Minor update to bring this all together

https://mega.nz/file/PkdhHCbL#iZ-3PAtyg749vfdY3Pcmgdkmase3BaB3MhWQVjI0KJk

Ok, so I finished up a bit of story after you choose either Mia/Molly that gets you to a save point that can bring you back to The Mouse Trap.  This allows players to actually fight the optional Lyra boss fight as it's intended, allows for another optional Lyra fight if you choose Mia, but haven't killed everyone, and allows you ...

Testing out a "Transformation" skill for Mia

Check this out!  I found out how to transform a character in the middle of battle without the requirement of a turn needing to be finish, or a state being added!  This opens up a ton of unique possibilities for both player characters, and enemy characters!  It will allow Mia, for example, to take various different forms with different traits/skills!  Not 100% exactly how I want to use this beyond Mia herself, but hey, I'm open to suggestions.  Do you have a shape-shif...

Lyra battle test ver2

https://mega.nz/file/KoN2xbYY#C5e7QYtTUWdv2CgFPQudyX5nkoQYNaN2Z1uIHazT7aA

Thanks to those who tested and have helped me fine-tune this battle so far!  Here's an updated version of the test.  It includes the story beforehand, a game over animation, and a short game over story now as well.  Just choose new game and go at it!  Everything should be all set!

Play-testers for the newest battle wanted!

I was going to wait until I had the story playable with the game over animation and everything completed before I put out any sort of test but, honestly, after running through this for about 4 hours, I realize that I need fresh minds to play and see if they can find ways to break it.  I'm most concerned with Mia's "Teleport" spell that she will only learn after a certain event happens.  It's effect takes until the end of the turn to activate, which I figured going in.  If anyon...

This is an attack animation

Usually something this detailed would be a loss animation, or part of one, but in this case, it's a "Swallow" attack animation!  The idea is to make the animation the same size as the screen, so it looks like the environment around you actually did swallow you and send you to the next part of the battle, the stomach!  I have a feeling that due to the limits of RPG maker it might not transition "perfectly," but it should still look really good!  I also finished the digestion and...

A new type of battle!

I was debating what to do when you have two front-line characters and came up with this system!  Any time one gets nommed, so will the other, and it will lead to an internal style battle!  You will take more damage the further your eaten, but be able to reverse the process as well (although I need to fine tune that...) I know it's been a while since I posted; I hope this was cool enough for the wait!  Once I 100% complete this battle, I'll upload a demo to patreon only.  I...

IT'S ALIIIIIVEE

So one of the most ambitious enemies I've ever created for sure!  She'll have different looks for her attacks and spell casting, as well as a few other animations during battle.  Lyra is supposed to teach you your purpose and help you grow as a hero...unless you've been bad and saved Mia while also killing every other girl!  Then, welcome to this battle!  Remember:  YOUR CHOICES MATTER!

Another stupid setback, but back at 'em

My Violet set got corrupted in the most random way and I'm super annoyed.  For some reason the layers randomly deleted most of their content and so I need to remake her entirely.  I'm gunna do largely the same thing when I remake it, but this time bigger so I can add more details.  I just need to be sure RPG Maker can handle what I'm about to try.

In other news, while I rage over Violet, I decided to make a mega boss set, since the "Save Mia" choice pretty much won at th...

HAPPY VORE DAY!

Ok, totally getting back to my normal thing now lol.  Hope you all have a great ate/ate!

Making something for vore day!

Decided to branch out and try something a little new.  I'm definitely getting better at drawing in general, which I wasn't sure would directly translate from sprite creating.  I was originally going to make this a short animation, but I started it too late so now it'll be a 3 part image set.  Should be done in time for 8/8...

One more stance and Violet's new set is done

This is one of the last bits of major work I'll need to finish up before I call off the vote and begin writing the story and setting up for an actual release for Patreon!  There's a few odds and ends as far as things I want to draw for the game to make, plus some loss animations depending on which path I release first (again, the version of the story I make first is based off of the vote on Discord, so vote if you haven't!)  I have no idea when the next test demo will be out for you...

Molly Vs. Violet battle beginning to take form

The Molly Vs Violet battle will play out somewhat like the Mos Brynja battle.  It'll work a bit differently though, since at the moment, I only intend to have projectiles coming from a single direction instead of all 4.  With me getting to this point with the art and plot, I'm slowly creeping towards a new payable update.  When?  I have learned not to give dates with a schedule as busy as mine!  However, as long as I don't completely screw up the programming, perhaps ...

My newest animation is complete!

I'll probably keep future animations a better secret going forward, with me only posting them after I let you guys test the newest demos of the actual game.  Anywho, hope you like it!  My next animation will likely be in my older style, but we'll see!

Newest animation sheet featuring Kira, Mia, and Violet is finished

88 unique images, with certain images having 13 layers-!  Granted, I've been bouncing all over the place trying to get a million things done for this domain, but this took me I'll estimate 20-25 or so hours of work to complete.  I plan on putting it all together tomorrow as a full-fledged animation, and it will also be the last animation I post publicly.  At this point, I'm comfortable with keeping everything else hidden until I complete the entirety of Chapter 1, which is when...

The small details...

So I'd bet most people overlook all the small details I need to add to make this a complete game.  Tonight was "face night," and I still have 3 characters to make these for.  I also still have some small walking sprites to make, and endless story to write.  I still have special moves to code and animate, chats to decide if a girl will be your friend or not, tiny map parts to draw...I could go on!  Just know that even if I'm silent for a little bit, I'm most likely working ...

The winning monster girl is finished!

So in case you missed it on Discord, I finished the monster girl everyone voted on!  She doesn't have a name yet, but she is exclusive to the "Save Mia" path...spoiler or something...anywho, I'd like the latest vote to end soon, but the current vote is tied!  If you haven't voted yet, go vote so I can write a story path already!

Choices choices! A small bit of spoilers!

In case you were not aware, the previous vote on what my next monster girl was going to be has come to a close!  It will be a naga!  There is also a new vote on my discord about which version of the upcoming story I write first based on your very first choice: Do you save Mia, or do you save Molly as the two are captured by the strange pair of tails that we left the story off at?  The choice will effect the entire Domain, possibly the entire chapter's ending, and even possibly ...

Decided to work on some maps lately

I needed a change of pace from all the drawing, so I got back to the game making for a bit here.  Here's a few peaks at some upcoming areas!  This will be before the main forest dungeons, and besides that, I don't want to spoil much.  Expect a bit of story/character building, so new character introductions, and of course, encounters of the vore variety!  Not sure if I'm going to go straight for the game making for a while and try to get a basic update out, or if I'm going ...

Pretty sure this is everything I need to begin the internal portion

Alright, I can start putting the internal set together tomorrow, wooo!  The "stomach" layer is going to need some reworking though.  I designed it before I designed the sprites like I always do, not really thinking about how complex having two characters in a belly would be.  It's a pretty easy fix, so it shouldn't delay me long.  In fact, I am hopeful that I can post the finished animation Wednesday!  I know I basically miss every deadline though lmao, so hey, we'll ...

Internal set 50% complete

Maybe a little less <.< Still, all I really need is 12 more poses for Mia, and 7 more for Violet, and then the rest should just be putting the pieces together, adding some liquids.  I mean, as I think about it, it'll most likely be a little bit more complex than that.  If I'm being perfectly honest, this is such a different approach for me, that I'm kind of just as much in the dark about what I draw next as you all are!  In fact, the upper right test image I put together ...

53 images and counting!

Well I knew this would be better than the Mia/Molly same size animation, because I learned so much making that one that I found a ton of ways to get better!  The Mia external was 38 images, and this one is well, read the title, duh!  This will likely be at least a minute long at this rate.  I haven't even begun work on the internals yet, but I'd like to show Violet struggling inside alone at first, with Mia getting pushed in on top of her later on.  The two will get smushe...

New animation currently sits at 25 images

I won't be finishing this for a few days yet, but once I do, I'm torn on whether I should share the animation, or wait until I put out a new update.  On the one hand, I obviously love showing off my art.  On the other, it'll make your "loss" more enjoyable if you're surprised by the full animation!  Any opinions on the matter?

Also, this has thus far only shown the exterior of the animation, and no interior.  I'm estimating the exterior will be 50-60 images, and the...

So I posted this image the way I did for a reason

Most people have no idea how animation really works, and why would they?  Hell, I am still getting better at it myself after a year of work.   This is an animation sheet for what I am working on next, and it is mostly blank because I am not only going to fill this sheet, but probably most of another.  All that blank space?  That'll be images that continue the animation!  I honestly should be a bit further along, but life is being rude to me atm.  I mean, exp...

This is either my final animation, or my worst animation. The support that follows will decide

Listen, I love making this stuff.  It's the best hobby in the world.  However, I really don't have much support...and my real job?  I make a years worth of Domain work a day!  I want to keep this up, I want to keep getting better, I want to image a world where Domain is the world I focus on!  But right now?  That's not the truth!  Please, try to support me anyway you can if you see potential in me becoming something better!  I'd rather be here than irl ...

First 200 frames of my Mia same-size Molly animation

 I mean, the title says it all.  I was planning on getting the whole thing out tonight, but I am being VERY critical and making sure things line up PERFECTLY.  Now then, there's a bit of "dust" that appears to the right.  I'll clean that stuff up in the final product.  Wow, this is coming along even better than I planned tbh.... 

So this took a VERY long time and a lot of effort to put together!

This is a quick sneak peak at the animation I will hopefully finish tomorrow night!  Of course, it's not animated yet!  However, I will use this sheet to put it all together bit by bit!  I can't say for certain how long this animation will be, but I'm guessing somewhere between 60 and 90 seconds.  This is me going all out in hopes of gaining more support to justify the time I put into this game.  I've put an average of 2 hours a night into Domain since last July, and ...

6 semi-random images from the newest animation

The external portion of this animation is finally done.  The internal portion takes a bit more set-up, but after the initial bits and bobs are made, should be quicker to make.  The external ended up being 38 images, and I just kinda chose 6 at random to showcase.  I'll be posting the final image in the set to my twitter; so if you don't follow me there, do it!  I mostly post small screen shots and retweet anime tiddies, but both those are pretty sweet lol.  At this ra...

Remaking an animation that was commissioned and lost.

When my laptop crashed, I was in the middle of creating an animation that would have filled up the black-screen story after your loss to Ophelia, where Mia swallowed Molly same-size.  Unfortunately, I lost that animation, BUT, I am remaking it in this new style I'm trying out.  I don't want to show off every frame right now, since I obviously want the animation to be fun and new to you all, but here is frame 1 vs the frame I am currently at.  Mia will gulp her down with a nice ...

Update to some map stuff I've drawn, and what I plan

So the basic concept of "giant flower that moves" is a thing I decided would be a cool trap.  Basically, it'll be stationary (with a "stepping" movement) and if you touch it's traps, it'll nom you for a moment and then spit you out with less HP.  Unless you hit 0, in which case, yeah buh bye.  This trap won't be too hard to work around; just don't get hit by whatever I decide to use.  It might be a vine, might be some kind of pollen, I'm up for suggestions.  Also, I'v...

Bit of map stuff drawn

Alright, disclaimer.  This is just kind of a demo of what I've drawn for the forest map so far.  I've gotten a decent amount done for the shrine down before it as well, I just haven't put it together for display yet.  The concept right now is that there is a light/dark version of the forest the players must traverse to bring balance to this new Domain, with a Succubus at the end of each path blocking each team.  Then, at the final cross-ways, a battle between the two teams...
