It’s saucy time #10
＼＼\\٩( 'ω' )و //／／
Greetings, men of culture (and ladies)!
It has been a restless month for all of us here at Lucid Realm. The past weeks have been a very reflective and constructive time after the first prototype, we have received plenty of criticism, love and maybe some tiny hate, but they’re much appreciated. Our production is well on track, and the planning for Patreon has been getting much smoother. I want to make sure you guys get the reward you deserve (*´∇｀*)
I suppose I shouldn't keep it in the oven for too long. Serving time ε=ε=ε=ε=ε=ε=┌(´▽｀)┘
Highlight Events
Patreon preparation
Patreon turned out to be considerably more complicated when it comes to pledgers’ awards. And with that bear in mind, I really want to get into details of how you can be rewarded.
Have you guys printed out any Shred & Tear items? Check out this DYI Skateboard S&T designed by the super talented @titanricky08. I would be very excited to know if you’ve got any ~~ I’m working on ideas for merch for you guys too.
These are our tentative ideas for the time being, please cast your votes and I’ll see what fine treat I can fix up for you!
A. Kajun-simp-T-shirt for a fierce outfit
B. Kajun-mug for your hot morning coffee
C. Kajun-poster for the wall over your bed xD
D. Kajun-4K-wallpaper (because why not?) ~

Check out one of Kajun-chan’s … b-best shot ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ) from our member @Jim Jim on Discord
Current State of Shred & Tear
Kajun-chan’s close-up shot
When I was working on the first concept of Kajun-chan (or I might say with any character concept), I focused mostly on her personality, and how her appearance can show her true self.
For Kajun-chan, her aggressive-looking metal armor is not the only indication of just how hot-tempered she is. Before being captured by Tentamon, Kajun-chan was already naturally fearless, straightforward, and short-fused. Her facial expressions, therefore, should be sharp and piercing to convey this idea. Striking a fine balance between fierce and cute was one of the initial hurdles for the team, but we managed to come up with a design that’s both powerful and sexy.
Don’t you lie to these eyes, she knows. (*´ー｀*)
New comic!
We’ve got a short comic series coming soon that serves as a prequel of sorts to Kajun-chan’s raging era. She was once a normal girl living her best life, until those freaks came! Looking at that young, naive Kajun-chan. She is much calmer now, knowing that anger will ruin the bigger picture. But don’t you say that to her during her battle. She’ll shred you instead…
Kajun-chan: You’d better warn people, PDD. YOU have to handle the consequences, don’t you?
Hardcore racing tunnel
“Harder? Isn’t it already hard enough as it is?”
Yes, you read that right. The tunnel race is about to get even harder. Since I am a fan of fast-paced action and high doses of dopamine, it is often vital that a level be made hard enough to satisfy the adrenaline rush, and there’s no better fit for this than the tunnel race segment. Granted, it can be a bit overwhelming, and I know you might leave this part of the game with somewhat 100+ death counts, but you have my word: It’ll feel awesome!
You have to keep your head on a swivel looking out and avoiding obstacles while dashing at blazing speeds. This will be incredibly intense, like a searing flambé.
Teleport feature
Testing time is here. Since the previous prototype, I’ve cooked up a big batch of new ideas to test out. All of them will cover the life of Kajun-chan before she can escape from these creeps. Not only the battles but also personal alone time for our girl.
And about this Teleport one, it will most likely shift you to an unexpected part of the base camp when you are caught off guard, or you may just teleport to a tutorial area where you can train Kajun-chan skills in peace!. So be prepared, you’ll never know where this will take you on the Lucid journey ;)
What do you think of this feature? Will you be able to handle it?
Kajun-chan: Stop asking them about non-sense PDD. ME MYSELF & I can handle it. ಠ_ಠ
Combo pop-up display
Another day, another battle. I tried out the combo display for you so the player would have some kind of reward for mass killing!. This not only gives a sense of how resilient enemies are but also shows Kajun-chan’s skills & speed during battle. However, this is only in my draft. Is there any way I can improve on this one? Some suggestions on Twitter for the kill count naming, which sound really thrilling! ( example )
Any other suggestions? Let me know in the comment, eh?
Kajun-chan’s skills level up
As time goes on, Kajun-chan will develop more skills, leading to better performance during battles, but guess what? It will also allow you to customize her appearance to your heart’s content ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Our men of culture will surely be excited about this. I bet it with all the lewd in this world.
The customization range definitely can be much wider than you thought. That really depends on your imagination alone ;)
Lucid Studio mode
I save the best for last. Cause this is what you have all been asking about since day 1. The fan-service. Lucid Studio mode is built on this core value, and I am overly excited to bring to our beloved players a whole new level of ‘satisfaction’.
There will be animations. There will be poses. Some might even be explicit ones (should I release them as an exclusive package dedicated to Patrons that support us?). Let me know if you’d want that as a reward!
Kajun-chan: *amazed & angry at the same time* PDD, you say what poses?
