Hey everybody,

It's time for another public post.

I am getting really close to the first subscriber release of Goblin Hole. I am working on beta testing with my top tier subs as I write this. I want to update everybody on my progress, and also get the public's opinion on something new.

So first what I've been working on.

Most of this build update will be about making the game more of an actual game. I have added a menu in that give you the ability to control sound options, and exit the game. There is more work to be done on the menus, but I have gotten in the bare minimum. I also added saving. The stone you see in the screenshot is a save point in the game. There's more, but you'll have to wait to play to find out.

It is beginning to feel more like an actual game. 

This coming sub update will also be playable for free, once the next update is released. I think this will be the plan with releases. At least for now.

Next I'd like to get people's opinion on something I'm thinking about trying. Long story short, I have a drawing pad that I have found a good workflow with. I did an HD drawing of Ember, and I'd like to know what people think about. If there is interest, I am willing to try to do more like this. Maybe even drawn h-scenes. It takes me a little bit of time to make them. So if people aren't interested I don't want to waste time.

There's a lot more to come, but that's all I got for now. Stay tuned for future news and game builds.

    I am getting fairly close to having the first sub demo ready. I am currently testing, and putting on the finishing touches before I look for beta testers. I am also working on a new H-scene for Nyth. When that is complete, I will have made one scene for each of the main characters, and will be free to create more. So I would like to know. Out of our three main characters, who do you want to see more H-content of most?

     Most the polls I make will be to gauge what you guys want to see. I plan to add scenes for all three characters. However, if there is a character that is a crowd favorite, they might get a few extra scenes. (Also, in all fairness, sub's votes will have more sway in polls.) 
This will also be a short intro for our main cast.

Ember:
     This is our main character. She is a new adventurer, having just turned 20. She was tasked, along with her rival Nyth. To earn enough money to save their village from poverty.
     Ember has not yet chosen her job/class. In the game you will be able to switch between mage, rouge, and warrior. Using power-up items you find. Don't get hit, or you will lose your outfit. As well as, the power-ups it provides. (Kinda like Super Mario)

Lila: (Lee-luh)
     Though the smallest, she is the oldest of the three at 25 years old. A mage with a sort of obsession with the mysteries of the Goblin Hole. To become a full mage you must make a magical discovery. So, Lila has set out to find the source of the dungeon's corruption. She guides, and mentors Ember through the dungeon, and it's lore.

Nyth:
     Short for Gwyneth, but she hates that name. She's essentially Embers rival from home. A warrior, known for her brawn. The only thing thicker that her thighs, is her skull. Stubborn, and tough. Like all good warriors should be. She's 21, and only a few months older than Ember. A complete newbie. Even though you couldn't tell by her confidence. 

And finally their in game sprites.
