Cum layering preview

Edit: the embedded video doesn't work for me. Click here instead.

[Abelius]: Hi guys,

We're getting "there", and as more systems are getting implemented more funny things can be pu...

Gilead is coming... fast. :-P

[Abelius]: Hello guys,

These are sad days for freedom of speech and open creativity in our community.

I don’t think many of you will have missed how Patreon has become the Spanish Inquisition and is suspending other creators’ accounts far and wide but yeah, they’re doing it alright and forcing people to “sanitize” (lol...

Female tent preview

[Abelius]: I know I've been not too sociable and/or showy in recent times, so here's a little something after being experimenting a little with particle effects. All that smoke is supposed to be incense...

That will be the female communal tent in the game. Not too spoilery, I hope. ^_^

Art Streams, Change of Hardware, and Apologies.

Hello, how are you all? I'm just here to say that starting next week, I'll finally start working on 0.2 stuff, even without having released 0.1 yet (Indie development isn't easy!). A lot has happened and I was so sure we would have made it this month (please, read Abelius latest post), but not yet, so I'm not giving you guys any more dates. I'm ...

RL getting in the way

[Abelius]: Hello guys,

Here I am, yet again, to relate my life to you people.

IÂ’ll be honestÂ…: not in my worst nightmares, I would have seen myself in late October, the year 2017, without a playable first version of LOK Rebirth.

When I left my regular job back in June, to focus on the project, I thought it would be ready for ...

Work continues...

[Abelius]: Hi there guys.

Long time I didn't post anything so, even if there's not much to say, here's a brief status update.

The title says all: we're working hard to see if we can release ASAP.

I'd also like to take the chance to remind you of the T...

Streaming boobies for a while... ^_^

So, 'Big' won the 'Which default boobies should Krys have?' poll. Therefore, I'll proceed to the sacred duty of changing them in Spine.

I know I won't be interrupted for some hours (it's night here), so if you want to take a brief look you could do it here. Just be warned th...

The time has come... to choose Krys BOOBS!! :-D

Full body comparison here

[Abelius]:

Hey guys,

As some of you may know by looking at our Trello board, I still have to start work on Krys' new b...

[Abelius]: Hi there!

We've been working hard these past days. Kuja on critical backgroun...

New 'Suggestions' list on Trello & public comments enabled

[Abelius]: Hi there,

We're finding Trello to be a great tool for us to organize our work, and for you people to have a way to check on our progress.

So we're expanding the board with another list...

'Suggestions' will be the leftmost one, meant for itemize your ideas and store them in a place where we don't for...

Streaming a little today

https://picarto.tv/Abelius

[Abelius]:

It's not something I usually do, mainly due to forgetting to setup OBS up, but I guess there's no problem in showing me playing with virtual boobies for those of you curious enough.

After some hours it g...

New Trello board to track progress

[Abelius]: Hi there!

I know I mentioned we would be updating you guys on progress with a simple 'percentage done' chart... but I think this is a much better approach for everyone...: a Trello Kanban board.

You can check it out at: https://trello.com/b/bMliZ...

v0.1 will be public

[Abelius]: Just wanted to tell you people this. Because when you think about all the time we've been taken, it kind of makes sense to offer our first really playable version free for all.

Also, I've decided that instead of (ever again) giving a release date, we'll publish a list of 'percentage done of pending tasks'. That...

Countdown aborted... here's why.

[Abelius]: ItÂ’s a week before the planned launch on Sep 15th. I have five days left (canÂ’t work this weekend for family reasons), and I clearly see I didnÂ’t aim well at the date.

When I returned from vacation, I thought that 20 days would be all I needed to complete my vision of the first playable LoK:Rebith version. That throwing 12 ...

Days 6-8/20 to v0.1 + WIP preview

ItÂ’s been three days without an actual status reportÂ…

Unfortunately, designing and implementing quests is not something very exciting, unless you want to release some heavy spoilers. And we donÂ’t want that.

So, IÂ’ll whine instead (again, but only a little this time) about my quest of making questsÂ… ?

You know, LoK:Rebirth ...

Permanent Discord invites for $50 lifetime patrons

Hi there,

As you may know, we recently added a Discord reward to Blood Bound patrons. We set it to that tier level forÂ… mental sanity reasons, you may say. ? We need to focus on development and keeping a low population server IS a good idea.<...

v0.1 vs Demo ?

[Abelius]: One of you guys have asked about what v0.1 will entail, compared to the demo. And to be honest, I donÂ’t remember if we actually explained that in detail. So today, instead of a status report, IÂ’ll write some lines about it.

In a nutshell, v0.1 will introduce actual gameplay in the village.

WeÂ’re preparing a lot of locat...

Day 5/20 to v0.1

[Abelius]:

Thank you, guys, for your “get well” messages and understanding. ?

Good news is that I woke up today with only a headache, and knowing my common ailments as good as I know them, I went to spray some salted water up my nostrils. Congest...

Finishing More Locations

[Kuja] Hey there, nothing special to say, just that I'm actually having fun while drawing these. I'm improving, slowly, but improving at drawing BG's and there is a lot of houses/tents to fill!

Days 3-4/20 to v0.1

[Abelius]:

Hi there,

I didnÂ’t have a good day yesterday. As I mentioned in the previous post, my plan was to start coding th...

Day 2/20 to v0.1

[Abelius]:

So, all the scene backgrounds are finally done for v0.1.

And now the "only" related thing that remains is to actually distribute objects in the tents interiors. A task I was going to do myself until I remembered I have the same artistic taste as an Uruk-hai... ?

So Kuja will make sure of maintaining the same quality standar...

v0.1 final stretch: Day 1/20

[Abelius]:

Hi there!

This is the first day of full work since IÂ’ve returned from my family vacation. And man, how much better I work in my garage... no more distractions and no neck pain! ?

Apart from some breaks and stopping for pedestrian ...

Q: Would you be interested in beta testing as an additional Blood Bound "reward"?

[Abelius]: Before you jump straight to cast your vote, mind that playing a release candidate version might degrade your gaming experience.

To be honest, I see this more like a help for me at finding bugs than a reward for you guys. And the last thing I'd want is to spoil the fun for you.

Nevertheless, this would consist of releasing ...

v0.1 Release Date and lengthy epic battle speechÂ… :-P

[Abelius]: Hi people,

A lot of you are asking for a release date for v0.1, which is understandable taking into account that I felt so sure of myself as to promise monthly updatesÂ… :-P

Well, that promise is still on the table and we will try to uphold it for future content updates, but 0.1 has turned out to be far more than just an Â...

Small August Update

Krys Wet Fur/Skin Comparisson

Video: Waterfall area preview

[Abelius]: I've just finished animating the waterfall on the river area. A place with so many possibilities... ;-)

And I guess this needs a proper video to show what you could expect, so here it is. I hope Vimeo doesn't shoot it down because of some toony nips.

August Small Update

Krys Front Pose(body only).

Poll: How much RAM do you have?

These past days I've been worried about memory consumption... :-P

One guy at the forum had problems getting the game to display backgrounds and it turned out to be that his video card was pretty old and incapable of rendering textures bigger t...

Useless Status Update

Hi There!

We donÂ’t have anything awesome to announce, but we know status updates are an important part of any project.

Work is continuing even as I, personally (Abelius), am on family vacation. To be honest, I’m more like a ‘chauffeur’ for them, so I still have time to have my mind and hands on development.

In fact, you can...

Mac and Linux builds!

Hey guys, I'm happy to announce that this morning I've tried again to compile a Mac build and, to my utter shock, it didn't throw me any errors at all. :mrgreen: So... could you take a test drive for me? I don't own a Mac and to be honest, I can't provide support related to platform specific problems apart from Windows. But I also don't expect to u...
