Malevolent Planet 2D - General Development Updates

Hey guys! I hope you're all doing well and that during these incoming holidays you'll have as much of a pleasant time as it can be.

I've been working on the shower content for day1 for the unity game lately, and here are the most important tasks I've achieved:

  • The second scene has been fully drawn and animated, a lightless preview is the image for this post :D
  • The first scene and the second scene have been added to the shower content, togeth...

Malevolent Planet 2D - Character Preview

Hi! I hope everyone has been doing fine for the past week. On Tuesday last week, I was stuck with an issue and I wasn't sure what priority I should give that compared to finishing the shower content. So, I've made a poll for patrons.

These were the results, so I knew I couldn't really delay this.

Character Window Poll

Hey! I'm working on content for the showers at the end of Day1 and I am implementing some coding mechanics at the same time.

Do you think I should work on making the below possible before putting more work into shower content? The character window would have a clone of the character portrait and equipping/unequipping items would update the character portrait automatically. (the UI is subject to change)

Malevolent Planet 2D - Full Speed Ahead

Hey! This will be a short one, but I thought I should keep you updated anyway.

I've recently bought another drawing monitor with a higher resolution and more accurate colors, but they mistakenly sent one that was already opened and humidity had gotten inside the display. Therefore I'm returning it for a replacement as we speak. It will help art from the game a lot, as colors and lighting are easier to detail with a proper monitor.

Right now I am duplicating an 1080p monitor on a 4...

Malevolent Planet 2D - Latest Developments with the Inventory System

Hey! I've recently released the proper build for the nurse update to all patrons and game-breaking bugs didn't occur, at least I haven't been notified of any :D

Therefore, I've been working on an inventory system to couple it together with the upcoming shower update. I'll detail my latest achievements immediately, and in the latter list the plan for the shower update with everything that I want to include.

Latest Achievements:

Malevolent Planet 2D Day1.1 All Patrons Proper Build

Hey! Since the 2nd testing build has proven to be stable enough, at least based on the lack of complaints about game breaking bugs, I've frozen further development on that build.

I've integrated more inventory system changes into the game and as it stands, the game is less stable while I'm working towards coupling the new systems into the existing architecture of the game's levels.

Malevolent Planet 2D - Inventory & Equipment System Update

Hey! It's been a short while since my latest public post, as I've been working a lot on bugfixes and integrations for the Unity game.

As such, I have some good news for you. I've managed to use an inventory system and develop integrations mechanics for it, allowing you to equip clothes from your inventory and also see them on a character window, each fitting its own slot.

I've also added music to the game, to set the mood a bit.

Therefore, there's been a lot of progress made...

Malevolent Planet 2D - Release Announcement & Status Update

Hey! As per my latest post, I've been sick and I was hoping by today I'd be completely back to normal.

Well, my estimate might have been too optimistic, but I'm good enough to do some work right now.

I haven't been able to update trello considering I had to break my workflow to rest, so I'll just list my progress from today in a couple of bulletpoints:

Malevolent Planet 2D - Status Update

Hey! Sorry for the radio silence in the past week. I've been working hard to implement the dynamic physics component into the past animations. The results may not be visible or perfect at first, but over time it will definitely make a difference as I learn how to use it better.

Other than that, I've been working on animating the first two-actor scene in the game (Patreon censors any explicit words). It could've gone faster, but I'm trying to do a todo list for future animated scene draw...

Malevolent Planet 2D - Nurse Shift Animations & Art TIme!

Hey! I hope your week has gone well. This post is a follow-up of the one I created at the beginning of the week. Back then, this area wasn't playable in any way. No content, no characters, no dialogues, just a blank slate.

Today, there are around 15 NPCs that will have their own exclusive content of both SFW and NSFW nature. More than that, you can actually finish the shift from beginning to ...

Malevolent Planet 2D - First Day as a Nurse

Hey! I thought about making this post quickly to layout what I'm going to do this week for the 2D game.

After checking out the ISA Garden, you'll be able to go to the Medical Room and start the first Nurse activity.

If you played other games with a bar/waitress job, this one will be a bit similar in the sense that there will be around 15 generic NPCs who've come to the ISA for medical treatment and each one of them requires your aid.

I planned to make this a minigame of sort...

Malevolent Planet 2D - No Brakes

Hey guys! Last Friday I did more "overtime" to get the tentacle animation finished and with that opportunity I've also done a bunch of QA & Bugfixing so that you can reach the ISA Garden Content without issues from the beginning of the game (at least from my own playtests).

As a result, I've released the "Day 1.0 Build" to $5+ Patrons, and I'm going to rel...

Malevolent Planet 2D - Definitive Chibi Style

Hey! As mentioned in the previous post, I planned a poll for today regarding the definitive character sprite for the 2D game.

I'll most likely go with the new one, because it's easier to animate this style walking around. The old one has a crab-like movement when it moves. Clothes will have to be drawn for the definitive character sprite, meaning that this is the best time to make this change be...

I'm working on the animation right now.

Malevolent Planet 2D - New Mechanics & Fixed PC

Hey! Things are finally taking off. Spent a few days back and forth rebuilding the drawing PC and setting everything up. Luckily, it ran on the first boot, but had to open the PC again to connect the front audio panel.

So, because the "drawing PC" is back and active, scenes can finally be drawn in addition to more complex artworks such as animating character movements.

Everything listed below can be clicked for more information, redirecting to the trello card for that listing. Her...

Malevolent Planet 2D - Things are in motion

Hey! Despite the hardship of using my old PC, I persevered and did some things to speed development up a bit.

Before I get into it, I'd like to announce that I bought a new PC component for my drawing PC even though it was supposed to be fixed by warranty to not wait too much on that. This means that next week I'll be able to draw again.

Alright, onto development things now. I've been lucky and the older PC didn't crash while drawing smaller assets (like the textures/sprites that ...

Malevolent Planet Unity2D Status Report - Return

Hey! I've returned from vacation recently. My PC for drawing had some issues with memory errors that led to progress being lost, so I sent some components back in warranty and waiting for them to all come back.
