Big Update: Horny Graphics, Hardware Talk, and Pirate Boys (Patreon)

Heya folks! I got lots to talk about today, so let's get started.

First thing: On Wednesday, my computer died. I'm still not 100% sure what happened, but it won't even boot my OS at this point and the actual hardware is kinda shot. Thankfully I'm always prepared so I have a weaker but functional backup to use, and Zap and Andy is stored in several places so it's safe.

This does mean I can't actually work on Z&A until a replacement computer arrives though, but I'm not gonna leave you high and dry. I'm gonna work my ass off on Orc Heist, since it's a text game and almost any system can both run it and work on it. I have some new stuff planned for that as well. As a side mission for the resort level, you can wave a pirate flag on the docks and get picked up by a minotaur pirate ship to experience some sea adventures with lots of pirate dude action!

I'm gonna keep you guys updated on the state of my new computer as well, as of right now me and a friend are finalizing a desktop build that's ideal for game design which should make development go a lot faster.

Part 2: I got some Jinn Tales graphics for you, as well as the first look at the final Jinn, Ramad.

All three of the human enemies in the baths have "weakened" graphics, where you can see Musmus gaining control over them.

And some enemies were made to have multiple incarnations...

Here's some concept art of Azhar and Musmus

Here's a graphic for one of the planned attacks. Azhar would use his looks in almost everything he did!

A concept sketch of Musmus trying to teach Azhar about game mechanics. In addition to being the player's power source, this Jinn was gonna be the source of tutorials.

A sketch of a graphic meant to be used when the player lost the boss fight against Zoulapin. 

As for Ramad...

He would be Azhar's biggest problem as a Jinn of Desire. Ramad is the one who kidnapped the sultan and plunged this area into chaos, seeing the peaceful and calm land as a problem to be corrected.  At times he appears like a statue because he almost never moves, but is surrounded by long flowing ribbons that seem like an extension of his body and are in constant motion.

Because of his control over desire, all of his minions have exaggerated wants and will do ANYTHING to fulfill them.

The final version of Ramad will cap off this look at Jinn Tales. I dunno what the future will bring, but designing these characters was a blast!

I'll be back on Tuesday with another update for you guys. 10 dollar folks, your update will be going up soon!

Stay safe and have a good weekend everyone! :D
