Time for a spooky progress update. What's spooky is how long this shit is taking.
So I've had to do even more revamping of core systems. The most recent thing is the inflation system and breathing systems. They already underwent a big set of changes, but I realized things just weren't going to function without more work put into them...
2020-11-01 00:57:08 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, I'm sorry to say I'm surrendering to the evil forces of time. I can't do it by midnight. We're at the eleventh hour and I'm STILL finding assets that need to be remade, and visual glitches that need more code and debugging to fix. There's still a list of existing bugs and unfinished pieces of UI to clear as well. So this'll be an O...
2020-10-01 06:54:32 +0000 UTC View PostHokay, so! My goal is to push out an update late tonight.
I've finished meshing the new manes and most of the rig testing. There's still some rig work to finish up with bounding boxes and fixing up the non-ponies. There's also one more mechanic I want to add to the penetration system to allow it to detect constricting factors around ...
2020-09-30 15:08:15 +0000 UTC View Postyep, I'm slow. still plonking along >.<'
Here's where I'm at: I just finished putting all the art assets for this update into the rigs. That took a bit, since the layering around the heads and manes needs a lot of fiddling. I still need to mesh them so they animate properly, which should take about a day. After that, I need to test a...
2020-09-22 08:33:07 +0000 UTC View PostSo here's the state of things. I've just received the bulk of the art assets I need. That means the main bottleneck is gone and I can finally finish this update. While I've been (impatiently) waiting for that, I've been using this time to flesh out the game subsystems that interact with the main feature of this update- deepthroating.&nb...
2020-09-12 21:13:55 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys, since this update won't be done before midnight, I'm dropping some placeholder links here. If you've canceled your pledge for next month, just save this info and you'll be able to access the next build once it's live :3

2020-09-01 02:06:29 +0000 UTC View PostHeyo, progress update time :3
The big feature coming in this next update is oral/deepthroating. I'm psyched to finally be able to put this in the game. It's "working", but I'm not sure if I'll be ready to post it in the next day or two, so I wanted to let y'all know what's up.
The main holdup is the art assets- every character's head...

A smaller update this time! This one's kind of an in-between update, since the major feature I'm working on - oral/deepthroating - isn't done yet. This version just contains the stuff I was able to finish up today.
Tier 2+ patrons can test it out early here!&nbs...

It's time! This one's a content-focused update, adding dragons, griffons, and ponies, as well as mouth and face additions, and some more fun stuff. I ended up tunnel-visioning pretty hard on this one. Bad habits are hard to break >.<
This update includes artwork from PussPuss (dragons and griffons), ParclyTaxel (non-pony vector...

Well, everything's late, as always. Somehow, I'm still genuinely surprised by this.
Anyway, Factory time! Last time we left off, we had working pipes, a milking machine, and a refining machine.
It looked like this. 2020-06-01 07:39:41 +0000 UTC View Post
Still alive!
The code for Factory's fluid system and breeding cycles was more difficult than I gave them credit for, so it's been slow, but I think we're on track for a Factory and SHF3 update in the next week-ish. The plan is still the same: show all the machine mechanics in Factory working together, and a character-based content update f...
2020-05-22 20:35:10 +0000 UTC View PostBad news first- no new build :'(
It's not for lack of progress, though! April has been a bit different. I've been diving deep on Factory's code. At the same time, I've been delegating SHF3 assets to a team of artists. Things are going well on both fronts, but neither of these things are quite ready to show off yet. Here's what's c...

Hello from quarantine! This experimental update brings two major features: cum tubes and body part configuration. The second one is highly technical so it might actually be worth reading a lil' of this post.

Starting with the sheaths- Now, the sheath toy can be resized, and tightness is a factor. Sheaths on dicks use the same basic logic as dildos in orifices. Tighter sheaths are more pleasurable, but too much...

I should say, "Inflation mark 1". This is my first try at adding fluid and inflation features to this game. It's pretty WIP.
Thanks to the fluids work I've been doing on Factory, I was able to port over some of the basic fluid systems. SHF3 npcs are a lot more complicated though, so it had to be spruced up quite a bit. There's a LOT of pot...
2020-02-07 02:30:38 +0000 UTC View Posttldr- skip to the gifs linked near the bottom.
Okay, so. Factory. I have no idea what y'all are expecting out of this first post. This is the result of a few solid weeks of work, after my progress being thwarted early on. I recorded my dev process this time. Dunno if this sort of thing is actually interesting, but I figured it'd b...

I decided to put SHF3 on hold for the past couple of weeks. I don't dislike working on it but a break has been good for my sanity. In the meantime, I've been working on Factory. The g...
