Hi everyone,
A slightly different progress report this time. First I'll talk a little about myself, then about the game, and finally I'll share several marketing announcements.
On my end, things are getting better. I'm getting back into the work routine I had before all of my health issues. I do have some administrative work to deal with soon (a lot of tax-related stuff, what a joy…) but aside from that, nothing is planned other than work.
As for the game, progress is going well. With my routine back in place, I've been able to move forward quite a bit, as you'll see from the numbers.
I now have all of the lewd animations for this chapter blocked out. Some of them still need to be rendered, but the animation work itself is done, which is a major milestone. This chapter will have three lewd scenes. For comparison, Chapter 6 also had three, while the other chapters only had two or even one.
Story-wise, I decided to add 200 lines of dialogue to the scene with Cassie, both to give her a bit more character development and to try something a little different. You'll have to tell me what you think when the release comes out.
I've also planned to add a scene of around 300 lines. I haven't written it yet, but I really like the idea behind it. It will explore a bit more of our hero's past. I still need to figure out exactly how I want to write it, but I already have the context in mind.
I still have around six long scenes left to pose, involving several characters, as well as the final action scene. But as you can see, things are moving forward nicely.
Here are the numbers:
1,260 renders
4,400 lines of script completed
38 animations, with some still left to render
And finally, the marketing section, with three big announcements!
First of all, Ataegina Act I is out now! I'm really happy about it. The developer is a very good friend of mine, probably the best friend I have in the game development world, and he truly deserves the best. It was the first adult game I ever played.
You can find his game here: View game pageSecond announcement: Glowing Stones is now in a bundle with Ataegina and The Neverwhere Tales.
It's a Complete the Set bundle, so you can still buy it and get the discount even if you already own GS. Here are the links: View game page View game pageAnd the third announcement: the game has been invited to take part in a major adult games festival, including AVNs and other titles, with more than 400 other games featured.
