Game Dev Updates & Poll

I didn't get a lot of time to work on A Night With A  Bat Girl last month, so I've been dedicating a lot of time this month to drawing new CG for the game. So Far, I have another 8 pictures drawn up to fill out the "Anything?" sequence. I should be able to implement the rest of that scene into a beta for you all later this month. If not, I'll just include it in next month's build. If I can't push out monthly builds, I at least want to give you all monthly updates on my projects.

A Night With A Bat Girl is a much larger game art-wise than I've made before. Date a Mink had around 20 pieces of art. Ghost Love had roughly 40. So far, A Night With A Bat Girl has 21 images with another 36 planned. Since I'm not using a BG or sprite system, all of these are full art pieces which I'm drawing in 4k. There's a lot of work left to do. Expect a few more betas before the game is officially complete.

In other news, I've been working to plan what project I should work on next. I know I've mentioned plans for a few games, so I'm curious which of these you all would like to see made next.

The first would be Batty Roommate. I've been planning to rework Batty Roommate into a game where you can go through Honey's blog. Each entry will be a visual novel sequence accompanied by Honey's writing. This would be closer to what I'm doing with the A Night With A Bat Girl than the other projects and is probably overdue since I've been sitting on the webcomic for a long while now.

Second would be Catgirl Care. I've mentioned it a few times before. I keep trying to get it made, but I haven't had much luck. The game is a simple pet raising game with a catgirl as the pet. If I decided to focus on Catgirl Care, I would most likely be posting monthly updates as I learn some of the tools I'll need to be working with. It would unfortunately take longer to get demos out for you all, but this is another overdue project that I really want to see done.

Smaller in scale, I'd like to make Date a Mink VR. Just a simple date n bed game with Eris. The big appeal for me with this one is that I could use it as a stepping stone to Catgirl Care. I'd be able to learn all the 3d workflows needed for the game while making a much simpler title. This would be a VR and Desktop game, of course.

I've also had a small interest in making a Date a Mink sequel with Eris' cousin, Lillie as the star. The idea would be to make a game where you, as a film director, decide what type of film to make with Lillie shot by shot. You could make a drama, an action flick, or even something a bit more saucy. At the end, the sequence of scenes that you would film would determine what ending you get with Lillie. Again, another smaller project, but it may just be fun.

All of these game ideas are things I would like to get to in time, but I'm curious which you all would be interest in seeing from me. Comment below if you have any specific suggestions, but I'm also going to leave a poll right here - https://www.strawpoll.me/18937950

Also, Heart Island is not dead. I have the next comic scripted out, but I've been debating moving away from long form comics so that I can retell these ideas through games. Heart Island may make for a great lesbian adventure game some day.
