August has been a big month for this project, as it's marked the debut of the new core systems we'll be using going forward!
Additionally with the new world map and the alternative outfits for Susie, we've set the groundwork for many new features and content types coming in the future!
This next month we plan on putting the final touches to what we started this month so we can get back to what both you guys, as well as our whole team, wants to be able to focus on- consistent new c...

Our $1000 goal is to add story vignettes to the game, actually allowing players to talk to the starlets, learn more about them, and grow closer to them!
While we haven't hit that goal quite yet- we've been certainly considering it as we come closer towards that goal. To this end, we've begun working on some of the back-end elements in preparation.
How would we implement this?
How would the UI work?
How does it relate back to the rest of the game?

Hey there guys! Looks like the clock has struck midnight for me- I've got to run to catch a flight. I wasn't able to fully polish up the new build, but it is here, as I promised! Albeit more of a preview build than anything.
It's rough but the core loop is mostly there. It's enough to be able to see all of the cool new little presentation bits and pieces we've been adding, as well as to mess around with the new animations!
The animations are a bit buggy right now and the skin swap...

Here's the first of the new content from our Cloud Meadow collaboration!
This bonus chart is an expansion chart which you can use with the Spooky Starlets adventure chart.
After the revised version of Spooky Starlets releases, we will also be pushing out an update which will include Camellia into the game and give her a CG! Animations will come later.
This chart will be a public cha...

Hey there guys! A while back, I hinted at a new character coming to Spooky Starlets.
Now I'm excited to announce who that new character is: it's Camellia from Cloud Meadow!
She marks our second cross-over character as well as the start of an exciting new collaboration between us and Cloud Meadow!
Tomorrow I'll be posting a new bonus chart detailing Camellia's abilities and stats for use in the Spooky Starlets adventure chart.
In the future- we'll be adding Camellia to ...

Hey there guys, exciting update! We've gotten Spooky Starlets approved and with a coming soon page up on Steam! The time frame listed on the page, Winter 2019, is a rough goal but by no means set in stone yet.
To get this clear out of the gate- patrons will continue to receive the latest versions of the game, even after the steam release. The steam release will just be an alternative source to purchase the game once it is complete enough to stand-alone. I will l...

Hey guys! Here with that post I promised the other day.
First, I wanted to show off some of the revisions to the UI, as well as highlight the new tweening system we're using. Tweening allows us to do animations which actually transition out pieces of the UI- something which was already in the game, but our old system was limited and very time consuming.
This new system means transitions should be a lot easier for us to implement and should look a lot more polished.

Howdy guys! I know this month's been a bit slow- but there's new content on the way soon!
Due to some personal struggles with a big move, the tittyjob animation has been delayed slightly, but it's still slated to release!
To make up for that, I'll be releasing a new build of the game before the end of the month- it's not the new UI build quite yet, but an in-between build which features a new sex scene!
In the meantime, I wanted to get a better idea of what kind of content y...

Due to some delays in figuring out our brand new animation pipeline- we were only able to do one new animation this month. There was also a delay in moving forward with the updated UI- but for a good reason, we've been able to come up with something even better looking!
The new UI will be animated, make use of special effects, and be easier to understand and navigate! This UI update is importan...

Thanks to all of your support, we've been able to continue growing this month, and our second month of Spooky Starlets development has continued to ramp up!
As many of you guys know already- we're switching our focus temporarily, instead of making new Starlets we want to spend some time adding and improving the content for the existing Starlets. This means that we'll be focusing on having the existing Starlets receiving animations.

These items will eventually be added to the game as well- but that will likely come after our re-work of the current mechanics.
I will continue to work on new charts for the existing Starlets which show off their unique items and which provide a little bit more lore for each girl.
Basically how these work is that you can use the effects of these items with the cor...

Our very first sudden death voting- four choices, one class. This will be our last Starlet voting for two or so months as voting will be temporarily switching over to positions to animate next.
This means however that the stakes are higher this time- whoever doesn't get picked in this round of voting won't be seen for a while until we transition to a future Season block of girls and they make sense to come back.

The road to film stardom is different for every monster. Some start out as actors, others as musicians, others as fitness coaches. The beauty of the film business is that _anyone_ can become a movie star! Blibby's opportunity to act in films came from her illustrious career as a swimsuit model. While never formally trained in acting, director's clamor to feature her unique and unusual body.
While some less kind Starlets may gossip behind the scenes about Blibby's weight- she is actually...

So, time and time again, we've had people request to be able to actually see the films they make. Usually my kneejerk reaction was- "that would be too complex, it would require too many animations, the point of the project is to just use your imagination!"
But after hearing it enough and thinking about it, I got to thinking. Would it be too complex? So, I ended up talking to a few animators about potential solutions which we co...

LORE: In the world of Spooky Starlets, porn isn't just a niche type of entertainment like it is in our world- it is the main source of entertainment. Think of just how many of our movies and games feature violence and conflict. Imagine our version of Hollywood- but with sex replacing the "meat" of most movies.
This is no exception even when it comes to things like gardening shows, cooking shows, and even fitness tapes! This is where Lucy Lovette
