v0.4.0 Progress Report (+ September Plans)
🕑 Added 2021-08-29 19:56:11 +0000 UTC
It's time for the end-of-month progress report, where I'm going to tell you what your pledge for the next month will be used for. v0.3.3. was the last 0.3 version, and we will now move on to v0.4.0, which will enter the Early Alpha stage before I go on vacation next week.
So yeah... I'm going on vacation in September. It was planned way before the project interest went through the roof and now I'm feeling like it's the worst possible timing, but also I've been working pretty much non-stop for three months now, so I guess I really need that time off anyways to prevent a future burnout. We're going on a little trip to Croatia and Italy, starting September 6th, and we'll be back September 26th. So yeah, I'm sorry but there will be no new Beta update this month.
However, to make up for that, I have given the various artists double their workload to make this month an art production spectacle.
- our main character artist awnarts has been hired full-time to pump out as much art as possible
- Two new rooms instead of one: the Pool and the Bedroom
- Two new attack images instead of one
While I may not be here all the time, the game will still be worked on non-stop, just from different people. I hope this will be a good reason for you to stay on the Patreon, as I'll take the time in the evening to post as much of the new art as I can.
I will probably not be able to put those artworks into Alpha access from the road, but maybe I'll have some motivation here and there. Alpha Access will come with a bit of new content though. I still have a week after all, and I'm very well on schedule for what I have planned. Here's a list of what's to come in v0.4.0 Alpha just a few days from now.
1. Abigail Storyline Puzzle
Abigail has a new favourite place to be - the lab in the hobby room. She'll be there every day at night, trying to do some important research into the chemical compounds used by the show's producers. However, some unfortunate circumstances emerge during the second end-of-week show, and she's unable to continue her work. Now it's time for you to take over and do some science! This will be your opportunity to get Abigail on your side to make a new ally. Or... well... there's tons of fun ways to get in trouble as well. It's your choice.
The Abigail storyline will contain a total of four different outcomes. Alpha 1 will only contain the bare bones of those, but will pave the way to get the next juicy transformation branches into the game soon. So what will those branches be? Well... the first one is on the poster art. I don't want to spoil too much, but if you've watched the Austin Powers movie that this poster is inspired by, you'll know that there could be some programming coming your way. Yay, Science! ;)
Psst. $20 Patrons may have gotten a few sneak-peek images of the second TF branch, posted in their secret Discord #super-early-access channel. If you were unaware go check it out.
2. Underwear
Check out this huge new collection of underwear. I'm still working on the implementation as it's such a huge amount of clothes, but this whole new set will change the game up in some ways, since they belong into two completely new clothing slots for the character to wear. We might actually get three clothing slots this patch cycle, since shoes and high heels are currently in the art pipeline as well, but they'll only be done when I'm back.
3. New Abigail Graphics
Abigail is starting off as the typical librarian-type, but she just loves her new vapid look. She now has five graphical steps. You can't really get them all at the same time right now, but there's one additional place where she'll be at in this new build, so maybe something there could be used to get there. I love the new graphics for her and how she plays with her hair. Awn has done an awesome job and will possibly get to a few more poses for her for the different rooms before this hits Beta.
4. Slower Male Body Transformation
Three new steps have been added to the breast growth syringes. So if your male character wants to grow some breasts, it will take a bit longer, but those male clothes will also be usable a bit longer, e.g. swim trunks that were kind of useless before. These three new steps will be considered gameplay-wise as not having breasts, just some... itching? I hope you'll have a lot of fun with those bee stings.
5. Orgasmic Expressions
When your character is aroused, she needs to look the part, doesn't she? So with this new version, we've added some nice new ahegao expressions to the main character. Eyes rolled up, tongue out, what else is there in life? Who cares? They don't seem to.
And that's only what's to come in the first Alpha next week. As mentioned above, while I'm gone there will be a lot of graphical work, and I'm looking forward to implementing all of that into the game and then giving you an extra-large update in early November. Version 0.4.0 is a major patch after all, and I'm sure you're gonna feel that. As always, you're going to get the Alpha version through Discord, but this time I'm going to do a little post about it here as well.
I hope you all enjoyed this teaser of the next version and that you can see that I'm working on this as much as I can. Taking a few weeks off will just let me recharge to go back into full work mode at the end of September.
Best,
Rel
