Earl rewards - Progress update on sprite work and sketches! (Patreon)

This month one of the features we're planning to introduce (although we'll have to wait and see whether we have time!) is the animated Beth sprite. Honestly, I'm not yet sure how long this will take because it'll likely involve going back and including the animations in a bunch of older scenes, so we'll see how it goes.

Still, it's progress on the animated sprites, so I'm happy!

New costumes

Also, the artist who's been working on the holding court images for us has pretty much wrapped up that job! So he's begun work on new outfits for the girls and on separating the remaining sprites for eventual animation.

I've included a couple of these new outfits in the gallery for you - I think they look great, what do you think? We've got some lingerie for Delia (all the girls will have lingerie eventually - it's only Cliona who's missing it now) and a maid outfit for Az'ea.

Yes, eventually you'll be able to change the girls' ranks, so Az'ea swaps position with another girl and has to do maid work if you want!

I'll admit there's not currently a lot of gameplay reasons to do this; it's just something that seemed like it'd be a lot of fun, so we'll figure out a reason for it later. ;)

The plan is also to have a few other outfits that will help to tell the story and make the sprites look sexy, including some you'll be able to buy from the merchant (once he's implemented) that you can make the girls wear if they're obedient enough.

Sketches and ongoing work

The first of the sketches I've shown is from RDuke for Delia - a nice little moment of her using her alchemical skills. We've got a nip-slip variant, too. :D

And a lot of the focus for the artists recently has been on the sex scenes. We've got one ready for animation for Az'ea that's pretty great, (sketch included) so I can't wait for that to be animated so I can show you, and we've got a couple of non-animated sex scenes currently in production for Delia and Beth. Cliona won't be too far behind, either! She's also been getting a bunch of story/romance images done.

EDIT: Oh, and I just threw in a Cliona romance scene sketch that I realised I'd shown on the Discord group, because I want everyone to see it. :D

What do you think of the animation? And how about the new outfits? Let me know in the comments below!
