I'll start by saying that there's still no steam page. I'm trying, but the process (for some reason) requires me to submit way more things for review than the average dev has to.

Anyway, the game is actually getting a lot closer to a first release. The game is now 3 scenes away from having content for 3 different girls (which was my self-imposed point for a release). Probably could've gotten here sooner, but the artist was sick for the past 2 weeks, which slowed things down a lot.

The biggest missing piece now is the pixel art. With every character (except one) still being in progress.

I hope that by the next post I'll have both a steam page & a fully playable first version to show for.

I wanted to wait until the game's steam page was approved before making my next post, but since that's taking a little longer than I had anticipated I've decided to do one now.

I'm still alive and the progress is going well. All of the girls are now done too (their dialogue sprites) so I can finally show them all now.

Right now I'm hoping for a first playable version to be complete by the end of November and an actual demo by the end of January 2025. 

I'll make a new post whenever that first playable version is done & whenever steam will finally approve the game's page.

Hey all, it's been a while since the last post, and I thought this was the time to drop 2 small updates. When I say small, I actually mean pretty big and not small at all.

The first of the two is that I've completely deleted the 0.6 update. It wasn't an accident. I did it because I didn't feel it was turning out how I wanted it to.

I don't think it was bad, but I felt it was way too different from the way the previous updates played out and it was just way too sudden of a shift. This also brings me to update number 2.

I've been pouring a lot of my time into a second game, you can see some of the girls here:
As you can see this one is fully 2D, with no use of Honey Select, which means I'll be able to release on Steam once I feel comfortable with the progress I've made. It doesn't have a name yet, but everything is going pretty well and the first version will be playable soon™.

This also brings me back to Smash the Guild. I want to finish the game, but considering its inability to be released on Steam and its content (which goes against Patreon's ToS, basically leaving me open to getting my page instantly removed), I think placing my full attention and time into the project would be a bad deal.

This is why going forward I'll be scaling down Smash the Guild. The game's scope will be significantly reduced, it will go down from 5 to 4 total areas (which means cutting 4 girls from the game), and animations will be significantly simplified and/or reduced in number.

I know this sucks, but I want to keep making games long term and I don't see any other way of moving forward. Obviously, if anyone has any questions about this, feel free to shoot me a DM.

This is a tiny update. 

Only 1 Penny scene added and 1 Hero Tier scene for Nora.

I should've also fixed the crashes that happen when you open the menu in some spots. If it's not fixed then it'll be in 0.6 as I've found the reason why it happens. As always you can download the update over on itch: https://cheedle.itch.io/stg.

Now for the 0.6 delay part: I've been very busy with my actual job in recent weeks (hell, I'm even posting the free version 4 days later because of that) and thus I've decided to move the release of 0.6 from the end of August to the end of September.

The update is now also available for guild members and you can find the link on discord.

You can download 0.4 for free over on Itch and hero tier supporters can find the download link for 0.5 on the discord.

0.4 changelog:

Added the first half of the second area, which is a bunch of scenes with Nora.

0.5 changelog: 

As I said, it's a tiny update. 

1 scene with Penny and 1 Patreon costume scene with Nora.
