So yeap, there it is, in all it's coloured glory. 


As for the game update, I'm still working on it, ran into a few problems and lost a bit of time and data cause of a stupid bug that appeared after an update to the game engine, the promised features will still be there, though I'm not too happy with it, but I'll push it to the standard I want during the de-bugging week! 


For now, I'm gonna focus on actually getting the game ready by this weekend! And damm ...

State of animation in the game

Sooooo technically it's not supposed to have animation until we reach the next threshold/ goal thing, but luckily/unluckily I have bad judgement with money and went along with getting it. So there was an animation that I released a while back, but there was the issue of the body parts becoming distorted with aimation software they were using, so I commissioned an artist to animate it, so I ended up with a cheaper option that was in better quality (in my opinion). 


So yeap, I'll...

Announcements and poll results!

Hey guys, there were some details on the release coming this week that I forgot to mention (apparently a lack of sleep does that to you), so I'll be writing them out here and now! First of all, the release this week will be for Patrons only! We have finally grown into a number that is feasible for beta testing so I'll be giving the Patrons the first version for bug reports and feedback! This essentially allows me to make the game (relatively) bug-free as well as fix content that doesn't sit we...

Game release next week! And progress update!

Hey guys! I've been doing some finishing touches on the game, gonna playtest it for bugs after I'm done and after Aiykawa delivers the art, it'll be ready to go! Should be a pretty decent overhaul, at least I hope so haha. Gonna sleep and continue after I wake up~ 


The votes will be closed and tabulated, and I'll talk to Aiykawa about the design of the new attire! The results should be pretty evident! Hopefully I'll have it implemented in the next update!

Update and news (sprites, animation etc)

Hey guys, so I'm a bit early this week, but better early than late I suppose. Anyway, I've been sourcing around for different artist to tackle some aesthetic changes for the game, which will hopefully make the game more immersive! Namely sprites and animation.

I have already found a spriter which, personally I find that his stuff was pretty awesome. Currently, I'll be commissioning him to get the base sprites for the main 6 girls done for now! Then I'll be moving on to their alternate outfits,...

Status update of the game

Hey guys, sorry for the late update this week, working on something that I think you all will like and the process was pretty tedious unfortunately. 

For the new people joining in, I normally make a post a week to either show what I'm working on or a sneak peek or something. It's mostly to show that I haven't disappeared without a trace haha.  

So let's get to it, I'm currently working on:

1) Some quality of life improvements for the game, which consist o...

Animation

Wanted you guys to be the first to know about this! So I've been sourcing for animators and sprite artist to make the game better and more immersive, managed to find two animators and artist, this is a sample from one of them! It's a work in progress, so this won't be the version in the game, it will be improved on and such. 


On a another note, the next update might not be as big, the reason being that I'm migrating the game into MV. The main reason I'm doing this is mostly bec...

Patrons poll for Elaine's alternate outfit!

Hey guys, as mentioned in the previous poll, we'll be adding a outfit changing system for the girls, starting with Elaine! 


Patron polls will be worth more than public polls, which is fair I believe. 

Just vote here and I'll do the rest of math stuff!


And just as before, if you have any suggestions, just comment here or drop me a message!

Polling for Elaine's alternate outfit!

Version 0.03 is out! And good news!

Hey guys! First of all sorry for the delay, there was a maintenance or something just now. 

Anyway, let's get down to business, as of this month, the game has become self-sustainable! Which is to say, we the money from you guys every month, we are able to keep the game running at a bare minimum! Which is a good thing considering I was dangerously close to running out of funds to commission new art haha, I mean seriously close.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas guys! As you all would have probably known if you played the alpha version, that I'm not exactly an artistically talented person, nor a talented person, in fact I'm barely a person. So I can't really draw you all anything, so I guess all I can do is post a bunch of sneak previews for the next update. And with that, happy holidays guys, thanks for all the support for the past 3 months!

Random sneak peek outta nowhere

Did I wake up this morning thinking that I would post a sneak peek of this? Nope. 

Did Aiykawa draw this knowing that I'll post this here? Probably not. 

Is there a point to all these questions? I don't think so.

But is it cute? Yeap it is. 

Anyhoo, here's the sneak peek for one of the characters in the game. Anyone wanna guess who she is?
