...And it's very good news, i guess!
As I've already mentioned/promised in my previous update, I've been focusing on ending's storyboard and managed to wrap 3/4 panels already.
It means there's only 1 panel and 1 CG left before (finally!) releasing Chapter 2.
I know you might be wondering "were these panels really needed" and I'll come down very honestly about this:
NO, th...
And here we are with another batch of extremely good news:
I'm done with Ciri vs. Harpy animations for Chapter 2 and I've moved on to MC battle sprites (Picarto live stream recording HERE).
It's gonna consist of idle/morphing/attack/parry sprites and...Yes, I said "morphing":
our seemingly harmless MC can ...

Ciri Trainer - Chapter One:
$1: Base Game
Triss arrival at Kaer Morhen will not only serve the purpose of having another hottie roaming around the Castle (which never is a bad idea, tho).
And neither it will help with Ciri's training only. Or at least, not only the "canonic" magic training one would expect to receive from a witch.
When it comes to certain "arts", we all know Triss has b...
Ladies and Gentlemen, meet your Ciri Trainer alter ego!
Going by the name of (???), it will be your mysterious (changeling) self.
It's already implemented in the game, along new Ciri (2.0).
I had a lot of fun drawing it, but the funniest part consisted in succeeding to show expressions on a completely hidden face (while winning Dark's...

apparently we got some mysterious (yet anonymous) fan at CDPR already! #cirileaks (lol)
That said, let's debrief last week, a rather intense one.
Patrons have been voting in the Ciri Poll and here's the results:
Ciri 1.0 = 17%
Ciri 2.0 = 83%
I'd love to say it was a close challenge but it wasn't:
First of all, i'd like to thank all of those who sent (positive) feedbacks on Ciri Trainer: my work can use some love every now and then. ^^
Secondly, thanks to all of those who joined me on Picarto.Tv while I was streaming the "making of" the above Chibi animation: I can use some company too, so if you haven't already, make sure you hit the "follow" butto...
Dudes and dudettes! ^^
Tomorrow's the day.
We've been working hard for two months straight and we finally have a working tech-demo on our hands.
Of course there's a lot more content to add and your feedback will help us with balancing and all...But we're so happy with game's overall looks and feel and we're so excited to share it with you!
DarkTl is optimizing build as we speak ("as you...
Hello everyone, another intense week it's gone! ^^
Me and DarkTl, we've been working hard on implementing the remaining modules into the game (alchemy crafting table, melee training and a few more) and proofreading 95% of tech demo script (it's a bit more than 10k words).
But that's not everything I...
it's happening:
Ciri Trainer (tech demo) will be with you by the end of the month!
Last week proved to be an extremely productive one:
I've cleared my whole tasks list (alchemy items, "Playwitch" issue #1 and a ton of minor-not-minor tasks) with the only exception of proofreading, which I'll sort out next week, starting from tomorrow.
As of now, I think what we have it's a pretty solid mix of script, logic, mechanics and gameplay...
1) a few more chibi monsters;
2) monsters ingredients;
3) second kinky CG:
4) first issue of "Playwitch" (gonna be fun this one);
5) a few books icons;
6) pause screen;
7) candle/hourglass animations;
8) testing;
I've started by listing what's missing to release a proper demo because I'm a little under the weather and i wanted to make it real quick (37.7 actually, and sparkling aspirin it's what I'm sipping in that glass while playing Cir...

Pay day is right around the corner, and we wanted to give you up to date information before payments start processing on Sept 1st.
You may be aware that last month there were some issues with declined payments, and confusion caused by patrons seeing a new descriptor on their bank account. We’ve been working hard to limit the amount of disturbance you might experience this month, and for a full recap of what we’ve been up t... 2018-08-31 05:50:41 +0000 UTC View Post
Hi everyone.
Here with my usual weekly update on "Ciri Trainer" development.
Good and bad news, this time...And ironically, it's two sides of the same coin:
You would excuse me for repeating myself week after week, but I'm glad with the overall progress, so f...

Ladies and Gwentlemen!
(let's face it: the only reason for a witcher parody was that I could finally call you that, lol)
Another week of hard -and hot, it's really hot in here- work it's gone and once again I'm super happy with the progress we made.
To be perfectly honest, there was a slight change of plans:
I've been promising a "fully working Vesemir doll" but in the end I've switched to another "fully working" doll:
young Ciri<...
And another Ciri Trainer deadline was brilliantly met, dear Patrons/Followers:
Vesemir's Room and Ciri doll are 100% ready and implemented with working logic (the above screenshot it's in-game "footage").
Not bad for the very first 10 days of work, isn't it? ^^
All of the animations are in place and working already, bu...
Hello dear ("wannabe"? lol) Patrons!
Turned out many of you experienced some issue with their pledges and apparently it's on Patreon, so this is their official reply:
Hi, as you know we’re noticing an unexpectedly high number of payment declines. We’re sorry for the frustration this has caused and we’re doing all we can to help creators get paid by working with our payment partners and continuing to retry payments. Some... 2018-08-02 17:25:18 +0000 UTC View Post
And here we are debriefing the very first week of Ciri Trainer's development.
A lot of brainstorming happened and we've kind of shared/dropped/approved a dozen (hundred) ideas.
The above picture it's about the most important location in the game: Vesemir's room (your room).
It displays the main basic options at your disposal, but of course it's "work in progress" and there's a lot more to show in the days to come.

Listen up, Ladies and Gentlemen!
"Next Project" poll it's over and we have a winner:
The Witcher 3!
Now this was the absolute winner for the "if it was a parody" category, but to be perfectly honest, there were close runner-ups in the poll:
Sci-Fi and Marvel also got an huge share of votes.
So here's the plan:
we're gonna wrap up a t...
...Who's this half girl?
Well, technically...Who's this 1/4 girl?
(hint: she's not dying her hair white and she's not a granny)
More news coming reeeeeal soon.
Stay tuned. ^^
EDIT: Poll is closed! ^^
And here's the moment we've all been waiting for, Ladies & Gentlemen:
NEXT PROJECT POLL!
With GiBC being finally archived, me and DarkTl have wrapped this 4 questions Survey

The day has come, end of the line:
"Girls in The Big City" finally is a Completed Game.
It's been a long journey, this one...Started on 30/05/2017...
...It was never "easy" and we all went through real life issues of different "magnitude" in the process.
In Christmas, Xela suffered a tragedy in his family and got warped into the aftermath that followed...I've been diagnosed with radicul...
It's real: "Girls in The Big City" it's now a complete game!
Last week me and DarkTl we've been working hard on the last few details remaining, including (but not limited to):
Dear People of Planet Patreon: I cum in peace.
(still having an hard time in finding more creative openers, but still)
With last poll finally archived, it's time to get to work.
Not as if I've been slacking off the whole time while waiting for you to vote, tho:
After announcing GIBC was approaching its last chapter, my email/PM got literally flooded with messages asking to keep it alive.
Now I'm an heartless bastard who wouldn't normally care, but "Vox Populi Vox Dei", as my ancestors used to say.
Also, a girl claiming that she has achieved 3rd place in THIS POLL sent me a message saying she would've ...

Just a quick post to publicly thank DarkTl for the birthday gift:
Thanks from the heart, buddy! ^^
As for the birthday itself, well...Just another day at the office, it wasn't a proper "day off", exactly.
We've just implemented the outfit I've been streaming yesterday (check Picarto recordings) and brainstormed a lo...
So much to do, so much to draw.
Only have time to share this Time-Lapse Video and Dark's latest update to let you know what have we been working on last week and what to expect to see in GIBC next.
Have a nice one!

Hello guys.
As for this week public update, here's another Time-Lapse video from one of my streamings on Picarto.tv.
Work on GiBC is running smoothly and last week we've been adding Harley Quinn character (from the above video) to the turn-based tactical Battle Engine.
As for Next Week schedule, we're gonn...
