Hey 5+ Patrons! Now's the time where you tell the team what our priorities should be. Just fill out this handy-dandy poll and the results will be announced next week.

2018-04-09 22:48:47 +0000 UTC View PostHey, if you played Prototype 5-1, you should use this organized survey I made to tell me what you thought of it.
These surveys help a great deal in identifying which parts of the prototype ne...

Hey look, a really big news post is on the blog! You should go read it! It's a big post so I won't try to summarize it here.
So, as usual, there's an update on the blog.
I want to give special thanks to the patrons who have produced bug reports, particularly those who did so within a few hours of th...
After some very helpful bug reports, 5-1b is now available on the downloads page for the Prototype 5 series. The changelog can be found at the bottom of that page.
If you have an existing save from 5-1 or 5-1a, it will work just fine with 5-1b.
The most important bug fixed in 5-1b is t...
2018-03-27 00:17:11 +0000 UTC View PostThat was fast, wasn't it? Thanks to several bug reports I found an uninitialized variable bug as well as a few minor text bugs. A patch has been issued, and the patch has been rolled into the main release. Check the patron downloads page for the patch if you're using the early copy.
Since I forgot...

That's right, Prototype 5-1 is now going out to patrons. Check those inboxes.

We'll be doing things...
2018-03-26 06:08:33 +0000 UTC View PostSorry, no special patron post this week. Next week, Prototype 5-1 comes out, so I assume you're going to be satisfied with that.

Since I don't want to spoil any of Chapter 5, I won't be posting certain concept art until it's out. So, you get some inking videos this week and next week.
Here's a link to the Doll inking video, as well. Get all ...

Meet Unit #499323, the Maintenance and Repair unit of Sector 96. She's very shy, and likes her job since it mostly lets her work by herself. Since she's in charge of fixing things in Sector 96, you'll be seeing a lot of her. Trust me.
Patrons: This will be the final concept art release for bonus s...
2018-03-06 06:11:22 +0000 UTC View PostHey look, an update on the blog.

Here is the concept for the latex drone, done by hand. Way to go, Chicken.
Latex Drones are used for manual labour and security duty. They are equipped with CPU inhibitors which keep them from thinking too hard or asking too many questions. They also get excited a great deal from the slightest pre...

Without me even asking, Chickenwhite made a second costume for 2855's design. I honestly can't say which of these I like more, they both look dynamic and cool, and they both fit her personality in different ways.
Hope you like it.
2018-02-13 06:55:48 +0000 UTC View PostShort update this week due to me only having a few days to work on the game thanks to my severe illness.
Hoping to have the scenario work for Chapter 5 finished this week. After...

Here we have Unit 2855, the player's companion for Chapter 5. Basically anything I tell you about her is a spoiler, so instead just look at the lovely design.
2855 can change her stats in combat by loading new combat routines. This changes which abilities are usable. She can thus switch between As...

Comrades! Today we have the release of version 1.04. This is the final release of Chapter 1 (barring bugfix releases). 2018-01-30 03:36:29 +0000 UTC View Post
In Chapter 1, there were four very important Alraunes (other than Mei, of course). Florentina and Nadia had character art done, but Rochea and Adina did not. In my original draft work, Rochea had all of two lines and Adina didn't even exist.
Well, as time went on these characters got bigger and mo...

On Regulus, the golems have a very strict hierarchy. Lord Golems are administrators and researchers. They have a great deal of power and often command a number of Slave Golems to do their manual labour.
I really like this design. It's actually the first monster design that I made direct suggestion...

In Chapter 5, there are two forms of currency. The standard Platina is accepted by some elements of society, like the Steam Droids, but Regulus City doesn't take them. You need to produce work credits by doing useful things around the city. Coincidentally, those useful things are the minigames of Ch...

So now it's 2018. Happy New Year and all that.
Our regular posting schedule will resume on January 8th. At that point, Patrons will get to see the three minigames in development. Me? I've been pulling so many hours that I just need a rest.
Oh who am I kidding. I'll stay up all night programm...

That's right, it's holiday bonus time for all you lovely patrons out there.
Not a lot on the game progress front, because I've had about 2 hours to put into the code over the past *week* due to extra hours at work and, of course, The Holidays.
