Potential Circus Theme

A theme I've been working on that I'm not 100% sure that I want as the circus theme just quite yet. Something seems off about it that I can't quite place. Maybe I get so used to using Synths that things sound weird without it.

First look at the circus

The circus in ascot is a constant feature in an effort to get people out the house and onto the streets. Seems like the audience isn't very lively though.

New magic store firstlook

Much different to the one in Leeswater! But this one seems a lot more tranquil and dojo like!

The Goo Factory

Yummy tasty gooey marshmellows! Marshmill was a county that grew rich on these products! Whether you were 6 inches or 6 skyscrapers tall there was something for everyone to snack on!

This area is still under construction and a lot of thought is going into exactly how this will work! I have two potential options. Make it a dungeon where you fight goo and marshmellow monsters. 

Or have it as more of a maze type deal where you just have to find your way through and have it there for a...

Laboratory first look!

Whatever could this place mean? And what does that large hatch lead to???

A new face

New retale tunes to sooth the retail worker in you

A new worker!

Any patrons have some nice names I could use for this character?

She likes her TV and sports, mainly hockey. Loves snacking and doesn't let her larger than life appearance get her down! 

Beep beep beep!

More escalators! Other news: Day 1 of mias store is mostly done! Mia talks you through how things are done in HER store.

Library!

This is where a lot of the lore will be stored for previous events from Retale 2, most of the history and belief systems I'm hoping to introduce here. 

I wonder if people would prefer to have this as a hub of information they can access immediately, or perhaps if they have to find books to unlock the lore as a little something to do? Here have a little lore from a Bible book in Retale universe where a famous furry Connor Wyatt documents how he understands the Gossamer Annal.

Advertising in the new store!

Taste and feel is a similar advertisement. Also very fast escalator, but I assure you it actually runs at the same speed as the player. 

Housing estate show off

This place will house most of the characters of Retale, it isn't entirely plausible that they all live within the same housing estate really, but it'd just be useful to have a hub to meet most of your friends!

This place needs a clearout

So in the game, there is a load of roads that connect each town. I want to have stuff you can do there, but there is a cozy little old shop there that will be reminiscent of small shops that might be feeling the effects of economic crisis more than big chains.

Gym insides

Will have minigames and fun preds! 

Escalator animations

...Well, more like 'cleverly' done parallax backgrounds.  The direction of the escalator changes due to how the parallax backgrounds follow player movement. I think this is a nice trade off from static images of escalators. Expect more updates soon!

The first proof of concept of a new store

So in chapter 2 there'll be a large change of scenery to work, 2 floors and some different layouts of where everything is. But you'll be able to transfer your previous skills from the old store into the new one! Currently thinking and developing new challenges for the new store and what the top floor can be used for! 

A nice green landscape

A more empty landscape, but here we see Mias store, a much grander more flashy looking store. A garden centre up above it, with a small magic shop on the left, and your standard bus centre on the right with a cave next to it.

This one looks fairly empty, but I also just wanted to mention that due to how many areas there were in the first area in chapter 1, things quickly got complex due to how much was going on within that one map. So for future a lot of areas are going to look more...

On the olld dusty roaddddd

So this is going to be a large motorway that sort of connects most areas together without you having to pay. Here in this screenshot also it shows you with the ability to get in and out of your car and leave it in a certain place that you want. If you return to this map in future, the car will still be in that spot. So you won't have to track all the way back for your car again.

Ascot revisited

Here in this picture, we've kept Mayor Iris' office, slime plant, and tower, circus and mansion. But we've added a petrol station, train, library and game shop.

BROOM!

Thanks to Stormy for car sprite! This'll be used to explore some of the world at greater paces :)

Okay Sym. So Why am I still paying you?

OKAY! So!

Chapter 1 is out, and Chapter 2 is going to start work soon! What can you expect from the new Chapter?

NEW Areas, MORE Main story and MORE vore. There were a couple of things I really wanted to put into the game on chapter 1 but had to draw a line in the sand somewhere otherwise it'd never come out.

There was more to do with the car that you get from shuffle that allows you to travel. (Although I might add bus travel to those areas too, as I think a lot of people are u...

Chapter 1 Is Out Now!

Night time tunes

Ended up being something that reminded me a bit of the wolf among us

Sad

Waiting in the rain for release day on Friday :( come on hurry up!

Retale 2 Trailer

In case people didn't see in our Discord group! Special thanks to Nova for making and editing this video! 

Retale 2: Managers Call Chapter 1 Releases 2 weeks today!

Retale is releasing very soon, and its jam packed full of bits to see and do and what I've tried to create and show to you is that I have really improved over Retale 1.

There's the main story, of which that when you get to the end you'll be able to continuously carry on and do any challenges or vore you might want to do. There's minigames, challenges, and endless challenges via the battling system.

There's jokes and I've started putting some hidden lore about the world around Retale as ...

Security Office Track

Fastfood Song

A new look

Avas office now has a window with scrolling clouds and a much better looking city to view

Retale 2 release date moved

23rd  Nov

When I chose 25th I didn't think about what day it fell on, I'll be moving it forwards to 23rd, so its actually coming out a little earlier.

Sorry about the confusion! Would you guys like anything to happen on the build up to the release? Maybe we could do another request stream which is extra long like last time ?

Main Menu Update

Originally we had a different aesthetic for the item menu, now the clean and minimal look extends to the item menu as well as the main menu.
