Dev Diary #46

Hi sexy People, I'm back with another batch of news!

The last bigger update post was only for our patrons, so it might have been a while – sorry!

We're still really busy, so I will try to keep it reasonably short. Unfortunately, we can't help but take a comission here and there to stay on top of our personal finances. Still, we pour as much time as we can into Sexy Exile in order to get it out there as soon as possible and hopefully make it pay off in one way or another. So first of all, a big thanks to our patient and loyal supporters, you are the absolute best and the only reason we can actually get things done! <3

Alright, I'll summarize the recent events and developments for you:

• First things first: While the final recoding by our partners itself has not exactly started yet, the immediate preliminary step is now in full progress. Most of the underlying data structures have been laid out. We're using a tool called Articy to create and manage all of Sexy Exile's data and we have built definitions, templates and data sets to make sure adding content will be as comfortable as possible in the future. Quite a bit of actual data has already been put in, for example Mayu with many of her „properties“ as in different outfits, facial expressions, voice snippets, unlockables and so on. I also introduced another new team member to the software and how to put in all the content that has been sitting around finished for a while now so that I can focus on things that still need to be done like a bunch of animations for example.
• Speaking of which, I've also got around to finish 10 of the animations in the new software with about 9 more left and I've started to post them on the patreon stream. That's 3 (and 1/3) of our 6 ½ girls :D (6 ½ because Anaela is more of an intro character with less animations – for now. ) Keep in mind there was/is/will be a lot of other stuff to do, so progress on the animations varies :D
• (non-animated) Artwork in general is now more than 90% done! That includes the backgrounds from an external artist I talked about before and a few reworks of early artworks for the game to get them to the same level. We don't want people to start out with the (very slightly, but still) worse artworks and then have to play a few hours to get to the proper ones :D
• We had several voice actresses create the voice snippets and moans we need for each of our girls. 6/7 girl's sounds are done and only need a bit of mixing to finish. Patrons will soon hear some of them.
• Out of 11 music pieces for the soundtrack, 9 are basically finished - Same thing about the mixing as with the voices. Gotta start posting some of them soon, too.

Okay. I can't think of much else to tell you at this point, but there is more stuff going on behind the scenes, rest assured! I think we'll keep this every-once-in-a-while rhythm for now, I'll still try to not let as much time pass until the next public post ;D
