Quick update to make sure you all know what's going on. I'm current in the process of moving to a new state for a job opportunity. Best case scenario the new version of Melting Point's prologue will get out on the 9th like I planned. Worst case it'll come out a little later this month after I get settled in my new place.
I'll officially be in my new state this Friday.
2021-01-04 07:00:28 +0000 UTC View PostThank you all so much for supporting Melting Point this 1st year! I'm still amazed how fast we were able to grow and get the game to playable state! Today the rest of the team and I are returning to work on the game now that the holiday season has gone and passed. Here's some notable updates you all should be on the look out for!
I recently got hired after graduating college and have to relocate so for the first half of January I won't be actively developing until I'm completely moved a...
2020-12-28 19:22:43 +0000 UTC View PostGood News Everyone! Progress on Version 0.0.3 is going steadily. We're done reformatting the writing for the Prologue and we've fixed a few of the small bugs that were reported. Over the next week LustFire will be working on more of the animations for dialogue as well as beginning work on the next animations for combat since we're changing the combat system over to 2D from 3D. After all of that's been completed and I feel as if enough improvements have been made on top of what you all have al...

Thank you to everyone who supported us early to get where we are now! Sometime this week Melting Point's first patreon demo should be released! I do need to ask you all though. How would you like the demo to be released? Do you want me to drop the ZIP file in the discord or rather? I could make it available to patrons only via Itch but that would require everyone have an itch account. Or would you rather me just post the zip file on a download site and then send the message out through patron...

Good news everyone! The mini-game is almost considered "feature complete" so you'll be able to play a build of it soon if you're in the Discord! And in terms of overall progress the game is almost ready for a Alpha Demo release that you guys will be able to play early as well so we can collect feedback before the public demo release!

Hey everyone! Here's the height chart for the girls so far. Also Tin's new Dialogue and Hub menu sprite that's currently being rigged up! I can't wait to get you guys so much more expressive emotions out of her!
2020-11-01 21:40:51 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone and anyone viewing this Patreon page! First I want to thank you for taking the time to visit and I hope I can persuade you to become a Patron!
I just wanted to address that although it doesn't look like I update my Patreon consistently a lot of activity actually goes on in the private discord server where current supporters have been playing early beta versions of systems such as combat and the mini-game to help make Melting Point the best experience when it's released to ...
Hey guys sorry I haven't been posting on here as much I have to remember that I need to not just post to the Discord but post on Patreon as well to show everyone that progress is still being made! But for now enjoy some Tin butt.

Hey guys just wanted to show you Titanium's reference this week! We're just getting the new programmer set up with everything for the project so hopefully I can show you more of that within the next 2 weeks. I've also paid for the next set of Tin's models so we may be seeing her animations complete by the end of October!

Hey everyone! This week I want to show off Tin's new model and textures completely finished! I can't wait to move forward with rigging and animations, although that'll have to wait until I get more funding in October!
2020-09-23 16:41:59 +0000 UTC View Post
Good news everyone! Since I was able to find a little bit more funding I decided to go on ahead and get some new and higher quality Tin Models for the games combat! These models will actually feature moving clothes so I do hope you enjoy panties shots while Tin is giving it her all in battle! These models and animations won't be done until October-November though since I'm still waiting need more funds to be able to pay for the animation and everything else needed. I do hope everyone likes th...
2020-09-16 17:49:37 +0000 UTC View PostHey there everyone!
It's been almost a month since I did the last devlog sorry about that. Apparently July was moving month and pretty much the entire team was moving and settling down into new houses so there wasn't anything to really talk about development wise. But because of me waiting so long I do have a lot to talk about!
We brought on a new composer Edwin Dizer! He has an amazing record and has gone to some prestigious school for music! He'll be making the soundtrack for th...

I've decided to begin mimicking post I do on twitter on my patreon as well just in case there's anyone who finds my project and follows updates on patreon alone and don't use twitter. Once the demo is completed I'll also be using Itchio and Game Jolt so be looking forward to that as well.
All of these posts will be public since they were original posted publicly on twitter.
Tin has come quite a long way from when I first started a couple of months ago. Wispy was who I had original...
2020-08-08 16:06:26 +0000 UTC View PostSorry for the late delay again this week.
Good news everyone, for the most part the programming for the game's combat system is complete! Just a couple of odds and ends to attend to but overall it's done! This week Javier also showed me a WIP of the Beach CG Background he's been working on! After that's completed he'll be moving on to more of the artwork required for the game. Please be patient with him he's working solo and has an extreme task ahead of him while also still workin...

Hey everyone! The multitude of artist working on the project have been drafting up the main villain for the first arc of melting point. This is The Commander who'll be making his appearance in chapter 2 of the game! Hopefully we manage to get back on track after the personal issues various members of the team has been going through. Stay tuned!
2020-08-05 16:21:01 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone sorry for the delay on this weeks Devlog, got a bit preoccupied friday so I didn't have the chance to write it up.
This week in terms of development on my end, I was getting together all of the functionalities of the games Overworld Hub Menu together. Realized that I'll need more room to talk about the girls in their profiles so I also gave that a flip side.
In terms of assets things are up and down, our GUI Artist has been going through some hardships recently, and...

The combat system is almost complete all that's left is the Defend command, evasion, counter and the stat blocks. Once th...
