Project Plan: February (Patreon)

It is time to head back into Roya. After a long period on corruption content in the real world, we will be mostly focusing this month on Roya content. 

While I have a new mapping candidate once again in the pipeline, he will only be making the Magic Academy maps as a test commission. To ensure that we actually get some major progress on the dungeon crawling content, I will be taking back the role as dungeon mapper for and push on the main Underwater dungeon in the Forest of Runes lake, to provide the second route to Winterfall.

The second half of this month's update will then be focused on lewd content. Overall, this gives us the following plan for February.

Week 1: The first week mostly focuses on technical work and technical debt reduction. I have been doing some reorganisation of game assets this weekend as the number of CG layers and everything has grown to the point where it becomes difficult to manage in RPGMaker. On release RPGMaker MZ's feature for supporting nested folders for assets was super janky, and while there are still some inconsistencies in some places, it seems it mostly works by now. (Wow, only a couple of years for nested folder support, way to go RPGMaker devs!) Anyways, the other technical work is just the usual bugfixing.

I plan to implement one mental change this month in the Instincts Room: A vulgar speech mental change. This will replace various of Aura's euphemisms with more vulgar words. In the future there will also be real world scenes to accompany this, but for now it's just about a passive effect that will substitute some words in dialogue.

And then I will close out the week by starting on the first map for the Central Lake underwater dungeon map. 

Week 2: We will continue on the main Underwater dungeon in this week, or rather, start the main work. :'D In total, I hope I can get 2 maps of the dungeon done, the second one being a deeper Underwater Vault level.

Week 3: The third Roya dev week will focus on the Magic Academy. I'm not sure how far I will get to implementing learning magic there, as the larger focus will lie on implementing the Study 1 - 3 scenes from Absurdity.

Week 4: The last goal of the month is to implement the last scene commission Roland 1 and then we will move briefly back into the real world. I'm not sure yet which corruption scenes I will be implementing in the remaining time, or if there will be time left to implement any at all. But ideally I would like to continue the real world Masturbation event chain to facilitate reaching 30 Lewdness.

So overall a fairly straight forward dev month focusing on dungeon crawling and then some lewds.

Art Commission: 

By having the Bunny Suit Loving Magistrate scenes use 1 common base CG, we were able to get a bit ahead of time and use the first commission slot for the next batch of appearance changes. 

I would like to use the second now-free commission slot for some further character artwork; namely a dedicated Star Knightess costume. The idea would be to start the game with it and then once Aura receives the collar, switch to her already slightly lewd main costume. Also, whenever she removes it, she will be using the Star Knightess costume. 

This will give us some more costume gradularity/corruption to the current costume, without causing extra work for the H-CGs.

Business Side

Nothing really to report on here. I haven't heard back yet from the auhorities who requested a bunch of documents this month so maybe I did everything right and sent them what they needed, or maybe they will be coming back with even more requests this month. :'D Who knows.

The only last major item left in my fulltime transition is to do the actual move back into my hometown, which I plan to finish by beginning of March.

Update Times

As I mentioned last month, I am trying to move towards a more normal working time schedule without late-night releases. The Daily build will now trigger at 12:12 UTC and the weekly prerelease has moved to 16:16 UTC. Same also of course goes for the end of the month release.

And that's the plan for the next month. Let's close the gap between corruption and Roya content!
