Date an Otter January Devlog

Hi there!

I promised I'd try and get out a monthly update as to what I've been working on. I don't have another demo to share this month, but there's still a lot to talk about, so let's dive into it.

First of all, the first Date an Otter demo went over really well! For a good bit there, it was easily my most popular game by a longshot. Here's a graph to demonstrate just how well the game's demo did at launch: 

Ally would be mortified to discover this many people read her inner thoughts and watched her masturbate!

Hopefully when I drop the next demo, it'll get the same amount of attention! It'll be some time before that, though. The current release schedule looks like this:

• Patreon Ally Demo
• Patreon 1st Chapter & Public Ally Demo (you are here)
• Patreon 2nd Chapter (SOON!)
• Patreon Final Chapter (male) & Public 1st Chapter
• Final build

Notice how the next demo says soon?
That's becase the art for the demo is already half-way done. I only need to draw the new female CG and I can start putting things together. I suppose I also need to make new music too, but that shouldn't take too long. The roleplay scenes you can choose this time are somewhat simple musically.

What scenes?
The genres you can expect to see are Thriller, Sci-fi, Drama, and Comedy. Naturally, Ally and Lillie have an assortment of costumes and props lined up for these naughty sequences.

That's not all I've been up to!
Around December, I noticed an uptick in attention on A Night With a Bat Girl. The site that was sending these users was hosting a Spanish repack of the game! It was awesome to see that a translation of my game had been created, unfortunately they had decompiled all the game assets and uploaded that to the internet. Since then, I've struck a deal for them to take down that build and I've reworked the translation into a patch that can be used with the latest build over on itch.io!

On top of that, a fan reached out to create a second translation of Date an Otter's first demo. I'm not sure how many fans that I have who speak Brazilian Portuguese, but there's now a translation patch for the demo as well!

These two translation patches should be up later tonight, but I'm not done yet. 

I'm planning to offer translation tools for anyone who wants to translate any of my visual novels. I'm more than happy to support fans in creating mods and patches for my games like these, so reach out if you're interested in creating a fan translation!

Finally, I suggest you follow Smex over on twitter. We have a project we're working on that we should be announcing within the next couple months. All I'll say for now is that I hope you like cute girls.

I hope to have the next Date an Otter build up within the next month or so. If I miss that deadline, you can still expect a new development update to let you all know what I've been up to. Thanks for your support everyone!
