Achievements - video footage (short)

Hi everybody.

In this short video, you can see Chestnut finishing the artwork for one of the upcoming 0.2 achievements.

This footage is at x7 speed.

We hope you'll enjoy it.

Cheers!

Achievements - video footage (extended)

Hi everybody.

Here you can see Chestnut drawing three of the achievements obtainable in 0.2. They are not as exciting to draw as sprites, backgrounds, or more cinematic scenes but still are elements that have to be done.

We hope you'll enjoy it.
Cheers!

Teaser - a bull skull

Here is a scene from the upcoming 0.2 where the MC comes across a bovine-looking skull. He'll have to remove the creepers that have grown around it to take it home.

The MC will find this item in a new 0.2 location (Lurkden), and we hope you like it.

Cheers

0.2 status + weekly report 4 + poll results

Hello everybody.

I hope you've had a great week and are ready for the weekend.

We are at the end of our first month on Patreon (and officially being game devs), and the experience has been educational, challenging, and at the same time, rewarding. We've learned a ton about how to plan tasks and organize (first time doing d...

New sprite additions - the MC

Hi all.

We are adding new sprite expressions to the MC. 

What you see above are those that don't contain any spoilers. 

Hope you enjoy them.

Cheers

Holly's cutscene - video footage

Hi everybody.

This image belongs to a cutscene from the upcoming release. It is at x4 speed and on the shorter side since we didn't want to spoil it for you.

I think it's the first time that a character's buttocks are shown in the game, so I hope that you enjoy it! 

Cheers

WIP character - Gomira, the mercenary

Hi all.

Today Chestnut decided to take a break from cutscenes to work on sketches that she had done earlier this month. You can see the result in the cover image. This character will be called Gomira, and the MC will "encounter" her in 0.2.

About Gomira:

She's a mercenary by profession and doesn't ...

Weekly status report 3

Hi all.

Here's an outline of what we did this week:

Art:

Chestnut drew a lot of cutscenes this week. We're still missing a couple, but all the storyboards are done and tested.

She also completed all the new bag items and new sprite changes for the MC (adding hands and facial expressions).

Poll results - pussy preference

Hey.

We ran this poll to get an idea of what preferences you have. 

Many of you voted (thank you), and, as you can see, shaved and groomed got the most votes.

Poll results - hidden art 0.2

The first hidden art poll is included and for 0.2 we'll be including hidden photos from Serena and Lana.

Thank you to all of you who voted.

Cheers!

Splash panels' solo wallpapers

Hi everybody.

Some of you have asked us for wallpapers. We love making beautiful and sexy artworks to share with all of you, but that has to wait for later since Chestnut is busy drawing 0.2 content (which takes priority).

But after going through the files, I noticed that we have solo artworks for the splash pan...

Map sketches (world, Old Capital)

Hello.

We're sharing a couple of sketches of the first two maps in the game, and we hope you enjoy them.

The World

The World map was the first thing we designed when we were coming up with the story. 

I don't know how others do it, but the idea of different cities and their background he...

 Hi all.

This week's highlight has been the shout-out from the kind folks at Tora Productions (thank you!), and we have had many new patrons (hello!).

Chesnut completed two series, but we still ha...

A Shout-out to Tora Productions

Hello everyone. 

We have been active in this community for less than two weeks, and the reception has been phenomenal, not just from you the players but also from game-devs like Tora Productions. Tlaero and Mortze, who are also backing us here on Patreon (thank you!), are experienced developers, and they have promoted us ...

WIP - A new 0.2 cutscene featuring Myrtle

Here's a WIP sketch from the upcoming release. It features Myrtle at the riverside. This drawing was done earlier today from a sketch made last night (I'll upload a video footage of it later). Chestnut drew Myrtle's body from scratch and used her head from one of our assets (as a placeholder to be modified and adapted later). It is still very mu...

Avatars in the game (1)

Status update - progress bars

Hi all.

Just a quick post about the way we track our progress.

We are, currently, tracking all the different categories (art, writing, code, etc.) together and because this tracking method includes debugging, the progress may be misleading and rather skewed, implying that we are more advanced than we actually are (see the above image...

You can read a bit more about her in the crystal ball.

This footage is at x6 speed.

Note about the art: it is not always necessary to do a complete sketch before creating the button. It depends on the ...

Character sketches (Princess Serena)

Serena was one of the first characters that Chestnut designed. 

These are some pencil sketches that were done almost a year ago and the progress of coming up with her face.

Some of our characters have unique features that are not shared by others (in general). Since Serena is an elf we decided to use her pointy ears as a way to ...

A thank you message

I want to thank you all for supporting us and giving us your awesome feedback. Your ideas have been great. Many of them have touched on topics that we had not thought about before or that we can improve on in the future.

We didn't expect such an amazing response from the community. Before publishing it, we were saying that it wo...

0.2 plans and what's coming next

 Focus 

We have been creating and updating the progress bars for the next release (0.2), and although it will still change somewhat (we keep remembering new tasks that have to be added to it), it is more or less at a workable stage. 

The next version of WaL will focus entirely on the main story. Lana w...
