1/26 Status Update (Patreon)

This week I mostly spent my time on the Netoria Tactics Steam release. It's coming along pretty well. I think it won't take much longer, next month is pretty likely unless some part of the art production really falls behind. This week the improved grope cut ins were delivered so let's look at one of those.

Wow, the characters actually look like the ones in game! Amazing! These cut ins have been a major complaint about the game since it first came out and with these every interaction with Gwen in it will have her in the art and not a generic mystery woman.

Besides the improved art, I've also been working on the new female Carwyn content. Now if you're on the female Carwyn route, during the late game camp exploration scenes she'll be in her female form, and the conversations will be adjusted to reflect that. There are now three female Carwyn endings. The current one, Conquerors, will happen if you defeat Cythraul in the final battle. If Cythraul wins, you'll get a new ending called Dragoons. And if you're on both the Gwen slut and female Carwyn route, you'll get a unique ending called Pirates. This should make the outcomes much more satisfying than what happens in the current game.

The female Carwyn stuff isn't part of the Steam version, it'll be a free update that comes out around the same time. And then after that I've finally start work on the Golden Route. That should be a fun one, it will be very different than every other route that's in the game currently.

Next let's talk about At the Mountains of Friendship. I don't have much to say because 1.2 just came out, but work is already underway on Sk8er.

Wow, look at that cool kickflip! Or whatever she's doing idk. This design is still a work in progress, but it gives you an idea of what kind of vibe the character is going for. This character is going to have less overt sex acts in their scenes and more be about the public exposure side of exhibitionism. So things will happen like her accidentally flashing her tits as she does a sick 720 and stuff like that. I think it will be refreshing to have a character arc that doesn't go touch peepee -> lick peepee -> insert peepee into vagina. This game is about variety in content after all.

As for pairings, I think Emma would be fun, which means the pairing would be Dominique or Cynthia. And we did Cynthia recently so Emma and Dominique? Eh, seems okay but I'm not super sure about it. I might go in a different direction in the end.  

Lastly, the poll I made for Netoria Tactics 2 seems to be pretty unanimously in favor of taking my time. I don't have a problem with that, it's probably what I most would like to have happen. But patreon is a monthly thing, so if you're all fine with getting content slower I'm fine with making sure that content is as good as it can be. The budget for projects is monthly, so if an update takes twice as long in theory that's twice the money to spend on art for it. I've been narrowing down on some things for the sequel, but I still haven't it gotten all together yet. But whatever it ends up being, my main design goal is a refinement of the systems and content of the first game, not a radical overhaul.

That's all for this week. As always, thank you for your continued support.
