Happy holidays from Tango Fiction!
First of all let me apologize for being quiet lately. I’ve just been crunching the to do list down and trying to keep myself from getting burned out by switching up tasks as often as possible. I felt bad I didn’t finish .61 yet so I started working on more content and now it’s the end of the month a...

Happy late Halloween everyone!
It’s Space Explorer Taylor! Much like me, she appears to have fallen into an alternate dimension that might include a time dilation paradox.
The last month has disappeared in a blur. It’s been stressful trying to get everything I want done but certain real life priorities must come ahead of making s...

Discount Wishes is a comic about the perils of using a discounted magic item.
This is the first of about two hundred comic ideas I have kicking around. It was supposed to be the easiest to make but it did end up taking a fair bit of time and I have a new appreciation for the amount of work it takes to make one. The process should get smoot...

Hi.
So far this month I’ve split my time into a few different areas.
I reshot several scenes in the Transfigure 3D demo and bumped up the CG count by about 50. I also plan to reshoot the beginning segments of the game that still contain graphical errors. I’ve also continued experimenting with different assets in order to fill in ...

"Some weirdo left a comment saying I look like Bambi. They are totally wrong! I'm not a fawn! I'm a bunny." *Taylor smiles, raising her hands and wiggling her fingers to look like antlers.* "Or am I?" she teases.
Just a quick post showing off three bust size variations with the better fitting bunny suit. The large size is fairly...

Wow, this summer went by so quickly! This post marks roughly a year since I started my 3D endeavors in earnest. It was mainly spent climbing a fairly steep learning curve but now that I am becoming more proficient on the art side I am going to try to switch gears to production while still trying to improve along the way.
As the Transfigure...

Hello!
Here’s the latest version of the Transfigure 3D demo! We are at E now. E stands for Erotic!
Graphic improvements are the primary focus of this update.
In a previous post I mentioned some of the graphic improvements and size reductions so that is a major plus in this version. It weighs in about 400 megabytes now d...

Alright I finally got a Julie model I am pretty happy with. I am showing off a few renders and requesting comments before I start shooting scenes.
Originally Julie has brown eyes but when I was experimenting I found that in general the darker eyes made her look like she had a singular sort of death-glare. That's kind of okay in well lit ...
Hi Tango Friends!
I've been experimenting with some alternate art styles and AI services in my free time. Here are the results of some attempts to recreate Hart with a bit of photoshop to clean up all the weirdness that AI art naturally creates.
I am intrigued by the results! AI is controversial but I think it is here to stay, espec...

Here is my mostly finished male Hart model (his starting form at the beginning of the G-Con story). I think he turned out okay. I’m happy with him. The resemblance is strong with enough distance between male and female that no one will confuse the two plus I have room to make the transitioning forms more interesting.
They could easily be...

It has been years coming but I finally added more of Louise's story. It even has a pretty spiffy song. I also wrote a music tune for it so one day maybe it will get produced for the Transfigure movie in 2039.
There are a few pieces that got broken off this update but they will pop up soon. Lots of misc improvements added in this update. 2023-08-02 01:17:45 +0000 UTC View Post
I worked on the new update most of day and I'm cutting off .60 I just need to do my final play test and proofread and then upload. It will come out late tonight or tomorrow.
In other development news, I have some significant improvements to announce. Thanks to the feedback of several patrons and other 3D artists, I have applied some extr...
The newest demo is finally growing into something resembling a visual novel! It now includes Evan and yellow potion content! Yay. There are a bunch of new graphics and tweaks including a few expanded scenes.
I have also finally learned how to fix the color of YP Taylor’s hair which has been an endless struggle recently. For now it is th...
Okay, I couldn't resist. There is too much Hart art!!
The cute redhead is Hart, the protagonist of Goddess Connection. He is a man cursed with a connection to the goddess Anyo. The more he uses this connection and relies on his new magic, the magic gradually pushes Hart’s body to mirror the form of the goddess he is...
Here you can see a banner with Taylor transitioning to her most powerful form, bunny Taylor.
Power levels from left to right are 10, 8, 1600, and 9999.
I've been messing around making some banners and promotional materials. Any routes, outfits, or transformations you'd like to see highlighted?
Lots of updates coming soon!

It has been years since the walkthrough has been updated so it needed a lot of work. I think there are four or five fan walkthroughs but I am qualified to make the first one and keep it simple so that’s why I put some time into it this month. It was a lot easier to explore the massive story web without lag on my new setup to jot things down. 2023-07-18 02:10:25 +0000 UTC View Post
As I am putting the finishing touches on .60 html, I realize that I have built up a bunch of content without posting so rather than stress myself out and dump 10 posts after a long silence I am going to try and put out some of what I have since some of it is pretty cool!
I am releasing Craig and Tim’s model for comment as well as some ot...

It’s been a while since I posted. I hurt myself last month in a stupid accident so I haven’t been as productive as I’d like but things are moving along. I can now sit at my computer without extreme pain again so I’m back at it with more regular hours. I did quite a bit of dev work and writing this month.
The 3D project and the html...

Hi. Here’s the first Transfigure 3D update. It’s been about five years since I did a Ren’Py demo so there were bound to be issues and that’s why I wanted to release the first bit as kind of a pre-test. The only way to learn is to do it!
The first release was not that great. It was buggy and missing a lot of CG, many of which I acci...

I am excited to finally release an initial concept demo of Transfigure 3D! The full demo should be out later this month but the patrons of Tango Fiction get a sneak peak.
When I first started Tango Fiction my goal was to get to the point I could produce a quality VN experience and this is the next major step in that journey.

Hi!
It’s time for a progress update for the Transfigure 3D demo. I’ve worked on it for loads of hours this month and did many experiments with different 3D elements like cloth physics. Some of these simulations took up to an hour each and I did many dozens of them plus all the rendering has truly proven the value of the hardware upgrad...

Here’s some more 3D content from the past couple months. For starters we have Occulus assassin Taylor testing out some blood effects. 😮 Don’t stray from the light, Taylor! I also included some “Taylor Unlocked” models. You can probably speculate on how some of the pieces will fit together if you’ve played through all of the existing...

Hi.
Did an entire month disappear into a time vortex? I think so. Sorry for sucking but that’s kind of what hummingbirds do, especially the poor ones 😀
.59 is live. It includes four new endings and the long awaited saga with the greatest of the great, Zen Master Peeshi!
Peeshi is one of my favorite characters to write dial...

The Ren’Py demo development is progressing well. This month I’ve done hundreds of test renders and experiments to produce more complete graphics. There is a lot of familiarization, learning, and mistake fixing but I'm happy with the pace.
I tested several different background styles and decided that since I now have the equipment and m...

Hi!
My goal for this month is to release two html updates and answer one of the key 3D questions blocking me from producing fully complete CG, mainly what I am doing for backgrounds. There are essentially four choices, 2D backgrounds (pictures), HDRI backgrounds, full 3D backgrounds, and blurred / bokeh or a combination.

Here is an updated Samantha model taking into account some patron feedback. A special thanks to Sentimental Penguin and Harley for chipping in with some helpful suggestions! I think I reduced Sam’s MILF level by at least 20% and replaced it with cuteness. The changes are mostly subtle but I think they make an impact. I also changed Sam’s eye...

Adding content to Ren Py allows me another chance to read through and edit it. This has led to a major round of polish editing for the whole game. I’ve caught a lot of errors that shouldn’t exist at this point. At first I was updating all of the changes to the html version but that was becoming too slow for each inconsequential tiny fix so I...

If you guessed Christmas Yellowpotion Taylor you are correct. I’d have also taken Reindeer or cute and festive YP Taylor or something along those lines.
