Episode 3 public release

Hey!

Episode 3 is now available for everyone.

Here's a link to the post: Episode 3 release 

I added a download link to the About page as well to make it easier for people to find later on.

Cheers!

Update #26 Merry Christmas!

Hoehoehoe. 

That's how Lewd-Santa spells it. Trust me.

Christmas is coming, and it's a white one too. I'm actually talking about snow, get your mind out of the gutter. That's the one nice part of global warming, I guess. The bad part is everything else. Oh well.

For the last week I've been brainstorming ideas for Episode 4 while waiting for the poll to finish. To no one's surprise Saranhil took the victory by a wide margin, so she'll be getting the large spicy scene at ...

4k Extra Images #5 More and merrier than ever

Here's a set of images with a Christmas theme. I wanted to get this set out earlier , but I wanted to get Episode 3 out even more. To compensate I put more effort into this set than any of the previous I've made. That evens it out, right? Surely.

It's a Christmas party, and MC Donkey fell asleep. Too much eggnog probably. The rest of them get spicy.

I'm thinking of making New Year's Eve set out before the end of the year as well. I don't think I'll do all of the characters again t...

Poll #5 Spicy McSpiceface

This here poll will decide which character gets a big and spicy scene with Ruru at the end of Episode 4. Is the MC going to get lucky again, or is it time for Ruru to play with someone else?

Keep in mind that the scene needs to fit the current character's arc, so the actual spiciness of the scene will be dependent on who gets it.

The poll will be open for about a week, so everyone should have time to vote. I hope.

Update #25 Anakin's worst nightmare

Heyo!

Yeah, I dunno, there's a lot of sand in that picture so the title kind of wrote itself. This was from a scrapped attempt at doing another main menu. There was probably a way to make this scene look decent with some lighting/effects/stuff, but I wasn't feeling it. The sand is just a boring backdrop to have. It's also rough, and course, and...

Episode 3 has dropped, and I hope you all enjoyed it. Or will enjoy it if you haven't had the time to play it yet. There was originally...

Episode 3 release

Changelog:

640+ new renders.

15 new animations across 4 scenes.

Replay gallery added.

The main menu got a little face lift, I spent some time trying to find a free logo maker that would allow me to get a transparent background. Genuinely surprised that I couldn't find any, so off to paint I went and made one. It actually looks kind of nice.

Also replaced the five images in the short intro were Ruru asks you to name the MC and so on. Just a small little thing, but...

Update #24 Count Unhirable de la Vanne

Hello!

Only three more scenes to implement into the game now. I've been doing the sound stuff as I go along this time, so no need to go back for that either. Also, there's now a replay gallery. Nothing fancy, but it works. Well, I mean. It works for me, anyway. Not like anyone else has tested it yet, so we'll have to see.

The scene from the first episode should be unlocked already if you've seen it, episode two, not so much. I kind of made an oopsie in how I implemented those scen...

Update #23 Code city

Heyo!

Soo... I've made 93 renders and 8 animations this week, for a single scene, and somehow it's still not quite done. I mean, it's kind of several separate scenes depending on player choices and what not, but still. Anyway, the final renders will be finished tomorrow and then it's off to code city! And I just came up with the title for this update.

The picture above is from the scene I've been working on. Yep, Ruru gets the final scene again. I might change that formula for the...

Update #22 Grind finale

Yo!

Hopefully this week should be the final grind in terms of rendering (thus spawns the title of this update, totally didn't steal it from a grindcore band). There's really only one scene left, though it's pretty big and it's going to have several animations, but it should be doable.

Speaking of animated scenes, I spent a lot of hours yesterday on a single four second animated loop. I was figuring out how to animate faces. And then I was figuring out how to make them not look lik...

Update #21 Anotha one

Hi and hello. 

Yep, it's another bathing scene. What can I say? I like 'em. Played around some more with shadows in this scene, you can see Sveida's shadow by Saranhil is preeetty big. Maybe a bit too clear a shadow considering that there are other light sources. I don't know, I'm no expert. 

With today's renders there's now over 450 renders made for the next episode, which means we're getting pretty damn close to finished with those. Still need to make some animations. ...

4k Extra images #4 A late and musclebound halloween

Played around a little with some spooky lighting in this set. I think it managed to emphasize the abs pretty well in some of the images, so I thought that was cool. It's a little bit less extreme on the lighting in the last two images, which was actually not intentional, the damned thing crashed on me, and even though I'd saved the scene, the exact setting weren't quite there. Oh well, I guess it's nice that you can actually see something in those pictures.

Update #20 Tanathil enters

Good something something.

Today we have a fancy even numbered update. Yaaaay. I don't really have anything special for that though. Err... I mean it's the grand reveal of Tanathil in the actual game! Yaaay. That's like meaningful or something, right?

On a different note, I try to add some little stuff here or there like the boots in the background to try and create the illusion of a world that exists outside of the characters. I mean, ideally the entire arena would be filled, but ...

Update #19 On towels

Yo!

When was the modern bath towel invented? Is what I asked myself as I added one on Ruru in this scene. Apparently terrycloth has been woven since ancient times, but the modern version is Turkish and just a few hundred years old. I hadn't heard the word terrycloth before either.

So... not quite historically (or fantastically, I guess) accurate. But almost! And that's good enough for me. We'll just pretend they're ancient towels. Yep. I don't know what an ancient towel would look...

Update #18 A little preview of Episode 3

Heyo!

Another week of rendering done. I thought I'd give a little showcase of a few scenes that I've been working on.

This is obviously from the same scene showed up top. A little late night rendezvous between Ruru and Saranhil. Who ever thought it was a good idea to put a z in rendezvous needs a slap on their fingers. Anytime a word is spelled that nonsensically it's always the French w...

Update #17 This is a title

Hello! 

We've officially began on rendering images. I've managed three scenes so far, out of a total of twelve planned scenes. I guess it's not exactly twelve, some are split into sub-scenes and what not. But yeah, about that amount. Which should amount to a similar amount of renders to last update. I think.

The plan is to have a few more animations this time around compared to the first two episodes, not sure exactly how many though. Maybe four scenes or so? I think that wou...

4k Extra images #3 Saranhil kimono set

Here's the set I promised in the last update. This tiny kimono is one I've been thinking about using for something in the game, but I haven't found a good opportunity for it yet. At least I can feature it in a little set.

I wasn't sure if I wanted Saranhil to look a bit embarrassed or if she should be enjoying herself. In the end the images ended up in kind of a mix and I'd like to imagine that she can't quite make up her own mind about it.

Now I'm immediately off to render some s...

Update #16 A Gary is never late

Except when he posts an update on a Sunday. 

Hello, hello, and hello. I was going to update yesterday, but I only had access to my laptop. Therefore there would have been no image to go with the update and that's simply unprofessional. Almost as unprofessional as posting late. Almost.

The script is finished. Wooo! Now comes the hard and time-consuming part. I was going to begin rendering and stuff on Friday but had to run an update which took quite a while, so I just polished...

Poll #4 Healer's Grand Finale

So there was a three-way tie in the last poll. There were more total votes for the hourglass figure, and more total votes for the sun elf skin color, so that's the combo we landed on.

I've also made the executive decision to name her Tanathil. "But, Sir Gary, that sounds quite similar to Saranhil", you might say. And you would be right! I figured making her part of the Imperial family would be interesting for the narrative. Also, you don't have to call me "Sir".

For her outfit I w...

Update #15 Old Saranhil checking in

Yes, that's an old version of Saranhil, not a suddenly transformed version of the unnamed Healer. I recalled that I mentioned I would show what she once looked like. You might be able to tell that the game at that point was going to be very different. I like the version I eventually landed on a lot more.

Writing the script is going well, and I should be able to finish it in the coming week. That means we need to finish up the healer soonish, so that she's ready for when it's time to ren...

Poll #3 Getting bodied

It's Thursday? Damn, I could've sworn it was Wednesday. Stupid week, stealing days away from me.

Whatever, here's a poll! I know I said skin color, but I figured we may as well get to body type as well. There really weren't too many skin colors that I particularly liked since I had already made up my mind about the hair color, but I like all three of these.

So it's basically two body types in three different colors. Some details may be changed to fit a bit better once we've narrow...

Update #14 Anotha one

Hello everybody!

Bit late to update this week. Had a busy Saturday, and I'm ever so slightly hungover. The image I present to you today is a preliminary version of the healer that's to join the cast of characters come next episode. I tried white eyelashes first, but I think this works a lot better.

Now I have to start working on her body. Also there should be a poll soonish to determine her skin color. Last poll with the haircuts was a tie, so I made the executive decision for thi...

Poll #2 A Hairy Plotter

So, here are some potential hairstyles for our prospective healer. Not sure about having white eyelashes, might need to darken the eyebrows a tad bit as well. The facial expressions can be disregarded, they are mostly there to give a little life to the pictures. And as the professional I am, the pictures are perfectly same sized and therefore fit flawlessly in this collage. Yep. Flawlessly.  2023-09-27 14:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post

Update #13 Onward!

Hello!

So, you might've noticed that Episode 2 has been released in Early access. If you've played it already, I hope it did not disappoint. The post unlocks in two weeks, well, less than two weeks now I guess, at which point it will be publicly available. 

I'm trying to strike a solid balance of building up relationships and spicy scenes. I have a hard time judging whether I hit it, though. At any rate, you can expect episodes to get spicier and spicier as we get further int...

Episode 2 Early access release!

Here we are! Episode two is finally finished.

Adding sounds and stuff went quicker than I had anticipated... Probably because I don't have much of a clue what I'm doing in regards to that. So. Yeah. There's sound. Woo.

The MC's name might be borked in old saves, apologies for that, I n00bed it up a bit. This shouldn't be an issue for new saves going forward.

If there are any issues, bugs, or spelling errors, please tell me and I'll make sure to fix them.

I'll make the ...

Poll #1 Where's the damn healer?

Heyo,

I'm back in action, the move went fine and everything is setup again. Here's the poll that I think I first promised quite a while a go. Never let it be said that I don't deliver. Just... you know... sometimes it takes a bit of time.

So, yeah. This poll is for how the team's healer will look like. They'll be created for Episode 3, so I won't start actually working on them before I've released Episode 2.

There are more options I would've liked, but stuff like cat ears, t...

Update #12 Early Bird Something Something

Hello!

As I said last week, this update is coming a bit early as a result of me moving this weekend. I've Ren´Pied all the scenes now, except some minor details in the final scene. 

I've also gone through the entire thing to hone the dialogue a bit, trying to make sure stuff said matches the images a bit better than the original script and so on. So it's mostly down to actually adding in the sounds and then we'll be good to go. 

Oh, I also really need to get that ...

Update #11 Rendered Useless

Howdy!

This Thursday I finished adding a scene into a game, only to realize that the renders in the next scene looked like absolute ass. If you recall an earlier update I complained about some PC crashes. Yeah, this scene was the major culprit. 

I had fiddled around with the lighting a lot in order to stop the crashes, which eventually worked. But I hadn't taken into account how jarring the renders were with the lighting changing between them, and not just the one time either...

Update #10 Ren´Pying

Salutations and what not.

By the way, Ren'Pying is definitely a term, and if it's not I just coined it. 

So I've gotten my hands on a better source for music. It cost a small fee, but there's both more quantity and quality. There's really few places that will sell licenses to music for NSFW media, and hiring a composer is... uh... yeah ain't no one got that type of money.

So now I'm contemplating what type of music to use again. There's fantasy themed music and while th...

Update #9 An animated animator

Heyo!

Now that renders are done I'm slowly going to be running out of preview images. That's no good, it just won't feel like an update without an image up top. Maybe I'll show off some stuff from an earlier project that never saw the light of day. Or maybe I'll just scrounge up some images I haven't shown yet. There's a lot of them, they just won't feel as crispy and new.

This week I've been learning to customize animations. Not creating custom animations from scratch, that's bey...

Update #8 Crouching MC Hidden Maiden

If you look very very hard, you might spot the MC.

Good day/evening/morning, whichever one is applicable. Renders are all but done for the next update, just a couple of small things to add. This coming week I'll be focusing on getting animations finished, and then it's just putting it all into the actual game. The script will be fine-tuned along the way and sounds will be added.

Speaking of audio, I always played these types of games muted before trying to create one myse...
