Please welcome our newest voice model; Shams.
Shams  is a lusty desert Mer-Nymph from the desert oases of the Arabian  Peninsula. She graces the Northern coasts of Morocco in search of a  fabled Moroccan hashish, a deep kush coma dream that leaves her body  twitching and her flayed mind rolling in the pleasures of her own sticky  making. Please have a  listen to her enchanting telepathic siren song  from a world away.

A new haircut has been added! I have been training in another artist!  To help me start rolling out these haircuts faster while I shift focus  to working on the deeper game (Dialogue Battle System & Map Location  Settings) She's quite good, isn't she?

The design of the Character Creation menu has been upgraded and a  voice selection is now included. We have also added a Null Voice, if you  prefer the ambience. To access this from the inventory, equip the flag  with a muted microphone. You may also access this from the Character  Creation menu, on first load or you may reset your game to see this  screen again from the settings menu at any time.

As  the Dialogue Battle System is being designed, a strong need for  improving our backgrounds for the Map Location Settings is manifesting.  We are experimenting with different background images and color  combinations to create a more environmentally immersive game. As a  result we have several new lighting features for you to test from the  Dev UI > Visual Effects.

Exclusive Patreon Content:

The haircut builder is an idea that came up before the first haircut began. As I was drawing the hair I arranged the design into accurate groups of hair anatomies. Now that we have enough haircuts and haircut anatomies across all the different haircuts, we're experimenting with a haircut builder that is a bit like building a flower bouquet, you can arrange the hair in any customized arrangement of anatomies and colors that you like. Resulting in some very skunky looking haircuts like the one just above. That's the goal. It's almost ready for a test, thinking of putting it in the main menu or dev ui somewhere.

​As mentioned above we are starting to finalize some of the game locations. I made the Bladerunner looking one as a color test. However, this Tavern is one of the planned locations from the map, where you will be able to meet characters and play some XXX themed minigames within our 2D fantasy physics engine. Imagine a parody of the "Ping Pong Show" from Bangkok, Thailand; where you will be shooting eggs at targets, from the anus of a Tavern Wench, who is strapped in bondage to a Ballista. That's the kind of depth we need in our minigames, it is essential for us to be combining all our games existing themes together for the bet possible experience.

Another feature planned for the stage areas is neighboring locations. Here is the the back of house of the Tavern. Which will only be accessible through the battle dialogue system or through hidden buttons on the mini-map. You may even accidentally find yourself behind the Tavern with your equipment missing as a punishment for failing.

The Design of the Dialogue Battle System is still being finalized, I am focusing on how to preserve the 2D physics interactivity that our game has become known for within the context of a VN. I'm pulling from many different gaming experiences that thrilled me such as the negotiation dialogues from Deus Ex, the 2D dialogue minigames of Undertale, the Corruption and Purity choices of Corruption of Champions, the companion influence system of Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2, the location and training found in Akabur's Princess Traine, as well as the confidant system and stylistic qualities of the Persona games.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, hope it is a warm one.   
Warm Regards.
