Status Update (again) - 12/14/22 (Patreon)

Hopefully this should be the last status update before the next update! The writing's nearly there, so right now I'm focusing on updating the last few sprites needed for the first 3 days. I'll try and get all the drawing done before I'm made to leave for Christmas, so I can finish up the writing whilst there and at least release the 3rd day(s) at the start of January.

My next priority from there will be to get everything for day 4 done (including oodles of CGs, particularly the gloryhole stuff) and release that hopefully by February's start, then try and buckle down and get day 5s done by the start of March. After that, I'll need some time to make sure that everything works properly, given the fact that some variables are being shifted around, taken out, etc, ensure that continuity is as it should be, and update the art in the game that's either unfinished or highly dated.

One more thing I should say that I may have already: As of a few weeks ago or so, I made a promise that I won't update any more sprites after this pass through- not until the game nears completion, anyhow. This means the main 5 boys designs are here to stay for quite a long time, as is Cass, Icarus, Barry, etc etc. Gone will be the days where I keep updating characters designs, even if it might inflict pain on me later :y

And as a bit of a treat(?), here's some sprites I can show you

Rob, Jehu's dad! I gave hima bit more lighter fur coloring going down his middle, changes his head structure, and gave him more booba. Very handsome man. Also changed his pose, so now you can see his ponytail!

Here's a WIP of my friend's character, Jeryl. I made this when I was getting a bit too ambitious about what all I should get done before January hits, so he'll be unfinished for a while. At least I got his base done, and that's usually the most time-consuming part of making a sprite.

Kinda slight, but I changed how Jorge's marking looks- it's much more sleek, now.

I finished that head thing from earlier too. It gave me some grief for sure, but I think he's looking better than ever. Also, after this he won't be changing for a long time!

Many of these sprite updates are currently in WIPs while I work on other things- I feel a lot better about having the sketch done than nothing at all, you see. Regardless, Isaac's gonna be getting an update that makes him truer to the references provided by his owner!

He's not showing up in game (at least, not in the main game, maybe in one of those side stories...) but ol' Fogey "Fog horn" Tyre here is cute and I felt like showin' him off! There's a lot of side characters in this world that don't have much of a reason to show up normally, so I'm hoping that side story will be a great chance to explore the world at large and the ramifications of events that take place within the main story...

That's all I'm gonna show off for now, but I hope y'all are having a great time here at the end of the year. January's always a turning point for me when it comes to this game. Been like that ever since I had to make the change to my own art about two years ago (I think). I hope this upcoming January is a promise of what's to come, and a fresh opportunity for more hot dads!

See you all soon!
