Weekly Roundup 128 - Looking Back at 2022!

Hi everyone!

I hope you all had a great holiday period. for me being back with family here in Australia brought a lot of warmth into the end of this year.

We're now upon 2023 and I wanted to take the time to showcase all that got done on this Patreon during 2022!

Looking Back at the Animation Sets and Smaller Games:

So during 2022 I made 2 new animation sets as well as a small mini-game!

The first Pack was called Riveting Restrictions and was my "Back to work" project after I had taken the month off in January back in 2022 to visit family.

At the time of sporting 17 written parts it was a lot of fun narrative content for a small package. People really enjoyed the bondage pose and expressions I think!

Next up after that was Who's a Good Girl and featured full voice over and a more linear and fun short story of teasing and playing with Isabelle.

It was also the first time using a fun text animation tool in Unity to get all that wiggly text!

And finally and most recently we have Loona's Time to Shine. Which has been my post popular release to date and introduced a lot of new people to the rest of my work here. 

It was a lot of fun to make my own take on Loona getting teased, tickled, and pleasured into utter submission.

Looking Back at Bindmancer Progress during 2022:

The Bindmancer started 2022 as a single demo level with no narrative context and no AI.

By the end of 2022 we added a lot! And that lot includes:

• A level selection screen. Including narrative information and stats for the level. Including voice over.
  
• A tutorial level that teaches the basics of how to play the game.
  
• A new prisoner type, complete with an encounter minigame.
  
• A new enemy type with some unique tricks and captivity animation.
  
• A sound effect pass. As well as more music tracks.
  
• Lore Entries with sketch illustrations showing and giving context to what's going on in the dungeon.
  
• A completely reworked enemy AI and collision system which has improved the combat and navigation in the game.
  
• A gallery to show off discovered content.

So what's coming in 2023?

I think for the most part it's going to be a the continued fulltime combo of working on the Bindmancer with the goal of making a fun to play erotic adventure game, along with a few animation packs scattered throughout the year as well.

I think I do want to give a go at making at least one male focused animation pack in perhaps making one where Caroo gets into a fun femdom situation. And then perhaps another female character after that one.

For the Bindmancer I think making a boss battle level would be great for showcasing how rescuing one of the main character prisoners plays out.

I also want to create some level-up progression mechanics so there's a feeling of forward progress in playing through each level.

I think those two things are the biggest things I want to tackle in the game for the starting point of the year. :D

So what did you think of 2022 and the art, games, and animations made here? Did you have a favorite art pack? Do you have a hitlist of characters you want to see entrapped? 

I'd love to know. And thank you so much for your support during 2022!
