Time for the Sunday update!
This week I will share only one screenshot, in the header. At the risk of spoiling a bit about what the October side story will be about.
Since the Contaminated pool story won the vote I kept running in my head how to make it work.
One way would be to simply make a bunch of random girls grow in a pool but I feel that might as well be a Deviantart post (which probably I will do!)
Having just a bunch of random girls grow didn't work for me because:
I didn't want to just do a bunch of throwaway designs - and I like it more if a girl grows and we know a bit more about them.
I didn't know how to end a 'random outbreak of muscular girls' style story, or how to make it work without affecting the main story too much.
There wouldn't be much story aside from some sexy fmg.
But for the side stories I want there to be some story and lore added to the game.
The biggest problem was figuring out HOW the pool gets contaminated with serum. And then it would require me to involve someone from the main game that has access to the serum.
As you see in the screenshot - I ended up going with Lisa - the scientist from the Queen route.
I also sliiiighty bent the definition of pool, and made it an onsen instead.
The premise is that a few highschool friends want to get together and drink and catch up. Lisa, known as 'Little Lisa' back in highschool felt the only way to get through this reunion would be for her to use the serum for a little boost.
You can speculate how it goes from there.
The story will involve a lot of FMG as well as a series first: what happens if a chubby girl gets the serum?
I will also involve a guy - so we get to see a guy react to the girls grow. I realize I have not done this yet since the game is entirely from the Main Character perspective. It will be fun to have a guy sprite standing next to the titan girls being dwarfed by their size.
This side story has taken some time and care. With new girls introduced and having multiple girls grow simultaneously it was a challenge. I can say I am perhaps 60% done.
Main game progress
I've been writing dates for Saya and working on the new muscle sprites for Saya, Manami and Miyu, including their bikini sprites. I originally planned to involve them into the side story but scrapped the idea as the scope was a bit unhinged and I did not want to delay the main game. But I need updated sprites for Saya, Manami and Miyu in the main game anyway so the work done there is all good.
I hope you forgive me for the lack of screenshots. The header above is hopefully a good teaser for things to come.
That's it for this Sunday! Hope you had a lovely week and wishing you an amazing week ahead. I will be flying a bit the next 2 days. I will try to poke my head into the discord and patreon to check on messages when I get a chance. Thank you for your understanding!
