Video - villagers (extended)

Hi everybody.

In all of our updates so far, we have had a number of nameless extras who have often been there to add to a scene or a background visually, and they sometimes have a few lines of dialogue. Here you see Chestnut creating a few of those extras for 0.6. 

This video is at x8 speed, and I hope you like it.

Video - a hammer

Hi everybody.

As you know, Chestnut has been working on the Myrtle-Rose event (both the sex scene and the cutscenes), but we don't want to share more artworks from that event for now. So for this week's video, Chestnut worked on one of the earlier cutscenes we were missing instead. There are a lot of similar images that are simple and quic...

Weekly report 100

Hi everybody.

I hope you're all feeling well and are looking forward to enjoying your weekend. 

Last week, we spent the bulk of our time working on the threesome. Chestnut created two sets of layered images for the sex scene, and I animated them (two different animations), but going through the whole event, they didn'...

Hi everybody.

Off days

Last week, we took a day off for my birthday, and it was great to spend time with our families and just chill, but I had forgotten to mention it in the weekly report, so if you saw us not updating the daily progress tracker, that was the reason.

Now that all birthdays are done, though, we...

Weekly report 98

Hi everybody.

First of all, thank you to all of you who commented on the last post and on our Discord server and shared your thoughts about our approach to releasing content. 

I don't think running a poll will be necessary, as the vast majority of players seemed to indicate either preferring more content even if they ...

Weekly report 97

Hi, everybody.

Before the report, I want to ask everyone to chime in and let us know what you think about the way we release our content. For the last few updates (0.4, 0.5, and the currently in-development 0.6), we've tried to prepare a large amount of content for each release, aiming to either finish a character's story (Myrtle & Ros...

Video - hugging Rose

Hi, everybody.

Although Rose is not as huggy as say Myrtle, there are definitely a few instances where she and the MC hug each other (and kiss), and the creation of this sprite addition is what you see here. This video is at x6 speed, and I hope you enjoy it.

Cheers

PS. If you like it, we may be able to record the ki...

Video - Rose naked

Hi, everybody.

Here's a video showing the creation of a cutscene from Rose's second quest. The final result will be slightly different (we have had to edit it a little for this video so as not to spoil too much), but you can see the pose and the overall feel of the image. This video is at x5 speed, and I hope you like it.

Weekly report 93

Hi, everybody.

I hope you're all doing great. Here's a summary of what we did last week:

Chestnut:

She finished the sprite she was working on. This was a rather difficult one since the character in question has several sizes and needed to be done in a way that would work depending on events and varia...

Weekly report 92

Hi, everybody.

I hope you're all doing well. We've had a rather busy week, and here's a summary of what we did:

Chestnut:

She worked on two cutscenes, one background, and one new character (the final antagonist that Rose and the MC will face). We did share a video last week of one of the extra artwor...

Video - gold elemental

Hi, everybody.

In one of the new 0.6 locations, there's a painting of a gold elemental hung on the wall above the fireplace. You see the beginning of the creation of that painting here in this video (at x7 speed).

I hope you like it.

Poll results - the next extra location

Hi, everybody.

In the last weekly report, I mentioned that the poll determining the next extra location had been concluded, and in the image included with this post, you can see how Close Friend and Best Friend tier patrons voted for each of the planned backgrounds.

As you can see, the Twins' buildings got the highest votes, and the ...

Video - a cutscene

Hi everybody.

Here's a video from one of the upcoming events where Rose holds the MC's finger in her mouth. We thought it could be a cool artwork, and so Chestnut recorded its coloring process.

This video is at x4 speed, and I hope you enjoy it.

Weekly report 89

Hi everybody.

First, I want to let you all know that in the coming week, we'll run a poll (open to Close Friend and Best Friend tier patrons) to determine the next extra location that we will add to the game (in 0.6 if we have the time, otherwise in 0.7). We want to expand the world gradually, and although some areas will be req...
