Release Announcements & Halloween Poll Results!

Alright! We’re a little over halfway through October and it’s time to talk about what’s been happening at Tentakero HQ. It’s been hectic but we have a lot to cover today.

For starters, we are going to go with the official release date of November 15th instead of October 25th. While it is possible to finish and launch by the 25th, we run the risk of making mistakes while rushing to completion. Aside from this, the Steam store requires having the game displayed as “Coming Soon” for at least 2 weeks before launch, which was way too on top of us. The pledge cut off date will still remain as October 25th to receive a copy through Patreon, since we still plan on reworking the tiers for November! This leads us to the next thing!

Email Reminder!

PLEASE PLEASE make sure your email on Patreon is accurate and you have access to it. Game download links and activation keys will be sent to the emails that we have on file here on Patreon! We would really hate for you to not be able to get your copy of the game after supporting us!

Right before release we’re going to be sending out emails asking how you would like your game, either on Steam, itch.io, Gamejolt or as a standalone download. Of course, we’ll make sure to let you guys know when those emails have been sent out. There are a couple other platforms where the game will be available, unfortunately, they don't have a key activation system. This means that the platforms available for Patrons to claim their copy will be the ones mentioned above.

This Month's Progress!

There has been massive progress in terms of polish, here’s a list of what’s going to be different on launch day when compared to the latest build.

• Implemented Final Cerise Cut in Camera Animation: With this, all cut in cam animations are complete until we work on Lucretia’s. Cerise’s new animation is for the Shibari Rope.
• Added Particle Effect to Mira’s Charm Scene
• Implemented final batch of Colette voice lines: 10 additional scenes have been voiced.
• Implemented final batch of Sophie voice lines: 12 additional scenes have been voiced.
• Implemented Voice Lines for ???: 2 lines recorded by Eide for a certain character that shows up at the end of the true route.
• Improved Voice Audio Mix Levels: Normalized voice levels across the different characters. VFX volume knob in then settings can now push voices louder and starts at higher decibels.
• Patreon & Twitter Buttons Removed from Main Menu: Various publishers/store fronts required not having a link to other platforms in game.
• Inseminator Changes & Implementations:
  • Implemented to Room 3 and Working on All Characters
  • Inseminator no longer auto boosts orgasm meter when inserted: Mechanic has been changed to grant orgasm meter bonus when climaxing and depends on the pump level. Character preference is also taken into account. If a character hates the inseminator, it will instead detract from the orgasm meter. Additionally, using the inseminator externally on the body does not grant orgasm meter, but does affect what a character thinks of a session. (This affects the bonus tokens in story mode.)
  • No longer able to click CUM in the toybox with the Inseminator inserted: Climaxing still possible if using an anal toy but not with the Inseminator alone since it doesn’t have a thrusting action to it and is controlled by it’s own pump.
  • Added 2 Sound Effects: Pumping and Climaxing SFX.
  • Fixed Inseminator Layering Issue with Sophie in Room 1: Using the Shibari Rope and the Inseminator in the mouth at the same time wasn’t layering properly.
  • Fixed Toybox Toggle Issue that wouldn’t disable the Body Part selection bar.
  • Fixed Issue in Room 2 where Inseminator would cause other Vag toys to stay on screen after being removed.

We still have a bit of time and are working hard to make sure everything is just right for launch. There’s going to be a few more things improved and added over the coming weeks!

Project Cappuccino Trailer is ready!

We’ve put together an official trailer for Project Cappuccino that we’re eager to show you guys! Stay tuned because it will likely be posted this weekend along with a link to the steam store page!

And now, Time for the Halloween Poll Results!

Vampire wins! Maybe it has something to do with some of you guys having a taste for a vampire already with last year's Halloween Colette? In any case, we're eager to make an actual vampire!

The Razor Cut hairstyle won by a small margin. Personally, this hair style seems to really fit a vampire.

Hair color is black! Gray hair was in the lead for a while at first but it was slightly edged out as the poll continued.

I'm skipping the body type options because Average came out on top for both of them by a huge lead, however, we weren't expecting the Elegant personality to have such a huge lead either.

Last but not least, the Extra Traits! It looks like we'll be going with Chains, Fangs and Piercings. All three of those options scored high enough for us to include them in the design process. Doku and I will brainstorm some character concepts with these features and then she'll likely stream the drawing process of the first official concept art! Stay tuned for when we announce that!

That's all we've got for now, hope everyone has a great weekend!
