Hi, guys. 

Episode 02 release finally happened. Yay!


I gotta say it was received better than I hoped, so I'm very happy about that. Thank you for all the kind words (and kind money :) you keep sending my way.


For the past few days I've been taking it slow, playing video games (mostly "ELEX", it's so good T_T) and answering your emails.


Now I think it is time to share some of my post-release thoughts.


First of all let me assure you that my main strategy for Episode 03 has not changed. I still plan to make it way shorter and release it way quicker. 


Also I plan to do a bit more drawing and a bit more writing this time around. Many of you enjoyed the story of episode 02 it seems, and I can't be happier about that. But looking back now I realize how much time it took me to write that story. And please don't forget that I also commissioned other artists to work on some of the chibi animations, the episode title screen and some other minor things. All that resulted in me barely drawing anything for the past 10 months or so... 


Don't get me wrong, I enjoy writing, but not nearly as much as I enjoy drawing... So I will have to give all that a bit more thought, but the general idea for now is to spend a bit more time drawing crap and a bit less time writing crap, while working on episode 03. 


Next thing is sexy scenes with Genie. This time around a lot of you told me (in one way or another) that Genie needs to be more active with the girls. And I hear you and agree. But this should be done in a way that would make sense inside the game world and also not multiply my workload too much... No idea, how I am going to do that... All I can say for now, that I heard you and I plan to give this A LOT of thought...


And that is it for now. Xaljio is repacking the game for ANDROID at the moment, so as soon as that is done, I will make another post and maybe talk some more about some things...


In the meantime I want to share two links to two games that you may find interesting.

First one is "Lyla's Curse" by Voodoo Monkey. Monkey sent me the link to his game saying that I should try it. I was very skeptical at first to be honest, but I give it a go and got to say I did enjoy it. The presentation is rough around the edges at time but I did like the overall artstyle and characters. Oh, and you should know that there is not much gameplay at the moment, more like a several long scenes but there are quite a few illustrations... Anyway, my only intent is to inform you guys that the thing exists and that I think it had potential.

And I have another game for you as well... This one is called "Soldier's Life" by Pyorgara. This one was also brought to my attention by the creator of the game itself and he insisted I should try it. And I did. And to be honest it had way to much shit going on for my dumb brain to handle... A lot of choices and numbers and stuff... But it looks rather well-made and I am sure there are people out there who enjoy that sort of gameplay. So in case you never heard of it, here is the link: https://www.patreon.com/Pyorgara


And that's about it. My job is done here. Thank you for your support guys, and I'll see you again when ANDROID version will be ready for release.

I'm so slow... I just got to Episode 2 so my feedback is limited. Totally falling in love with Ashelin, though! I will point out that I clicked on "briefing the troops" episode 2 while it was locked, and it took me to a scene. Ashelin was flipping the camera off while 😳 *ahem* "briefing" someone. I'd have to recheck, though.

Oh, Soldier's life, I tried the demo, it's an interesting game, it's pretty enjoyable to break that overconfident spoiled brat. As for episode 3, you have my trust, as I know that you will give us nothing less than the best of you :) Keep up the good work, and don't forget to take care of yourself and take some time for personal fun :) I will allways thank you for your hard work, you are the best my friend :)

Aika

Fingers crossed that Android release isn't too far away &lt;3

Awesome! İf anyone can can pull this off it's you ^^ İf you need some "inspiration" check out MİTY and the "Four elements trainer" book 1 and 2 are finished. I think they do a great job balancing between writing and drawing. Trust me you'll like it. <a href="https://www.patreon.com/mity">https://www.patreon.com/mity</a>

Also I tried Soldiers Life but there is too much text for my taste.. it's more based off illustration... VoodoMonkey has potential but I don't like some of the artstyles... like when she's giving a blowjob... İt's not the most attractive face.

Thanks for all the updates, looking forward them and not burn yourself ^^

Actually, "A soldier's life" is really, really good if you ask me: I mean, it's very minimal and reminds me those games I used to play on my 8086 PC back in the 90s, but once you get into it (which takes a little time) it's got some awesome writing and addictive gameplay. I was honestly surprised that text and very basic drawings could still give me a hard on! I'll definitely try out "Lyla's curse" when I get the time. And aside from that, let me also cast my vote that Genie needs to get in on the action: what's the point of being a space pimp if you can't sample the merchandise . Plus it would be a great bromance-builder to have Genie share a girl (or two) with Snape (something that somewhat happened in WT but wasn't explored to its full potential)!

I had the same problem with "A Soldier's Life". I've tried it several times but can never get into it. I much preferred Pyorgara's first game, "Corrupting the Priestess".

Alright Akabur. Whatever u did for EP02 worked. Even if we noticed that new char is close to fully copied from ur previsous game (the drawing i mean. dialoges are unic of caurse). Just keep doing the way u did this and keep every ep special. U can increase performance by sending texts to Lyk a bit erlier into the relese mb but that is ur choice entirely.

Can't wait till Lyla's Curse gets more content, damn I like what I have seen from the Prologue!!

Voodoo Monkey

I know right? Ashelin is by far my favorite. And she's grown on me the most. I think it's because for the most part, she's the most pure? I guess that what happens when you really draw out the "corruption" aspect in a character?

Voodoo Monkey

Glad you enjoyed it. I'm currently working on 0.1.1 which I plan to release tomorrow night. I got a lot of good feedback from people and am currently restructuring and smoothing the rough areas in the prologue so that it's a lot tighter in it's presentation. :)

Exiscoming

I've heard a 'lot' of positive talk about this, but I'm reluctant to play it until it's 100% done. I booted up the game and love how clean the UI looks. I'll be sure to keep tracking progress on the game. From what I've heard, you've outdone yourself.

Nice))

Dubsington

I noticed that too (although some of the HG art was new, such as the ribbon scene). You could make the same criticism of Jasmine, of course. Given that the theme of the game is that we are collecting characters from other games/works, that didn't bother me at all; I assumed the whole point was this person was already familiar to (most of) us.

Dubsington

Akabur's gotten pretty good at this stuff; he's not generally one to go back and rejigger the early mechanics of a game. (Example: He removed the most "grinder"-y part of the game for episode 2, but left it intact in the earlier scenes.) Also, the plot is highly episodic. I don't think you're going to gain much by waiting, might as well give it a look. There's already several hours of gameplay in there.

Dubsington

Soldier's Life is a fun "slavebreaker" sort of game, with the added wrinkle of a surprisingly fun adventure/combat system. I like that game.

Dirheim

I baked it for some months, but without a walkthrough I was at a loss without knowing what to do too many times, it was to hard.

Lord Snufflepuff Fancypants III

Soldier's life is super fun to play thank you! However, I play on a 2k monitor, and the screen is just so small. Is there a way to play in or near full screen?

helvorn

Definitely I love your drawings so hearing that you intend to do more is a huge bonus for me all around.

Well... I have already playing some of this games, but the text from them too hard for my english.((

I'm a writer, if you're interested, I'd be happy to help you write the dialogue for your games!

akabur

Well of course it's good. I wouldn't waste your time to game that are shit, man. :) And thank you for the support, Mr.Stibbons!

akabur

Dude, it's like our mind were in sinc for this one. I had exactly the dame thoughts about both of the games :)

Voodoo Monkey

Thanks Akabur for giving a shout out to my game! Everyone gave me really good feedback and I incorporated a lot of it into a new update V0.1.1 which is available for download.

Just finished my playthough . I love your games so much . Cant wait until all these girls get turned into cock gobbling zombies in later episodes . I was bummed abit by the lack of scenes though. Guess i got spoiled it PT and WT . I was really waiting for a good ashlien drawing of her on all fours oinking . Lol . Can wait to see what a good friend jasmine will be to her .

Akabur as always amazing work on episode 2. May I suggest if Genie is going to “interact” with the girls that it could be for the girls like Jasmine who are trying to bribe Genie into saying that she’s the best, of course as they are all grudgingly doing it you get to choose your favourite like the “Ribbon Contest”. Just a suggestion.

Jinxed Joker

you play elex !? *cleric waifu confirmed*

percy Jackson

does anyone know how to properly open a .rar file to play this soldiers life. I tried looking online and nothing seemed to be working. Sorry to use your page like a forum Mr. Akabur. Ive just been really lost on how to do it.

Dubsington

Can't BELIEVE episode 3 isn't shipping yet.
