Dev Diary #37: Progress Update September

Half of 2018's second half has passed and the pressure rises as we still aim for a release of Date Mode before the end of the year. No promises can be made yet, but I think we'll pretty soon be ready for a beta version for qualifying patrons to get a feeling for balancing and to "buy" some time to polish UI, effects, and animations.

Cucu is feverishly working on the finishing touches for the level, while I keep throwing the last UI design tasks at her. I myself am busy finishing off the last features and putting all those graphics in.

As for last month, we were able to share some of the progress and take a few next steps with "Polly", the patron-designed girl. Already knowing she will be a "milfy", hourglass-bodied assistant character from an App or Game, she was decided to have a classic D-Cup. Can't go wrong with that, right? Following this, it was determined that the style of her visualization would only subtly show her digital nature with some light scan lines and a slightly holographic look. We posted an update on that along with thoughts on her further development and a sketch resembling all her traits so far.

As we're finishing up the last bits of actual content for Mayu's Date, Cucu showed and explained the different facial expressions she created for Mayu and the way the dynamic portraits are displayed and transition in and out in the game. She also adjusted the text speeds and pauses for all of Mayu's Dialogue after I added that feature to our dev editor. Lastly, the voice recordings for Mayu are now done and we already sorted and edited all the sound bits. A snippet of that was posted to our patron-stream.

It might not be actual progress but Cucu took some of her spare time to paint a special Anaela sticker showing her in some very juicy action as a small 'thank you' to our loyal patrons.

That's September. We're very much looking forward to releasing Date Mode and to go back to creating more actual lewd content ;D

See you around!
