Early Access for September Version!

Hey friends! It's time for early access :) Thanks for your patience and support, it's cool to see that you guys are along for the ride here with Kiera! <3

I was just bug testing the poopoo out of this, and... there's still a lot of work to do!! SO you're definitely gonna run into some bugs & unfinished stuff. If you haven't tried out an early access version of BBMKR before, be warned that there's a lot of missing bits and weirdness to be expected! If you'd like to help with the September release by reporting bugs, feel absolutely free, but don't feel any pressure if you don't want to! I'll do my best to put all the missing pieces in place for September :)

If you're not sure what to check out, here are some things that have been worked on! (spoilers!)

-Multiple poops: This works for Kiera in her DIAPER + overalls and in her dress so far. Probably gets buggy after the 2nd poop, still work to be done on this! Multiple poops aren't implemented for pull-ups or panties yet.

-Kiera can have "unaware" potty warnings and accidents now. She'll start to get these if she has low potty training, or if she's recently been nursed :)

-Speaking of nursing, Miss Laura has a new skill! ! I've removed the restrictions on it so that you can check it out easily and use it at anytime, but normally Kiera will have to reach Relationship lvl 2 with Miss Laura first.

-T-shirt + diaper outfit: I was just testing this and there are some visual bugs to fix, and more animations to make.. But Kiera can have some accidents in this outfit now (a pee and a poop so far)!

-Central's quest: You can get a bit further and meet a new character.. and get a peek at a new skill for Kiera!

-Cassidy has a new skill called Change! Try it out when Kiera is in diapers

-SHORT intro to the boys club. Full update will have more! If you're not sure how to find it, try wandering around after becoming a Princess

-Item progression on the Babbler! Kiera can equip/unequip it at will once it's unlocked.. and saving *should* account for items now :)

-Hide and seek: Fixed & added some variable events

-Mini RPG: Get into the Princess Dress, bring Cassidy into your party, take the Scaredy trait, and run the Mini RPG. Try letting Kiera have multiple messes during one Adventure!

-Probably some other stuff I'm forgetting ahhhh!!

As an aside.. I do kinda feel like the amount of spritework I need to do for each scene is getting to be too much. I'm debating whether I should dial back on the number of outfits and pants-conditions.. Or whether I can come up with a smarter way of registering sprites on the screen, where I don't have to remake them for every outfit/condition.. Or just keep going with it and aim to catch up with sprites eventually. I just find it's taking so much time that could be spent on more events and plot and other fun stuff!!

Anyway, hope you have some fun with it & excited to see your feedback!

End of July Progress Report

Hello my friends! Thanks so much for being here- your support is super appreciated! And thank you for your patience with the delay this time around. We're getting very close to the next update, and I can't wait to share it with you :)

For those of you with early access, you can expect that to be available August 15, while the full update will be available September 1.

SO as for progress, I've mostly continued working on things that I've already talked about.. I'm really hoping to wrap a bunch of things up so that they're playable and bug-free for when the update comes out! So rather than a progress report, I thought I'd share a summary of the biggest additions you can expect to see in the September 1 updoot:

1. Kiera can have multiple messes when wearing a diaper! There are 2 levels of messiness, with distinct sprites for each level.

2. Depending on Kiera's potty training level, she may not notice that she has to go potty- and may not even notice when she's had an accident! This will add some fun variability to potty scenes :)

3. Potty dances and accidents in Kiera's t-shirt + diaper outfit (the one she's put into if she leaks)!

4. Some new custom sound effects provided by super talented voice people!

5. A breastfeeding skill for Miss Laura (stoked about this one)!

6. A diaper change skill for Cassidy!

7. Plot progression for the Princess Adventures and Playpen Little Adventures!

8. Princess Kiera can now meet the Boys' Club, and get involved in their plot for world domination!

9. Some fixes and additions to the Hide and Seek event!

10. Enhanced pacifier sucking / item interaction!

11. A mysterious new character!

Hopefully those things sound fun! Let me know if there's anything you're particularly excited about, I'd love to focus on stuff you wanna see! Chat with ya soon <3

Mid-July Progress Report

Greetings, everyone! I hope you've had a great month so far :)

BULLETIN!! In case you weren't aware, I have pushed back early access and the next update by 1 month. So stay tuned for August 15 for early access, and September 1st for the full update. Sorry for the delay, it's been a super busy time for me lately, and I want to make sure the update is worth it!

Now here's a breakdown of what I've been up to thus far in July:

CENTRAL & PRIME MINISTER STEPH'S ADVENTURES. The poll this month was super close!! I initially started working a bunch on Steph's adventures, thinking she had won.. and then Central jumped ahead, so I swapped focus to hers.. And eventually just figured, why not work on both! I've had fun putting together some sleuthing scenes for Kiera as she uncovers more about the daycare.. and runs into some embarrassing situations along the way! (Highchair and lap shenanigans, wheeee~)

DETECTIVE MODE. I don't think I'll have time to put this together in time for the update, but a related idea I've started to develop is to have Kiera go into DETECTIVE Mode when she's hunting down clues around the daycare (kinda like the very unfinished Pretend skill). I can think of ways for both a Distracted *AND* a Focused detective to forget about her need to go potty if she gets really invested in her sleuthing.. so hopefully Kiera's still paying attention to the hints happening in her pants, too! :P

UNAWARE ACCIDENTS. There's a lot of dialogue/animations to put together for this type of accident! Some new animations have been finished, in which Kiera has no clue that she just tinkled or dookied herself, though it would be quite obvious to anyone around. Buuuut there's no way Kiera would become Little enough to *actually* have an accident like that!! ...Right? ;)

ACCIDENT RANDOMIZATION. In the next update, Kiera's potty needs will no longer always go "pee" -> "pee" -> "poop." Rather, she'll have a randomized chance to go #1 or #2. I haven't totally settled on the ratio yet.. should I stick with 1/3 chance to poop? Let me know if you have an opinion about that, interested in your feedback!

NOPANTS ACCIDENTS. I've worked more on animations for Kiera's accidents when wearing her t-shirt & diaper! Since you can see her diaper with this outfit, you'll be able to watching her go through 2 visual stages of wetness (damp/wet vs. soaked), each of which also needs to pair with 2 visual stages of messiness. So yeah, lots of sprites to make there!

That's all I have to talk about for now! Stay tuned for a story before the end of the month, and as always I'd love to hear any thoughts you have about this. Much love & chat soon!

Monthly Focus Poll: JULY

What's up, everybody! It's time for the July poll :)

With the past few polls, you've already helped determine what potty-related stuff to focus on for this update (ie, accidents in Kiera's t-shirt & diaper outfit, allowing multiple messes, "zero-potty-training" accidents, etc!). So I've got my work cut out already there!

So I thought this time around we could look into which of the Main Adventure plots you'd be most interested in seeing develop!

Here are the basic rundowns of each path.. Warning that there are some minor spoilers!

Central's Adventures: Central wants Kiera to investigate the mysterious hallway door.. Strange sounds seem to come from it, odd buzzings and whirrings.. But can Kiera even get close enough to check it out? There's someone vigilantly sitting guard, preventing her entry.. Someone who's more than happy to feed her a bottle, burp her, and pat her bum, and send her on her way out of the hallway, none the wiser. She'll have to find a way to get past.. but she may be embarrassed to find out what the way is!

Don Don's Adventures: Don Don needs Kiera's help to re-establish his mini mafia network. Helping Littles take "naps," rescuing hostage teddy bears.. It's dirty work, but somebody's gotta do it. Just be careful Kiera doesn't go too deep, or she may find herself framed for "accidents" she never caused! Doing hard time in the playpen, stuck in double diapers.. well, it's hard to recover from that!

Prime Minister Steph's Adventures: The Little politician has tasked Kiera with finding out what happened to the last Agent who worked with Central (which for some reason Central doesn't seem to want to talk about). Kiera may find herself acting like a baby, sitting in high chairs and eating mushy food in order to retrace the unfortunate Little's footsteps.. I sure hope there's no long-lasting effects!

The Princess Adventures: Establishing yourself as a Royal Princess requires a certain level of savoir faire.. and thus, Kiera's first task as an official Princess will be to perform Show & Tell in front of the whole daycare! Hopefully she manages to be a brave Princess, rather than a shy scaredy-cat.. (and it may be a good idea for her to go potty beforehand, either way)!

The Boys' Club Adventures: The Boys' Club members have had enough of the Princesses' iron-fisted rule over the daycare. Will Kiera join them in the revolution, take the Princesses' side and fight them, or find a way to unite the two factions against a greater foe? Perhaps Kiera staging some public accidents as a Princess can help sully their name.. or maybe she can find a way to get the other girls to have accidents.. or is it the Boys' Club themselves who should be brought down a peg or two?

I'm excited to see what ya think! :)

End of June Progress Report

Salutations, contemporaries! Happy July to you! :D Thanks so much for being here and supporting the project, the continued interest you're showing for BBMKR is super super awesome and appreciated! <3

First off a reminder that I have pushed the next update back to SEPTEMBER 1, so there will not be early access this month (early access will be available ~August 15 instead). The good news is that despite the delay I've been making lots of progress, so there will be plenty to look forward to! I will also have a couple stories about "end-game Kiera" to share with you over the next couple months :)

Anywhoozles, here's what I've been up to lately!

POTTY STUFFS. I have been focusing on Kiera's "unaware" desperation events and accidents, including her having a full accident without realizing! (Potentially even leaking without noticing, if she's a REAL big baby!~) I'm having some fun writing interactions where an NPC recognizes that she's had an accident, but she herself doesn't! ^^ Also started adding more ABDL reactions to accidents / events, where she's not so upset (happy, even!) about having an uh-oh. (Stuff like being able to sit down when messy~)

I'm also making progress on allowing multiple poops in the same padding! (See pics of unaware poop & 2nd poop)

PACIFIER/BABBLER. Kiera can now equip/unequip her paci- uhhhh- "Babbler" after finishing the Pacifier quest, using the Items menu. Sooooo if you think she's cuter with a soother between her lips, you'll have more luck with that now! I'll be adding some unique dialogue for interactions where NPCs take note of what she's suckling on. (See pics- and please understand that the Babbler is for research/recon purposes, NOT because Kiera secretly likes sucking on it..!!)

NPC SKILLS. Miss Laura's Nursing skill and Cassidy's Change skill are almost finished! These will 100% be available come September. Suuuuper excited to share these new skills with you, I think they'll be fun to try out in random spots around the daycare :D

I've made some progress with Billie's Tummy Poke skill (which is the messy version of "Tickle".. pushing your dolly's tummy has certain effects, y'know..), and another skill for Cassidy called "Distract." With Distract, Cassidy can distract Kiera from any current need to go potty, so that she forgets she has to go! This will team nicely with the new "unaware" potty warnings :P

BOYS CLUB. I have been spicing up the intro event to the Boys Club, and making new sprites to fill out the new rooms with various objects. I'm looking forward to sharing this new part of the game with you! (See pic for a small teaser.. Will Kiera join forces with the Boys' Club to take down their rivals, or declare them to be enemas of the state..?)

MAP-DEPENDENT INTERACTIONS. I've been adding some custom dialogue for skills / events happening on certain maps! I think it would be fun to have NPCs react to what Kiera's up to, without having to directly interact with them sometimes. I probably won't go too crazy with this though, so that random events aren't popping up incessantly.

HIDE AND SEEK. I worked a bit on playing Hide and Seek when Kiera is an ABDL, which will allow her to be a bit sillier in her attempts at being a Seeker extraordinaire!

So yarp, that's about what I've been up to lately! As always, let me know if you have any thoughts or ideas to share, I'd love to hear what you think ^^ Stay cool & chat soon!

Mid-June Progress Report / September = Next Update

Hello cool people! It's good to see you again :)

FIRST THING'S FIRST!! I think I will be pushing the next update to September 1, rather than August 1. Summer is a very busy time for me (out of town lots of weekends), and combined with pouring a bunch of time into restructuring the game's potty system, I don't think I'll have as much new playable content ready for August 1 as I would like. This means that early access will be delayed until mid-August as well (so if you're most interested in early access, you may want to skip supporting in July!). Sorry for the disappointing news; I've done my best to keep to the 4-month schedule so far, but I think the extra month will be needed this time around. I'll have a BBMKR-based story or two to share with you guys in the meantime, so hopefully that will help bridge the gap a lil bit.

Now, onto this month's progress so far!

MISS LAURA. THIS has been a long time coming.. Miss Laura's ultimate ability is finally ready!! You'll be able to use her "Nurse" skill in the next update (much to Kiera's embarrassment)! See pic for a lil foreshadowing pic of Kiera being sat in Miss Laura's lap.. ;) I have been implementing accidents while nursing, as well as a Training event for when she potties herself in Momm- I mean, Miss Laura's lap! ^^

POTTY SYSTEM. The poll this month showed that you guys really wanna see Kiera with zero potty training! I've been adding more potty "warnings" and accidents for when the silly girl doesn't quite catch on to what's happening. They are turning out pretty cute so far! :D I have also been fixing some bugs with the potty system (noticed a number of issues when Kiera is in pull-ups, so fixed those!) Aaaaaand been spending lots of time updating the potty system to work with new spritesheets (big time sink currently, but will save time in the long run!)

CASSIDY. I've made progress with more Cassidy-based events! In particular, having her in your party when playing Hide and Seek, and her new skill, called "Change." It's a pretty vague name for a skill, I wonder what she can do with that..? (See related pic)

HIDE AND SEEK. I've been revamping Hide and Seek! If Kiera fails to find anyone during Hide and Seek, she'll get a Training point in "Silly Seeker," which increases her chance for failure when trying to find the hiders (see pic). If she gets enough points in that Training, well.. You'd better bring a babysitter along to help her find the other Littles! I am also adding some variation to the events based on traits (focusing on Crybaby at the moment). There were also a number of bugs to stamp out with this, so I fixed some of those.

BOYS' CLUB. I'm really enjoying building the dynamic / rivalry between the Boys' and Girls' clubs! Kiera's willingness to be a Princess will affect how she reacts to the Boys- she may prove to be an unexpected ally to them, or their greatest nemesis!

PLAYPEN PLOTS. I've made progress with these, so that you and Kiera will be able to unravel the mysteries of the daycare a bit further! (Or will there just be more questions..? Who knows!)

STORIES. I am getting close to finishing two end-game short stories that describe Kiera's new life after being baby-made. These vignettes will regale Kiera's future if she ends up as a Bratty Princess. I am planning to share one in July and the other in August!

So that's what I have to report for now! Let me know if you have any thoughts or ideas to share, I'd love to hear them! Thanks & chat again soon :)

Monthly Focus Poll: JUNE

HELLO! For this month's poll, let's delve into which level of potty training you guys are most interested in!

My long term goal with the potty system in BBMKR is that Kiera will have varying degrees of potty training based on her potty training stat.

This means that, when she has high potty training, she'll be better at noticing when she has to go and holding it. Whereas if her potty training is low, she'll have less time to make it to the potty after getting a warning.. and may not even notice she has to go at all!

But before that's completely implemented, I'll have to add things in one at a time! So I'm wondering.. Which level of potty training are you most interested in seeing more of first?

End of May Progress Report

Hey everyone! A most happy and sunny June to you all, and a big thank you from Kiera and I for being here!! <3 Your support means so much to us, and we're getting excited to share the next update with you. We're already halfway there, woohoo!

Here's how development went for the last 2 weeks of May:

PRINCESS STUFF: May was a month of Princessy goodness!! I have continued working on several "Proclaim" events and Kiera's first few Princess adventures. In the update, Kiera will be able to Proclaim herself as Princess of the Playpen, the Naproom, the Potty room, and/or the Sandbox... Though to rule certain areas, she'll have to find a way to oust the current despot first! (See pic) This has been a big focus lately, so I'm looking forward to sharing more with you in the update :)

SPRITES: I have been putting together sprites for activities like the going down the slide and playing with playdoh, while wearing either of Kiera's alternative outfits (dress or no pants). Once this is all in place, our intrepid hero will be able to crinkle around the daycare and play with everything, no matter what outfit she's in! (See pic of Playdoh Princess)

POTTY/DESPERATION SCENES: I have continued working on having variable desperation scenes based on Kiera's potty training level (ie. she may or may not notice she has to go, depending on potty training.. and an oblivious Kiera will have some cute alternate potty dances, where she clearly isn't quite aware of what's happening! ...See pic of oblivious Kiera!)

PARTY MEMBERS: I've been adding some custom dialogue to desperation/accident scenes based on Kiera's current party member. I think it'll add some extra fun to have Miss Laura, Cassidy, and Billie make comments on Kiera's potty dances & accidents!

NEW SKILLS: I have been working on some new skills! One of them that I mentioned last time is "Crawl.." you may be able to figure out what Kiera can do with that one :P Also working on a Crybaby-based skill, but not sure what to call it yet.. Stay tuned for that!

NEW CHARACTER: I've made more progress with the new character who was hinted at in the last progress report.. Did you take a guess at who it might be? Check out the attached picture to see! Kiera will have to learn some new "skills" to find her way past this ever-alert guard who's keeping her from reaching the top secret door!

So yeah, those were my main focuses for the second half of May! Feel free to leave a comment if you have any ideas or feedback about what's coming in the next update. Thanks so much for being here, and we'll chat again soon! <3

Mid-May Progress Report

Greetings, humans! Hope you've been well :) Here's a summary of the latest progress on the game for ya!

PRINCESS PLOTS: Well, this month's poll was certainly a nail-biter! Super cool to see that you guys are interested in every Princess option. I have put some time into every Princess, though since Kiera the Bossy Princess won this round, she's been getting some extra attention (perhaps more attention than she'd like!) ;)

I'm making progress with what happens after Kiera joins the Princess club. In the next update, there will be 3-4 areas that she can Proclaim as her own (rather than just the playpen). Additionally, Proclaiming an area will actually DO stuff! For any area that Kiera has proclaimed, she will have a few effects that change how things work for her in relation to that area.. For example, if she becomes the Naproom Princess, she may find herself needing more frequent naps, and sucking her thumb in her sleep! Silly girl!~ (See pic)

Princess Kiera will have some new Adventures, based on whether she's a willing Princess, or simply dressed the part. Also, since the boys' club and Princess plots are inevitably intertwined, I've been writing more content for meeting the dudes as well.

T-SHIRT + DIAPER SPRITES: These are coming along nicely! I have some of the desperation animations finished, and a simple dry to wet accident animation. Lots to do yet, but hoping to have the wet -> soaked animation and mess animations close to finished by month's end! (See pic)

VARIABLE ACCIDENTS: You may have noticed that Kiera's accidents have less variability in the latest version. I am working hard at reintroducing (and expanding) variable accidents, that vary based on her level of potty training. Ie, at high potty training she'll do potty dances and try to hold it, while at low potty training she may not even notice she has to go until it's too late! I have been having fun with writing/spriting a couple surprise accident scenes ^^

NPC SKILLS: Making progress with Miss Laura's "Nurse" skill, Cassidy's "Change" skill, and Billie's "Tummy Poke" skill! :)

NEW CHARACTER SKILL: Well, it's about time that Kiera learned a particularly important skill, especially when stuck at daycare... She can now learn to Crawl! Kiera will have to learn this skill as part of the plot, and use it sometimes to evade detection or blend in. Or, you know.. maybe as she starts regressing more and more, it kinda just becomes her main method of transportation... (but let's not tell her about that yet!) Making all the interaction, desperation, and accident sprites for crawling in each outfit will take a while, so it will probably be a scene-specific skill for the next update. But the goal is to eventually allow her to crawl around as much as you'd like her to! (See pic)

MYSTERIOUS DOOR: The latest version hinted at someone.. or something.. guarding the mysterious hallway door. Well, there'll actually be a guard there now! They just might not be what you expect. (See pic for a hint.. can you guess who/what that is?)

..I think that's about it for now! Feel free to let me know about anything you'd like to see more development on for the next version, or if you have thoughts on any of the ideas above. Thanks for stickin' around with me and Kiera, and chat again soon! <3

Debug Version of the April Update!

Hey peeps! Today I humbly present to you the latest Debug version of BBMKR. Hope you have some fun with it!

LINK: https://mega.nz/file/4doyzR6Q 

KEY: F0ly0Uvy0q6UPA53MwcnG4CdYzTjSrpQdUvPCN-nXkg

PSA: This is meant to be played with the "MEGA SKIP" option, the debugginess won't work otherwise. And please be warned- there is NO new content in this compared to the latest release! It is branched from the last April patch and is separate from the live file I've been progressing with.

I did fix a few couple bugs though, compared to the latest version (sprite errors when getting changed out of wet or messy overalls in panties, and messing during the mini-RPG with Cassidy + scaredy should work properly now)

If you haven't tried out a debug version before, this gives you some extra tools to change your outfit & stats, speed up progress in the game, and make Kiera have more potty "visits" ;)

I have added a few new tools to this debug version, allowing you to quickly change outfits and undies, and speed through the sleep & hunger timers. Some things like multiple messes and wearing the t-shirt + diaper outfit aren't functional yet, but are priorities for the next update. I think by the next debug version, the potty system will start to feel fairly complete!

Anyways let me know if you have any thoughts or feedback! I'm open to further ideas of things to add to this. Thanks for being here & chat soon! <3

Monthly Focus Poll: MAY

Yo!! Here's the monthly poll, with some background info!

This month, I'd like to delve deeper into Kiera's Princess Plots! Based on her traits and decisions, she'll be assigned to one of four paths / Princess personalities once she shows the Princesses her dress. Her Princess personality still matters if she doesn't want to be a Princess, because she gets stuck in the dress for a while either way (as Cassidy hides her overalls from her)!

There are two deciding factors for her personality: First, whether she's Friendly or Bratty, and second, whether she agrees to join the Princesses or refuses to (which may be of great interest to the Boys' Club..). Here is a summary of the options:

~The Helpful Princess~ (FRIENDLY and WILLING):

This Kiera is a cheerful, bubbly Princess who is excited about becoming Royalty, and really gets into the role! She wants to use her power for good, find Princess-appropriate quests, and make the world a better place.. even if she has an accident or two along the way!

~The Awkward Princess~ (FRIENDLY and UNWILLING):

This Kiera politely declines being a Princess, and gets flustered and embarrassed about being stuck in her dress- especially given the diaper beneath it! She's a bit more of a tomboy and doesn't like being dressed so girly, but still tries to be nice as she makes every effort to get back to her trusty ol' Overalls.

~The Bossy Princess~ (BRATTY and WILLING):

This Kiera is very excited to be a Princess.. so that she can boss people around! After all, with great power comes great raspberry-blowing! Of course, having such high status does make it a teeeeeny bit more embarrassing when you go from bossing some peasants around to pooping your pants right in front of them...

~The Pouty Princess~ (BRATTY and UNWILLING):

This Kiera does NOT. WANT. TO BE. A PRINCESS!! She is very cross about being stuck in her stupid dress and diapers, and does a lot of fussing if anybody points her outfit out! And yet- something about those pouty cheeks is so pinchable, and the back of her dress is so liftable.. But no! I'm sure she won't get too much unwanted attention!

The plan is to of course have all of these be options eventually, but starting off with, I'll have to focus on some more than others. So, which Princess would you be most interested to see in the next update?

End of April Progress Report

Hello fellow humans! Thanks for being here and supporting Kiera's foray into bab-dom! Well.. she may or may not thank you, depending on her traits... but I certainly do either way!

Anyway, here's what I've been up to the past couple weeks!

T-SHIRT + DIAPER SPRITES. I have been working lots on the diaper + t-shirt sprites! There's a loooooot to do here, since the appearance of the diaps changes based on whether Kiera is dry vs. soggy/wet vs. soaked, and then clean vs messy. So 6 permutations of sprites!! (And then maybe leaky sprites, too?! Wah!) It'll take a while to have poses for every condition, but my goal for the next update is that Kiera can at least have accidents and waddle around with nothing covering her padding ^^

GENERAL ACCIDENTS. Lots of progress is being made towards Kiera's accidents! A few key focuses have been: Allowing multiple messes, Allowing wider range of animations based on outfit, And randomizing her potty needs. (You may have noticed that she always goes pee twice and then poops. I am in the process of changing that! It will keep to the 66% vs. 33% chance, but won't always happen in the same order, ie she could poop, pee, poop or whatever.)

ITEMS. I have been working on items and the items tab! You may have noticed that items don't get saved properly, so that's one thing I'm fixing, but I'd also like them to be more interactive and have more of an impact on gameplay (ie Kiera's paci- I mean, Babbler!). So stay tuned for more on that.. including some new items in the next update!

CODE/SPRITE REFACTORING. Over the past 2 years I've been learning a LOT about what steps to take in (somewhat) properly coding and maintaining a game. Lately, I've been spending a good amount of time refactoring things so that they're easier to work with, and so they run a bit better too. Not really an exciting aspect of progress, but thought I'd share, since a lil work on this now will save a lot of work later, and it's a good step towards making sure that (someday TM) I'll be able to finish the game!

SANDBOX. I'd like to introduce the Sandbox Littles in the next update, so I've started a bit on that! (See picture) The one boy is a bit of a bully, and Kiera will have the chance to stand up to him, ignore him, or join him (mileage may vary based on her traits, of course..!)

BOYS CLUB: Okay, I've talked about this forever and it still isn't part of the released game yet. BUT I've made some big steps with it and can happily say that the Boys Club will be ready for the next update! (See picture)

PARTY SKILLS/INTERACTIONS. I'm making progress with skills that Party members can use (Billie tummy poke, Cassidy diaper change, Miss Laura nursing), and I'm adding some new interactions based on who's in your Party (ie, the sandbox bully interactions will go very differently based on whether it's Miss Laura, Cassidy, or Billie who's tugging you along..)

TRAINING. So.. confession time.. I've been getting a big kick out of the Training tab lately. I just wanna add more and more things to it! So moar moar moar of those soon :) (Couple pics of WIPs for that too).

Welp, that's it for now! Thank you again so much for your support, please feel free to comment or share ideas, and we'll chat again soon!

April Patch + Progress Report!

Hey everybody! Here is the patch for the April version of BBMKR :)

LINK: https://mega.nz/file/ZJ51QZoC

KEY: p0_4kIY3huN9oGx8a5yp6uzDLLlp4s2-1wAPWd84dkk

I had a list of all the bugs I fixed, but deleted it by accident.. whoops! But here's a list of what I remember:

-Kiera's stats (potty training, maturity, independence) no longer reset to 100 upon loading the game

-Fixed a bug where triggering the "Hungry" event after the ABDL Trait had been picked would cause the game to freeze

-Picking ABDL and/or Scaredy no longer causes a guaranteed accident when visiting the potty (50% chance of regular potty event)

-After naptime, Kiera is now changed back into panties + jeans if she was wearing them before

-Interacting with Miss Laura while thumbsucking now works properly

-Lower potty training once again causes shorter potty timers (but no "doesn't notice she has to potty" events for the moment as those need work- stay tuned for that)

-Some interactions when passing in front of the videogame boys have been fixed (both game breaking and sprite-related). She will no longer suddenly wet herself every time she passes in front of them in panties + overalls

-Interacting with Ethan/Cool Band Guy should no longer sometimes cause a freeze

-Hopefully you don't get stuck in the swimming pool anymore? I couldn't replicate this bug, but did increase the area from which you can exit, so not totally sure

-Fixed some text letter case issues that could cause sprites to disappear

-There are lots of interactions that aren't finished yet, but the game would still call them, which would cause a freeze. Such as using the potty as Princess. Those events now just have a quick message rather than a freezing event.

-Some other bug fixes I'm forgetting!

As for progress- most of my time has been spent on fixing bugs, but I've found time to get going on sprites for new undies conditions and events! See attached files. I'll be aiming to have accidents for Kiera's t-shirt & diaper sprites in the game soon. I have worked a bit on a new skill for Billie (if you've used tickle, well.. I'll give you one guess what THIS skill does :P ), as well as allowing her tickle skill to cause Kiera to leak. I have also started working towards messy accidents when she's already messy.

Anyway, now that the patch is out, I'm excited to move full steam ahead into the next update! I think with all the game systems in place now, there'll be lots of fun ahead!

Thanks for reading & chat again soon! :)

Monthly Focus Poll: APRIL

Hey all! I hope you've been having some fun with the update so far :) I'll be putting out a patch in a week or so, once people have had a chance to let me know about bugs and I've had a chance to fix them!

BUT apart from bugs, I'm gonna start working on things for the next update, and would love to get your input on where to focus!

So.. what should I start focusing on? (Feel free to comment if there's something you'd like me to work on that's missing from the list!)

(Note: There are a few things I'm going to focus on no matter what, since they were popular in recent polls and I didn't get to finish them. So I'll be working on Kiera's Skills, Miss Laura stuff, and more sprites for her panties accidents, no matter what!)

April Update!

Hey all and sorry for the delay! First off, thank you so much for being here for the 4th update of Baby Maker! It means a lot to me that you want to support the project, and I hope you have fun with this update. This update introduces some big QOL features (such as a save system), new/expanded background systems (sleep & hunger), training events, a new party member, more trait-based and custom events, a very-slightly-further-than-before plot.. and more!

By the way, I now recommend FIREFOX as a good browser for the game. I have run into trouble with Chrome lagging lately, not sure why. Firefox can have its own issues though, so if one browser is being weird, maybe try another xD

If you don't want to read anything and just wanna PLAY, here's the link:

KEY: PLEKurSyoMwf1atjEXXWJZQ1zRVK4V83jsxs5atfI6E

If you DO wanna read, well- here's a list of things to look out for in the update (WARNING: SPOILERS!! Don't read if you want everything to be a surprise.. Though some content may be hard to find if you don't know about it!)

(Also if you are an early access supporter, you will have seen most of this already. For you guys- I had mentioned a few things [BOOBA, skills, pooping in wet panties] that I was hoping to finish for the update. Those are not finished. Fixing bugs took precedence the past couple weeks, but I'll return to those things again soon! Also thank you for the bug reports, stuff is running much better now!)

OK so list:

You will find that the filesize is much smaller :) There was a bunch of excess stuff in the files, so got rid of it (pesky .git files!).

There is now a Save System!! As far as I can tell it's working well, but if you find anything that doesn't seem to be saving properly, please let me know! There is a lot to track, so I may have missed some things.

There are new desperation and accident animations for Kiera in overalls and panties. She can now poop in panties, and her wetting/wet desp scenes are expanded. (Please note: Pooping sprites don't account for if she's already wet yet, so it will look like she's dry. This will be something to continue working on for the next update!).

Sleep System and Hunger System. These are both working now! Kiera can have accidents during her naps (of both types), and gets helped to a snack by Miss Laura when she's hungry. Let me know what you think of the frequency of these events, as I'd like to have them occur often enough for you to have some fun with them, but not so often that they take over the game!

There are several things that you can Train Kiera to do now. I will leave the things as a surprise, but just wanted you to know that there's at least a few of them! As you Train her in certain ways, she'll become more likely to have an accident in that situation again.

Mini-RPG. For now, Kiera will need to be wearing her Princess Dress to go on the mini quest! Try picking the SCAREDY trait and having Cassidy in your party for some extra fun! :) Note: Leaking does not work properly during the RPG quest.

Miss Laura can join your party! Rather than talking to Miss Laura to speed up Kiera's potty timer, you can now interact with the snack shelf to achieve the same effect (after finishing the intro sequence). (She can check Kiera's diaps.. BOOBA skill pending..)

There are a couple new areas and some things added to old areas. There isn't anything to do on the Swimming map yet, but you can see Kiera splash around in her super grown-up bathing suit!

There are more ABDL scenes around the map. Try interacting with things with the ABDL trait (especially if they seem babyish to begin with)! Some events unfinished.

Billie has a skill called "Tickle" that I put a bunch of work into. Try it out when Kiera has to pee (while diapered) ;)

There is a bit more to the "Mafia" quest line from the Lil boy in the playpen. I have also worked on the end of the "Showing dress to Princesses" quest so that it makes more sense (though it assumes you are "Bratty" for now).

The potty chart should update when Kiera either goes potty or gets her undies changed.

There is other stuff too but those should be the big things to look out for!

Anyway, I really hope you like the update and look forward to hearing your feedback.. and am excited to figure out with you what should be focused on for the next update! Cya soon!

Updoot will be delayed (by 1 or 2 days)

Heya peeps! Just wanted to let you know ahead of time that I won't be able to post the update on April 1 due to travel. It will probably be up on April 2, and at the latest by April 3. Apologies for the delay, I'm excited to share more of Kiera's adventures with you very soon!! :)

Early Access Patch

Hey all! Thanks for the heads up about some bugs. I'm posting a new early release version with a few fixes and changes. Here are some notes about the fixes; check out the previous post for more info about what to look for in the new version :)

-Added a "speed-up-potty" event to the snack shelf (after finishing the intro sequence). This replaces talking with Miss Laura to speed up Kiera's potty timer.

-Fixed an error where Kiera couldn't leave an area wearing the Princess dress (now you can properly check out the mini RPG in the dress, with Cassidy + Scaredy-cat!)

-Fixed a bug where Kiera would wet the bed more than she should (sorry! :P)

-Fixed errors where the game detected party members when there were none

-Fixed an error where using Pottypants in Pull-ups caused a game freeze

-Fixed various visual bug glitches

https://mega.nz/file/lEhhSDBK

Looking forward to any more bug reports, it really helps with pushing a solid full release. Thanks & chat soon! :)

Early Access Updoot!

HELLO.

It's good to see you! I hope that things are swell :)

SO it is time for the early access release of Baby Maker! If you haven't played an early access version before, be warned that it'll likely have lots of bugs (yes, even more than usual)! If you would like to let me know about any bugs you find in this version, I can look into them and get them removed for the full April 1 release. I had an extra busy week so I wasn't able to bug test this very much since I wanted to focus on wrapping up new content instead. So hopefully it at least works properly :D

Sprites may be buggier when Kiera is in her jeans, or wearing panties or pull-ups. I tend to test sprites when she's in diapers, for um, reasons.

I would also like to mention that there are a few things I'm still hoping to finish putting together in the next couple weeks. The main things are:

Panties accidents. Kiera can now mess in panties, but the sprites are only finished for when she's dry and messes. So if she's already wet, the sprites won't account for that. This will be a focus for April 1. (And re-wetting her pants isn't done yet, but will be soon!)

Miss Laura. Miss Laura has a BOOBA skill that isn't ready yet. I'm hoping to finish it for the full updoot.

Skills. Kiera has some new skills that aren't finished yet. The Bratty skill "Tattle" should be finished, but I'm hoping to finish working on the other ones for April 1.

Anyway without further ado:

https://mega.nz/file/oEgGnYYI

You will find that the filesize is much smaller :) I found that there was a bunch of excess stuff in the files, so got rid of it (pesky .git files!).

Things to try out (SPOILERS, don't read if you'd rather explore and find stuff out on your own!):

There is now a Save System!! As far as I can tell it's working well, but if you find anything that doesn't seem to be saving properly, please let me know! There is a lot to track, so I may have missed some things.

There are new desperation and accident animations for Kiera in overalls and panties. She can now poop in panties. (Note as above: Pooping sprites don't account for if she's already wet yet, so it will look like she's dry).

Sleep System and Hunger System. These should both be working now! Kiera can have accidents during her naps (of both kinds). I've sped the timers up for these so that you guys can test them more (you can check her sleepiness/hunger level in her character/face tab). But if the current speed of those timers is actually good, let me know. I could leave it set the way it is now.. just don't want sleep/eat scenes to overtake the game.

There are several things that you can Train Kiera to do (you can see them in the Training tab). I will leave the things as a surprise, but just wanted you to know that there's at least a few of them! As you "train" her in certain ways, she'll become more likely to have an accident in that situation again.

Mini-RPG. For now, Kiera will need to be wearing her Princess Dress to go on the mini quest! Try picking the SCAREDY trait and having Cassidy in your party for some extra fun! :) Note: Leaking does not work properly during the RPG quest.

Miss Laura can join your party! Still finishing up the BOOBA event.. Soon TM/April 1 :) (This does replace the event that speeds up Kiera's potty timer.. hopefully no rioting but I could add a potty speeder event elsewhere if you liked having it around)

There are a couple new areas and some things added to old areas. There isn't anything to do on the Swimming map yet, but you can see Kiera splash around in her super grown-up bathing suit!

There are more ABDL scenes around the map. Try interacting with things with the ABDL trait! Some events unfinished.

Billie has a skill called "Tickle" that I put a bunch of work into. Try it out when Kiera has to pee (while diapered) ;)

There is a bit more to the "Mafia" quest line from the Lil boy in the playpen.

The potty chart should update when Kiera either goes potty or gets her undies changed.

Some other stuff too but those should be the big things to look out for!

But yeah if you'd like to let me know about any bugs you encounter that would be a big help! Hope you enjoy!

When to expect Early Access

Hey friends! Just wanted to give you a heads up of when to expect early access. I can't give an exact day this time because I've got a busy week ahead, but it will be one of the 15, 16, or 17. No later than that! 'Til then, I'll be doing my best to finish putting things together for it... should be a bunch of fun stuff and I'm super excited to share it with you! Soon TM!! :D

Monthly Focus Poll: MARCH

HELLO. It is now time for voting for what should get extra dev time this month! This is an EXTRA SPECIAL poll because this will help determine what should ABSOLUTELY be finished (or at least more-worked-on) for the upcoming update!

So yeah, here's the poll:

(Also gimme a BONK if I'm forgetting anything!)

End of February Progress Report

Hello fellow humans! First off, thanks so much for being here and supporting the project! It's super encouraging to have you along on this development adventure (though Kiera would insist you should stop supporting.. but if you give her the abdl trait I don't think she'll mind!)

Second off, I come to you bearing another report of progress! Updoot is approaching suuuuper fast. After a bit of a slower start to February, I managed to work on the game every day the past 2 weeks, and got lots done! :)

Also maybe it's silly to have JUST started doing this, but I finally started keeping a bit of a dev diary to remind myself what I've been working on every day. I usually forget some things I've been working on, and it takes literally 10 seconds to jot down what I'd been working on in a day, soooo yeah it's been pretty useful! SO here is a hopefully-somewhat-more-accurate summary of what I've been working on lately!

DESPERATION/ACCIDENTS/POTTY TRAINING: I did some work on walking, desperation, and accident sprites and scenes for when Kiera is in panties and overalls. I also put some time into setting up using the potty in diapers while partied up with Miss Laura, Cassidy, and Billie ('cause Kiera obvs needs some help with her diaps!). For the updoot, I'm hoping to have the potty system ready enough for Kiera to go from panties to diapers and back again (even if some of the scenes are a bit placeholder-y for now!)

MISS LAURA: I made some progress with Miss Laura's skills, making them work with multiple outfits and working on sprites and animations. I don't wanna share images of her because I'd rather keep those as a surprise. Excited to share more of her with you soon!

ABDL INTERACTIONS: Made a bit of progress with Kiera interacting with diapers and bottles in the potty room. Some fun sprites on the way for those (but again a surprise)! :)

NEW SKILL: Working on a new skill for Kiera's Big Girl trait, where she gets a quest to find a Little with a stinky bum and alert Blossom about it (thereby proving how big she is herself). Potential shenanigans if she has to go potty while pointing this out... (Dunno if this will be ready for the update as it's not a priority, but we'll see!)

BILLIE: Okay, one thing I spent maybe TOO much time on was Billie's tickle skill! There are now some fully completed scenes, animations, and training for the skill, designed for when Kiera has to pee.

HIDE AND SEEK: I'm wanting Kiera's successes and failures with playing hide and seek to have lasting effects.. ie, if she fails to find anybody, she might start to actually get worse at being seeker, and need help from a grown-up... Still needs work but I think it will be some silly fun when ready!

NAPTIME: I made some progress with the naptime system. Kiera will get put into SnugSleeps or Diapers depending on what she's already wearing, and/or her history of bedwetting. There are some variable scenes to naptime now! Messing scene/s still need work but will be working on that over the next weeks.

SNACKTIME: I've put together some sprites for Kiera sitting and the big kids' table in the kitchen and have finished a scene for her getting a snack from Miss Laura. Still gotta work on the high chair scenes, so more on that soon!

SAVE SYSTEM: Sooo many things to track with this! The save system should now track the current images for Kiera's face, undies, and outfit, as well as the text inside those respective menus.

LAYOUT/CSS: I made some minor adjustments to the game's CSS so that the text boxes in the game menus will contain text better (like the outfit and undies tabs).

That's it for now! I'll put up a poll in the next day or two so you can help me decide what the heckerino I should focus on finishing in time for the early access and April 1st updoots. And if you have anything you're interested to see get extra attention in the next few weeks feel free to let me know in the thingy where you write thingies below this thingy!

Thanks for reading and babble again soon! :)

Mid-February Progress Report

Yoyo everybody! Hope that you're doing awesomely. Looks like there's just a month and a half 'til the next release of Baby Maker.. and just a month 'til early access! Holy guacamole, does the time fly!! :D

I've made some decent progress so far this month. Life has been a bit busier lately, so I haven't finished as much as I'd hoped.. but with the next update looming, I'm feeling good overall about what'll be ready for April 1! At this point in the dev cycle, I'm focusing on finishing up things that I've been working on, as there are a lot of partially-finished ideas that aren't fully play-ready. So without further ado, here's what I've been working on!

CASSIDY: As the winner of our latest poll, Cassidy has earned some extra dev time! I have been updating sprites and events for her skills, so that Kiera will appear in her actual current outfit (rather than just overalls every time). Mostly been working on the dress sprites in that regard (see pic). I'm having a bit of fun with it- since checking her in a dress would be different than with overalls, you'll get to see a different pose from Cassidy when she checks a dress-wearing Kiera! I've also added a Cassidy sprite on the map so you can recruit her into your party whenevs (as long as she's not already in it). Part of the idea behind her character is that she's a loose cannon who descends on Kiera when she's in precarious situations and bab's her up, but until the story is developed further, I think it makes sense for her to be more accessible.

POTTY/ACCIDENT EVENTS: I've been working on finishing up Kiera's desperation, accident, and potty events for when she's in panties! (See pic). I've added potty scenes for mild desperation, and want to eventually have several in place for when she's REALLY desperate (ie, having scenes where she wets as soon as entering the potty room, right in front of the potty, and scenes where she just barely makes it). But for now, I'll probably just have one mild desp scene and one major desp scene, until I have time to flesh out more ideas. I've revamped her overalls + panties desperation scenes for when she needs to pee (the scenes that occur when you get potty alerts). I am almost finished her #2 desperation scenes and need to finish the actual accident animation for that. And then I need to work on having some basic sprites in place for her when walking around in wet and/or messy pants. So that'll be something to focus on finishing up over the next bit!

ABDL TRAIT: I've continued to realize how many things around the map an abdl would be excited about! While Kiera has tended to be bemused or embarrassed about the items in the potty room, she'll now have different reactions to them as an abdl (see pic). Hopefully by the time the update drops, picking the abdl trait will feel like it makes some significant, silly changes to the game!

PLOT/ADVENTURES: I have been working on the playpen adventures! There will be another stage or two of progress available in Don Don and Steph's quests. Central's quest might not be ready for the update, as I have to make a new Amazon NPC sprite for the person who's supposed to be guarding the mysterious hallway door (yes, there IS supposed to be someone there :P). I'm trying to get at least an intro to the boy's club in place (see pic), but am going back and forth between holding off until that area is REALLY ready, or having an intro to it that doesn't have everything in place yet. (Any opinions on that?)

SPRITES: Still working lots on updating the sprites of different outfits! Overalls + panties, dress + diapers have been the focus so far this month.

Sooo yeah, that's about it for now! For the rest of February, I'm hoping to keep working at the things listed above, as well as Miss Laura interactions, t-shirt + diaper sprites/interactions, a few "training" events, and whatever other things I'm forgetting I need to work on right now!

If there's anything I didn't mention here that you'd really like to see in the update, feel free to let me know! Since it's getting close to the update, this is a good time to remind me, and I'd be happy to work on something you're excited about :)

Anyway, thanks for reading & chat again soon!! <3

Monthly Focus Poll: February

Yooooooo!! It's time for a POLL! I was writing out some options of what I could work on this month, and realized it would be a lot of the same things I've polled about the past couple months. So I think I'll just keep working on what y'all voted for the past couple months.. And we haven't done an NPC poll in a while, so let's try that this time around!

So.. Which character(s) would you be most interested in seeing more content for? I'll put extra work into the winner(s) this month! Feel free to comment if you have more to say... I'm looking forward to seeing who you're interested in getting to know better! :)

-----

DISCLAIMER: Miss Laura is not included in this poll because Imma be working on her no matter what :P

And just in case you're curious, here are the things from previous polls that I'll keep focusing on:

-Trait interactions (ABDL, Scaredy, Crybaby)

-Alternate outfit spritework (dress & t-shirt + diaper)

-Accidents in panties

-Potty training system

-Updating/Adding skills

-Hunger & sleep systems

-----

Chat soon! :)

End of January Progress Report

Hey everybody! First off- thank you so much for being here and supporting the game! Kiera has been going through a LOT of diapers lately, so it's great to have you here to help :D (seriously, you guys rock!!)

We are halfway to the next update.. Woohoo!! It's looking like a lot of development milestones will be met with this update.. there's been tons of momentum the past couple months and I'm hoping to keep it up!

Now let's chat about how the past 2 weeks have gone in Baby Maker Dev Land. Some similar topics as the previous report, as I've tried to focus on certain aspects of the game for the whole month :)

TRAITS. I have been adding more trait-dependent scenes! It's mostly been ABDL scenes lately... I was pondering about which items around the daycare would be good candidates, and realized that if Kiera is an ABDL, she might actually WANT to be put in a [normally blush-inducing] contraption like her crib or her highchair.. So an ABDL Kiera can now request for a grown-up to put her in her crib or highchair! Oh boy! :) Also continued working on some scaredy-kitten scenes! (ie Mini RPG)!

SLEEP & HUNGER SYSTEMS. I've been working a bunch on getting these to the point of being fully functional systems. You're now able to train Kiera into becoming a bedwetter... not to mention something considerably more shtinky can now happen in her sleep! How embarrassing! But don't worry, she'll have access to a new kind of big girl undies for naptime, which she'll surely be excited about~ Meanwhile, the hunger system still need a bunch of work, but it's getting there!

PLOT THINGIES. I've been putting some decent time into having an intro to the boys' club ready for the update! Their introduction will include several new map areas, new adventures, and new characters to meet! I'm not sure yet if this will be fully ready for April, but would reeeeeally like it to be ^^

MISS LAURA. Sooo I noticed that the mid-January report got lotsa likes. And it featured a bunch of stuff about Miss Laura, including 2 pictures with her.... SO I took that to mean I should keep working on stuff with our favourite Amazon :P Mostly still building on top of things I've talked about already- having her join your party with some skills to use, having her react to accidents, and working more on the hunger system/kitchen interactions!

SAVE SYSTEM. At this point, the save system seems to be tracking pretty much everything! I'm sure I'm missing a few things, but uh.. yeah, it's pretty much ready! Excited for this to be part of the next updoot! :D

SPRITES. Still working on sprites for the dress, commando-diaper-girl, and wearing panties! Always more to do, so that's a constant! Kiera can now explore the daycare in just her diaper, with some unique interactions there (doesn't automatically get changed back to overalls when her clothes are dry)

SKILLS: I made some progress with skills! Aiming to have a variety of party-member reactions when Kiera uses a skill... ie, having Laura, Cassidy, Billie, etc react in a unique way when the Little starts to- say- suck her thumb in front of them ;) It'll be a good way to develop Kiera's relationships with her buddies and see how they interact with her!

I think that's about it for now! I'll put the February poll up soon.. looking forward to seeing what you'd like to see further developed this month! As always, happy to chime in on any questions or feedback you have! Ciao & chat soon! :)

Mid-January Progress Report

Hey friendos! Hope you're doin' well, and having a good start to the new year! :) Here's the progress report for how BBMKR's game development has been going the past couple weeks!

BUT FIRST- I just wanted to mention I've noticed that running the game in CHROME has been causing input lag when holding/pressing Q, and causes animations to run weird (at least for me.. let me know if you experience this or not in Chrome). I think Chrome got an update that bonked around with timers.. I have started devving in Firefox, and there's no lag there. So if you find that Chrome is giving you issues when running the game, I'd recommend trying Firefox or another browser for now!

ONTO THE PROGRESS!

MISS LAURA. I have been working a bunch on sprites and dialogue for the buxom Amazon (see picture). I'm excited to have her as an optional party member, since she'll have a few.. ah.. "skills.." that the other babysitt- er.. "party members.." don't :P And she keeps performing well in polls so I figured I should dedicate a bunch of time to her! Hoping to have her react to some situations/items when in your party, such as Kiera thumbsucking/using her paci, going potty, using the swing & slide,  going on the mini RPG.. and some custom location-based events, such as checking Kiera's diaper in front of the video game boyz! (Probably won't have time for all of those, but there'll definitely be more Miss Laura content incoming!)

HUNGER. In the same vein, I've expanded interactions in the Kitchen (see picture). There is a simple hunger system in place now. :) Kiera can bug Miss Laura for a snack in the kitchen (or try to get one herself), and sit at either the big kids' table, or in the highchair (though she may take some convincing if she's not an abdl!). Having a snack will speed up her potty timer a bit (she won't want to eat if she's already full). No spoilers, but sitting in the highchair may have some tactical uses for upcoming adventures, too..

OUTFITS. I've continued spritework for the Princess Dress, Swimsuit, and NoPants outfits.. lots of interactions only worked in shortalls in the last update, and I'm hoping to have most work in any outfit for the next one!

POTTY CHART. I've done a bit of work on the potty system (see picture)! The potty chart now updates when you go potty or get a change, and Kiera will have something to say when she sees her "progress" on full display for everyone to see :P

SKILLZ. I have started working on Skills again, hoping to have at least one functional skill for every trait, so that no matter what trait you pick, you can have a bit of a different experience in the game :) Currently working on the first Crybaby skill, which is - *gasp* - called "Cry." I wonder what that does..? ;)

SAVE SYSTEM. I have continued tinkering with the save system. It now properly tracks the traits that you've selected, your level in each selected trait, and the skills that go with them. Next, I'll be looking into tracking for Adventures, Buddies, and Training.. at which point it'll be pretty much complete! (Barring bug testing, which.. let's be honest, prob gonna need quite a bit haha. But overall it seems to be working way better than the first time around, so feeling optimistic about it! A proper Save System will really boost the QoL/replayability of the game I think!)

MISCELLANEOUS. Apart from that, I've made bits of progress with naptime, the mini RPG, the swimming pool, and the fabled Boys' Club, as well as the adventures from the Playpen Littles. I'd like to get the adventures from Central, Don Don, and Steph at least one checkpoint further.. which all involve learning more about some of the mysterious NPCs/areas! Lots of other little bits of progress on things around the map, things are filling out nicely :)

I think that's about it for now! Lemme know if you have any thoughts about this, would love to hear what ya think! Stay dry (or don't!) and see ya again soon! ^^

Debug Version of the December Updoot!

Hey all! Just wanna say a big thanks for your support! It is super cool to see you stick around, especially after a release month! Y'all rock!! :)

Here's the linkydoodle for the debug version for the latest update, hope you enjoy ^^

https://mega.nz/file/BcxxSBAD#izMXg_vqt5BO3Zh9s9xksitJaopojAdF9gvhpTu3oC4

PSA: This is meant to be played with the "MEGA SKIP" option, the debugginess won't work otherwise. And please be warned- there is NO new content in this compared to the latest release! It is branched from the last December patch and is separate from the live file I've been progressing with.

If you haven't tried out a debug version before, this gives you some extra tools to change your starting outfit & stats, speed up progress in the game, and make Kiera have more potty "visits" ;)

Oh and you may run into different bugs than the other version, I don't bug test this very much.... But at least you can speedrun quickly again if your game goes bonk :P

PS file size is much smaller as I removed some bloat files! Woo!

Anyway I'm rambling! Hope you enjoy and see ya soon!

Monthly Focus Poll: January

Hey all! Here's the monthly focus poll for January :)

There were a few things on the last poll that performed super well, so I'm just going to keep working on those this month, and poll for other things that I could add to the to-do list! So hopefully these options don't seem too boring.. rest assured, I'll be focusing a lot on potty business, traits, outfits, and the save system! So.. what should get focused on for January? :)

(PS.. any preference between multiple choice vs single choice polls? I dunno which is better!)

End of December Progress Report

Hey everybody! Happy new year, I hope that 2023 brings you all that you dream of! Unless you dream of spiders. Double unless you actually LIKE spiders.. in which case, I hope 2023 does bring you those! ANYWAY, here is the end of year progress report to fill you in on how things have been going with Baby Maker!

Accident system: I have been expanding the accident system, so that it covers messy accidents in panties (see photo!), and doesn't bug out from wet ones. You may have noticed that I usually prioritize working on diaper scenes, but I am doing my best to catch up on more omorashi and potty training content, so that you can have fun with Kiera in panties and pull-ups, too. I have also started integrating the potty chart into the potty system, so that it updates when Kiera goes potty or gets her bottom changed (and of course, adding dynamic interactions with the potty chart where she celebrates/laments her progress!).

Trait interactions: Still plodding away on adding more trait interactions! I've been having some fun with abdl interactions lately, allowing Kiera to be less pouty and fussy about being in diapers, and being shyly happy about it instead. :) Making a bit of progress on the "Friendly" branches too, since Kiera is mostly a bit of a brat at the moment, and I'd like your first trait pick to have more of an impact on gameplay.

Swimming: I've been working on sprites and scenes for a new location- the pool! (See photo) This will be a new location in the next update (and not just the buggy map that traps you that you may have stumbled into by accident.. whoops!). The pool features a new outfit for Kiera- her swimsuit and waterwings! This outfit won't be nearly as much work as the others, since it's limited to being worn in the pool (at least for now), and thus has much fewer scenes to worry about. It's actually got me musing about how using location-specific outfits could be a good way to allow more outfits, without it eating up too much dev time!

Save System: After a bit more tinkering, a basic save system is now working! So far it can track your outfit, undies, player location, timers, and where you're at in the plot. TBH, I think this is similar to what it did when I had originally released a save system.. but it's seeming much less buggy now after some refactoring. It's not yet tracking everything to do with traits, skills, adventures, etc, but I know how to get it fully working... Just need to find the time to get it all together! BUT whether I get the whole save system finished or not, I will at minimum release a rudimentary save system for the April update (allowing you to save outfits, timers, and plot points)! :)

Mini RPG: I have continued working on this since the last report. Have lots of ideas for this, based on trait picks and outfits.. Scaredy vs Brave.. Knight vs Princess.. This might be one part of the game where I prioritize working on dress-wearing content above overalls, since writing scenes for a scaredy Princess on an RPG quest is just too fun :P

Layout Bugfixin': Okay I don't usually talk about stuff like this because it maybe isn't very exciting.. but it is for me! Have you ever reached a point of having so many adventures that they start to get squished together on your screen? Well, no more! I've figured out how to make the adventures menu expand into the scrollable content, so that new adventures never get squashed. Same will apply to the Training menu too. QoL fixes are always a good time!

File size: I realized that including .git files in the uploaded version adds a TON of file size. So I'll be removing those files from uploaded zips. Thus the next update will be markedly smaller and less of a hassle to download :) (I just checked and it's literally 69.0 MB... nice)

I also wanted to share an awesome, adorable art by loki (see Books picture below)! It is super super cool to see art based around the game, and I am always blown away at how talented the abdl community is. Here is loki's twitter if you would like to see more! https://twitter.com/lokiilewd

That's it for now! Thanks for reading, and as always, feel free to comment if you have anything to say! I'm always happy to read feedback and hear about what you're interested to see :) See you again soon!

Mid December Progress Report (+Patch)

Hey everybody! First off- I've updated the pinned post with the probably final patch for the December version. It should fix a few of the bigger problems, such as the game acting weird if you don't mega skip, the slide messing with sprites/causing crashing, the sleep timer going wonky, and fewer bugs with the dress sprites. Not much extra content, just fixes a few issues mostly. It does have an introduction to bedwetting though! (Chance to wet, increases with lower potty training. But can't leak or poop in bed yet, soon TM)

Anyway here's the link for that: https://mega.nz/file/5BJDgLaS#TZWQgGifGvDSi6I47AtlKHQv9H25C7mf7oKAsLv7Zbc

SO even with doin the ol bug-fixin, I've had a pretty good start to the month! Having these monthly polls is proving to be super helpful for deciding what I should work on. So here's what I've been up to:

Spritework! I want Kiera to be able to waddle around in equal proclivity no matter her outfit.. whether she be in her overalls, dress, or just her diaper and t-shirt. So I've been working on more dress sprites, including a messing animation from the uh.. rear end, that I'm pretty excited about :P I have made progress on her being able to interact with more after she's leaked and stuck in just a diaper, so that you won't be forced back into overalls at the end of the timer.

The mini RPG! Had some inspiration with this after not having worked on it the entire last patch. You'll be able to get some variety with it depending on your current party, who will join in on the adventure- like Cassidy (see attached pic), who is more than happy to tag along with a diaper bag slung over her shoulder, ready to help Kiera out if she gets too scared. I am working on adding more variety to the type of monster encounters, the chance of accident when fighting, and just more dialogue and animations in general.

The sleep system! The latest patch includes most of what I've worked on for the sleep system so far, but it won't be too tough to add leaking and messing to the mix. I'm excited to get this properly added to the game, as it will add something fun and reoccurring to spice things up when Kiera starts to get grumpy/sleepy.

Trait interactions! Now that I have some animations finished for Kiera's abdl and scaredy-cat accidents, I've started to work on more interactions with those two traits in mind. I'm hoping that soon, the game will start to feel markedly different based on the traits you pick, which should add some replayability!

Save system! This has been my kryptonite for a while, but I think I have a good handle on getting this to work. I've been tinkering with it a bit again and may be able to put something together by next update. I don't want to promise anything on that, but have definitely made some progress with it.

Training system! This is one of the newer buttons on the interface.. Can't remember if I've gone into much detail about it, but basically you can "train" Kiera to have accidents in certain situations. So if she keeps wetting the bed (see attached pic), she'll start to have a higher chance of wetting again.. and so on. There's also a "training" event if she messes after eating playdoh. I plan to add lots of these events, since part of the idea of "Baby Maker" is that you can guide her towards being the type of Baby you'd like :P

Sooo yeah, apart from bug fixes, that's most of what I've worked on so far! Gotta say.. it's 2 weeks into this update block and I'm already super excited for the next update.. so that's a pretty good sign! I'll probably keep working on what I've started this month, and start diving into more panties accidents and potty training business over the next 2 weeks.

As always, thanks a ton for being here, feel free to comment if you have any thoughts, and we'll chat soon! ^^
