[Babe Runner] Day after release and Future Plans.

For those who cannot play this, the meaning of it basically is "THANK YOU". ^^

"Finally".

"Finally":  
That's all I'd like to say, and that's how I went like after I was done packing Babe Runner Demo.

I wanted to summarize what working on Babe Runner felt like with "A dream often comes true at the price of many sleepless nights":
something I've "signed" Babe Runner with, you'll find it as soon as you click on "start".  
That's because a "I've worked a lot,<...

Babe/Blade Runner?

What can I say:
I'm not exactly sure how I managed to "guess" some aspects of a movie that was yet to be even announced, when I've started working on Babe Runner.
But as far as I can tell from the Trailer, yes...There are some similiarities with the story I had in mind (and partially "hinted" in the Demo)...And I must confess, that's rather "disturbing", to some extent.

I knew I got the degenerative power, but premonition too? Really? O_o

[Babe Runner] "A girl gotta eat" (work logic explained).

We all know we live in a world where Boobs matters.
But still, Nika's gonna need to take on patrolling shifts to earn cash.

There are three Shift options in Babe Runner:

"Hot Pursuit"
"Grand Theft"
"Bodyguard"

You'll be offered a random selection of shifts and difficulty levels to choose from.

  • Choosing a difficulty higher than current skill level will result in better rewards but with a lower chance of suc...

[Babe Runner] Firing Range explained.

Babe Runner obviously is a game featuring boobs.

But it's a 2048 Lust Angeles you'll be living in, so you can't really expect Nika to boob her way out of any situation.

That's when sharpening both your shooting/combat skills might come in handy (and yes, we're gonna cover "combat skills" in further updates).

The thing is, we cannot really extensively talk Shooting skills without mentioning combat ski...

[Babe Runner] Babe runn...ing.

While running after crooks with a D cup slapping you in the face it's no walk in the park -it's a run, indeed...ha! run/walk...get it? No?...Ok forget about it-
clearing out our TODO list before release is not any easier.

Well, we're pretty much in the testing stage and releasing should be a matter of days, now.
But like I said, we ran into loads of issues which took some time to (successfully) fix...Most meaningful one being the save/load mode: it was breaking the game lik...

[Babe Runner] Happy BD to me!

...And actually it's tomorrow (11th)...But it's not as if I ever gave a **** about birthdays in general, so we can skip that part all the way to a little BR update. ^^
We've been testing and implementing core logic and we're done with it, for the most part.
We've also made sure that arguments are correctly parsed by converting integers to absolutes inside of the transforms themselves.
No, seriously: is that of any interest to anyone whatsoever? Anyone? Yeah, just as I've thought.

Just to let you know...

...I'm keeping my word about the "not charging you a dime until demo release" thing.

Just thought about making a post since some of you prolly hasn't noticed and quit, even if "staying" wasn't costing them a thing.

Or maybe they were going to quit anyway...Go figure. ^^
At any rate, I'd like to thank those who left for the support given and leave this as a reminder for those who stayed:
Thank you both for supporting this, I'm not charg...

It Came From Lust Angeles.

Many of you wouldn't prolly get the pun behind this post title...
And that's great, because it more likely means you're not as old as me (you lucky bastards!).
Matter of fact the above picture compares a Firing Range session from Babe Runner with the shooting minigame from Cinemaware's "it came from the desert", published in 1989 on the Commodore Amiga 500.
Yes, we're talking about a game and a computer both from 28 years ago;

mid-march update...

Just an update to let those who care that I'm still alive and busy.
Wrapping up Babe Runner logic and gameplay mechanics proved to be "challenging" to say the least...To the point I cannot really stand calling them "minigames" anymore, considering the huge amount of coding they've brought to us, so far.
Main issue was they're not meant as "stand-alone" minigames but they're interdependent in ways that would most surely give headaches to us both in case I'd try to go into details...So I ...

Babe Runner's "Expressions Helper"

Just to let you having a little peek of a dev tool feature being implemented just yet in Babe Runner: "Expression Helper"! (but feel free to call it anything you want, lol) 

Some may argue that this feature might as well result useless to any project featuring less then 10 different facial expressions (like any average VN out there), and they're right: It would. But...

To Bee or not to Bee? (Lola's Amletic Questions)

That's what Lola is there for: adding that comedy touch to an otherwise grim and dark environment.
Well, that's not the only reason why she's there, but I guess publicly discussing that wouldn't be *that* safe.
So, yeah...Just keep on torturing yourself trying to find out what the answer is.
In the meantime we're gonna keep on torturing ourselves with a few more adjustments as release date for the Demo is approaching:

28.02.2017, guys.

Make sure you're around on that day....

NIka's Animations for turn-based Battle Engine

...I wasn't supposed to spoil this to the world, but Flu kicked in just two days ago and fever made me posting this.

Yeah, I'd say it's not even TW speaking.
It's Flu speaking. Or Typing.

At any rate, blame it on Flu. ^^

Off to bed, Over and Out.

Like "Temporarily" out.

Humans, eat t-t-t-h-i-i-i-i-i-i-s-s-s-s! lol

A gif exported from an animation I've made in Spine.
It's a dummy I've created for Babe Runner's Battle Engine, so please don't pay attention to how loose it is.
No shadows, no textures, no nothing: it's just a little more of a rough sketch that I've decided to animate to check how having this in the game would feel like.

A test...But still...Evolving...Muha-haha! (evil laugh)

You'll find my mental layout for damage logic in the attachment.

Patreon Polls!!!

Really: I recall requesting this a long time ago. They got back at me with kind of those corporate-like, (fakely) overexcited replies about how "brilliant" my suggestion was and how "sorry" they were for not being able to fulfill my request.
Like I've said, I thought it was just the usual corporate version of "f**k you" with a little "we don't give a sh**" on top.
Luckily enough, I've been proved wrong as they actually provided us with such feature! (bragging-bragging! ^^)

I know this is not a major update about the game, but there are loads of "hidden news" behind it.
Most important being, the team's finally back at working on BR at full speed.
Xela is finally done with his relocation quest (which is NOT gonna be included in game quests despite being pretty epic itself, lol) and he has refactored a tremendous amount of code in the last 24 hrs ("tremendous" for any human being, at least...But he's no human, so it doesn't count, l...

So: I've installed this software just yesterday night and today my daughter Nika can blink her eyes and follow a mouse pointer! Her daddy is so proud ^^

"The Big Picture"...

...No, the post title has nothing to do with the size of the picture (yet it's one big picture itself, lol) but with upgrading, improving, preparing for what's gonna happen after Babe Runner.

Many of you may object "Babe Runner is not even out yet and you're thinking about what's next already, duuude"?  And they would be right, as Babe Runner is not out...Yet at some point it will be, tho. But they'd be totally wrong about the "thinking about what's next" part, as one of my favorite state...

Patreon changes ("charge upfront").

 I'd never wanted this day to come, as much as I badly wanted it.

"Which kind of day" you might ask? Well, the kind of day when you realize the interest towards your creations has grown to the point that more and more people pledges to you on Patreon, takes a peek at your "exclusive" content (for patrons only), downloads it...Only to cancel their pledge after they're done.

This was the "per creation" way, the kind of charging option that I've chosen when I started....

Another Babe Runner Character I'm sketching. He's gonna play the Lab Tech at the Police Station.

And he looks rather familiar, isn't it? ^^

Anyway, I'd like to thank my buddies Xela and Able Kirby for the "backstage" work they're doing. 

I'm kind of a "frontman" to this project and most of the times my art it's all that you see. But trust me when I say, there's people who's helping me BIG TIME to make Babe Runner a litt...

I might consider dying as soon as I release this s**t, I promise (given Flu won't kill me earlier ^^).

However, hot tea+lemon+honey is the way to go for now. 

Oh, and + keep new characters for the game coming.

Like I said, work on BR keeps on rolling and got really intense.

So meet my new OC HANA!

For those who don't know, "OC" stands for "Original Character"...While "HANA" stands for...Well, "Hana". lol

She's gonna play the shopkeeper in Babe Runner and everything about her it's meant as a little easter egg/tribute to a couple of "real life" things I do really love.

Which things? Your guess, buddies. ;)

[Babe Runner] let's hop for a little ride on the spincter. ^^

You might be wondering why Nika is sitting in a car wearing a Bra. 

The reason is I woke her up in the middle of the night because I needed her for a little animation test...It took me a few hoursand some grief to draw and wrap up all of this, so I hope you'll enjoy it.Are you ready to hop on the Spincter for a ride, anyway? ^^

Babe Runner's gonna rock. For 467 good reasons. ^^

I'm just done with drawing/retouching Nika's expressions.

This took me a while due to the amount of work that I've put into it. 18 hours straight just yesterday...But I've started the whole thing some weeks ago.

 Since I'm not on drugs (not yet, lol) then I must be some sort of machine. Anyways.

Just for the sake of exploring every possible variation/combo, I've asked my buddy Xela to code something to mix them up following a logical pattern (eyebrows/n...
