SUZI ANGRY!

Just a bit of fun posted to the Discord server recently.

V0.9 Progress Update 18/05/21

Sorry it's been a slow week this week.

My course of antibiotics finishes tomorrow. After that I'll be able to sit back at my desk and work normally.

News - Health Issue Update #3

Hi.

Sorry, I didn't want to make any more posts about my leg, but I need to give you an update as this is going to affect things for this week.

The leg hadn't improved at all so I went to see my doctor again on Wednesday. Latest diagnosis is cellulitis and the treatment is a week long course of antibiotics. Howeve...

News - Health Issue Update #2

Hi.

I visited the hospital this morning to have my leg scanned again and they gave me the all clear. No blood clots.

Still no diagnosis, but as it now doesn't appear to be anything serious you'll be pleased to hear that I won't be making any more posts about it.

Sorry for the fuss and disruption. And thanks ...

Nurses Lucy and Suzi

Time for a shift change at Hillside Hospital.

Nurses Charlotte and Emma

Sorry things have gone a bit awry this week. Hopefully I'll get some positive news next week and will be able to get things back on track.

Thanks for your support.

News - Health Issue Update #1

Hi.

Firstly, thank you for the messages and kind wishes. I really appreciate them and am extremely grateful to you.

I've just returned from having my leg scanned and, unfortunately, it was inconclusive. Top of the leg is clear of clots but too much fluid in the lower leg for the ultrasound, apparently.

The p...

News - Health Issue

Hi.

I'm sorry, but there isn't going to be any progress updates this week. Things are on hold for a couple of days while I deal with a health issue.

I went to see my doctor yesterday because my leg is swollen, and she sent me straight to hospital with a suspected blood clot. I have to go back on Wednesday for a sc...

Monthly poll to choose one of the previous $10 pinups.

Patreon Tier Changes

I have updated the Patreon tier descriptions to reflect the changes I announced yesterday and to correct the $10 tier, which was outdated.

$1 tier
- Removed mention of release dates from the news feed because I will no longer be setting them. I will instead provide advanced notice of release once it ...

Changes to Release Dates and Development Updates

After missing my last release date I said that I would no longer set a date for future releases. I'm still aiming to release new updates on roughly the same schedule, every 8 weeks, but they will now be released when they are ready.

I'll post a weekly development update for $5+ patrons to let you know what I've been doi...

V0.9 Teasers

Charlotte heads for the sauna door. Can the MC convince her to stay and talk to him?

Emma needs a big hug as she struggles to deal with the aftermath of the party.

And Charlotte joins Emma and the MC for a run on their secret beach.

V0.8 Update and Changes

Sorry v0.8 still hasn't been released and I apologize for being quiet today.

Clearly things aren't working well at present and I need to change the way I do things.

V0.8 needs some work still. I will release it on Saturday 6th March.

After that I won't be setting release dates. I will start giving more detai...

V0.8 Release Update

Quick update.

It's just gone 8am here. I'm determined to get v0.8 released today(for $5+ patrons), but there is still some work to do and I can't guarantee it will be finished on time.

Whatever happens, it isn't going to be released in the next 12 hours. Apologies in advance if it is late.

News

Hi. Just some small items of news.

I will be switching my Patreon account to charge up front before the end of the month.
This shouldn't affect existing patrons unless you decide to switch to a higher tier in the future. If you do then you will have to pay the difference in price immediately.

Adding Animations to Hillside

We are very close to hitting our big funding goal which means that I need to start thinking about adding animations to Hillside. 

Before I decide exactly what I'm going to do I'd like to hear your thoughts about animations in visual novels and what you would like to see in Hillside.

Do animations add anything...

Suzi Walk Cycle Animation

Another quick test animation. This time it's Suzi.

Emma Walk Cycle Animation

Motivated by a comment left by Pax, I rendered a quick animation test.

[The animation is stock and not created by me.]

Right click on the YouTube video and click on "Loop" to loop the playback. Unfortunately, it pauses at the end so playback isn't smooth.

It seems to play better on Vimeo :

To celebrate reaching 300 and then 400 patrons, here are two images of the Lloyds enjoying a night out at a club.

Thank you.

V0.8 Teaser Images

The conversation with Charlotte resumes after she hears a loud noise and rushes to the MC's bedroom.

Emma hides behind the MC to avoid being seen while shopping for Charlotte's birthday present.

And a visit to the spa for Charlotte's birthday sees everyone in a more relaxed mood.
