Oh Lily, what are you up too?
I'm about halfway through the small free-roam sequence and now moving into setting up Joe's path. Some of that is linked to the other half of the event, thus it will need its completion first.
Didn't get a lot done this weekend as it was my father-in-law's 75th birthday.
Have a good week.
Hi all,
More of the same this week again, getting all the scenes I have left in order. I've been working on a small free-roam type event that will allow you to spend some time with certain characters of your choice. I won't spoil much about it, but it's an entertaining little scenario that can lead to some funny results, depending on what you choose to do. There's some complex twists and turns, so I suspect I'll be trying to finish that off this week and see where we're at, before I can...
2022-11-20 15:11:21 +0000 UTC View PostIn episode 1, there were quite a few choices to be made. Some of these choices made the characters behave and react in different ways, often leading into different scenes. There are quite a few consequences implemented in episode 2 but I'm curious to see what the majority of people have gone for.
Please take a minute to tick some of the choices you've made in episode 1.
Thank you!
Hello,
Not much to report this week as I've been doing mostly scene after scene after scene, tying everything together. There's a lot of variety in the scenes, mainly because of the initial complexity I created.
To give you an idea, here's an example of a single scene and which factors I need to keep in mind, depending on how you've made your choices:
-Joe is your roomie
-Lily is your roomie
-Lily is becoming your friend
-Lily is becoming your lover
-Lily does...
Salutations,
I dropped the fight game earlier this week and was overall well received! There were some game-breaking bugs/crashes in some places, but those had been quickly found by the ones who signed up for testing it. All of those have now been fixed.
Many thanks to all you lovely people that provided all the valuable feedback and detailed reports! There are still some balancing issues and for most, the submission game was slightly too hard. I'll do another couple of passes a...
I'm almost ready with the sparring match. I've got the day off tomorrow and I'll spend it fixing some issues and getting a stand-alone build together for the testers to play around with. I need to configure the starting stats properly, depending on which disicpline you decide to train.
This was an insane amount of work in the end, that I greatly misjudged. To give you an idea, a single fight scenario takes at least a 120 renders, and that's not even taking the unique moves you can lear...
For those that aren't on Discord, here are some extra renders for you.
Enjoy!
Hello,
The fight game is pretty much fully functional (thank fuck for that, it was a bit of a nightmare and severily testing my brain capacity). I said I was going to send out a version to those who wanted to help play-test this and I will still do so. However, I don't think it works quite as well without any visuals, so I have decided to at least include a full sequence of an entire fight. It's hard to tell otherwise what's going on (especially when it comes to the ground transitions ...
I realised that in the last two weeks, I haven't really shown any interesting renders that much. Based on the previous post, our MC was just having a sparring match with one of his class-mates, Rosie.
They're still friends and no true harm was done to each other!
Salutations and apologies for the long post!
-Progress-
Last week, I've been trying to get as far as I could with the fighting game. I was hoping to be finished with a complete version by this weekend, but I didn't make that deadline. An idea on paper usually seems so much easier until it slowly becomes a reality. There are so many factors you have to consider and often simply don't think about, until you actually start developing. Fix one issue, and another rises...

This week I've been cracking on more with the fight system. It's been more work than anticipated but it's progressing. The Standup game and combo selection is completely working, but I didn't get as far with the ground and submission game.
I was contemplating releasing just the standup game for the playtesters, but that alone doesn't quite cut it. I'd rather have you see the complete package to make a better judgement. It's not pretty, but it's working at least.
It is a good tim...
Last week, I've made some improvements to the "trainer select" screen which now shows a bit more useful information. I don't have all the information in there yet, as it's still a work-in-progress and depends on the various stats the fighting game will provide.
Work has started on the fighting system. I have a basic version ready, which as of now is a turn based one. I feel this is the best approach (for a ren'py game) as I'm not a fan of quick-time events and prefer people being able ...
Hail!
As I'm out this weekend, I'll do my weekly update a bit earlier. Not a great deal to update you all on, other than that it is slowly coming together piece by piece.
I've attached a short video of the trainer selection menu. It's an early iteration that I will continue to work on next week. It's a complicated one to set up since it allows you to choose your fighting style by combining striking and grappling, each requiring a different trainer and sub-group with different pe...
Tally ho!
Not much to report this week. I'm approaching the 200 render mark. Mostly scene setup, posing, rendering and dialogue.
This will continue next week.
Lily's is up to something to, that's for sure!
I hope you all have an excellent week!
Greetings!
With a lot of characters, come a lot of poses and reactions. I've been setting those very things up this week and just hit render number 70, just for the class introduction scene alone. This number will ramp up slightly as I will start refining and realizing I need a few more different shots to match the dialogue.
Next week I'll be setting up the training sessions. This will split the group as a whole into smaller sub-groups, depending on which disicplines you choose....
Salutations!
Not a great deal of new things to talk about this week. Some work has been done on the mini-games and the introduction scene to your first mma class is being worked on. I'm about 50 renders in and have written a lot of dialogue as well. It's coming along rather nicely.
I've fixed a major bug with the save states which unfortunately requires you to start again in the next release. All your saves will become invalid. This should only be a one-off and hopefully never h...
Hail to all!
Last week I've been busy with setting up the continuation of where episode 1 ended. There are 3 different possible outcomes when episode 1 currently ends that I have to account for, and all 3 have to be different going forward.
One of these paths is almost completed and fully implemented. That means I have 2 more to go.
As I mentioned before, there has been some great feedback. Some of them came in the form of ideas that sparked conversations between multiple...
Hello!
I've been cracking on with building the new gym environment and it's coming along nicely. In general, I'll try to limit the time spent on building a new environment from scratch to about two weeks. That'll give me enough time to get it to an acceptable level without dwelling on the nitty-gritty for too long. If this was my focus only, I can easily spent 6 months on one and make it really fabulous, but I don't want to leave you hanging like that! There's one more environment plan...
Best girl?
Of course this had to be done at some point, so here we are.
Salutations!
Last week, I've finished most of the remaining cast members and made various improvements to the previously shown ones from the last update.
In the coming week (and possibly the one after), I will be working on the new environments. You'll spend a significant amount of time inside of the academy gym this episode, so I'll start with that.
If you're on my Discord, you can follow the progress update on that. I'll try to post updates on each important step, that ...
Hello!
-Wether you decide to pick kickboxing, muay thai, boxing, wrestling or jiu jitsu, you're bound to get closer to some of these ladies in your upcoming class!-
Last week I've pretty much entirely worked on some of the new people featured in Episode 2. I'm roughly about halfway through.
If you don't want to be spoiled, don't download the image or look in the spoiler previews section on Discord.
Next week, I'll be continueing and hopefully finish the...
​Took a little break after the first release to set up the community and engage with a lot of people. I received a lot of help from very supportive devs, patrons and followers and I'm very grateful!
Now that that is all up and running, I'm slowly getting back to work on episode 2. All the major plot points already exist for the entire story and I've begun writing the road to get to those major points.
Thanks again for the support, you're awesome and couldn't have done it w...
