September Objectives and Announcements! (Patreon)

Hey friends!

I hope you are having a great day, cause here comes a long post!

Let’s start with the objectives for this month:

There’s only one: completing and releasing Dungeon Coup!

Jokes aside:

New stuff coming up to Dungeon Coup:

Facial animations improvement (males)
The facial animations for male characters will be better adjusted, right now it is toned for female expressions (I forgot, lol).

Cum timer adjustments
The Cum effect, voice, sound and animation will be adjusted to look more in synchro.

BugFix
As always, I fixed a bunch of stuff, but I can’t remember right now everything, but mostly animations, and the hand bindings that got accidentally deleted.

New Non-bindings: Free hands
After completing the game for the first time you will unlock the possiblity for the character to have their hands free. This is only visually for the base Dungeon Run or story mode, but it plays an important role in Gallery run (see below)

Gallery run
So this is...uh...complex. Originally I wanted to make a “Revenge mode”, where you ran and catched the subs, exactly inverse as the base gameplay. This thing proved to be very difficult to make, but after managing to make it (although a bit clunky) I prepared a test build for Steam, and they didn’t like that the player was actually pursuing the submissives. So I had to change this to comply with the rules, so my idea of making a kind of “hide and seek” is no longer available. What I ended up doing, is completely remaking the gallery, into something playable (I essentially mixed the gallery and the chase mode, into a new mode: Gallery run!

What is this mode?
Well, it’s like the normal dungeon run, but the submissives are just standing in their rooms doing their random stuff, and if you approach them a sexual interaction starts!

However, this is the nice thing, depending on if you have your arms tied or not, this mode changes completely:

If you have your arms tied, the submissives will not have any restraints, may put restraints on you (based on your restraint chance), and will be the ones dominating in the sexual interactions (when starting).

If you have your arms free, the submissives may have restraints on them (based on your restraint chance), they won’t be able to put restraints on you, and you will be the one dominating in the sexual interactions (when starting), and you can press the Roll key (while in a sex interaction) to put a random restraint on your partner!

I'm very happy with how this turned out, considering the limitations, and I hope you guys and gals like this as much as it cost me to make this (I've been working on this nonstop for almost a week).

New Floor: Throne Room!
The last floor will be added, this one includes submissives from all the previous floors mixed up, this floor is slightly longer than the previous ones and may include more submissives for a bigger challenge!

Dominating Dirty talk
Starting on the next update, dirty talk will have the option to add lines to when you are dominating. This will cause that while you are dominating, the lines your submissives may say are picked from that list. This list is also picked in the Gallery run when starting a sex interaction while your hands are free.

These are the main things coming to the last Pre-release Dungeon Coup demo!

This demo will drop somewhere during the next week.

For those of you who don’t know, the full release of Dungeon Coup is september 29th...This month!!!

Quick edit: I forgot to specify: Dungeon Coup will release both in STEAM and ITCH! 

As I did with Kinky Fight Club’s release, all of you who supported the project for a total equal or higher than the game’s price ($10 usd) will get the game for free on release!

I will make a post tomorrow, where you will be able to vote and get it (if you supported the project), please VOTE in the poll, I don’t wanna be sending keys for the next 9 weeks because people didn’t pay attention and read. (The problem is not sending keys, but people complaining that they didn’t get a key and they didn’t vote, and I had no way of knowing who wants the game!)

Now, onto another news!

To all of you who keep supporting the project, this month will get early access to the super sexy cosplay set that the amazing Zoe volf did for Dungeon Coup!

Get the 25 HD pics from Zoe Volf's Cosplay set here! 

And if you haven’t already, go and Wishlist Dungeon Coup on Steam!

And now, onto the last news!

This post is long, I warned you!

My main computer died 10 days ago. One day it didn’t turn on anymore, I took it to the warranty (cause I had it for less than a year), and they told me that they will get it fixed in three days. Today I called them again, something broke and they don’t have the replacement there yet, they told me they may have it around the 13th. This is why you haven’t heard anything new about Project Nexus in the last weeks, cause I'm completely unable to work on it.

For the last week I been weighing my options, since even if I got the computer on the 13th I don’t think I could make a decent demo for Project Nexus before the end of october, and I really don’t wanna rush the game and have it end up like the backside of Dungeon Coup (it’s not terrible, but I had to rewrite it more times than i'm comfortable with). Once I start putting out demos for a game, there is just no time to keep working on the foundation, but rather just focusing on adding more features and content, and I feel like I need to focus more on the foundation for Project Nexus to not end up being a huge bugfest.

So, all in all my options weren’t much, but talking with a more senior dev, I found a new solution: I started a new project where he will mentor me for a few months.

I know this sounds crazy, but hear me out, I don’t feel comfortable with taking patreon money if I don’t put anything interesting for you to play, but at the same time patreon money is what keeps the rest of the team working on Project Nexus alive and able to work on the project, so something had to be done.

This new project (still unnamed) will be set inside the Nexus, as a side story, not related to the main story of Project Nexus, but it features several of the factions in Solas City. This project will also utilize a lot of the code and features I added to Project Nexus, and because this new project size and code is (at least) 10 times smaller, iterating and testing stuff here is way faster and more efficient than testing in Project Nexus (and it helps with finding bugs in my code).

This project is also a big learning opportunity, as I can work on this project from my old notebook (that cannot run Project Nexus at all), and i'm learning a lot of stuff from Mr. Senior dev.

What will this new project be?

A classic Beat-em-up with some Battle-fuck elements. Nothing too crazy, just a quick and simple action game. (We all know I have a problem with making stuff overly complex, this game won’t be too complex, I promise)

But what will happen with Project Nexus then?

I will keep working on it, of course!

Here is the deal, because my life is...complex, I have to spend around 30 hours weekly watching over my family at my mother house and/or the hospital. This is the time that I usually use to work on KYFC/ Dungeon Coup, as (it’s not ideal) but I can still work on those projects in the notebook.

The rest of the time, when i'm in my house, is when I usually worked on Project Nexus, but now due to the special circumstances of my computer being dead, Im working on this new project in my house, while still working in Dungeon Coup when i'm at my mother’s house.

So when my computer revives, I will go back to “normal” and work on Project Nexus when i'm in my house, and the new project when i'm in my mother house.

This is a very long explanation, but I want to be transparent, as your trust and support is what makes it possible for me to work in making games.

I don’t wanna spoil anything more about the new project, cause this is Dungeon Coup’s month, but I won’t be reusing the old models for this new project.

So, super long post, I'm sorry about that, I just wanted to share everything that went down in the last two weeks, and that's all I have for now friends.

I hope you understand the decisions I took, and that you are hyped for this new small project!

Tell me what you think in the comments, or on Discord.

And have a great month friends!

Cheers!
