Kuma Dev Blog #14

It's this time around huh? 

Quite something to talk about this week actually. 

First things first, there is a minor adjustment of our update schedule, as you can see from the updated schedule of May posted on our Patreon frontpage. 

The first update (8th of May) will NO LONGER have the animation, we have to postpone the animation to 22nd of May because it's not ready yet, so instead, we will update you with a secret scene, it will be hot, I promise. 

With that being said, there will be no Content change in May overall, just some minor rescheduling within May. :P

Secondly, I hope you guys liked our 1st grayscale picture. I think it is a sustainable reward for you guys. I struggled a lot with our incapability of offering you guys no more than MT while you guys are being so nice and supportive, so hopefully, this grayscale art can complement the game and quench the thirst while we are making the next updates. :)

Patreon, you guys should enable emoji features, seriously! 

What's more? Hmmmmmmm, right, about our May's update, and this is actually something Very Serious that I want to get your opinion on. 

The team wants to release May's update to the general public, as well. And here is why:

So we want to ask you guys for permission, and we know that some countries are starting to re-open, like some European countries and parts of the States, BUT, I've personally known many good people who're livelihood was heavily damaged by the lockdown and it will take them at least a month to rebuild their lives, which means they won't have any money to spare for another month but to keep themselves alive. on of releasing our May's updates, starting June, as lives start to really go back to normal, we would go back to our original release terms - Only releasing the previous update to the general public. 

BUT I'm not a dictator, so I will post a VOTE right after this since doing so directly hurts your interests and it should be left to you guys to decide. Our previous rules apply - If we couldn't get more than 2/3 of approval rate (agree to release May's update to the public), we won't do it. 

Now that I rambled on for so long, Progress update!  :P

Script: 

Fighting Fighting, there is a lot to cover but we are on a pretty good track. It will be ready by 8th. We hired an awesome editor (extra cost, sigh, But WORTH IT!) who would help us refine our scripts. 

Later Day 11 and most of Day 12 will be updated in 8th's update, there are a lot of interesting stories going on so stay tuned. 

Art:

1st animation mostly done, still needs a few days to refine it, smooth it out. 

Working on the secret scene for our upcoming update, it will be finished on the 7th. 

The schedule is really tight but since when is the last time the artist had let you guys down? :P

Coding:

Can't start until the scripts and arts are ready, but our coder will nail it in no time so no worries. 

Musica:

I was looping one of the music that will be updated this month. It is SOOOO good. 

It's called "Hierarchy Problem" :P

VA: 

Writing Tiger instructions of the 1st animation now (well not exactly now but right before this)

Karen and Claudia will be fully voiced, and the two animations will be fully voiced too. 

GUI:

Remember I said our GUI was finished? I lied... lol. The last item will be updated - Game icon. 

Editing: 

We finished editing ALL the previous scripts (day 1-11 + ALL the sex scenes)

It will be implemented in our 22nd's update. 

It's a long blog but thanks for sticking with me. This is pretty much it unless you want to hear me ramble on with my JP self-quarantine experience.  LOL. 

Again, Thanks for your awesome supports, and thanks for all the encouragement you guys offered. It means a lot for the team and it is those kind words and financial support that keeps the team going. 

Take care, Stay safe, Stay healthy. 

Team Kuma
