Third Girl Poll

As we announced before, the second girl has already been chosen for story reasons, and you'll begin to interact with her in v0.03, coming January.  But we could go in one of two directions for the third girl, so we're leaving that decision up to you, our loyal patrons.  And don't worry: past a certain upcoming story point, any girl becomes fair game for these polls, and there's even the possibility of working on multiple at once!

Park After Dark v0.02x Bugfix

NOTE: this bugfix only applies to the Android version.  The bug that was fixed does not exist in the PC version.

Typically we will not release a bugfix version of Park After Dark, instead rolling any changes into the next version that releases.  But because this bug stops you from being able to save your progress, we agreed to release it as soon as possible.

10-23-20 Progress Update

Happy Friday!  The whole team made a lot of good progress this week, and the remaining writing and artwork have both been cut in half!  We have actually started internal testing, and I think next post we'll be able to officially announce the v0.02 release date!

I know, sorry for the tease.  Hopefully this will make up for it.  This is an image of the reworked ballroom background.  One of our Patreon goals is actually to be able to replace all th...

10-19-20 Progress Update

Happy Monday, and welcome to all of our new patrons!

The further we get into the development of this update, the harder it's becoming to estimate where we are.  We keep coming up with brand new ideas, and with each one we need to decide what to prioritize and what to save for later.

All of the programming for the new game mechanic is complete.

We have three more scenes to write.

Art is the hardest part to talk about, because on paper there are less new ...

10-14-20 Progress Update

Since the last update, we have been concentrating on writing new scenes.  Each one goes over a few editing passes before it is put into the game.  In the future, we'd like to share a first draft with you here so you can compare it with the final version, but doing that now would just be a major spoiler for the next update!

And speaking of spoilers, I hope this is not too big of one: since the next public build releases tonight, we wanted to give you patrons something to be exc...

10-9-20 Progress Update

This week, we finished adding connect-the-dots drawings, an outfit change station for MC (what, you thought he'd let the girls have all the fun?), and made some interface tweaks.  Cindy now has too many interaction options to fit in the default layout, so we needed to come up with something new that is both aesthetic and functional.  And don't worry, our artist is still hard at work behind the scenes!

Now, the v0.01 public release drops next week, which means our patrons have ...

10-3-20 Progress Update

We have some big news to share with you today!

One of the most-requested features has been an "Advance Time" button, to quickly skip to the next time you can visit Cindy again.  While considering this, we took a closer look at the time mechanic in general, and determined that it wasn't serving its intended purpose.  So, for v0.02, we've simplified to just "day" and "night" times, with the clock button you see above used to toggle between them.  In the very early game, the...

9-29-20 Progress Update

Everything is still progressing nicely.  We have the whole story for v0.02 planned out, but we did it in such a way that we can end in a few different places, depending on how quickly the artwork gets done.  A lot of other small tasks are getting accomplished in the meantime, such as the code and artwork for a brand new location you can visit!  Without giving too much away, events will be set in motion in this update that cause attractions to start breaking down and closing, an...

9-24-20 Progress Update

This week, I added more achievements to the game.  If you managed to get the first two in v0.01, you know that our artist did a fantastic job with two completely original pieces that you can view as a reward for unlocking them.  Unfortunately, that won't always be practical, so sometimes the reward will be a piece of concept art, like the one you see above.  This was a first pass at the massage scene, but the obvious problem is that it's a vertical picture for a horizontal game...

9-20-20 Progress Update

Our team is already hard at work on v0.02!  We're still trying to nail down exactly which new scenes and/or characters will be added to advance the main story, so you could say that right now we're working on the "bonus content": things like achievements, new drawables, and updating old scenes with a brand new costume for Cindy!  This will be the last one you can unlock in her main story, and in fact finishing her story content is our main goal for this build.  That's right, 2020-09-20 19:02:29 +0000 UTC View Post

v0.01b just came out this morning, but we've already got some more news for you!

Public Changelog

Starting now, we're making the changelog publicly available!  This means that you'll always be able to see the amount and type of content that's in the game...in broad strokes, anyway.  The choice to make it public is for those of you who are on the fence about pledging, so you can see all the great new content that's already avai...

8-24-20 Progress Update

Everything is still going well on the development side!

We now have 11/13 of the new interactions written.

We have artwork for 2/3 of the main h-scenes done.

I make sure to distinguish "main h-scenes" because there are a few other bonus images that we would like to include, but we do not feel that they are worth holding the build for.  So they might not make it into the alpha or beta builds, but definitely will for the public release.

What does all of t...

8-14-20 Progress Update

Today truly is just a "progress update".  The whole team has been hard at work cranking out content, but since I don't want to spoil anything let's just leave it at that.

We have 8/13 of the new interactions written.

We have artwork for 1/3 of the main h-scenes done.

Other odds and ends (like new minigame drawings, backgrounds, the new outfits, and custom code) are all complete!

Enjoy the game!

8-4-20 Progress Update

Today's art preview showcases one of Cindy's two new outfits.  This one is the harder of the two to unlock, but I'm sure you'll agree that it's worth it.  I mean, can you imagine what it looks like from the front?

When we introduce a new outfit into the game, we try to make sure that we include it in all the character's previous scenes from the very beginning, which is why you should recognize this dance pose already.  There are only a few specific exceptions to this, whe...

No pictures this time, sorry.  I hope this makes up for it: the spoiler-free content list for Park After Dark v0.01!

• 2 new attractions to draw!
• A progress screen to track your...progress!

7-24-20 Progress Update

Welcome to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique!  You'll be able to visit the shop to buy new outfits for yourself and for the girls, which will often be necessary to advance their stories.  Whenever you select an outfit for purchase, it will replace the rightmost dress and show its price and other details on the sign above.  Outfits were always going to be a huge part of Park After Dark, and this is the first step to making that happen!

Because of this, I don't feel tha...

7-19-20 Progress Update

We're already hard at work on the next update, from drawing and writing new scenes to coding new gameplay features.  While the core of the game is MC's interactions with the girls, we're also trying to flesh-out the experience as much as possible, and that includes the park-building aspect.  Not all attractions will be able to be visited over the course of the game, but the more you have, the more money you'll make, which will have a use starting in this next update!  There's a...

Launch F.A.Q.

Wow, within 24 hours of launching Park After Dark, we've already got 4 awesome patrons and tons of other support around the interwebs!  (Plus, my reddit karma doubled overnight, which is even cooler!)

I'm going to take this time to answer some of the questions and concerns that have already come up:

Q. How often will builds be released?
A. Right now we are aiming for builds every month and a half.  Unfortunately artwork of this excellent quality takes time! 2020-07-16 23:05:53 +0000 UTC View Post
