Hi everybody.

Happy Friday! I hope you've all had a great week. There are a couple of topics we want to discuss in this report:

The work:

The second phase of polish is going well overall. I'm two days behind where I want to be, but I'm pretty sure I can catch up later. From the to-do ...

Weekly report 231

Hi everybody.

I hope you're all doing well and have had a great week.

Yesterday, we started the second round of polish. Chestnut has been retouching some of her artworks which became blurry during the posing process. When dealing with longer dialogues, I sometimes try to vary things and keep the player more...

Weekly report 229

Weekly report 226

Hi everybody.

Happy Friday! I hope you've had a great week and are looking forward to your weekend.

This report will be short, as I didn't work last week (aside from the weekend during which I finished the edits I had been working on the previous week). Instead, I took care of our toddler full-time to give ...

Video - thrown across the room

Hi everybody.

Here's a video showing Gomira in a pose from one of 0.7 cutscenes. We had previously used a modified version of her sprite to achieve this, but something about that was a bit off, and we decided that redrawing it would improve the scene and also add variety to the sprite-based cutscenes we have. Please not...

Space Rescue: Code Pink!

Hi everybody.

We've recently played a game called Space Rescue: Code Pink! created by Robin and we really liked it. It has a lot of similarities with What a Legend!, in that it, too, features colorful 2D art, plenty of pretty love interests, and is sandboxy. It has some extra features, such as mini-game...

Weekly report 223

Hi everybody.

Happy Friday! I hope you're all feeling well and are looking forward to a relaxing weekend.

First, I should say that we took one day off last week to celebrate our anniversary. We had both forgotten about it when I wrote the report otherwise I would have mentioned it earlier. Anyhow, here's a ...

Weekly report 222

Hi everybody.

Weekly report 220

Happy Friday and I hope you're all feeling well and have had a great week.

In a few days, it will be two years since we started work on the 0.7 update, and at the beginning of this report, I want to reiterate that both Chestnut and I are aware of how completely unacceptable this development period is, and appreciate all...

Video - foreplay

Hi everybody,

In this video (which is at 4x speed), you can see Chestnut drawing an image that will be added to one of the sex scenes' pre-sex events. In its current pre-polished form, we use frames from the sex animations (with some variations) to create foreplay, but there was definitely room for improvement. This art...

Weekly report 216

Hi everybody.

I hope you're all feeling well and have had a productive week. Here in Spain, even in Galicia, which is famous for its rain, it has been incredibly warm lately, especially right now as I'm writing this, so I hope the weather is treating you better wherever you're reading this report from.

Video - falling (short)

Hi everybody.

Here's a video (at x5 speed) showing the creation of an additional cutscene for an event from Gomira's second quest. This is one of those images that we're adding in the polish phase to improve the overall feel of the content, and in this particular case we had shown this exact action from a different angl...

Weekly report 215

Hi everybody.

I hope you're feeling well and are looking forward to enjoying your weekend.

Video - A happy place

Hi everybody.

There's a point in the later part of Gomira's story where the MC has his face pressed against her boobs, and while this event existed in the original version of the content, we extended it in the polish phase, and that gave Chestnut the idea that perhaps a fun cutscene highlighting the happy situation the ...
