State of the Game update April 2022

The next state of the game update is here! It's a big one, so let's jump right into it.

Additional artist

Unfortunately the war in Ukraine still rages on, which means some of my artists still cannot return to work on the project. That said, like an absolute badass, a new Ukrainian has joined the team. Blacklight470 is despite the war working hard on creating CGs for the game and as a result the game has made leaps and bounds in April.

As always we're all hoping for an quick end to the conflict.

W.I.P. Updates

I am also introducing a new monthly post: The W.I.P Update. Some of you might have already seen it. Here I share sketches of both new and old games. It will be a way to share a bit more of the behind-the-scenes things that are going on. If you're interested, check it out here.

Logo

We now have an official logo for the game! If you saw the previous poll post, you will have already seen it. Our very own logo, made by a designer and everything. I am quite proud of it and am so happy to share it with you all.

It definitely makes the game feel more legit.

Poll

Next up are the results of the recent poll asking... "Are you into milfs...?". Turns out... you were! You really really were! So expect there to be a handful of lovely older ladies in the game~....♥

First demo when?

So I have stopped giving you guys a date for when the first demo will be out. Simply because I did not know. From re-writes to wartimes, the project has already seen quite a history behind the scenes. That said, things are looking up.

I know exactly what I want the first demo to contain and we're making great progress towards that goal. The main character model is being worked on, the super highly detailed CGs from Octomush are slowly coming in and slowly but surely, the backgrounds are getting populated with background characters.

Right now I'm going to look for someone who can do the graphic user interface. As well as an additional background artist who can take over work from Coldslums until Paypal gets restored in Russia.

I have a vain hope that maybe.... MAYBE the demo will be done in May. As stated before, I'm hoping not to have any PLACEHOLDER images in the game as well as doing thorough bugtesting before releasing. The next poll will actually be about that, so keep an eye on it.

Wrapping up

All in all, the game has been doing really well over these last few weeks. There are hurdles for sure, but we're overcoming them one by one. The team is growing and the new artists are learning to match the artstyle of the game. We are all working hard on getting the demo out as soon as possible.

Thank you all for your continued support! Seriously, without you guys I wouldn't have been able to hire additional artists. The demo is going to be a reality soon and we'll try getting it to you as soon as possible.
