It's dev build time again! This one may seem like not much changed, but it's because most of what I finished since last time is under the hood! All of the systems mentioned in the last recode update are fully implemented and (fingers crossed) working. This means the new weight gain system is in place, stats are now experience based and you'll gain progress toward improvement even from partial success...
2019-11-29 22:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostWith a bit of an upset from the seniors we have our three finalists for this month! With all votes tallied, the top three scenes were: Scene 3, Scene 6, and Scene 9! Vote for your favorite! Here are their descriptions again for ease of reference:
Scene 3: When you run into Sam in the courtyard on Monday, you can offer to help her catch a second meal to really impress her sister. (Oral Vore, Player Observer/Accomplice) Day 2/Monday

As a reminder, I'm trying out a new system this month so the poll will end on the 28th, after which a poll with just the top three scenes will be posted for the rest of the month. Also, I'm now giving more detailed tags to all scenes.
Scene 1: Janet offers to let you use her like a taxi to get through the halls safely to class, but she may n...

Apologies for the delay, but the first recode dev build is ready for testing! It contains all of Day 1 fully functional in the new story format, and all of it's vore scenes converted to the new system! There's also quite a bit of minor tweaking or rewriting in various scenes.
The new time system is fully implemented and with it the new method of digestion being time based, but the other parts o...
2019-11-16 09:31:14 +0000 UTC View PostI was originally hoping to have the dev build ready for today, but that proved to be overly optimistic so I've got a status update for you instead!
With everything settled on the new pred and prey systems, thanks to your feedback, I've fully transitioned to converting all of the old scenes into the new format. I ran into a few small issues moving the code for the systems over to the main story files, but everything's working now! Both scenes with Anita (+the Sam followup to her pred sce...
2019-11-09 06:46:25 +0000 UTC View PostThe results are in, and Scene 2 is the clear winner for this month! Looks like Chandra will be getting another chance to shine, but I don't think she'll be happy about it ;) . Like last month, this one will be implemented alongside the recode!
This month I'm going to be trying out some changes to the way the scene poll works. Setting the start date the way I have been made sense to me conceptually, but in practice it's felt a bit awkward. In addition, a majority of the ...

This is one of the two major characters you haven't met yet. The only problem? I recently realized (after some confusion) that I've been interchangeably calling her both Charlotte and Chelsea in my notes! Whoops!
Since I made her reference before realizing the mixup and like both names, I thought it might be fun to let you guys decide! Vote for whichever you like more/think better suits t...

It's time for a preview of how things are going to work as a pred! This version of the demo only includes Mandy's solo scene, but that should be enough to give you a feel for how things work. There are a few things to note about pred scenes:

2019-10-28 21:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostTime for another quick update on where the recode is at! Things are coming along quite well, and I'm actually a bit ahead of schedule thanks to some assistance from PastelStoic. All of the non-vore scenes in the game are (tentatively) fully functional already thanks to their efforts!
I'm starting to near the end of Phase 2. Thanks to your testing help, the new prey system is finished and in a very good spot, and the predator system is close to being ready to test! An updated demo ...

A new version of the prey system is ready to be tested! I've revised things based on the feedback received on the last build. The biggest change here is that the way pred actions are handled has been completely redone! Your predator will now have a more dynamic, custom-tailored set of actions that changes as the struggle goes on, and sometimes they'll respond specifically to the action you j...
2019-10-18 07:08:48 +0000 UTC View PostJust a quick announcement that there's now a discord server for the game! It's exclusive to patrons at least for the time being, you should get an invite as soon as you connect discord to your account if you're pledged.

The demo for the new system is ready! It contains two prey scenes from the first day that have been adapted to the new system: Sam's and Sarah's. You'll notice that each of them have three difficulties you can choose from- this just changes how much stamina you start with to get a feel for how things will play out if you've already been eaten before during the day.
Any feedback and/or suggestions you can give are greatly appreciated, it'...
2019-10-10 07:41:48 +0000 UTC View PostWork on the new system for prey scenes is coming along very well, but unfortunately I don't have a demo for you yet. It should be ready soon though! At the moment the technical side of things is about 95% done and functioning the way I want, the main holdup on the demo is actually writing because right now its all just horribly formatted debug text.
It's kind of crazy how much more complex than the old system it is, but I'm very happy with it and can't wait to fully implement it into th...
2019-10-05 05:12:16 +0000 UTC View PostWell, you've finally gone and done it. Even with the Senior votes added in Scenes 2 and 5 are exactly even- we have our first tie. And just in time for the month where we're back to only one scene getting in :P . I was hoping to never actually be in this position, but as stated in the guidelines the deciding vote will be cast by me. So the winner for this month is... Scene 5!
My reasoning for this is purely logistical and not based on my preference for either scene. Sce...
2019-10-01 06:16:30 +0000 UTC View PostA few people requested an update on how the recode is coming, and I think it's a very good idea to keep you guys in the loop instead of just waiting until the demo is ready! It's a good time for it too, because I just crossed the first big hurdle!
As of yesterday, I completed "Phase 1" of the recode, which was to 'master' SugarCube, the new story format. Now, I wouldn't actually consider myself a master, but what I mean by that is that I have a strong enough grip on it to not need to ke...

2019-09-23 21:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostI've mentioned the possibility a few times, but I've officially made my decision: I'm going to recode the game to use a different Twine format before moving on to Day 3. This will take some time, though I don't know exactly how long, but I think it will be a great benefit to the story moving forward. SugarCube(the format I'm switching to) is much closer to being an actual programming language than Harlowe(the format the game is currently in), and as a result I'll have a lot more freedom behin...

That means there's a whole little revenge arc planned against Alice's cronies over the course of the week between this and the scene from June! The runner up this month is Scene 5! So when we reach the weekend, you can look forward to meeting someone a bit too excited about your status as an MVA student.

And here it is, hopefully the last dev build for Day 2! I'm slightly behind on that promise from last time, two of the scenes ended up being more complex than I'd hoped so I didn't have time to do the scene where you hang out with Leah, but I'm still reasonably confident I can get that and Matilda's route done in two weeks time. This build features:
Happy belated Vore Day! I hope you're ready for... a dev build that contains no additional vore content. If I'd been paying attention to the dates I would have prioritized the remaining vore scenes, my bad! But, this dev build hit a big milestone: For the first time you can reach the actual end of Day 2! Of course, this is because only 1/3 possible branches in the afternoon/evening exists right now, but it's still a big moment.
I know I ...
2019-08-09 21:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostWe nearly had our first tie this month, but, thanks to the senior votes, Scene 4 just barely pulled ahead to take the top spot! Don't worry though, as the runner up Scene 3 will also be implemented! That means you can look forward to a dorm raid on Tuesday, and a heated argument between friends on Wednesday.
Voting for August will begin on the 26th!

August is nearly here, and I'm actually feeling pretty confident in the release estimate for the end of Day 2 I gave!

We're closing in on the end!

I'm writing scenes that involve Mina and the weird double hairline she's got going on in the current model I have for her was really starting to bother me, so I decided to update it. I was struggling to get the long hair how I wanted without having the same problem and realized she looks pretty good having it shorter instead. Then I made a long hair style I was happy with right after that and now I can't decide, so I thought I'd throw it out t...

"Hey you can finally see Leah in the banner because Patreon updated it's layout" edition. We're back in business! After one last hiccup last week, I think I'm finally back on track. This update has almost everything through lunch finished, including the rest of that scene with Maeve finally and the remaining lunch scenes(although one of them isn't finished, hence the almost).
This one probably would have been a bigger upda...
2019-07-12 21:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe winning scene for June was Scene 1! And just a single vote shy, Scene 2 takes the runner up spot to also be implemented!
Going forward, the changes that I tested out in this poll will be sticking around. I think the senior vote worked well, although it didn't change the outcome at all on this one(their votes were an even split between the top three scenes), and people seemed very excited about changing it to two scenes getting in, so both are ...

I'm sorry to say that this is another very light update. The situation I mentioned that impeded the previous build did not improve as quickly as I'd hoped and I've really only gotten the chance to get back to writing these last few days. Come to think of it, the lunch scenes were where I hit the biggest hang up writing the first day as well, maybe they're just cursed! Added in this update is the rest of Zoey's scene(which actually has th...
