TW Update #33 - Hellooooooo Nurse!

Hey ho, how we doin'?

For myself, I've been largely working on the script, but also been working on some 'placeholder' images that I'll eventually be building larger models out of- one of them being Nurse Jenny here, the first person you see in the game!

Unlike with the Orientation demo, I'm going to be quite content with just having 1 or 2 static images without changing expressions for this early tinkering phase, with the option to expand them out later as time permits. There are...

Discord Harvest Game! 'Fading Aria'

I note that while I'm working on commission stuff things get pretty quiet here in regards to new, postable content, but such is not so, and other stuff is being done- -like this! I'm working on a new turn-based discord game for people to play, and did a bit of art for it.

Right now it's still in the setup phase, but I'm hoping for some trial run come the end of the month or so in the most basic form, where the players ('Gleaners') will be going around harvesting the 'Grain' here, taking...

TW Update #32 - Introductions

Well with the basic systems designed for the narrative portion of the game, I figured that now is a good time to work on the full intro.

• In the orientation demo, I kinda threw y'all right into it, and though that worked in the demo, the main game is a little too complicated/tricky to do that with, and so we'll be having a proper introduction. The hope for the intro is you'll get, among other things:
  
  An 'overworld' of sorts to travel around [will probably use this for days o...

Update #31 - "That thing's fully operational!"

Though, similar to the 2nd Death Star, not fully polished. But regardless, it's basically done!

It was a bit of a time getting some of the UI elements to play ball, and a few quirks in setting variables, but so far as I can test, it's all functioning! There's a few altered lines and little asides that can happen based on some options taken- I also think that in the main game, I might have the player- Keller or Catherine- note when they might want to use Prophet, as it's one o...

Update #30: We Cut Our Fingers Off...

To get those little extra Insights~

Instructor Nootropics are here, after a very lengthy staying-up period! Don't worry I know it looks cluttered about, but that's just because I've got everything up; you can push them all of to the sides.

Currently I've only got it up in its most basic form on the Keller Path; for the next update we should have it fleshed out in its entirety along with a lil' more Live2d work; after the next update the content will be pretty much 'complete' beyon...

Gladiator Set is HERE! And Praetorian Slots Open Tomorrow!

It's here! The Gladiator Set! And by the grace of a Valar I must say this is probably my best work, as a complete package.


In this you will get:

• Images of each gladiator, both regular sized and HD, including seperate copies of the 3 CG's of the Title image, 'Thrall Materials' and the Shortfic CG.

• Thrallopedia Lore page pages and Thrall Profile Pages

No Update Today - Gladiator Set soon and Praetorian Set opening date!

As you can guess from the title, I've been working full throttle on the Gladiator Set for the last two weeks so haven't been able to implement new items to the TW main game.

I could have talked about some other stuff that is being developed seperate from myself for the game, but I think I'd prefer to let that come together a little more before showcasing it. For all insensive porpoises, I think it best just to skip the update this week so we can have a more subtaintial one in...

($2) Thrallopedia Gladiator Outfit Choice!

Here's the Roughs of the Videl Image for the Gladiator Thrallset! Yes a back-view, because none of the others in the set are and there's stuff on the Gladiator's back that needs showing off. Might turn the head a little more side-on though come the proper go for it, we'll see.

ANYWAY, here's the poll to choose the colourscheme! Outfit 1 is her most 'famous', outfit 2 is a variation o...

TW Update #29: Part of Your Daily Dose

'Lo all!

It's taking some wrangling for what the latest elements of the game are- 10 hours on 1 switch here, 5 on a button there- but we're getting close to bordering off a part of the system that is going to be both mechanically and narratively important for you going ahead- Instructor Glanding!

As the video above demonstrates, there's a side-menu to see your Thrall's status, but also one for yourself. Instructors have their own upgrades to use, and in...

TW Update #28: A Tasty Taster!

The grind on this one was a bit much to have it up for yesterday, but here, we have something for today!

It's an expanded-on scene from within the Scene Repository, where you take L-D19 on a trip around the place. It's not finished- there's some instances where the Live2d avatars aren't done to completion/don't have as many expressions as I'd like and etc., and nearly all of the UI has yet to be implemented (with one exception), but I think this ends up giving off a solid idea of the fl...

Gladiator Material Poll! ($5)

And here's a poll to decide who the last gladiator is going to be in the Gladiator Set!

We've already determined the style of Gladiator it will be, a Samnite, who fights with 'A large projector shield, with a weapon of less range.'

The pollsters could also write in the comments which material they'd like to see thralled, and here are the 3 that were written down!

Poll will be open until the end of the week, at which point we'll roll for it as we alw...

TW Update #27: Mini-Choices and Sexy Sessions

My my. And hello all!

This marks the last week of some truly time-consuming irl events on my end, but even so development on TW continues anon. We're close to a point where I can start sharing scenes again, even if they won't be perfectly put together, and it's my hope that as we continue on with these updates, I can get back to doing regular scene updates and example outlines for those interested.

Now that I'm writing about it, I suppose a big thing about these updates is that, w...

$10 Thrallopedia Poll - Gladiator Time!

Woooo, Gladiator time! This will decide which Gladiator is featured in the Thrallopedia, as decided by you patrons!

This poll will be open for a week! The poll itself will decide on what 'style' of Gladiator will be drawn (there are Gladiators that are built/designed differently) and the comments section will decide on the material- post up who you'd like to see in there, and then there will be a further $5 poll where people will vote on all the viable choices mentioned in the comment s...

Fashioning #6 ($10 Poll!)

Alrighty, next vote! Where oh where will she be off to next...

Also, expect the next set of votes to be rather different from these ones!

Fashioning #6 (Movement CYOA)

Waranese fungi all stem from the same Movement-controlled island; the small, isolated landmass serving as a lab for various new kinds of organisms, and a safe testing space divorced away from other, more populated areas, allowing the Minds and Gardeners there to experiment to their hearts content...

TW Update #26: But Wait, There's More!

The lines have gone backwards?! What's going on?!

Well, some nice things!

I came to something of a decision regarding a male/female split in the game.

Simply put, I was having problems with Keller gender-swapping at the start, as a lot of what I want to get into with Keller's issues are particularly male-orientated, and wouldn't make sense just to slap onto a female role,...

Gladiator Thrallopedia: Commission Slots CLOSED!

Gladiators are unique in all thrall models in that they...finite. Built into their nature is the idea that they will- if they lose in the wrong arena- cease to become Gladiators, and instead become Drones; another product far removed from the more creative and personable creature they were before.

To own a Gladiator, to be their Patron, says much about a person. Mad or romantic? Well, that's for them to say...

Yay, hooray, everyones favourite model is ...

Fashioning #5 Poll! ($10)

These THIEVES!!! What must be done?!

ROLL UPDATE:

....Well, at least the system works!  ^^;

I'll be sure to ensure enjoyment regardless. And there's always next time!

Fashioning #5 (Movement CYOA)

Spirits get kicks out of different things- adrenaline, certain ideas, certain passions...so long as you tick the box, many don't care what comes before or after.

F-Fridays are a lot like Monday, right?

My bad dudes; real-life work got in the way of updates horribly this week. And it's going to get worse before it gets better :s

But! As I'm doing these 3/4 weeks anyw...

New Dossiers! Commissions for Gladiator Thrallopedia entries opening on the 22nd of Jan!

Whew, 3 Dossiers! Remind me to never take this many on at once again, that took way too long for my tastes...but then it was a trying few months.

So here we have Arika, an OC, Yoko from Gurren Lagann, and Daria from Daria!

The next round of commissions will open on the 22nd of January and will be focused on Gladiator Thralls,  one additional, 'general' page of the Thrallopedia and the front page of the pack. I'll also be writing a shortfic for it!<...

TW Update #25: New Year, Same Resolution

At least for now. We'll see how FAT the files get at 1920x1080. Chonky assets for sure!

Anyway, development continues. The NYE chat (of which you can find the Q&A Transcript attached) did bring up an interesting thing to add to these updates- a rough progress outline!

Basically I'd like to break up the elements of what I'm working on into 3 categories; Writing, Art, Design. We have a little progress report on each

So we'll try it out on what we're currently working towa...

They HUNGER (Hunger Game Sketches)

As most of you know, every now and then I run a hunger game on my discord, where I use this website to set up a contest between 24/48 discord-user submitted characters, and we go through them fighting to the death until one remains.

The last character standing, the player who put them in gets to pick a thrall for me to sketch them...

Assurances: A Thrallworks Short Fic

Hi all!

Something was making me grumpy. As the Thrallopedia is getting added to the game, the value of the Thrallopedia packs on my gumroad went down. v.sad.

So I'm doing something about it! If you previously purchased the Secretary set (and for all new purchasers), a new short story will be included, only available in the gumroad pack! (For you patrons who have not downloaded them, check your codes and see about downloading them using said codes.)

That's all for now, but...

One seed planted, another looking to get their seed planted...

_________________________________________________

You know what's a lot like Monday? Tuesday! :D

Stepped up on some of the colouring/shading aspects of this series. Might tone it back down a tad due to how overlong it went and try and focus on the linework. We'll see.

Choice votes will be handled by $10 patrons over on a poll- As is common here, they're weight rolls, so every vote counts! You can even check...

TW Update #24: Year OVAH! Questions, anyone?

Well here we are, on the cusp of a new year! And a special $2 edition of the update!

I figure rather than a regular update though, I'll be doing something a little different. For those that don't know, I have a picarto that I stream on every now and then, and for NYE I'll be streaming, working on some CG art.

I figure that seeing as I'll be doing that I'd make an occassion of it, and pause every now and then...

Hey all, another fortnight, another poll!
