2023-05-02 06:32:54 +0000 UTC View PostProject Plan May
Another month packed with work! Let's have a look at what will be tackled in the upcoming weeks. For one, some things I have been working on since the start of Chapter 2-B can finally be wrapped up, and on the other hand, other new story lines I have been meaning to start can finally get started! Below is the usual summary picture of the plan and then we dive into the week-by-week breakdown!
Special Study H-CGs I-III (Shaded)
Shaded version of the Special Study H-CGs just came in!

We haven't done these in a while. Time for me to get some more data!

Special Study I-III H-CGs (Sketch)
I was hoping that clever organization of the H-CGs would keep the complexity of these low, but even with all of it happening just on a chair, the variations are fairly complex. I don't expect these to finish by the release.

Public release of 0.29 and also the usual bug fixes. In addition a small balancing addition where not resucing abductees gives twice as much corruption. To make it less corruption effective to abandon them and then using Purification.
There's also a bigger change for the Festival that allows you to partially dodge Eyes ...
2023-04-14 15:57:24 +0000 UTC View PostSecondary Artist Applications Poll
See: https://www.patreon.com/posts/secondary-artist-81315302 for further information.
Reminder that the Emubi option means that instead of hiring a secondary artist who can perform the full workflow of creating artwork, Emubi will himself hire an assisstant he was worked with in the past to outsource parts of his workflow. This means more consistency in the art but since it's only a part that...
2023-04-10 16:28:50 +0000 UTC View PostSecondary Artist Applications
I have processed a bunch of artist applications for the secondary artist position. Sadly I was overwhelmed with lots of applicants that all said they could easy peasy emulate Emubi's art style but had nothing to back it up and when they provided me samples, it was not at all even remotely close.
From those who had strong portfolios, I performed a test commission to redraw Charlotte in Emubi's style and also matching the level of detail of the general character artwork. Sadly - again - a...
2023-04-10 16:22:22 +0000 UTC View PostTrailer NSFW
And here's the "NSFW" trailer version, which is pretty much the same as the in-progress version I have been posting during trailer production. And it's also pretty much just yesterday's SFW version but with some non-explicit CGs - which are apparantly still too much for Patreon which is why I have to still lock the post to Patrons only :'D

Trailer SFW
And here we have the SFW version of the finished trailer. In the SFW version, the CGs have been replaced with SFW cutscenes.
Tomorrow the trailer producer will render the NSFW version.
EDIT: Also please press the like button in the trailer, maybe youtube does some free advertising for us.

I originally didn't plan on adding different options for this one. But since it's basically a free feature and I'm done with working today anyways, feel free to propose additional options to fill in the ???. If there are useful proposals by tomorrow when I restart working I will consider adding them. Otherwise I will make some up.
'Shrimp' is already fixed to be an option. :D

And here are Absurdities manuscripts for the next set of Roland scenes. I haven't yet properly focused on reviewing IV and mostly given feedback to III.

2023-04-04 08:27:20 +0000 UTC View PostProject Plan April
And the cycle begins anew! Here's what I'm planning to do this month. For the last couple of months, we had some imbalance caused by the lack of a mapper that forced me to first do more corruption content than I had originally planned and push the dungeon related work back. With the two updates in Feb and March we have reached a balance again.
In addition to this, there aren't that crazy many bugs so I can leave most of them to Trihan, so instead of technical week, I can directly dive i...

Subscription Billing
A bit more than half a year ago Patreon introduced an alternate schedule for billing where instead of at the end of the month, you get billed 1 month after joining.
The major advantage for patrons is that this avoids double billing when joining at the end of the month. The catch: Once a creator switches to it, he can't switch back. So, if there were any unforseen problems (like...

Trailer NSFW (Version 2, Watermarked, Low Res)
Second iteration of the trailer.
I believe the overall structure is a lot better now with a clear segment structure for Roya - Mental World - Earth and the progression of the appearance corruption.
For the beginning, I was unsure with the 3D and its potential to be misleading so we have different intro here. The NSFW also got adjusted to a level where the level of expliciteness is a bit too much for Patreon but if I post it as public I should be able to upload it to Youtube ...

Managed to hit one last milestone before the month is over! Thanks everyone!
