Not dead!

Hey folks, sorry for the spacing in posting. Life events have cut down the time I'm able to put towards she-bulk and the game right now. Normally I get 12 - 16 hours a week to work on things amd post. Right now I'm getting 30 minutes or less a week. Good news is that this is not permanent. Things will go back to normal in two weeks. I may be able to get up dialog snippets, or some more AI images, if anyone is interested in that sort of thing.

Sorry and thanks!

Chapter 7!

Stayed up late to do the thing again.

Here is Chapter 7! 

I probably won't be able to post/work much on the game or the comic this week, life stuff and all that.

Sorry and Thanks!

Proof of Progress

Mainly to show I have not been idle with the game development!

 I am almost done posing the "morning after" scenes. From there I'll start posing the new "office scenes" so on and so forth. 

I figured if I can't get a rendered image up, ya'll can see the rough draft.

Thanks!

HH

She- Bulk Chapter 6!

Life will be hectic again the next few weeks so my posting may unfortunately become more erratic.

In the meantime progress continues on the game, still in the posing phase, but I will try to get a render or two up soon for what's next. 

That's all for now!

HH

She-Bulk Chapter 5!

Stayed up way too late, got it done.

There was no hope of it happening this (next?) week, so I figured I had to make it happen tonight!

Life is busy this (next?) week, so my content creating time is pretty much zero.

Hope you all have a good one!

HH.

Dev Log 6/14/23

I hit kind of a brick wall so I decided to just start at the beginning. 

I found myself toying with a whole bunch of things, code, images, assets but until this last week I didn't feel like I made any progress. I started posing the images for the "right after" part of the end of the last weights reveal scene. That's when things started making sense again. This my typical long winded way of saying things are moving forward!

No new images have been rendered yet, I am still in t...

AI Danielle

She Bulk Chapter 4!

Here is the next chapter, date night continues!

Chapter 3 of She-Bulk!

I am continuing to plug away at some test renders for the game and the process of getting the next chapter started.

That's all for this week, 

HH!

Test for enhanced scenes

That's a fancy way of saying I'm gonna try and do a "Danielle - work" approach for each activity. Meaning, each activities first new scene will be full renders, then the repeat with be sprites with the potential for some full scenes being and "end cap".

These are a few I whipped up for the beach scene.

This should be very doable for the beach scene this time around, I will try this for another one as well.

That's all for now!

Hope all is well,

HH

She-Bulk Chapter 2

The Adventures Continue! 

Pages 3 - 10 of She-Bulk

This concludes chapter 1!

She-Bulk will return! I already have an excessive amount of pre-work done on this, once that runs out I'll see if there is interest in it continuing.

This chunk will be going on Deviantart in the next week or so.

Thanks!

HH

What's Next?

Now that this version is pretty wrapped up, my plans for the next version include:

 - Updating one activity so that it has a "full scene intro" like the office activity, this will probably be the beach, other will follow in subsequent versions

- Adding the Sherry and other office stuff

- Continuing the story

- Adding the vanilla conversation options 

That's all for now! I have been rendering the finale for the last weight reveal scene, I thin...

Bugfix 1.5.1 Mac

Same notes as PC.

Thanks!

HH

Bugfix! 1.5.1

I tried a few fixes for the infinite loop, this hopefully takes care of that problem. 

I also fixed a myriad of typos and some inconsistencies.

The other fix is for the weight stages of the work activity, you'd see the new stage before the weight gain scene. This makes it so that if you choose to visit Danielle at work before seeing the weight gain scene it skips straight to lunch then the afternoon goes as normal.

Thats all for now!

HH

PS the mac...

Infinite Loop...

...is an infinite pain in my ass!

I have never been able to recreate this error consistently, so it's been hard for me to pinpoint. 

But enough have come up where I believe I am able to triangulate the origin point. 

I think it has to do with part of the day cycle. The issue is that I'm afraid this will take some major restructuring. I'm hoping to have a patch released by next Tuesday for this. 

Today was mostly trying to find the source of the ...

Version 1.5

Here is the Mac version! 

I am unable to bug hunt this one so good luck!

For additional dev notes, please see the note on the PC version.

Hope you're having a good one!

HH

Version 1.5

Here we go!

And a day early to boot!

Version 1.5 is live. As noted in other posts I did not get everything done and for that I am sorry.

Some of the images are grainy, but that is just a result of my rinky-dink laptop.

Added in this version:

- Some updated backgrounds

- Some updated sprites

- a Work activity

- a new daytime activity

- a chance at beating Danielle at video games at (later game)

- Adjusted coding (this is to make addin...

Launch Date on 4/25

If all goes well, I will be bug testing on Monday 04/24 and posting the newest version on Tuesday 04/25! 

As normal there will still be bugs lol, feel free to report whatever you find. I can't claim to be super proud of this version as I fell short of my goals. But the content that is added was the best I could produce on my rinky-dink laptop.

I hope this all finds you well wherever you are!

Thus begins the Adventures of She - Bulk

Spawned from an idea here on Patreon as a limited release comic, my imagination ran wild. 

Here is the cover and first two pages of She-Bulk.  

The next pages won't be released until May, after version 1.5 of WholeHog is completed. 

Thanks!

HH

Lengthy explanation and apology

Here is the promised lengthier explanation of what is on the cutting floor and why, but for those that want the spark-notes here we go.

 - Shelly's office interactions have been cut from this version

 - The "extra flavor" conversations have been cut

 - This image was from a test render that I was practicing with to "update" the beach scene at the end of the beach activity, which will be going into future updates

This begins the lengthy explanation:

Devlog 4/3

Progress continues! 

The story is flowing more naturally in the hiking activity, at least for my liking. We are getting close to a release. 

I did trim some things back, mainly because I feel like I've dragged this on long enough, and because perfect is the enemy of good.

I'll post some test images of Danielle tomorrow,  these will eventually make their way into the game, along with a more lengthy explanation of what I trimmed and why.

In other news I ha...

Devlog 03/28

Progress continues, 

These images are from when Danielle decides to surprise you at your office!

As mentioned before I am hopeful for an April release, especially if I am able to keep up the same pace.

Thanks all!

HH

Devlog 3/21

Still crunching away, typing in the story and adjusting some coding. I've made a few amendments to the hiking dialogue, it flows a bit better in my opinion. Still not 100% happy, but half a loaf is better than none and all that.

In some spare minutes, just to scratch the creative itch, I've messed around with some story and renders for She-bulk. 

I'll post some semi spoilers images next week!

Thanks all,

Progress Report 03/07

It probably doesn't help I flip between "Progress log" and "Devlog". There is probably a real difference, but for me they are interchangeable.

ANYWAY:

- Progress is being made! The hiking scene is in the process of being coded in. (TBH I'm struggling a bit with the dialogue. It seems forced somehow? Re-writes may be in the near future to try and make it feel more natural between the characters.)

- I have been knocking out some sprites for Shelly in the meantime as...

She-Bulk Lives

The idea from Brendan Johnson's comment got the creative juices flowing.

So I re-made She-Bulk in a before and after image. That really got my interested in the comic idea that was put forth. So, I stayed up late and putzed around. I think I have a viable story and assets for a She-Bulk comic! 

This will be worked on in any extra time I can scrounge as I am still fully devoted to getting the game out ASAP. Having renders to toy with makes coding more fun.

That's all for...

Devlog and self flagellation

Time for a progress report! 

I have all the new "office interaction" scenes coded except for Shelly. I still have to code the hiking activity and the extra "flavor" conversations into the game. So all in all, progress is being made! 

Now onto the self flagellation. Shame unto me and my ancestors. I did not save the original image. This blur-tastic monstrosity you see before was once a wonderfully crisp image (if I do say so myself). I compressed it, to try and get it to ...

The last thing a chocolate sees...

Enjoy Valentine's day, Danielle certainly is!

Devlog 02/14/2023

Hello!

The full scene renders are finally finally almost done. I have two left, then the focus will shift to coding with a minor point on touching up some sprites. 

(This rough picture is from a scene not in the current update, but will be implemented in the future. I have decided the fair and of course fair food, will be an upcoming activity. I also made it to test changing the image on the TV screens used here, previously I had not known how to do this.)

Sorr...

I don't fit!

Well duh, probably all that fair food.

There was sale on Daz so I snagged some new things. This was going to be a one off, or maybe a comic. But looking at this, there is a definite possibility of it being the next new activity to do. I think it has potential!

That is a thought for a future update however.

Hope all is well!
