Lust is Stranger v2D-0.4-osx-experimental

Hi folks!

Here's a Mac OSX build of v2D-0.4. As always, it's experimental because I can't properly test these builds.

No serious bugs were reported, so no need for a patch for now. Let's go straight to v0.5!

Lust is Stranger v2D-0.4

Hi folks,

The release is finally here. There are new environments, characters, and new "extended" versions of "that" diner scene.

In the new "Settings" menu you can now configure trophy notifications and a bit of the sound mixing, including an option to mute music and/or "NSFW" sounds (gasps, moans, splashes, and ...

Yet another Status Update

Hi folks,

Day job drafted me to iron out some "urgent" shit during the last couple of days, throwing downhill the plans for a weekend release.

So, this post is just to state that I'll need a little more time to catch up with the lost time. Sorry about that. 

A few more art/animations to bake, tests and ...

Status Update

Developer's Diary #87

Hi folks!

Quick post here to say that I'm halfway through the next release's content. It will feature new explorable environments (campus/boys dorm) and more of the scenes/content from the original version.

I'm also including a initial Settings screen, where you can configure a few options for the game like sound ...

Discord Server

Hi folks!

People frequently ask me if I have a Discord server. As a Gen X that crawled through the muddy pits of ancient IRC networks, I never understood much Discord's appeal. But today I decided to move my butt and create a server.

So, in case patreon's integration doesn't work properly, here's an invite to a ...

Developer's Diary #86

Hi folks!

Just a quick status update here. I'm working on the last scene planned for the release and I believe I can post it by the next days (at most by next weekend).

This development cycle during Holidays didn't allowed me much more than a few shitty hours to work, but I hope I can pick up the pace on the next ...

Developer's Diary #85

Hi folks!

Sorry for the long silence, but Holidays and the first week of the year are always demanding for me IRL. I was able to keep working on some base content, but now I think I'm back on track for the race to catch up with the original version.

For the next release, I'll change a couple of mechanics that I do...

Developer's Diary #84

Hi folks!

Quick status update here. I already ported all the basic systems to the new remake project (save system, trophies, basic UI and objectives). The idea is to have all the groundwork ready for next version.

If you tried the demo version you noticed I'm keeping the core plot line, but also expanding the orig...

Kicking off again

Hi folks!

Quick post here to say I'm kicking off again, and it feels good to use the be back to the classic animation model. Unity 2021 2D animation tools and the render pipeline were awesomely improved, including better support for the mesh animations I use and freaking real time sprite lightning !

I'll keep some...

Here's something a little different, while I'm in pre-production again...

A few time ago I started having fun during my spare-spare hours studying some Unity systems (tilemaps, AI behaviours, pathfinding, etc...). I never released anything made from it, but here's a little video preview.

Next steps

Hi folks.

As I wrote in last post, the current project is causing me unwelcome distress. I thought a lot about it and came to a decision.

I won't release more builds using the realtime 3D renderer. I have the idea to remake the project using animated pre-rendered art style and gameplay similar to Goons Raid Her. ...

News

Hi folks !

Long time no see! I didn't stop working during these weeks, I just... well, I like to be honest with everyone who supports me, so I will share my thoughts here.

I'm unsure about the future of the LiS project, due to technical and non-technical issues. 

I've been trying work on hot(er) scenes ...

Lust is Stranger [v0.3.2.3-beta]

Hi folks!

Surprise post here. During the few available moments for work I had during these last weeks, I tried to implement my initial idea of the "intimacy" animation framework for the LiS project. The idea is to create a library of synced animations that could appear in any hot scenes of the playthrough, but also coul...
