Soulgasm Captain's Log #11 - September2023 (Patreon)

Greetings my GORRRRRRGEOUS sailors!

It has been a hot minute since our last Soulgasm update, and what a great time for this Cap'n to repair such neglect! So let's dive into last month's developments for our game, me hearties!!

September has blessed us with so many new things happening all of a sudden, and we finally start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. The whole team is working really hard, and even though there are some big waves on our way we don't change the direction! 🍿🍻🍿

😍😍😍 We launched Soulgasm Steam Page! 😍😍😍

FlashUpdate: We ALSO launched Soulgasm itch.io page! - And it looks gorgeous! 🥵🥵🥵

And while the Steam Page is still under construction (We are still working on the trailer), this Cap'n is more than happy to invite you to check it out and, most importantly, to ask you to wishlist it! So we can defeat the waves of Steam and its unforgiving algorithm, a true test of fire! - Your support in spreading the word is immensely valuable to this cappy and the future of this smutty adventure! :3

🔮 Progress tracker is back!

Due to popular demand, we are bringing back the progress tracker so that you know how we are doing! The tracking is now more accurate since most of the tasks are noted down in very big bad spreadsheets, no more impromptu, "yolo"-driven development decisions for this team of Eromancers 🥲🥲🥲

The tracker is calculated for the game Demo, So we shall bring a new one when this one is done!

Disclaimer: Lucky to us, not all these bars need to be at 100% for demo to be playable! So worry not, we are closer than you think!. 😍😍😍

Current status for the DEMO RELEASE:

🔧 Technical Update

Another month of development brings us a big set of improvements and some new cool things on top. Let's dive in:

• We've added a book-reading system to serve you some extra lore, 📖
• Introduced quick-time events to some of the dialogues, so watch out!
• A whole new minigame - get oiled up and dirty with Engineering,
• Added sparkly magical VFX to the Tarot mini-game,
• Continuing to pixel-push our dialogue box (you wouldn't believe how much we discuss this) and the conversation camera system,
• Added expressions for Nova, so she can throw proper tantrums now,
• Began integrating content - backgrounds, more UI, animations AND some SPICY scenes (extra hot 🧨),
• Reworked the light rendering system for our animation rigs - the Captain sailed out to the Sea of Shaders‍⛵,
• Getting all menu functionalities ready for assets - Romance, Inventory, and Skills screens are up and running!
• Developed a cheeky little mechanic for all the voyeur enthusiasts 👀,
• Working on an additional room exploration system - sneak around when nobody's watching 🔎,
• Lots of small fixes, improvements, and developments all around: UI flows, dialogue system, transition animations, minigame logic etc.

📝 Writing

We added another big batch of dialogues!

In Soulgasm Demo you will have 64 dialogue events to discover, from which only seven are still on our to-do list, and the rest are either finished or waiting for the Team's approval! Some of them are waiting in their queue to get into Unity, but after this is done, the amazing writer will move on to add more lore and side content for you to enjoy! 👀

🎨Art

We have lots of art in progress and a nice chunk of art already finished!

• We've finalized all the demo backgrounds set in the morning light. Now it's time to explore other times of the day 🌞🌛
• The main world map is nearly complete 🌎,
• Intro cinematic art is done (that was a biggie, but it's for 5 minute long video!) 🎥

• Nova's steamy sex scene is completed and animated,

• Moruga's mystical sex scene is in progress! 🃏
• We are now progressing at full speed with visual novel slides to spice up the dialogues 🎨
• All the animation rigs are getting some extra love to fulfill this annoying Cap'n highest visual expectations 🍿🍿🍿
• Last but certainly not least, Mr. Bow has received a charming redesign. We hope you'll appreciate his new Mr.Daddy appearance 👀👀👀

🧙‍♂️ Team update

Art production is accelerating! The squishiest SHARKIRA has joined our sailing adventure as one of a kind art sidekick to our small but fierce Art Team. Don't let her pointy teeth fool you, she only nibbles on painting brushes 🦈

🧠 Final Thoughts

These and many more updates are available on https://www.patreon.com/thatwashot for you to check out for free, and many more spicy and revealing updates are waiting for those who dare to join and support us there as well!

It is thanks to my beautiful sailors that this promise is becoming a reality and as such, ye shall have access to the demo long before its public release, once it is ready and polished enough for you to enjoy!

Soulgasm's Steam Page is now live, and our progress tracker has made a triumphant return. We are hoping that you are enjoying watching the progress as much as we do, especially now that we are getting closer to our shared destination!

Thank you so much for making this a reality, me hearties! Let's make this adventure one for the ages!!
