Weekly Update

A.k.a the clean up cum polishing week. Yeah, lots to do as usual. I know at this point people are like: "But Doggo, you say that every week", to that I'll will say: "Mind your own business buddy." 

Jokes aside, this week I'll mostly be cleaning up Jikage Rising and then move on to fixing the errors reported for Star Cove as well as tweaking some other stuff. After I'm done with those, I'll need to get files ready for Dungeons and Tavern, well, more like "check if it works the way I...

Jikage Rising v1.28a Patron Release

Woohoo, the war is over! Just one more update to wrap things up, along with some extra stuff. On an unrelated note, do y'all know we have a server? And sometimes fan made mods are posted there? I'm not suggesting anything though, and I'm definitely not suggesting that you should definitely join the server before the next update of Jikage Rising is up. Side note, what's Hinata's sister's name again?

Anyway, update this time has some stuff that was happening in t...

Weekly Update!

Okie dokie, weekly update time! 

Hopefully done with the technical issues in the current version of Star Cove and moving on to the plot issues, but that's a topic for a different post. Speaking of topic for a different post, my hear has been acting up lately, wonder if it's cause of my sinuses or something.

Anyway, for this week I'll be doing intensive work on Jikage Rising, getting the war event out and done! Then I'll need about 1-2 updates to tidy up and/or for some additi...

The Star Cove incident 0.12 "The pre-1.00 beta"

Update: Fixed some issues with Puru and some display issues!
Update: Brute forced the Puru display issues, it shouldn't appear anymore.

While I can technically release it like this and call it a day, there are still some parts that I feel like could be improved. Anyway, endings are all added, all paths are added, and all sounds and CG are in the game, unless I missed some parts.

Anyway, before I release it to the public, I want to know what y'all think can be improved/tweak/ do...

Weekly Update!

Yeap yeap, time for another weekly update. Mondays are always the busiest cause of the influx of assets and questions I get from all sides, but whew, we're here! The biggest question right now is probably "Is the post about Star Cove real or is it an April's fools joke?" 

Yeah it's real, I had a whole plan of releasing the game on April 1st just to mess with y'all, but then went the date came closer I was having issues stitching the various parts together in a cohesive way. Honestl...

(Spoilers) Information on Arc 3 of Jikage Rising

Spoiler warning! I'll be going into plot stuff for Arc 3! So for the 4 people out there that actually care about the plot we have going on, this is a spoiler warning!

So I was talking to some players about their feedback on the map, and I realised that I didn't actually explain what Arc 3 is about and there were some confusion about what was going on, so yeap haha, this is as good a time as any to explain what's going to happen in Arc 3!

Feedback form for Arc 3 map (Jikage Rising)

Hey all, so there was a bit of feedback for this map and I thought it would be best to have a dedicated post for it! So to start off, the map is going to be the village that the MC will be "managing". The building in the town are:

-Hospital
-Surveillance HQ
-Shopping district + weapons shop
-Hotsprings resort
-Ramen shop
-School/training centre
-Park
-Security/Barracks

So the feedback that I've sent so far are:

Weekly update, we have a lot of stuff going on that I'm not super sure where to start. So we'll go bit by bit, starting with Jikage Rising. We have the first draft for the map of the village for Arc 3, it's rough, to say the least, but I've given some feedback to the artist and we are tweaking it a bit more so it looks more consistent and less silly. 

So far I asked for some adjustments an...

Hey all! Time for another weekly update! We have quite a bit of news to report on this week. I was just doing some research on some pretty cool and interesting stuff one of the players/modders were telling me about. Very very cool stuff.

Another Monday another weekly update! Honestly I'm pretty stroked about the war event that's gonna happen, hopefully you guys will like it too. Though I'm, hmmm, I really don't know if people will like it or if it'll be a mixed reception. We'll see hahahah.

So anyway, I'll generally be working on Ino and a foursome scene for the Suna side girls, I'll also have to get some art ready for the war, specifically when Infinite Tsukuyomi happens. Man, this should be something.

Dungeons and Tavern update and skill suggestions

Hey all, just a progress update on the game, it's technically playable but I highly suspect playing it now would result in more harm than good. Anyway, here's a quick update on what's going on, what's done and what will soon be added and what's changed:

Progression:

So instead of having y'all go into dungeons and killing things for seemingly no reason, there will now be multiple towns, which is kinda problematic when it comes to design, but I'll go into it more ...

Jikage Rising v1.26 public release

Hey all, as mentioned, the public release is out! So for this one, it's mostly adding in stuff that were missing and a couple of new scenes. Namely we have a Hinata and Tenten scene that will be available. They will be open to you as soon as you start arc 2, it's one of those default scenes, but it's added in now cause we were more focused on progressing with the plot back then, cause I imagine some people would be rather unhappy with us not doing scenes for the new girls haha.

Hey all, busy busy week again, it's always a busy week, why is it always a busy week. Anyway, we got the poll results and stuff, so I can pretty much see very clearly who are interested in seeing more of haha, in Jikage Rising I mean.

As for Dungeons and Tavern, we did a bit of restructuring on the plot to take full advantage of the engine. Also doing a bit more outsourcing this time cause doggo is realising his limitations and I want things to look better for y'all. View Post

Weekly Update

So this is gonna be a busy week again, as it is with most weeks haha. Anyway, mostly gonna be focusing on Dungeons and Tavern, which we probably need a better name for, there will be some tweaks to some dungeons cause of the different engine, which allows me to do more in the less time, which hopefully makes things more fun. 

As for Jikage Rising, there's a poll going on in case y'all didn't notice it! You can do the poll here:

(Public Poll)Move to arc 3 asap or more scenes for Arc 2?

Edit: Forgot to enable multiple choice, should be fixed now

As the title says, should we get more scenes for the characters that had less love or should we move on to Arc 3 asap?

So a couple of things to mention before we get into it, cause I imagine it's gonna be a question:

1)Ino will be getting a scene in the next update, so all Konoha main girls have the same number of scenes.

2)Most/all scenes in arc 2 will be carried over to arc 3, so we'll get more, no worries.<...

Hey all, as mentioned, this is a pretty small-ish update, mostly cause I'm doing a lot of prep work for Arc 3. The next 2 or so updates are probably going to be similar, but I'll be showing y'all progress of some arc 3 stuff pretty soon, so do look forward to that!

Hey all, so it has been brought to my attention that I forgot to add in the Kumo threesome scene, which I could have sworn that I added.

Along with Mei's outfits, which a lot of you seem to be looking forward to haha, personally I'm pretty excited about the village thing that we'll have going on, not su...

Jikage Rising v1.25b Public Release!

Heyo have Mei's final event! it's more of a formality than an event at this point, but still, it's something that we should have regardless, especially since there's a neat scene that comes with it. We also managed to get an extra non-sexy scene for the event, but I don't know how much most of y'all would care about that haha. Personally I think it enhances the scene though.
