Progress Report (Patreon)

Howdy, here’s what’s up:

In all honesty, last month I panicked that it’s taking us too long to finish this beast and created more sub-poses for the pose teased in my previous post. Which, unsurprisingly, only prolonged the wait.

Don’t get me wrong, we need more poses, I just think that in retrospect- now is not the time for their implementation. But, what’s done is done.

We also put in some extra effort to implement all body-mods the game will have into our two upcoming events, which wasn’t the wisest decision either, again, it was necessary, but our timing is off.

And then, while Moana was busy coding in hundreds of extra pictures I spawned - I’ve decided to experiment with the rest of planned body mods, primarily sextoys. Which resulted in Kira’s lower body and first breast size being changed once again. This last change didn’t add more work to Moana, since I’ll just replace the pictures, but I’m still in the process of editing all lower body layers.

Needless to say, we were hoping to post the game sooner, but it’s proven to be far too complicated. We’re doing our best to finish polishing everything, and I promise I won’t change anything again, but we’ll have to delay this expansion for a little while.

It’s still not ready and Moana is busy improving it as I type this. We did what I told we’d do, the final character art upgrade, but in order for it to be truly final - we still need some time.

Above you can see two “sub-poses” that were created for the harassment system, along with the main one.

All three of them have their own sets of breasts, hands, piercings, writings, milk and pregnancy, multiplied by 6 in “main” pose and by 7 in the other two - so this single event has 20 pictures of various different breasts alone.

That said, with this pose being drawn, I consider the “breast touching” part of our “harassment” system complete.

Now I’ll have to find the time and write around 30 micro-events that will happen all over Moscow and use all our “harassment” poses.

Then we’ll move to the next phase of this system - we want to create the same “sets” of poses for regular sex, blowjobs, boobjobs, etc.

Our newest Vivarium events are even closer to full completion. By “full completion” I mean that they already have everything planned apart from one hair style and tattoos.

Note: “Size 5” and “Fake1” are the same one in this particular pose, because Kira’s breasts are already roundish as is.

The amount of end-game physical changes is known and ideally all events should have everything, plus some placeholder art for future tattoos/piercings. Otherwise, we will constantly have to edit every single event every time we’ll add another body-mod.

Now, most tattoos and piercings could be included quite easily, so there won’t be any problem with them. However, hair and a breasts tattoo are a different story. Based on the tattoo placement/design the amount of pictures and layer order might change (if it’s above breasts, below them, around the nipples, etc.), similar situation with hairstyle (it’s length determines its position).

So, after the next release I’ll poll you on the final hairstyle and breast tattoo which will be actually implemented only Stalin knows when.

We tested our master plan and how it would work with Kira’s regular dialogue art. And the thing is, we want the aftermath to be shown - if Kira gets some fluids human male produce on her face in an event, it will stay there until she’ll shower. Same thing with sextoys.

In theory, whenever some helpful comrade would push a dildo into Kira as a token of friendship, it should be shown in character art.

So, we tested how our planned wearable sextoys work with everything else and discovered a problem - Kira’s legs. Even after I modernized them, the gap between her legs caused conflict whenever Kira was wearing pants and giant dildos at the same time.

While I was at it, I decided to listen to some feedback in regards to Kira’s breast sizes and made her breasts smaller (among other minor changes, like size 2&3, nipple piercings, expressions, etc.)

Another reason for the breast size edit is the fact that every other breast size appears on top of the first one, so to avoid any potential future layer conflict - it’s better to make “base” Kira almost flat.

I already edited everything and I hope you don’t mind that I did so without any polls - this had to be done and I regret not drawing her in this pose in the first place.

While editing all planned breast sizes for the future events, as promised I’ve tested out how much time another fake size would eat.

It wasn’t a lot, primarily because it’s just an enlarged version of “fake1” (winner of the poll).

On top of that, both our upcoming events are focused on breasts, so they are harder to layer and are ideal for this kind of test. Besides, we’re already on an insane road where everything gets shown in events, what’s one more size?

Which is why, we will include giant silicone breasts (now known as “fake2” size) into the game.

We’ve also decided to include “thunder thighs” as an exclusive “donut” size, it will be the opposite of normal hip progression - you’ll have to work out to get rid of it.  Since hips are not shown in events and default Kira is always kind of thicc, I don’t see why not.

Note: We’ll have to slightly edit the gym for this, so they will be implemented a bit later, but the art will already be in the game.

All we did was "planned ahead", we really don’t want to redo anything ever again, so we tested hypothetical events like cumwalks, tasks with buttplugs, dildos, everything we could imagine.

On top of that, last month I panicked that it’s taking us too long and put in extra work to create two more alternative sub-poses of the new harassment pose (holding and mastrubation poses). The new event previously used existing artworks and was working fine as it was.

I think that since we intend to use harassment poses everywhere, we do need the new poses in the long run, but it was an unwise decision because we were supposed to finish this version as soon as possible and that choice put extra work on Moana. My timing was off and that was definitely a mistake.

Overall, with the “sextoys” aspect of the game being tested and the new sub-poses in place, our arsenal of in-game tools has been significantly boosted.

Thank you all for your patience and support, we won’t add in any other surprises and just power through what’s left to do. The end is near!
