5.2 - Downhill From Here

Greetings everyone!

So there's good news and bad news, but really everything was a learning experience it's all good news, right? Right?

Development Status

The bad news is that these new interactive stamina driven events I'm adding to the game are a BEAST to code. Like, 2-3+ days for a single scene, and I put 3 of them in 5.2. What's more is that if I wanted to, I could spend even longer on each one of them, taking into account every single, possible action and variance of said action a player might want to take! To me, that just means these scenes will be ripe for expansion in the future. So yeah, the bad news is just that I underestimated the amount of work that would be involved in these scenes... and that 5.3 will have me writing one for each other main character...

The GOOD news is that I've finished all of those scenes for Mom in patch 5.2! What this means is that all the mechanics for the patch are snugly in place, and the lion's share of the coding is in my rear view mirror! So, now I get to focus 100% on content, content, content. Right now, that means random events. Here's a preview!

I'm having a lot of fun writing these events, and I hope you all will enjoy experiencing them. The contest winner events will be making it in this update as well, and I'm looking forward to getting started on them!

Aside from that, I'll also be updating the existing dynamic events, such as morning coffee, breakfast in the kitchen, family living room time, and mom's bedroom activity.

As it is, and I know I'll regret this but I'm just that confidant, 5.2 is on track for a January release! Most likely, due to the fact that the new mechanics will be focused solely on one character, 5.2 will remain a Patreon-exclusive update, with the following update seeing a timed public release.

Get hype!

Artwork Update

So, artwork... I know a lot of people are concerned about the idea of 2D artwork in the game, so I want to make sure I keep everyone up to speed on things.

As it is, I've contacted and commissioned a few different artists, and one in particular has just blown away the competition. I just couldn't be happier with what's being produced by this person, and I can't wait to start sharing it! Even still, I know that 2D art just won't suit everyone's tastes, which is why I'm still adding copious amounts of GIF media to the game, and will continue to do so. 5.2 will see the addition of Image Pack 3, which currently sits at 44 images and will continue to grow!

With the way things are moving, I would expect an art preview next week, so please look forward to that.

Until then, thanks for all your continued support!

Hey there! So the dream sequences are of course coming, they just haven't been implemented yet. This is because I prefer to add dreams through dynamic (fixed) events, rather than through random or interactive events. Once I move into writing and updating the dynamic events, you'll start to see new dreams added! So you think the collar should have a value associated to it that tracks how effective it's become on the wearer? I thought about that, but ultimately decided to go with something easier to implement at the cost of depth. I think the collar's a lot of fun, even if it doesn't have its own mechanic surrounding it. Going that route would require a lot of checks in scenes that already have A LOT of checks. That said, there will be some custom art associated with the collar that will start to slightly alter her appearance after she's been wearing it for a certain amount of time, so you'll have that bit of reflection. We're just not quite there yet :)

I would like to say a few things first I think that you need to add some dream sequences with Ava based on how the player interacts with her so that if you have had sex with her you dream about it, second I think that you should consider a second line of progress on the cat collar so that the order you give them takes that item into consideration you may want to add a stat to showcase how they are progressing due to that item.

Can't wait to see the artist that you pick. You seem excited about it. Not much of the 2d supporter but you make me curious :)

Seconded!

Twisted Kidney

A quick suggestion . Is it possible that you had a max or by 10 button next to the serum craft ? Because it is really long and boring when you have something like 30 serums to craft to re-sell them .

It's the last one in that image

No scene for Ava bringing home strangers?

I figured it was a matter of time before you ran out of gif material to work with and had to make the switch

when it comes to the 2D images i don't think where vary much per say worried about the actual implmiaton of the art but more the actual artist and time. the reason being quite simple 2D art will make you money and prevent you from being sued gif's will get you sued and you can't possible make any money from it unless you went as far as to higher and direct the scene yourself (that is a lot more expensive then 2D art and much more unpredictable, plus its untested water). what i suggest if your truly worried about your fanbase not liking or agreeing with your dicishin to put art in the game instead of real porn. show us all the artist your thinking of doing, ask for suggestions because you never now you might have missed an opportunity and most importantly do a pole or two for it because that will get us to shut up about it and setal down. at the same time putting in gifs would just allow the game to proceed normally and act as placeholders and stock images to be replaced later, that decision you made right their is probably the smartest decision i have seen someone do on the adult section of patron because you didn't scare away your adence but kept them happy do to you understanding their plight. also just as a pointer that isn't really pointed out some people don't like hentai (drawn porn, amaracano, etc) but can deal with 3D porn. really though it all comes down into the point of tell us what you invasion the art style to be, what the art would do for the game (give examples, girls with dicks thats one big one right their), the artist themselv, and most importantly why you decided to go with art and not other forms (end questions like these) and your audience will shut up (except for the new ones they will ask the questions but the vets will shut them up for you). simply put speak your mind and tell us your ideas and preferences i know that not usually something you do in the development stage but in this case it would be a win win because we will understand and you won't need to worry about fucking us over do to lapses in judgment (bad artist/art is the best example because people would quite you patron if they don't like the art, or legal things because ever since the breeding seasons fiasco artist scare us)

at least you understand that these scenes will take longer and be worked on in later builds. no reason to rush yourself into trying to get everything in one build, you might change the direction later on so play it safe and see how people like it first before truly expanding and finishing it.
