Artist is wrapping up the final images and faces. We had to redo one so those will all be in on Thursday. From there I can get them in the game and wrap up the face animations. There are 16 poses and many of them have face animations to do so I'm hesitant to give an ETA until I've made some more progress, but it won't be much longer.
2023-10-24 22:56:23 +0000 UTC View PostWe finally got some new posable drawing reference models to replace the Zaku 2.0 we've been using
Just a heads-up but we're changing the names of the support tiers. There's no difference to the rewards or cost, just making it more on theme and intuitive.
New names will be:
Basic → Copper
Premium → Silver
Ultra → Gold
Artist is finishing the last background for version 0.13 today and the release should be wrapped up within a week. Version 0.12b just dropped with some updates to the menu UI and game systems. Previously viewed gallery scenes will probably no longer be unlocked, but you can fix this by entering "RIPHARAMBE" into the cheat code screen to unlock e...

We're about half way through July and we're making good progress on the upcoming 0.13 release. All 3 new character sprites are done along with their faces, clothing, and poses. Artist has 4 more scenes and 3 backgrounds left to go. If we remain on track...
2023-07-15 22:42:56 +0000 UTC View PostVersion 0.12 is just about done. Escape Artist finished up the last of the artwork on Wednesday and I've been adding everything in. Story-wise 0.12 is a very short update since the scene immediately following this requires new sprites and locations that are getting bundled into version 0.13. We both have extra time this summer so we're targeting...

Version 0.12 is nearly complete and is on track for a June release.
For June, July, & August we'll be aiming for faster 30-day releases to finish the last few story beats following the conclusion of the prologue chapter. We'll be introducing the final 2 main characters and 2 new side characters.
After these faster releases we'll ...

Version 0.11 is coming along nicely and is on schedule for release towards the end of March. We'll be introducing several new locations and one of the new characters, Asana, who won last month's pinup. As of tonight Escape Artist will only have 2.5 images left to complete, and I've been working on a few missing features that will be going live t...
2023-03-12 19:46:38 +0000 UTC View PostProgress is taking a bit longer than expected. Escape Artist is finished with all of her artwork and at this point I'm going through adding all of it into the game. Most of it is finished but I still have a list of 40 tasks left to go. Most of the tasks are things like animating faces for individual scenes that have updated artwork, but I have a...
2023-01-03 04:18:37 +0000 UTC View PostRelease was planned for this evening but it looks like it needs just one more day in the oven. Escape Artist is on pace to finish the last of the touch ups late this evening, but putting them all into the game adds some extra hours. We're on the final stretch though.
2022-12-31 00:34:48 +0000 UTC View PostFinal 0.10 release is coming Friday evening. Escape Artist is working on some new templates that we can use to keep faces consistent, then spending the rest of the week using them as a reference point to touch up as many scenes with wonky looking faces as possible. After Friday we'll switch back to our 60-day release window. It's all coming toge...

The artist is wrapping up the last new scene for version 0.10 this weekend. After that is final polish. I've also been going through adding new effects where I can. We're on the final stretch.

We're making a lot of progress on the final 0.10 release. So far I've added a few more visual effects like a really cool looking time of day fade transition and the artist is making good progress on the additional scenes. Most notably we left a little bit of the final action scene and an additional main story scene with Remi out of the snapshot ...

As promised, the unnumbered supporter snapshot version is finally ready to play, but you'll need a new save file due to some changes we made to decision trees. More major changes are being made to all new and existing dialogue in the full 0.1...

Artist finished the last required scene for the unnumbered supporter pre-release today. I've been using the extra time to continue adding as much as I can. I have about 4-5 hours left of scripting to duct tape everything back together into a playable release which I'll finish up tomorrow. A lot of the major choice tracking variables under the ho...

The last essential scene for the unnumbered update is taking a bit longer than we thought. The artist still has one final sequence to add in. I'm using the extra time to finally add music to the script. The music files aren't fully mastered with the final instruments yet so they'll sound very .midi until the official 0.10 release but the melodie...

Hey everyone, we were hoping to finish up the last of the essential artwork for the unnumbered release by tomorrow evening but we still have a little ways to go. We should have it wrapped up by the end of next weekend instead if not a little bit sooner. We also hit a snag with the formatting of the 5 possible festival night h-scenes & romanc...

Hey everyone, now that we're getting close to the end of the build we have a pretty clear idea of the time frame for the upcoming release. We have 3 required art assets left to complete but with the month ending on a Friday we're going to need one more weekend to finish up. The unnumbered supporter release should be all set by Monday 10/3.
Hey everyone, it looks like we have a solid timeline for the upcoming release. In short, we're going to drop an unnumbered supporter release with everything that we've completed at the end of this month so that we don't keep you all waiting any longer. It will wrap up the prologue story and have all of the good stuff. We're then going to take on...
