Reporting for lewduty! Friday the 13th, very spooky, but no fear - the catto is lucky and here have even a complimentary shooting star to make it a lucky day.

Third Crisis

Vils:

Heya all! Vils here. We’re coming up on the release of 0.57, the third and final Health Update for Third Crisis. It’s got all the things we want in it, and right now we’re just testing it and putting on the final bits of polish before we start releasing it.

As promised, this means next release will be the beginning of the end, where we’ll start developing the final mission of the main story. The current plan is still 3 months, so 3 more releases for the final mission to be completed, but that may turn into 4 months depending on how the progress of development shakes up. Either way, Third Crisis is going to be coming to a conclusion soon, and I’m very excited to see your reactions to how it will end.

Desva:

Hey yall it’s me Desva. There isn’t much to report since I just wrapped up everything for 0.57. I got some more assets from PMPerfect for the Tower and I’m in the middle of implementing them into Unity. Also, 4 new animations are waiting to be implemented into the game. For the Throb scene, we need some more animations and have to partially rewrite it to fit the animation which is why it isn’t in the 0.57 update.

I also was a bit busy with TC:R preparing and planning things. There is one key aspect missing at the moment so we will make a separate big announcement on that when we have a few more things to show. That is all from me today.

Aine:

Our master tattoo artist, Aine, has been inking Jenna silly. Here are the new designs (⌐▰U▰):

Aine worked extra hard just so you guys would see the finished version on this Lewduty report! Can we got some applauds? ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

PMPerfect:

PMPerfect is building TC’s surroundings as always - here with more cool structures :

Ohm_Ena:

Ena has been diligent at work animating Jenna going full disco - always nice to see people Vibing to the beat. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Meanwhile Rida has become a subwoofer as mentioned in the previous Lewduty report. As in sub - submissive and woofer - wolf. So subwoofer!

And yes, we have a loicense to pun here.

Rated:

Rated has gone and finished Floria - now filled with colours and perved to the max! ˖⁺‧₊˚❀˚₊‧⁺˖

Here is also Rida’s pose in the making:

Rosas Are Red

Bear:

Heyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I’m the bear and I have been working a lot on all sorts of fixes for Rosas are Red!

From fixing white-screening pictures to audio messages that would softlock your game if you didn’t scroll fast enough. All sorts of bugs got squished to get the steam release as clean as possible! Special thanks to Rubescent Dragon on Discord for helping me track down a bunch of bugs!

Besides that, I made sure that Rosas are Red works well on the Steam deck and on Mac!

We’ve also updated the steam page, created the demo page and uploaded the OST to Spotify and other music streaming services.

Vils:

Heya all! Vils here again.

As you know, we’ve made a huge push toward the release of Rosas are Red since all the dialogue got finished thanks to Rokean, which has taken up the past couple weeks of time for bear and I. That sprint is done now, and Rosas are Red is now fully feature-complete and on the homestretch to release (it’s our first real beta!). November 6th, baby! Give it a wishlist! We’ve been putting a TON of work into making this our most polished release to date, and there’s still a couple surprises in store.

One of these surprises is the soundtrack by apolxcore, which you can now find on many music apps like YouTube Music and Spotify. This was super exciting to make happen, and I’m hoping you all enjoy the soundtrack as much as I have while developing the game. Listening to the soundtrack was a huge motivator that kept me going during the long days of dialogue writing for RaR.

My favorite track is ‘Alive Again’, lemme know what yours is!

Also, one last thing before I go. During the completion sprint, I pulled an all-nighter and during it I did a massive polish pass of all the dialogue in the game to remove monologues, which are strings of dialogue where Rosa would talk at the player for more than 4 messages at a time, sometimes getting up to like 10 messages in a row with no interaction from the player.

We found that to be a little unfun to wait around for, so during that long night I added a TON of player choices to break up those monologues, and found myself making goofy memes to keep my sanity.
