below.

If yes is majority, I will draw some types of camel toe and they will be available within the character creation screen. Maybe it will also be available as a surgery option within the city hub later. (a city hub map is coming with the next dev update)

New HDD arrived

I managed to clone the old HDD's partitions so all the data is intact and I can resume working. 

Tomorrow I will post the public version of the game for everyone and after that I'll resume adding new features to the LifeSim update. New maps have been drawn and I will introduce them in the next development update since I will integrate them within the game through imagemaps.

With the addition of the public version, I'll also spend some time posting the game on Reddit, itch.io ...

Unexpected Delay

My HDD is dying and I ordered a replacement, I am working on what I have around, but most of my data is saved on the dying HDD and until the new one comes around (estimated Wednesday) new content will be sparse. My apologies.

Feedback on Sidebar Design Choice.

As seen in the last development update, I added some CSS for an interface that will allow the player to change the equipped item out of fights (who knows, maybe in fights too, the fight system is not yet properly thought). You can see this box again here.

Considering the gif shown below, do you think it would be nicer to have a sidebar on the right of the screen as well? 

The left si...

Progress on the development of Malevolent Planet - 5th June 2020

So, I haven't noticed any real bugs on the last release of the game and because looking for bugs can sometimes be more of a pain than fixing them, I started working on the next version. A lot of JavaScript code has been added into the game, all of it relating to systems that will build up the Life Sim.

• Base Upgrade. For starters, there are 6 upgradable parts of the ship. So far, I have included the following: Medical Facility, Communicatio...
