2024-10-09 14:36:02 +0000 UTC View PostHello! Spoilers ahoy!
You've been warned.
So, in typical fashion, I seem to have bitten off more than I can chew ^^'
I'm not too far behind but I am behind. In trying to include a few extra characters, I have encountered bugs and delays. This means a 5.0 update is gonna be pushed back by atleast a week. I am aiming for a mid-october at this point. To be more specific, no later than October 18th.
By trying to include ...
Hey, y'all. Just wanted to drop a quick update. I have been hampered with the next release. That's why I've decided to put off putting out a pre-alpha 4.6 until I can fix a couple annoying bugs. I have been working on creating scenarios outside of battles and giant events. In doing so I discovered the dialogue system was a bit buggier than I had realized before.
The good news is most of the major problems have been fixed and I'm back on track to creating new content. Most of the bar sc...

Spent a bit more time than I wanted on giantess movement AI, but it seems to have paid off. I am planning next to look into the dupe glitching bugs during crafting, figure out what setting are and aren't being saved to data and why, as well as finishing content for Gwen and Roxanne.

2024-08-19 16:45:07 +0000 UTC View PostJust a quick post to address this issue if you weren't aware. Starting in November, Apple will be taking an additional 30% charge for patreon subscriptions made through their iOS app store. The easy loop hole here is to subscribe to my patreon and other patreon's through the website/android/or anything not Apple related. This will only apply to new or returning subscribers.
There is nothing I can do about this and I won't be giving Apple a cut of anything so long as I have the optio...

2024-08-16 21:23:43 +0000 UTC View PostHey, y'all. I wanted to provide an update to a rather lackluster month. So right off the bat, I am running behind schedule. That much is obvious. There were more than a few things that took more time than expected to get through, namely debugging battles and giantess encounters, the ailment systems, as well as a few other changes made to how I was organizing scripts and resources within the godot engine, all of which were tedious and unfun to get through. Not for nothing, July was also full ...
2024-08-02 15:07:37 +0000 UTC View PostSo, it's been a month of a lot of silence. I've been focusing on some key aspects of the game and reworking some mechanics. Let's get right into it.

2024-05-17 05:27:17 +0000 UTC View PostAight... So, I overpromised. I won't lie... Pre-Alpha 3.0 is what 2.2 was supposed to be. Enough changes have been made that I felt calling it 3.0 was justified, still, I did not meet all of the goals I wanted to by the end of April.
Some of those goals include finishing the introduction and adding more content for Tina, Gwen, Olivia, and Roxanne. Gwen did get a bit of extra content, mainly used to showcase the new giant encounter system which acts as a secondary mode to normal battles,...
2024-05-02 04:35:47 +0000 UTC View PostMinor patch addressing some broken stuff. You can find the download on the discord.
Fixed overworld damage in Reception
Fixed game crash on save file loading
Patrons can download the pre-alpha release on the Discord VIP-Lounge channels.
I'm going to try to release more frequently going forward. This may be a bit ambitious but I think by the end of April I can reasonably have the intro cut scene, crafting, character creation, and more interactions between Gwen, Roxanne, Tina, and Olivia done. That's my goal for April. Patrons will receive mini updates going forward as progress continues.
CHANGELOG:
Okay, so, first off, sorry for the delay. I hate to make excuses, but real life has been tying my hands and taking me away from working on this project. So I won't lie, I haven't gotten as much done as I had hoped. That being said, I have some things to report, a lot of which has been posted on the discord in private channels, but let's review anyway!
Hiding Mechanics
Hiding has gotten a big upgrade. Giantess now have a new state that has a chance of triggering e...
2024-03-14 22:28:05 +0000 UTC View PostI'm a bit exhausted, so I'm gonna make this quick and provide a changelog. I'll update this post later as well as twitter and other relevant forums with more detail.
Changes from Pre-Alpha 0:
While many patrons still haven't voted on the recent poll I'd say it's pretty clear that Arachnophobia mode is pretty popular. I've spoken with Garrisen and I'm gonna commission to do some artwork. He'll be drawing up some new sprites for just the spiders in the game to start and then we'll go from there.
Whether or not I commission for the entire cast of enemies is yet to be seen. I'll leave the poll up for now for anyone who still wants to cast a vote.
This is a patron only poll.
So, I've been planning to implement an arachnophobia mode for some time now, but it's not been on the priority list. Chat on the discord has lead me to a fun realization. What if... Arachnophobia mode didn't just change spiders into funny black rectangles that say "Spider" on them and instead changed every bug enemy in the game into a variant bug girl waifu.
The change would be entirely aesthetic and all for the lulz. I also would c...
There are two versions. One starts in full screen, which is the current intended display version. The other starts in windowed mode which is to account for people using monitors with less than 1080p display and those rare few who may be experiencing graphical issues due to custom settings on their graphics card.

When you start a new game you'll spawn in a small section of the Red Garden near the Main Entrance. The rest currently hasn't been mapped. There are no story events or tiny NPCs. You can explore most of the Grass Jungle, which is very empty and incomplete at the moment.
You can enter the Manor by going through the Grass Jungle to the hole in the wall in the west. Enter the Lobby by climbing through the Mouse Tunn...
2024-01-30 04:55:03 +0000 UTC View PostHey, y'all! It's been a while since my last update so I wanted to chime in. The holidays have, rather predictably, hampered my production quite a bit. Still, a good amount of work has been done. If you haven't been on the discord server, you may have missed the following
A lot has happened in a short amount of time. Save/Load files have been implemented, a round of recolors for enemy sprites has been done, a couple re-rendering experiments have been done to improve and take advantage of a higher resolution as well as the color options available, I implemented the simple beginnings of a tile map system to quickly build levels and design maps with some sort of consistency, and the UI has received some substantial updates.
Patreon wants me to ask you a qu...
I've restarted the trello in order to outline my goals going forward as well as keep track of my progress. This will include everything from highlighting particularly bad bugs that need attention ASAP to outlining the goals I think I can achieve as well as the ones I hope to achieve for each successive release.
Right now, the outline for the first tech demo can be viewed on the trello. It describes the features I hope to be able to show off within a month or two. There is a lot to do b...
Let's talk!
The rebuild is coming along pretty well. I've been working mostly on getting a basic turn based battle system in place and have achieved this for the most part. The player can enter basic actions such as to flee battle, to use an item, or attack an enemy with an equipped weapon. The enemies have randomized units and levels, just like in OI, and when the player flees, the troops do not disappear but remain on the battle and can be re-engaged again. Each enemy will retain dam...
