art update 29 (Patreon)
Content
This post will have some spoilers for the most recent build so don't read this if you want to go in blind. Btw. We've uploaded a new version(0.6.04d) with some more bugfixes so if you've been having problems this should fix them.
Well, last month was certainly pretty hectic for us! You've got your normal run of the mill thing which happens during Christmas, but the other timesink was/is the arena. It's the coder's pet(crab) project, but getting that to work took a lot more time than expected. We still have some reports about weird things happening so clearly more work needs to be done (crabs are oversized bugs anyway so no surprise there)but there's no reward for reaching a kind of crab related goal yet so don't go too crazy trying to catch them all or trying to get them to evolve!
To be clear, that evolve pic below is just a joke. In the end there will be some sort of payoff, but not quite this. Evolving your own monstergirl requires it's own game!
We do hope with all of that out of the way we can prevent being so late again with the next build. The extra time it takes us to finish naturally eats into the time we have for next months' update but we also simply don't like you having to wait longer than expected. Although the monthly updates do have their downsides, the feedback we're getting is a big help to shape the experience.
One example is June's bush! We forced the players's hand in getting rid of that and although many of you will like it shaven we've received some passionate player response about us taking away their underrepresented pubes! So today I've been trying to adjust the files in such a way we can introduce choice (bush or not for June) without opening up a can of bugs! I think it should be possible but the coder has the final word on these things since it's him who has to actually make sure it doesn't turn into a burning pile of bugs.
I've been working on a new June scene which was getting close to be finished so I'll have to redo parts of that, but I think it won't be too much extra work*crosses fingers*.
Talking about extra work, the latest build focused a little more on the supporting female cast and coding than Toph. We simply had to fill out some more of the rest of book 3 first, but the next build will definitely have more of her. I've been giving the new scenes I already had done with her some more oompf by adding alternate versions for two of them.
I also have to come up with a way to degrade Joo Dee some more when you find her again :) Don't run away JD! we've got so much more interesting things to do!
The other important thing I've started working on now is the next part of the maze, or more importantly the next girl. The first part had June, this build's part had Suki and the next part will have... a new girl. The maze still has enough secrets, but that's for you to discover in the next build.
Well, there's a million things to do (minus 8 days to do them in!) so I'll return to drawing some more smut. We've received an idea from a scene ticket winner just a day ago so there's a lot to do. Btw the the raffle ticket winners for this month will be decided in a day or so. We just had too much to do this month to do so earlier. The winners will be sent a pm. If you don't receive one, sorry! We wish you better luck next time!
