Normally I'd rush a build out but between work and Halloween I missed the mark. Sorry guys. Expect another update very soon with the new build attached. Until then I hope everyone had a good Halloween!
2020-11-01 06:48:39 +0000 UTC View PostWe're still a week out from the end of the month but looking at the stack of work piling up on my plate I don't see any realistic way of having something polished to you guys by the end of next weekend. The next patch (0.19) will include a new Jun story segment and fully updates all of Jun's conversations during the beginning of the game with the relationship system.
For any who may have forgotten the Relationship System will allow you to start building a reputation with each love...

We are hard at work on the next update which should be a very interesting one. First, all of Jun's old conversations choices are going to be updated with Relationship System events so you will be able to see how much Jun likes or dislikes your replies. Second, we are adding a new story section that will be the first in Jun's storyline. And finally, we're planning to add a new unaware encounter with Jun that will begin directly after the story section.
Ideally, we can get all of th...
2020-10-06 23:03:15 +0000 UTC View PostHi All,
This patch took so long to get together that it didn't get all the polish I wanted to add. Expect a future version of this that includes more audio and a few screen effects. For now enjoy the last big Cassie update before Jun takes center stage!

2020-08-23 22:50:29 +0000 UTC View PostSo what was originally going to be a minor sidestory ended up being a 100+ render adventure through Cassie's boobs. Suffice to say that the time it will take to add that much content is well outside of what we can accomplish with a 'quick' two week patch. Currently the renders are 95% complete and OHH has already started on the story. On my side I've continued to find and fix bugs to bring the current state of the game back up to the polish we had in February of this year.
So, wha...

2020-07-27 06:20:32 +0000 UTC View PostOur upcoming build is going to be focused on a bunch of 'side pieces' that will connect the stories for the opening part of the game so that you can go from doing Becka's encounters to Cassie's or Cassie's to Becka's (etc.) without needing to reset your save. The entire beginning part of the game is supposed to be about exploration so essentially we're going to make it possible to actually explore. The first batch of scenes to make this happen will include a few dozen new renders. Also in the...
2020-07-21 02:43:38 +0000 UTC View PostHi All,
We spent a long time this last weekend refining the plot for each character/branch in the game. I won't say that what we made is comprehensive- but its close. For instance the story for Layla will play out over 9 additional scenes and encounters and lead to 3 distinct endings. The story for Jun will play out over 14 more scenes and encounters and lead to 5 endings, 2 of which are minor variants of other endings. The amount of content for any given giantess could change based on ...
2020-07-13 21:20:37 +0000 UTC View PostOne of the biggest problems newer players are facing is a lack of understanding on how to beat certain encounters. Part of that can be attributed to less-than-perfect design and some of it is simply because some players are better at recognizing clues/patterns than others. Regardless, because there are quite a few people who simply want to know how to win over the next few weeks I'll be working on a strategy guide that can be shared and updated as the game progresses.
The second m...
2020-06-28 03:08:20 +0000 UTC View PostThanks to everyone for the bug reports. I believe this build will take care of most if not all of the 'blocking' bugs. The path from Cassie to Layla has been tested multiple times and everything appears to be working so you may now get the full Layla story cutscene.
Enjoy!

2020-06-21 05:44:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe purpose of the relationship system is to give everyone a chance to build relationships over the course of the game. Each giantess will have multiple endings and with 4 giantesses to choose from that means there could be as many as a dozen different endings to Dwindling Away. But relationship choices don't just affect how the game ends, they affect how the story plays out. The upcoming Layla CYOA/Visual Novel segment is an example of the kind of choices and outcomes you'll be faced with. W...
2020-06-16 08:46:39 +0000 UTC View PostYeesh, I really wanted to post an updated game version but here I am making another update about an upcoming update. The good news is: there isn't any bad news. Nothing is preventing the build from happening its just a frickin' boatload of new content that is taking longer than expected to complete. Because the new content is relatively simple I don't think there is a great need for testing. What you'll end up getting is a very 'raw' build, but that doesn't mean it will have the issues that C...
2020-06-16 08:21:22 +0000 UTC View PostHi All,
Checking in to let everyone know we're making great progress on the new build and it should be ready this week. OHH and I also talked and agreed to move up the polish pass by a month so June/July are going to be focused on refining the game including adding a few small scenes to various areas of the game map. This means when you interact with certain objects it will trigger (typically short) cut scenes with one or more of the giantesses. This should help flesh out this ear...
2020-06-09 07:07:34 +0000 UTC View PostHi All,
I wanted to drop a quick message here to share my current thoughts on DA's development. The build quality has obviously suffered over the last couple of releases and I do apologize for that but the bugs *will* be fixed in future builds. One of the biggest challenges of having a game 'released' in an alpha state, even a game using the relatively simple architecture of RPGMaker, is that its difficult to build something that is going to both A) work well, and B) have flexibility fo...
2020-05-31 06:16:59 +0000 UTC View Post
The upcoming update will include roughly ~100 new renders! The story this time will be focused around the new character Layla and is done with a visual novel style encounter instead of the 'combat' oriented encounters of the previous releases. This is because we wanted the Layla storyline to be a more casual gameplay route and it gives us a great opportunity to test an alpha version of the relationship system.
That said, due to the sheer size of this update its likely going to be ...

This build includes an official (version 1) debug mode that will most likely be expanded on as development continues. This will eventually be removed from the game but in the mean time it will all you to skip all of the Jun content at the start of the game as well as pick a status you want with Jun (e.g. win or loss). I have some plans for adding the ability to modify your relationship score via this menu so that people can see different branches to the relationship system as that gets added ...
2020-05-18 02:02:29 +0000 UTC View PostHi All,
After some discussion with OHH and some work over this weekend I decided to officially add a debug command to the build. This will exist for *most* future builds to give those of you who are closely folllowing development the option to bypass the entirety of the Jun content at the beginning of the game. This will allow you to immediately jump into the Becka, Cassie, and (coming soon) Layla storylines.
I have some more testing planned to work out the issues that have been...

2020-05-01 20:29:58 +0000 UTC View PostHello again. We've been getting a ton of work done on the latest release over the last week but between adding new content and fixing bugs its taking a little longer than originally anticipated. That said, once this next release goes out expect communication and updates to pick up again as things start to normalize a bit (for me at least). Also, I (vman2000) am the reason this release is late- OHH has had an incredible turn around time for everything I've asked for so you can blame the delays...

OHH and I have been talking about how to handle cases when we're not able to put out a new build.

OHH and I are hard at work on the next update but its not quite ready. Rather than rush it we're going to make sure everything is good to go which means it maybe be a few more days (up to a week, depending on testing) before we're ready to release!

OHH and I are hard at work on adding a Cassie story segment and encounter to the game. We're making great progress and as mentioned in discord this is a very large update that may require longer than the end of the month to finish.
