Dev Diary #8 - Progress Update July & Whats Next
🕑 Added 2017-08-05 09:55:16 +0000 UTC Hi, Zanzo here with the latest :)I'm a bit stressed out right now with various projects (gotta pay my rent unfortunately), so I'll get right to the point:
Content Updates
- Most important: We released an alpha version of the very first XXX Mode stage to all patrons with beta access. It has been well received and provided us with valuable input :)
- Earlier, we introduced our new and very own soundtrack for XXX Mode in a public gameplay video early in the Month
- The different clothing Stages of Nikki's Portrait were published, we posted WIPs and full Artworks of 2 XXX Scenes with her. One of those will be replaced though since we thought the upcoming one would fit her character - and physcial flexibility - better. We will try to recycle the pose later on.
- Also, The wallpapers for Nikki were sent to the qualifying patrons.
- Mayu got her third and final sticker along with a painting progress video from Cucu. We sent out her artwork downloads to the according patrons.
- Cucu completely redid the very first XXX Artwork she ever made for Mayu and Sexy Exile in general to bring it up to the style and standard we have now. The Artwork is available for all patron tiers just like the first version was.
Coding Updates
It doesn't make too much sense to try and list the things I accomplished this month since it was mostly technical stuff like optimizing routines and functions, debugging, reorganizing code, balancing and general polishing in order to get the alpha out and be ready for everything after that. I created lots of collectible sound effects and implemented them as well as a mechanism for randomized playback of a variety of moaning sounds for Anaela ;) I added several game animations and status screens for the alpha and ultimately the first playable. Since the closed alpha release I worked on more boring stuff like cleanly resetting the play state, which means that all objects, variables, instances etc. need to be properly recycled in order to not flood the memory with junk data. I've also made some adjustments to the music playback & loop system since I discovered a bug in the framework that would result in multiple layers of music looping over and over again... yay!
However, those last changes may not sound like too much but they allow for multiple stages to be put in a sequence seamlessly and therefore these are essential steps towards the first playable that I'm happy to have conquered.
Whats next?
I'm a bit annoyed that the "regular" work slows me down a bit right now, but I'm still trying to put every spare minute into the first playable, as does Cucu. Among the next steps for me are designing the second level, writing the code for story sequences and working on more music with our guy. And yeah, finishing the second XXX animation of Anaela.. In the meantime, Cucu is going strong with completing Nikki's stuff and we're already brainstorming about what our the next girl will be like.. Maybe y'all got some input?
As always, we're happy to answer any questions and any feedback is greatly appreciated!
All the best

A magical girl or warrior girl would be interesting. Or an alien girl
