Recent Developments - 10/9/2021

Hey! I've been meaning to post more updates lately, but I've been focused on fixing the last bugs and minor features.

I think we are at a point where we can finally return to our normal release schedule and to incremental changes across multiple versions. There were many bugs caused by the implementation of a basic RPG system for the clothes and your character. They are the reason for the temporary "freeze" in the release schedule.

Today I've fixed the last annoying bugs and tomor...

I'm Back… Again

Welp… I expected to post more since announcing my temporary leave, but it didn't go according to plan.

I didn't really want to mention it since I had a two week vacation in Greece back in August and I felt guilty to leave again in September, but this one was more of a medical trip. 

After a tonsillectomy, a septoplasty and another nose surgery in one, it turns out, you aren't really in the best shape to work. So, I've spent 2 weeks in that country (a popular destination for...

Malevolent Planet v0.2.1 Beta $5+ Tiers

This build is in a slightly better shape than the one I've posted a month ago, but it's not quite there yet. I hope that the additions I'm working on for the proper release of this version will make up for the delay!

Here's a MEGA link in case you'd like to see the latest changes. Thanks a lot for your support!

Recent Developments - 09/12/2021

I've been working on fixing this release a bit more, adding more clothing items and so on. After this post, I will update the builds for $1 and $5+ tiers with the latest fixes, but it's still not a "proper" release.

As announced in my previous post, I will have to fly away from home for about 2 weeks starting tomorrow, but not on a leisure trip. I'll be bringing my laptop, a tablet for drawing and I'll continue working on the game under less than ideal conditions due to the laptop being...

Recent Developments & Release Announcement - 09/09/2021

There has been a lot of work on the game lately, but I haven't done a proper job at publishing my objectives and their results in development posts. Since Trello has a nice UI, I will try to use it to show things on the roadmap in clearer detail. Here's what happened lately:

Jetlag - Resuming Development Gradually

Hey! It's been a while since my latest post. Fortunately, there had been no incident at the airport everything went as I had hoped. 

The country I took a vacation to was Greece, and with this opportunity I checked out popular sights in Athens. Akropolis was definitely the most impressive one. I've made sure to also check out their National Gardens park and I've seen a bunch of alien looking trees that we can use as inspiration.

Vacationing Notice (or not)

Hey! This one isn't strictly related to the game, but to development in general. I've been planning for a vacation since last year, and tomorrow is supposed to be my departure day.

I say supposed, because there has been a lot of stress about a potential visa issue which kept me busy and tired the past few days. The visa issue is caused by airline regulations potentially deviating from governmental ones (the consulate of the country I'm going to said that a visa for my circumstances isn'...

Malevolent Planet v0.2.1 Unfinished & Untested Release

Hey! This is supposedly the release for $5+ Patrons of the latest version.

Unfortunately, this build isn't in the best shape. I've been planning a vacation for a while and there has been a lot of stress with a potential visa issue, which kept me busy. I will go into more details about it here.

I'd recommend not playing this straight away, since it's technically unfinish...

Unique Stats Choices Implementation Poll

The results in the last poll were pretty clear, so I'll keep you posted on their development. For some reason, I had a feeling the sixth option would be really popular :D Below are the details of the next poll.

As you might know, I'm working on a RPG system to make the game more entertaining. The stats are grouped in two categories:

  • Main Stats. View Post

Special Suits/Outfits Poll

The results of the last poll were clear and I'm working on it, so here is a poll regarding what special outfits I should draw next. I've also been working on adding more individual clothing layers lately, so this is about special suits that might carry bonuses (such as shields or whatever) in the next update of the combat system.

These outfits are generated with artbreeder using different templ...

RPG Personality Stats Screen & RPG Clothing Stats Screen

Hey! I've been working lately on the RPG System and on improving the Character Screen to display your stats better. Later, I realized that clothes are also supposed to have an effect over your actions, and not just your stats. 

After a long discourse on our Discord, we decided that important clothing slots should have tags that show the important details about these clothes.

The values of these tags are from 1 to 5. The higher the value of one tag, the higher the chance that ...

Narrative RPG - 1st Poll - Character Stats & General Layout

The first part of the RPG system will focus on stats that can unlock fetish content and different approaches in separate events. They will later have an influence over the NSFW Combat/Normal Combat encounters as well.

First, there will be an Appearance stat. It will account for your currently equipped clothes and their particularities. For example, an outfit can expose more cleavage and that can help in taking advantage of a NPC's weaknesses in story and/or in combat. View Post

Should the personality match the text? - RPG Poll

While writing a few scenes today, I was seeking feedback from Cyrus on displaying thoughts and feelings in a way that's pleasing to read.

He told me it's bad to describe your character's feelings during certain situations, and I realized he has a point and I thought about a compromise.

Using the future RPG systems and the stats it will apply to your character, we can assess your character's personality using p...

Recalibration in Progress

Hey! Soon, I'll have more to share in my development updates. The votes from the last poll helped me out a lot.

The option for Combat System Improvements was surprisingly popular, and this made me rethink a few things. Here's what changed:

Malevolent Planet v0.2.01 Public Release

Malevolent Recalibration

Hey! This isn't a classic development update, but more of a general poll. As you might already know, I'm working on Sarah's and Melissa's quest introductions to the ship. However, on some days, the writing/drawing creativity is down and I can use that time for a different purpose if it's worth it.

Where do you feel the game needs more work?

I'd like to start by thanking you all for your patience and for your wishes on my last post. It hasn't been easy, but when something like this happens, the only thing we can do after their passing is to cherish their memories.

Back to Work

Hey guys. Sorry I haven't been posting any development updates lately. One of my pets, a dog whom I've had for about 8-9 years has fallen ill about two weeks ago and I've been slightly busy with getting her to the veterinarian and checking up on her often.
