The Last 10% is Everything

You can work on a project for weeks, or months, but if what you show off is an unpolished or barely-working mess then it's not good enough for an adult game. If I was making a safe-for-work game, then even a really rough alpha demo could be fun. That's the thing about adult stuff, it has to actually be erotic to be fully enjoyable... which is why that last 10% where things get polished and feel complete are so important.

This is mainly why I've been hesitant to show off anything until it was completely ready, so that the final project would be a big surprise. I did not want to show off a project that was half finished, or even 90% done, because it wouldn't be "hot enough". Unfortunately working on something for several months without showing people what I'm doing leads to people thinking I'm doing nothing, and that creates a lot of unnecessary stress for me. 

I know a huge project with multiple scenes and secrets is awesome, but in order to avoid being burnt out I'm gonna have to change how I approach these things. Either way I'm not going to silently work on things for months at a time anymore. My Patrons, at the very least, should know what's going on. I'll start right now by explaining that secret project I was working on not too long ago, and I'll also explain why rather than being done in December like I said it was, it's still unfinished.

Untitled Fluttershy Flash Project

Keep in mind all of these are very much work-in-progress:

The plan was pretty straight-forward. Me and Aer0 Zer0 were gonna make a game that's kind of like Ponka Anal Rodeo, but with Fluttershy instead. There would be some branching dialogue choices, kind of like my last two major flash animations. There'd be futa and female options. Various hairstyles, cosmetic stuff, music. There'd be a variety of scenes and fetishes, a little something for everyone. You know, like a classic project.

Unfortunately, I got discouraged while working on it. Although I can do things pretty quickly in Flash, there's a lot of downsides to using it. It's getting harder to view Flash files, the art quality suffers and takes FOREVER to draw. There's also the fact that my partner must learn Flash to help me, which is just too much of a burden.

Unity Stuff

The good news is that we're going to try remaking the project in Unity. This will allow us to draw the art in any program, which means the end result can look very polished. I plan to work with Scion from StudioWhy, an expert in Unity, to get the project done. 

We have some plans for other game projects as well - hopefully something we can release on Steam someday.
