Weekly Update (08/08/2022)

Added 2022-08-09 03:08:16 +0000 UTC

Hello everyone! These weeks are starting to feel faster and faster. First things first: That embed for Annie's sprites was totally broken last week. Oops. Here it is again, sorry about that:

With that out of the way, let's talk about the new stuff this week! First off, we're now in the thick of the sprite work. We figured out a much smarter and more compact way to display different sprites to the screen, which first and foremost means it's much easier and faster to do the sprite work for the game. To say we're glad to have found this method is... an understatement. However, it also means we're able to do some cute stuff with the sprites during dialogue! Right now we're considering bringing a bit more life to everyone with some animation between expressions. Personally, we think it's adorable, but we're curious what everyone thinks! Here's an example, so let us know:

Additionally, we've got a sketch now for Jade's sex scene in this update. In the interest of not spoiling people on the sex scenes (we all know how important they are), instead of embedding them directly, we're always gonna put it attached to this post. You guys can choose to click on it if you want that spoiled. So, there it is attached for those who want to see it early!

Since the next few weeks are mainly going to be sprite work, there may start to be less and less to show for art each week. As we gain experience with all this gamedev stuff, hopefully we can give better estimates and maybe even put a little progress bar on our Patreon page for you guys. But for now, just know that steady progress is constantly being made! Thanks once more for all the support. We'll see you all next week :)
