v0.4 early access 1 preview

v0.3 reflections:

Last months early access build is more or less the final version of 0.3, and I'll upload it to itch some time after this months early access build.
Currently I'm working on the last quality of life feature I wanted to add to 0.3, which is a settings menu for rebinding keyboard and gamepad input.

There were some features that ate up more development time than I would have liked (looking at you, big belly blend and outfit system rework).
But adding them now also fixed some underlying issues with old systems that would be way harder to fix if I had saved them for later.

Overall I'm happy with how v0.3 turned out, having so many of the base systems and features in place should free up more time to work on the fun stuff going forwards.

v0.4 early access 1:

This months build will be the first early access for v0.4 and will focus primarily on animations.
This gives me an entire month to plan and experiment with future features while doing "mindless" blender work.

Here are the cinematics in the pipeline for this months early access build:

It was refreshing to animate the buses instead of Chloe, so I got a bit carried away and ended up blocking out 4 cinematics.
And I've already added a filtering system to the february build that disables cinematics based on their sexuality, the current filters are:

I'll also get as much work done on the following cinematics as I can, but they might get pushed back to march if I run out of time:

Main goals for v0.4 (March build and beyond):

As always this months build will be uploaded around the 20th and the next poll will be posted sometime between the 10th and 15th.

Hey I think an upgrade system could be cool like you bring back what bits you died with or maybe a reduced amount to prevent hoarding them so that it could make it easier to get down into the deeper levels and there wasn't a huge drop back from losing. I understand if that's not the direction of the game and the difficulty is a part of it

In an earlier build the clothes would fly off when health was reduced to a certain threshold, and it caused an aoe stun on nearby enemies. But I didn't like having a gameplay mechanic being tied to character customization. I might add it back in as an optional setting at some point, but without the stun.

Clothes should ripp off when she gets hits alot !? Pretty cool idea

I have plans for some world building, I don't know when it will be added though. As for why she just plops out of a TV, it's because I didn't want there to be a predetermined reason for her to be in the dungeon. An early prototype had a standard rpg story, but it kept getting simplified to the point where I just removed the whole thing. I feel the blank slate protagonist fits the game much better, that way players can come up their own reasons for why she would do the things that she does.

floppystack

Any idea when the "story" will be expanded upon? MC kinda just falls out of a tv ready to rumble, in more ways than one :P

v0.3 ea4 hotfix 1 has a fix for some of the broken stairs pathing for allies. Or did it happen in the hotfix build? Either way thanks for the bug report.

floppystack

So found a bug if you charm the trader then leave the floor when the trader uncharms it teleports you back to the shop floor even when going back down the stairs

Coffeedevil

Gotcha, thanks for responding! That sounds pretty neat, keep up the good work!

Their current strength level is about where I want it to be, not too complex AI-wise but also more than another melee spammer. But if they ever need to get buffed, that might be a way to do it. Chloe will probably only have the current bodytype. I want to add other playable characters at some point, but getting the game to a state where it has some sort of final boss and can be completed is a higher priority.

floppystack

Speaking of, I was wondering if in those character customization plans of yours there'd ever be any kind of buff body or amazonian figure for Chloe? Completely understandable if not, but I am curious.

3eeDeeWhoo

Goofy ahh Kobold xD

In that case, would they still be able to store cum and instead of getting inflated and debuffed like Chloe, they instead get stronger the more they have giving a good risk to them having access to your team? It's just my take on making it feel more punishing if the buses manage to actually collect from the followers

Inflation Pilled

Their models can only handle a bit of belly deformation, so it would require some work to implement. It's easier to get Chloes model to stretch out since her belly is already kind of round. My logic was that since the buses are professionals at this sort of thing that they wouln't suffer any of the downsides that Chloe does.

floppystack

I love what I'm seeing so far!

Badguy292

will the buses have cumflation applied to them after animations too? Like, would they get more powerful if they have more cum or something?

Inflation Pilled

I'm dying laughing at the faces of the allies.

Jon Evans

I am BEYOND excited for these new additions. Don't get me wrong, I love Chloe but MAN I am amped up for it

Mifuni

Can't wait to see the finished animations, love how female bus has that good an ass even Frank is gobsmacked lol

Kevball

Fair enough, plus it gives us new pairings with cinematics to keep things fresh too. Really looking forward to this.

Bran

Dont worry, she's still the main character. What I meant was that I've been staring at her model for long that it was refreshing to take a small break.

floppystack

Nono, I was just goofing around when editing the animations poses for the preview images. They might go a tiny bit wonky though.

floppystack

But...but what I loved was Chloe...

HiB

New outfit and customization options?! Fuck yeah! Edit: Oooh no. I just saw the kobolds' eyes, lol. Is there any way those are going to be the end result? Because the buses fucking characters until their eyes go wonky would be absolutely incredible
