Future Budget and Spending Plans

Hello to all backers! 

I hope you've enjoyed the new content this past month. My goal with this post is to be pretty transparent about the cost and spending that goes into the game, as well as future spending plans. 

So, to get started this month I ended up spending $4,383.40 on the artwork and assets that went into the game. In total I ended up making $1414.01, so that helped offset the cost a bit; however, I still was in the negative $2,969.39 this month.

Kink Preference Poll Results

After a very lengthy wait, the kink preference poll has come to an end. 

To be honest I didn't know which of the major kink focuses would be the most popular, but at the very least I'm glad to see a good amount of people enjoy all 3 branches. If there wasn't anyone voting for 1 of the 3 kinks I'd be a bit concerned, but I'm glad to see that me splitting them up evenly should work out fine. 

Of course these 3 branches aren't exclusive, nor are they all encompas...

Content Preference

What type of content would you prefer seeing in the game?

This is more of a guiding poll towards which way I should skew future content. I heavily encourage you to vote for which of the 3 you want to see the most. 

This one is a multiple choice to allow for multiple kink preferences. I suggest only voting for 2 max though otherwise your vote does nothing really. 

Dungeon 1 Commission Alt

I got these commissioned but won't be using them, so here they are! 

This is the concept for one of the traps in Dungeon #1, but the style was off so I'm not able to use it. 

I hope you guys enjoy it!

Character Focus Poll Results

After another close poll Victoria barely clips her win over Aurora! The power of the double vote seemed to be on Victoria's side for this poll which put her a bit further ahead of Aurora. 

This means she has secured a lewd scene before next release in April!

As always I appreciate everyone's votes for the poll and I look forward to releasing the next poll!

Thanks,

Character Focus Poll

There's not a lot of characters right now, but a vote must be held for them nonetheless.

Dev Plans (February 1st - April 1st)

Hello Patrons! 

When I initially released this game I never expected this much support! This past week has been very exciting, and I look forward to delivering more content to you all. 

Now then, regarding future development there's three main focus points for the games development right now. 

1. Getting caught up on art. 

This game relies heavily on pixel and CG art with it's current style. The artists have limited...

Dungeon 2 Poll Results

After an eventful 6-days the dungeon 2 polls have finally closed! 

It was a tight race, but it seemed the Goth Girl managed to barely secure her spot over the E-Girl as the second dungeons transformation. For specifically what that transformation is or what it will entail well... that's a spoiler. 

Thank you to everyone who voted in the 1st poll for my game! I appreciate your support and look forward to getting to the second dungeons content!

Version 0.01 Released!

Hello! The game officially released approximately 13-hours ago! So far I am extremely thankful for everyone who has already decided to join and support the games development! 

Currently, there is no official backer version yet; however, I plan to release a backer version every 2-weeks until one is officially ready.

After that a new version of the game will release every 2-months. 

In the meanwhile attached is a teaser for a new scen...

3rd Tier Membership Example Polls

Attached are a few examples of what kind of polls you can expect for Possession Membership tiers.

While the above examples are limited to poses, future polls will include more specific content such as possible traps to be included in dungeons, side-quests implementation, character outfit/design variations, and various other game changing polls.

These differ greatly from the general content polls regarding which kink/character gets focused that patch and allows for a lot more votin...

Sapphire Commission Process

This particular process wasn't too hard as I had a specific framework in mind. The hardest part was getting her hands and feet to look slimey enough. 

I wanted her breast to be the largest in the game, and overall wanted her to have the biggest assets overall so that in the future certain events can play out. 

I think this body type fits a slime-girl a lot. 

Aurora Commission Process

Aurora's process was a bit longer than Emma's as I wanted to nail down what she would be (That and we accidentally had her drawn at the wrong angle... Whoops)

I decided that she should be shorter than Emma, but have a more lustful figure. I wanted a combination of insecurity and confidence and I think we achieved something close to that. 

Aurora Pose/Body Variations

Above were the considered body/pose variation for Aurora's character. 

I figured it would fit her better to be shorter. I wasn't sure on the exact proportions while creating her, but I think it turned out well. 

Pixel Art Commission Process - Base + Emma

Replacing the common RPG Maker sprites I decided on a 48x96 style of sprite which allowed for a lot more detail and much more appealing features on the sprites.

These sprites allowed for definable features (boobs + butt) to be shown clearly. 

Above you'll see various uniforms, hairstyles, and butt/leg designs that were considered when creating the pixel art. 

Emma Commission Process

With the first base design from the previous artist along with a sprite sheet from another artist I worked together with the current artist to create a base for Emma. 

After a few iterations it turned out really nicely. (In my opinion)

After testing the arts in-game appearance I was extremely happy with the results. 

That being said the above doesn't include the final version used in-game, a few more modifications were made before it was finished. 

Initial Poses

These were the initial pose designs for the main character, Emma. After a bit of deliberation and multiple polls I decided on going with a modified version of the second version.  

First Version - Emma

First rendition of the main character's VN model.

Artwork was nice but wasn't a huge fan of the end quality and the style of the artists work so I decided on pursuing another artist.
