Lineart from redjet

I don't feel good today, so I'll try to keep it short: here is a sneak peek at the lineart for this month's commission. A few details will likely be different (the expression of the main character, to name one), but I think it's fair to say this one is looking good already!

Weekly dev blog: ramblings and more

So the polls are over, and the jobs/random events/drunk events choice won, so that will be the focus until the release.
For most of the week, I worked on Rahib: the new area map is 90% done, I need one more room and then it's time to add NPCs. Since I'll focus on random events, I might have to keep the area closed, as it might not get finished, but we'll see. I also re-worked the slime girl quest: now you can fail to deal with her (so the quest results fork, giving different effects with diff...

Weekly dev blog: internet sleuth edition

Between the last bugfix and today, I did some "generic" work: I tracked down a LOT of sprites and art free to be used in commercial projects by japanese artists (I was lucky, as I found someone who translated the terms of use). I think I have covered most of my future needs, actually. I also did some edits on facesets for the game (I wanted some emotions for a new couple of NPCs), and started working on Rahib's map (I think it would be nice to have at least one area completely done, so we start ...

Another bugfix (Third update is the charm?)

Here is another update, dealing with all the reported bugs (minus one which I couldn't reproduce). Here is the link:

https://mega.nz/#!IQRUHJrL!2Bes7sYhYdDARtz81dEgGZPaPi6qCjD2nHj_ezhvNkM

And here is the list of bugs fixed:

Secret crystal room won't get you stuck anymore;

Fixed issues with temple screens going black permanently;

You won't get stuck in mouse for...

It's poll time (for the wealthy :^), part two.

Here are the extra votes for the higher echelons of Patreon erotic enablers! Enjoy! ^_^

It's poll time!

I am working on the bugfixes (they are actually already done, but I am waiting for any new issues before releasing it later on today), and  also I am doing some more rebalancing on the combat (it should all work fine, but honestly, I am never 100% sure what's compatible with old saves or not, RPG Maker seems to have its own ideas about it, and I can never fully predict when changes do or don't appear when using old saves), but I figured it was really time to bring up a poll, so you can give...

Super quick hotfix!

Sorry, I released with a game-breaking bug (that will teach me to add small stuff AFTER I finished testing). Anyway, here is the link:

https://mega.nz/#!NVQmlAIS!P7ssYr-Te5CRcxGpedJXqXKJNHlxV7Pmc70zXRmD_QE 

And here are the bugfixes:

Fixed crash when discovering the new temple (sorry everyone... T_T);

Fixed endless loop in Salika's dialogue.

I hope no othe...

March update!

 Sorry for the slight delay, playing around with combat mechanics took me on a detour which I wasn't expecting. Anyway, here is a link to the latest update:

https://mega.nz/#!ARJR2JDT!GNPhWZnJ_lQ95oYiyPdzpSxcvEH1lrln7gMUfSZWVPI 

And here is the changelog:

New temple is done (it has quite a lot of secrets and puzzles, hopefully you'll enjoy making your way through...

New art for the game (NSFW)

So, this is the art I'll be using for the milking scenes from now on! To be honest, I have mixed feelings about it: while I think the quality is good, the artstyle might be too much of a departure from the rest of the game, so I am really struggling coming to terms with the look. Anyway, I tweaked it a little (and resized it for the game), and I got this one, which is actually what I'll use in the game (plus another smaller edit, similar to it):

Weekly dev blog: the temple is done!

The temple is now traversable from beginning to finish, the puzzles are in place, and as far as I can tell everything works as intended. I still need to place a few items, though, and I didn't make as much progress on the fighting system as I wanted to. I have started experimenting a little with some stuff, but I didn't find a breakthrough quite yet. I'll have some elemental enemies, and I am trying to design some interesting play/counterplay with those, but it's still a little rough.

To do so...

Weekly dev blog: actually on sunday edition!

("Write like there is no tomorrow", says Patreon, making my title even funnier ^_^)

Hi everyone, I am here with the usual weekly report! First of all, I finally managed to hire someone for the milking scene. It has been a nightmare, I contacted several people and most of them didn't even bother to reply (so much so that I started getting paranoid about being on some kind of black list XD), a few had incredibly long waiting lists, but eventually I found an artist. The one who did the new portra...

Bugfixing incoming! and polls results!

I think it's about time I release the bugfix:

https://mega.nz/#!AcZnzYCC!mqdqKgNUFquF0GMWkPrLDD9mv18s1N8n8LbnU0tJUZA 

here is the changelog:

Janet's picture now properly disappears;

Your picture disappears properly after the scene with Sonya;

The game doesn't treat everyone who tries to sell you drinks like a "busty beauty" anymore if you have the "titty l...

February update finally ready!

I wasted a few extra days, but I managed to change the portraits as well (it was a bit of a pain, because I forgot a few of the expressions I needed, so I had to do edit myself). A handful of the edits are probably not as good as they should be, but will likely get rotated out as the new art commissions become a reality. I think the worst edit is the milking machine (it wasn't great to begin with, but I didn't have time to re-do them from scratch, so they look poorly). Still, that's not a big de...

Second eye candy vote

Here is the usual second vote for those who like to rig the system ;p

Next eye-candy

Development is progressing as usual. I did convert the layered system to the new look (but I am not 100% sure I'll be able to convert the portraits in time, sorry for the inconvenience).

Anyway, with the new release drawing close, I wanted you guys to vote on something that won't involve my work, for a change, and instead pick the first scene which is getting a drawing to immortalize it. Here are the potential candidates:

Weekly dev blog: super short edition

I'll try to keep this short, because it's late over here, and I need to go to sleep badly! XD

Anyway, I made 3 more hypno-pendant scenes, and I changed some text to give some rules about how it activates: to avoid having to write alternative dialogues for everything and everyone, I have made it so that the one who forces it upon you also placed a trigger on it, you need to be called "dumb cunt". This might cause some silliness here and there, as NPCs need to be super rude in order for this to ...

Doing some tests with the new art

I haven't started switching the images to use the new art yet, but I tried to see how jarring it would be if I mixed old and new. It shouldn't happen too often anyway, but it doesn't seem awful. I will probably commission new art for NPCs as well, but I don't think I'll change all of them, so it's good to know. I think this size for the art is good (sadly, RPG Maker's resolution is what it is, and unless I re-do the maps, I can't even raise it beyond the default, or it would show all sorts of "b...

Here is another preview of the new look

What do you think? I find it pretty cool! ^_^

Weekly dev blog: lots of maps!

So, I added 2 scenes related to the hypnotizing pendant (one is brand new, as the sexy interaction only happens if you have the pendant on), and I did some more work to prepare the temple. Turns out I might need to prepare several screens for it to be worthwhile.

This time around, you don't have Alpharius guiding you, so it shouldn't be as easy to get to the temple. I already know the (fairly easy) puzzle that will need to be crossed before you can enter the temple, and I already made two more...

(NSFW) New look for the protagonist

So, here is a little teaser for the new bust I'll use for the main character! This is with the largest breasts available, as you might have noticed! ^_^

She looks a bit like her earlier appearance (I didn't want to completely cut ties with her "old self" and I plan on using the current sprite anyway, since I like it well enough), but I like the differences much better (also, it will be nice to have something replacing my awful nude edits of the original).

I hope you guys like her as much...

Weekly dev blog: back on track + poll results

Hey guys, it's nice to be back here (and not having to worry about freezing to death!). Things are still a mess in my country, but at least my city is mostly back to normal. Still, we are not here to discuss the weather, so let's move to the weekly report:

I added another floor to the new temple (which makes a total of 3 so far. I wonder if I should keep making 4 floors for each temple, but it seems a little too limiting, if I ever want something bigger/smaller, although I guess I could play w...

Things are slowly getting back to normal

 I don't want to jinx it, but it seems like the worst is over in my part of the town, and we *should* have electricity as normal, from now on. Phones seem fine too, and even if water pipes might be broken, we have a reservoir, so we should be ok for a while (as long as we aren't freezing to death, I think we can deal with other problems).

Maybe I'll even manage to do some work on the game, afterall! I did take a few notes with pencil and paper when there was no electricity, about some stu...

PSA buried in the snow

I think enough people know, but I live in Italy, and right now I am without electricity nor water, almost completely isolated by the snow (thankfully, the fucking earthquakes were just scary in my area, but no significant dangers so far). We managed to procure ourselves a small generator, and since the phone lines are working again, I thought I'd let people know in case I can't contact you anymore for a while. Once things get better, expect exaggerated stories of mr fighting wolves bare handed, ...

Hotfix for the 0.25 version

Here is an update to tackle a few of the issues in this release:  

https://mega.nz/#!YVBSiK5T!Aji0nSnn6ood4jcIWMAxRVu2gEzAS5DQNL9j0o_k1EM

I fixed all the reported bugs, which include:

Getting locked in a looping scene when entering  the temple in the slums;

Floating images after the new vampire scenes;

A problem with one of the secrets not recovering ...

Aaaaand the second vote!

You know the drill: same poll, second vote for the more generous of you! With great powers come great responsabilities, etc.

This month's poll (first vote)

As I anticipated earlier, here is the new poll! I want to focus on one thing AND work toward expanding the main storyline, which means expanding/finishing the new temple, and then try to bring to a good level one of the chain of events. If I manage to, I'll also work a bit on the combat system, to start smoothing the rough edges. Anyway, I'll have you guys vote on which side content it's going to get pushed forward.

January update!

Grab it here!

https://mega.nz/#!EQREmAYD!keGGxYoieSZxvWVzok__d98xzlcYwrXcW5cPA9XA7t4  

Here is the changelog:

Work at the brothel (needs lowered inhibitions, of course);

New area of the slums;

5-6 new scenes with the vampire (revamped progression, new nightly encounters, the original encounter has been vastly changed);

First two floors of the new tem...

Dev blog: A few things still missing

Hi everyone, sorry again for the delay with the status report, hopefully I'll catch up once the new version is released. Speaking of which, I should have it out in a couple of days, because I am a little behind with testing the new content. I can always fix it later, but I should at least do some basic QA before updating, to avoid annoying issues.

As for what I did this week, I worked on the new temple a bit more (I finished the second floor map), I added another scene for the vampiress, I add...

Good news!

Just wanted to let people know I finally found an artist. Right now I have only commissioned a new protagonist (while my edits were okay, I think it's better to get a new one, done professionally), next month, I'll probably start asking for specific sex scenes to be portrayed, so we'll be able to do away with the black background.

Also, I got featured in an article at lewdgamer!

Happy new year!

So, it's 2017, and we have (probably) all recovered from our new year's eve parties. I hope everyone had a good time! As for myself, it was the usual stuff, but it's always nice when you hang out with friends.

As for the game, I added 4 new scenes to the vampire path (I also had to rewrite and move around some of the old scenes, so hopefully the events flow smoothly into each other). Once you go far enough into it, she'll start to drop by to your house for some nightly fun. I plan on it being ...
