Fallen Doll Ver 1.30 Released!

I'm back! Still recovering from jet lag. There are a whole lot of things I need to report here, but let's start with the most important ones.

Please visit our new release page to download the latest update of Fallen Doll. If you are an active patron of onlooker tier or above, or pledged as or above Capitalist tier before, you will be automatically granted access. Note that you will need to generate a...

Erika's Combat Suit

Erika's default costume in FD's sequel. Will be added to Fallen Doll in update 1.31 so you get to see Erika in her serious mode.

April Monthly Poll

LINK TO THE POLL 

The first playable demo of FD's sequel will roll out after one mini boss and six skirmish enemy types are decided. More sex partners will be added later.

Xenological Study Report: Hounds of Tindalos

Though self-aware and capable of reproduction, the Hounds of Tindalos do not fall into any biological category. By definition they are materialized manifestation of an enigmatic space wrapping phenomenon naturally generated by a certain non-Euclidean geometry pattern, rather than living organisms. Rumor has it that they may appear from wherever angles or corners may be found, especially those sharper than 120 degrees, but no reliable sighting report supporting this theory has been received ye...

Clarification

Paralogue 0.1 will still be released in April and not hindered by the delay in voice acting. We'll use temporary voice assets in that.

The actual recording only takes a few days. However the voice actress is all booked up so we have to wait for her schedule to open up.

The base game of Fallen Doll, update 1.30 shall also be released late March or early April, prior to the completion of  Paralogue 0.1. So yeah, double the fun.

Here are a couple of frequently a...

Alet's Voice Finalized

Teenager - Normal won both the public and monthly poll. We softened her tone a bit to make the voice more feminine instead of being a tiny bit unisex.

It should take approximately 40 days to get all voice acting work completed. Temporary audio assets will be used in Paralogue ver. 0.1.

WIP: Advanced Muscle Deformation System

An improved muscle volume correction system has been implemented on Alet.

WIP: Erika's Combat Suit

"Electronic recon-infiltration combat agent reporting for duty. Not exactly the type of duty I expected, but orders are orders."

I...I don't get it

Lesbian and futanari sex is the least popular one when we asked you to rate for sex themes, but the most anticipated enemies are human females and futa in the exact same poll?

?(?Q?)?

I'm going to sleep, will be back to answer your messages (there's a lot) tomorrow.

March Monthly Poll

LINK TO THE POLL 

This poll is rather important as it decides Alet's combat suit and the first handful of enemies (aka sex partners) you will encounter in the sequel.

Feb poll has now been closed.

Designs for Alet's Aphrodite Armor

"Hey Erika! You call this tiny piece of cloth armor? It doesn't even cover my rear!"

“Well, now you know it was indeed made by the lowest bidder.”

Which one to pick will be decided by March's monthly poll. The poll starts tomorrow.

Automated Upgrading System

Patreon's message system tends to become clumsy when mass sending download links. I have received a fair sum of reports lately about getting a lot of duplicated mails all at once, while in some other cases supporters did not receive the message they were supposed to have at all. I'd rather allocate the time spent on solving these matters to debugging, so here's the plan.

We'll automate the distribution of future updates by publicly posting the download links on our Patreon page, but it ...

Fallen Doll Beta 1.29

Finally! Although may not be the update many of you are expecting. Fickle in affection huh?

As I elaborated in the Q&A, the first playable Paralogue demo shall be released at the end of March or early April, and you will receive it if you have pledged as onlooker tier or above this year. Don't miss out on voting for Alet's voice here! (The poll will be closed on ...

Uploading...

It should take approximately three hours to upload.

Now you can make Erika wear heels during sex when her feet do not touch the floor. Her ankle motion will be altered depending on the weight of the heels she's wearing. It's still in beta so not all poses are supported though.

Ray Tracing Test and 1.29 Progress

In the past weekend we conducted a series of tests on RTX ray tracing. Tho the real-time lighting is improved enormously, the severe frame rate drop (30%-50%) can't be ignored, and the noise reduction still leaves a lot to be desired.

However in time, there's a chance we integrate ray tracing in our project for more realistic skin rendering.

Update 1.29 has been completed. Our new animators did a pretty magnificent job! We'll finish the debugging today and hopefully the...

Dynamic Sweat

With most of the technical goals achieved this month, the work on Alet has now been transferred to our animators. I'll stay around to answer your messages and comments in the upcoming week and keep you posted on the development progress.

Finally, some rest.

Nailed It

Now I'm gonna implement this system to vulva and the anus then we are good to go.

Q&A on Current Situation of Development

Q: Why haven't you finished the Alet demo already?

A: I'm sorry. The delay was primarily caused by a bane we failed to overcome so far: penis clipping with vagina and anus. We are implementing a new system to eliminate the mesh penetration between the genitals and it took way longer than expected. Our original plan was to release a demo without the aforementioned system in January, but we really wish you to see the improvements instead of simply switching Erika to Alet ...

Alet's Armory: Akontia Submachine Gun

I'll respond to your messages and questions after I wake up, and give you a brief on what we have been doing and why feb's update is being delayed. I hope I can do it now but can't think straight in current state.

Rest assured that January and February supporters will receive the game builds once finished, and a little bit extra.

Landing Imminent

Unspeakable horror you say? Meh. You really shouldn’t have slept in literature class.

The Lily And The Bee, Part II

The lily stands for beauty,
Use, purity, and trust,
It does a four-fold duty,
As all good mortals must.
Its whiteness is to teach us,
Its faith to set us free,
Its beauty is to cheer us,
And its wealth is for the bee.

“Consider the lilies!”
But, it occurs to me,
Does any one consider
The lily and the bee?  

- Henry Lawson

The Lily And The Bee

When the morning sun was low,
And the sun shone through a lily. 

Happy Valentine's Day!

A short experimental rendering made 6 years ago after beating Catherine. The model used in the animation was eventually converted to Erika in Fallen Doll.

One Last Piece of the Puzzle

Long story short, we recruited a part-time 2D artist from Riot, you probably will recognize his work if you have played League of Legends. Now our team is fully equipped to initiate the next project.

A Small Breakthrough

Real-time hair rendering has always been a big trouble when making game characters. Some of you may have already noticed the strange dithered translucent effect around the edge of Erika's hair strands, which makes her hair blurry when observed from certain angles. Thanks to the help from a technical artist of Naughty Dog, this week we managed to complete a new hair shader for Alet, which is capable to overcome this flaw while rendering better anisotropic specularity highlights with no perform...

February Monthly Poll

LINK TO THE POLL 

This is the last round of voting that affects the genre and theme of Fallen Doll's sequel. Later this month, we fire up the pre-production.

Alet's Voice, Final Round of Voting

Sorry!（＞д＜）Forgot to turn on "one response per person" in the last poll, please cast your vote one more time. 

Voice samples are listed below. Make sure you listen to them first! Due to time constraint, we may not be able to implement the winner in Paralogue 0.1, but we will get the voice recorded asap.

If you have other ideas, leave a link of the voice that fits Alet best in the comments.

Over Leggy?

While animating we found that Alet's legs may be too long comparing to her torso and kind of damaging to her petite vibe. We are considering whether to shorten them a bit for better proportion. Anyways aesthetics is a highly subjective topic, so we'll let you decide.

The revision plan is attached to this post.

Paralogue 0.1 Progress

Yet another busy week. In the past week we recruited an environment artist, who possesses rich experience in concept design and has contributed to various Playstation 4 only titles. We also established a new development data host server in France to facilitate the joint effort of developers around the globe. The pre-production phase of the sequel shall launch next month after I finish calculating the poll results, and it will be of much larger scale than Fallen Doll. Once the wheels begin to ...

3k Supporters!

Three years ago, two starry-eyed programmers residing on opposite sides of the planet decided to join force and take some time out to launch a hobby project out of pure boredom.

Since it was an act of self-entertainment, marketing expectations, opportunity costs and sales channels were not taken into consideration one bit. Guess what, they decided to make a porn game, because why not.

They happily whipped up a simple and crude demo then threw it on tumblr (ri...
