Im still deep in thoughts about my further approach to developing H games, so im putting that aside at least until Im done with this month build for Gauntlet.

One thing I can say for sure - I will do more random art, since focusing on single thing for a long time will stagnate my skills significantly.

Here's a first WIP frame of little animation I was doing in a last couple days:

I am free

Earlier today I finished all that had to be finished :) Very tired, but happy and relieved

After such a long break from development Im feeling super motivated to continue

Today im staying up to fix my sleeping schedule, and tomorrow I will do absolutely nothing :)

And at Friday I'll start figuring out what's happening, where Im at and what have to be done. Then I will be able to infor you about what to expect, and how Im planning to do things moving forward.

Happy new year!

Hey!

Can't believe a month have passed since last post , feels like a few days :o
Doing the same thing every day does that to you :)

Fortunately there was no complications, and I'll wrap my work somewhere arount first week of January, and then I can come back to developement, so expect proper update in Jan, and maybe some other good news :)

I was thinking a lot about my future developements during last month, and have a lot planned for 2024

I will be fr...

Quick update

Just a post, so you know Im still there :)

As expected, I have no free time at the moment, and I won't expect it to change untill the end of the year, unfortunately.

I will try my best to cook something by the end of December, but no promises

Feel free to cancel membership, and come back (please) in January, whenever I can keep working on games with full power!

End of the year crunch

Hello there ( ˙▿˙ )/

As I mentioned previously, very busy period approaching quickly, and it's already affecting me more than I hoped.

I will have little to no time approx. untill the end of the year.
Good news is: im changing Job afterwards to less paying, but less time consuming one.

The question is, do you want very small updates for Nov and Dec, or should I bunch them together?

I will do my best to provide at least some content!

Quick update, 3 weeks left o.o

Hey ( ˙▿˙ )/
Quick update since quite some time passed since the last one.

I am proud to announce, that week afret last update I didn't do anything :^) (at least game related). But I got my new PC, so Im fast af now. Also catched a cold (unlucky).

Then I got a (almost) full animation ready in less than a week, that's pretty impressive for me :^), I hope I will have time to add more variance to it this month.

So Im on a decent pace rn, but futur...

September release Gauntlet 0.13

Thank you for waiting, update is here!

Quick note - From now on, I am gonna aim for one update per month (even if it's super small) for some consistency.
I'll try to focus on one task at the time, so I can release whatever is ready to the end of the month!

New pose with idle animations

Finishing touches, part two :p

Hey!

As I overestimated myself yet again, update Is still not there..

I've been feeling lack of energy lately, so I'm taking rest sometimes, to avoid burnout. So biggest reason of the delays is me not putting enough hours tbh (as well as being bad at estimating :))

I am currently trying to cultivate some ethics to be able to put hours to the development more consistently (with varied success), so I can provide at least one update per month.

I also wasn't satisfie...

Finishing touches

Hey!

Wanted to make quick update, since last one was quite long ago.

I was doing some action animations, then failed to do them, and switched to some other action animations :^)

There will be new pose, with transitions/idle animation, and one action for it with some variance. I also have head rotations ready, but idk if I will implement them now.

Base versions are basically done, need some polish and clothes variations

Here is unusual post with a quick little promo of a visual novel from ENVIFLOU

Developer reached out to me, offering to play latest build of his game!

It got fully animated scenes and, well, lots of porn (It mostly porn actually) Which is great, if you don't feel like reading for a several hours. If you liked old newgrounds flash animations, you will probably like it, an...

Back to development

Hey! ( ˙▿˙ )/

Getting back to development.
The plan is to do about 1-2 new interactions + something else (boards, games, random assets etc.) each update.

I will aim at update every 2 weeks, but I will fail miserably, so don't expect it please xD

Now I am attempting to get rid of one nasty bug, as well as tweak some game mechanics after all the feedback I gathered.

Also I realized that I'll have to turn Ancients head for some head-related interactions (li...

What’s coming next, Part 1 – The Gauntlet

Hey ( ˙▿˙ )/

I was planning to ramble a lot about it, but then decided to keep it rather short and to the point

Here’s simply list of features I am planning to work on in near future:

· Updated Interaction system interface.
If you have any examples of amazing interaction interfaces, lmk ;)
· Updates to current animations and dialogues (more subtle movements, better idle poses)

Tech Demo is here!

It is finally here! Thanks for waiting <3
It's not really a tech demo, but it sounds cooler
I even threw together a cover image! Apparently it's called Gauntlet now :D
Won't go into much details for now.
I am planning to figure out something like a roadmap tomorrow (or day after tops) where I am gonna cover everything I want to add/change, as well as other projects I...

Power Shortages :O

Hellow ( ˙▿˙ )/
My power getting cut a lot this week, so I mostly was getting tilted, and decided to draw a little bit.
The demo is basically done thou, should just test it couple more time, and I can drop it
Want to finish cover image first. Not feeling well today, so hopefully tomorrow, if I'm not gonna get sick.
I'll make another, more detailed post then, cya!

Getting there :)

Yo ( ˙▿˙ )/
I am sleep deprived, so Im gonna be quick :p
Technical stuff and some basic testing was done, there is scaling problem to fix, other than that all good.
There is problem with sound, as I have a conflict with composer, so probably no BGM for this demo. But i will try to add most of sfx, (some are temporary thou)
So with all that I might (or might not) drop demo some time next week. Don't want to set a deadline, since i have a bit unstable wor...

Main part done

Yo ( ˙▿˙ )/
Started this week with good old food poisoning :)
But other than that, with some UX features, game levels and more dialogues, content part of demo is done (yey)
Gave up on few features (for this version). I'd rather do them later, but properly
Some technical things, and testing on a horizon
I already want to remake so much stuff, but I gotta hold myself until this demo is out :^)

Took advice and chilled a biе, took couple days off, played some games (including H games) Can recommend Secret care cafe, if you ok with netorase(and a bit of grind), it have very nice dev :^)
Other than that, I kinda finished intro dialogue, made more facial expressions. There is a lot of improvements to be made, but I leave most of them fore later.
Now more random lines on the table, but expressions and code base mostly ready, so should be jus...

Stuck at dialogs :^)

Hey ( ˙▿˙ )/
So, I'm still at it. After a week I'm still not satisfied with quality i have, so I have to improve it some more
I was expanding range of facial expressions, altering sound effect pitch and speed for different intonations, experimenting with stuff etc.
Didn't expected it to take that long, wish I have more free time :')
Same deal as last week, I'll drop announce when Im ready, Sorry for the wait :)

Uh Oh

Hey hey ( ˙▿˙ )/
I underestimated how long it will take to Intro + dialogues (with proper response from heroine and stuff) so I'm still working on it
I experimented with one scene for whole day, only to scrap It in the end D: (I am also overcomplicating placeholders :( )
Deadline served it's purpose to speed me up, but I have to move it, or make broken release :^)

I'm thinking Friday next week should be good, I will do proper announce some time...

I'm planning to finish big things by the end of next week, and left with a week for polishing and testing.
I just can't stop adding stuff, so I really need a deadline for myself :P

This week - some more animations (yes, whenever I think I'm done, something coming up D:) then coding controls for some interactions, and fighting with unity, as always (took most of the time)
Now, as I promised I will list everything that has to be done before 0.1 release, and how much time it suppose to take.
This way you can clearly see what is left, and what was done during the week!

Hey ( ˙▿˙ )/
I had to help my parents in my spare time this week, so this one gonna be short D:
Due to the limited time i had, i was just focusing on small bugs and cleanups i had notes on, like cleaning spritesheets from obsolete sprites, smoothing some rough animations.
I also was in the mood of improving dialogue (any text rendering really) systems, hopefully there will be no random softlocks like it were in Hima.
Next week i will have extra holiday, so go...

Hey ( ˙▿˙ )/
Sorry for the late post again.
This week I was cleaning up (and making missing) animation transitions, so mostly drawing.
That concludes animations for 0.1, I still have to make face expressions tho
This week I aim to finish all drawing/animating/ importing, and maybe tackle dialogues a little if I have time left.

Development progress 05/14/23

Hey ( ˙▿˙ )/
Had a tough week (couple days) but after hardship I get wave of motivation ( ˙▿˙ )
Gameplay systems are mostly finished at this point, aside from some cosmetic problems. Had to learn a lot about shaders in a process, it sure takes a lot of time :D
Did plenty of UX stuff, so things look intuitive and nice to interact with. I would like to avoid big tutorial sheets, so different elements should be at least a little bit self explanatory :)
