Update Post - State of the Build (03/12)
Added 2020-03-12 11:59:17 +0000 UTCHeyo! We're back with another update on how things are going. We'll yet again split it up in each of our specific parts. If there are any questions or feedback on your mind please feel free to either comment or write something on our discord as well! We plan on making it more active in the future, once the alpha build actually releases. Without further ado, here are our updates:
Veila (Artist)
In the last update I talked about finishing the normal animations for the fairy and that's done! I also mentioned that I might do some cum-animations more detailed and I am currently doing that! Another thing I actually finished was a completely different 18+ animation for the fairy.
An important decision we made: Every character is going to have a set of normal 18+ animations and a completely different one that is either used for another attack or the game over!
Masker (Programming)
I am almost finished with the part that was one of the biggest pieces of work I have to do for the alpha, which was the dialogue system. Everything after that is smaller in comparison, so things will most likely be smooth sailing from there on.
Avan (Design/Writing)
A lot of things have happened in writing, which were kind of scary. The first concept of the dialogue trees I made were very difficult. The trees were way too big with too many options everywhere causing the scenes to drag out for too long and making work impossible to keep up for me. So I decided to try and rework them. I think I found a way to make them much shorter and easier to deal with without losing the choice and different paths I planned from the beginning. Going through them will feel much smoother now and not destroy the pacing of the gameplay.
That does mean I had to start anew, although work on writing alone has halfed, making me able to do things way faster in the future and focus on other aspects like level design way more.
A few more things that we were asked to answer:
Which fetishes are you not going to include?
First off there will only be very minor gore aspects (seeing how zombies are a thing for example) and they wont be handled in a graphic manner.
When it comes to other fetishes, we cannot exactly say as it's difficult to consider everything that's out there. But the certain "No"s are:
- Vore
- Scat/Fart
- Gay (Male. There's only our main character in the city, so not many options there!)
- Vomit
- Furry (At least not full on! There will be animal-humans with their animalistic arms, legs, tails and ears for example)
If there are any you'd like to know about, feel free to ask and we will answer them. It's just impossible to list everything out there! We hope that gave you kind of an idea though.
What exactly is the setting of your game?
As you maybe have seen with the designs we published, we plan to go for something more modern than the usual Monster Girl games, although we still want to have a fantasy aspect to it. It wont be all that realistic as the city will be completely distorted and a lot of locations will have their special flair that doesn't exist in real life. As we mentioned in a forum post before, we plan on giving characters and areas personality that brings everything to life.
We yet again want to thank you a ton for your support so far. We hope and aim to live up to your expectations and the progress we have made has not only been fun to work on but also went by pretty well without too many issues. I hope you are excited for the 2 scenes for the characters decision and getting your hands on the playable version soon.
One more thing: We do plan to have the Fairy Game Over Animation revealed for the public on Twitter, so non-patrons can get an idea of how an 18+ Animation is going to look like! It's most likely one of the very few ones that we will show publicly. Please look forward to hearing more from us!
