Weekly Update/Preview Nov 20-27 (Patreon)

Another week? Felt pretty quick to me, although I imagine a lot of people had that experience due to the whole holiday thing. Assuming you are in a place where a holiday occurred of course.

So coming to the end of November here and I can pretty safely say that the next update is not going to land on the 1st of December. Very much hoping to have things together so that it will come out earlier in the month than Beta 1 did, but the specifics haven't quite been figured out on my end yet. I'm somewhat struggling with various things for various reasons, making it difficult to bring out maximum productivity.

Still, I hope the tweets that I put up did make it clear that things are being done/made, and I can talk about those things to varying degrees here and now.

Something kinda cute

So this came about because I thought there should probably be sex CGs for the liquid latex construct. Looking at the actual events that the monster has though, the structure is somewhat weird. This monster was implemented before the sex update, but with the whole flow of how her events go into each other (capture -> makeout -> cum) it ends up being pretty similar to how sex ended up being implemented later. Maybe I should do some tweaking/reworking for that. In some ways, the current version may actually be more difficult than the more standard sex inflicting monster type. It's odd. Game balance is hard.

Anyway, I don't know if I'm completely satisfied with this CG in particular. The posing is fine, it's just something about the art process that I use. Generally, darker colors can be hard to make look good. You may notice this with Lucette here and there, since her armor is darker than you might expect from her character. The lower parts of her CGs can sometimes be a bit messy or harder to discern just because of the poor contrast between different dark colors on her armor/skirt. Of the three knights, she definitely causes the most issues along those lines. Runner up is Elli, and that's mostly because of the dark part of her top. You kinda have to get the contrast there right, even going back and drawing highlights in so people don't look for boobs and only see a dark void.

Speaking of boobs though-

Play my game

Boobie maid (not actual name). This is a result of me switching some old maid pictures that I have that were pure AI gen over to a more usable form. Strictly speaking, there isn't a whole lot to talk about here, just another maid enemy that will eventually get into the game, but that's kinda fine. I mostly just wanted to post a thing that I liked along with my message of it being my birthday. A gift to me. Boobs on the timeline. I'm old enough that nothing particularly exciting happens on my birthdays anymore, so let me have this I guess.

Also yeah, play my game. Also talk about my game to me. I 💗 attention, although I am not a boobie maid.

Stats for nerds

Originally when I started working on this window it was planned to be a popup for an end of run summary page. Looking at the variables that I actually track along with the fact that many of them are used as requirements for qualifying for skills though, it seemed like it would be useful for the player to have access to at other times as well. So now you can open up and see numbers go up whenever you're in camp I guess.

Does raise some strange questions lore-wise though. Maybe makes the Inquisitor look a little bit weird when they've been keeping track of the number of times each knight has masturbated while in camp... Maybe best not to think about it too much.

Did you sign in?

Kind of a silly one-off trap idea, and one that would feel a bit less fun if I spoiled the surprise of it, so I again don't have a whole lot to say here. I do have minor concerns about my brain being more prone to wanting to implement silly or unique/weird threat ideas over lewd ones. Sometimes I'm randomly hit with the thought of "wait I need to go lewder" figuring that's what people are here for/will enjoy more. Though at the same time, people did vote for the Witch, so... A problem to work on, for sure.

I'll try and think it through before the next update. See you then.
