Just putting the finishing touches on it now.
Included in September build:
New armor shop scene
Expanded slime surrender scene that plays after Ash joins the party
Pause system rework
Options menu available in most places (including animation viewer)
Basic save and continue game functionality
I'll elaborate on these points tomorrow plus talk about plans for October.

The new build continues to expand on the town and the starting events of the game. Three new areas have been added and a new major character is introduced, the Warlock Master! There's also sounds now in the game and you can choose between a few different character skins starting out. Please keep in mind this is still in early development and the scenes, characters and areas will be improved and expanded upon in the coming months. Now that I'm starting to connect the story lin...

The last thing I'm adding to this month's build is the bottom choice to the scene with Ash. I'm working on the animations now and the build should be good to go in a couple days!

Sorry for the quietness recently. I've been working on a lot of small improvements and fixes but I want to add some new content too. There will be a new build before the end of the month.
The next build will also be the first version to have sound effects and music so a lot of time was spent fiddling with that whole new dimension.
You'll be able to choose your starting skin and a name for the protagonist. The slime form inherits the features of the starter skin you choose.
I started to feel it was long past due to add this. It's not the full feature but at least you will be able to choose from a few options now. I'm thinking of releasing another build in a week that will have a few small improvements like this. I also fixed some of the bugs that were reported for the current build.

Hey everyone! A new build of the game is ready for you to try out! It includes the beginnings of the main town hub of the game with a couple new characters to meet. So far only a few scenes are implemented, but it does include a major post dungeon scene with Ash! Please keep in mind this is still in early development and the scenes will be improved and expanded upon in the coming months (for example, a bottom route with Ash, introductions to the other buddies and the post adv...
2020-07-18 17:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostI want to finish a scene between Ash and the hero before I release the next build. I am working on the extra animations I need for them now and hopefully I'm close to finishing them so I can release this weekend.

Hey guys another quick update.
I decided to go ahead and link up all the current town zones and the quest board for travel to the dungeon. You will also be able to exit and come back to the town with the dungeon event progress retained but with enemies respawning.
I need to do a little more bug testing and make sure that the slime king is repeatable but without the events attached to his defeat.
I would also like to have at least a little bit of the town events i...

Hey guys hope you are all doing well! I have a few things I wanted to talk about regarding the state of the project and the patreon campaign.
I started out the month by continuing to work on the character models and rigging for the 3 buddies. Currently buddy 1 and buddy 3 are finished and buddy 2 is in the process of rigging.
I created animations with Buddy 1 and Buddy 3 having fun with the hero primarily as a way to promote the project on twitter and as a break f...

I uploaded a new video showing a proof of concept of a skin randomizer for the NPCs. I just have to draw more skin options for it to choose from.

Hey everyone I wanted to give a little update on what I'm working on. I've started blocking in the tavern interior where the buddies will gather to have a drink after your missions. Buddy 1 and Buddy 3 are rigged and already have a few animations. Buddy 2 still needs to be rigged.
Thanks for all your suggestions for their names. I'm thinking of running polls or somethin...

Hey guys, small update on the character progress. I wanted to get the 3 buddies finished and rigged for animation and I am very close!
I spent a little more time on Buddy 1 and I'll include one of his animations in the animation viewer soon. Buddy 2 is almost finished being rendered and Buddy 3 is nearly ready for export. All buddies have nude versions as well.
Once I have them ready I'm going to start putting together the tavern scene where they gather and have d...
2020-05-27 16:51:57 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys I decided to release a build with some updated nude skins and animations in the Animation Viewer mode of the game. The rest of the game should be mostly unchanged.
I'll continue to work on the town backgrounds and levels but I might do another small animation update at the end of the month.

No balls touching here.
Putting together a scene for the hero's bedroom and then a little bit of the house. Also a preview of another sex position for them.
By the way that's not going to be the actual dialogue for the game 😉

I'm starting to whip up some sprites and getting a feeling for the city.
Tentatively planning three small zones. One for the tavern and shops, one for the resident houses where the protagonist lives and an upper city zone for the story related scenes.

Thanks for the comments everyone, I updated the animation a little bit!
Who would you rather see bottom?
Hey guys hope you are all doing well and hanging in there.
I've been quietly working away on some character concept art and trying to plan out the scenes that will take place at the start of the game and around the town between missions. I'm going to share some concept art and a couple mock-ups with all patrons this time because that's all I've been working on the past couple weeks.
I have two main locations for events, the protagonist's bedroom/house and the tavern where he hangs...

I'm wrapping up work on the dungeon prototype and will begin working on the town related content.
Over the next 2-3 weeks I'll probably focus on new character concepts and art for the new town locations. It's been a while since I've focused heavily on the art side of development so it should be a nice change of pace.
There shouldn't be any major new systems to work on in this time, mostly scripted scenes for the start o...

Conditional Turn Based Battle
I implemented a conditional turn order system, where character's turn order now takes into consideration their agility and the types of commands that they use may cause them to have a greater or shorter delay towards their next turn. A preview of the upcoming t...

Hello everyone and welcome to all the new patrons! The support this month has been phenomenal and I want to thank every one of you for helping to make this game a reality.
As you guys know I released the first version of the dungeon prototype one month ago and since then I've continued work to improve and expand on this initial experience of the game. Its been a productive month so I'm going to go over everything I've worked on and a little bit about the coming month and beyond. &...

The hero will be joined by companion during his mission to defeat the slime king!
Meet the second party member, a mysterious warlock that uses his daggers to deal fast, critical hits in addition to dark magic skills.
He will be included in the next update of the dungeon prototype available for patrons at the end of the month!

I had to make some changes so the hero can move around a bit better. The dungeons won't have to be straight left to right anymore.
I also have a youtube playlist of development progress videos since March 2019. Check it out if you are interested, though I recommend watching at 2x speed, some of them are unnecessarily long.

Hello everyone, I have good news! I'm ready to release the dungeon prototype that I've been working on for the past month. Please keep in mind this is still in early development and many things will be improved upon in the coming months, including, but not limited to:
This is a special room with a special slime battle that takes a bit more time to program and put together. Sorry there's a lot of visual glitches still.

Sorry for the delay and thank you for your patience. Hopefully I'll feel better soon, I'll have another update then.

I am continuing work on the dungeon prototype but I wanted to do just a little something holiday related (and learn some techniques for character customization) so I made this reindeer costume for the protagonist.

Hey guys hope you are all doing well and prepared for the upcoming holidays 🙂 We had a really great month, thank you all so much for your support!
Let me briefly go over some of the stuff I worked on this past month.
I started out by working on the dungeons a bit trying to get a better idea of how the backgrounds will look and be constructed. Keep in mind this isn't final art but it gives an general idea of how I want them to look, with much more polish in the end. 2019-11-30 00:15:01 +0000 UTC View Post
