Progress Report and Announcement: Pausing the development of Hangoverse
I don't really do progress reports much, but since I need to announce that I'm putting Hangoverse on hold, might as well do both at the same time.
Pausing Hangoverse
It might not come as a shock for the 25$ tier members since I ran a poll last month, but I've had very mixed feelings toward the Hangoverse project for some time. It doesn't really do what I wanted it to. It's a nice little project for my fans, but it doesn't attract new people, and it seems to be mainly a waste of time. By time, I mean in the sense that I want to create NTR product, and it doesn't feel like one.
I'm also a bit annoyed for other, more petty reasons. Mainly that I'm giving the game away on Steam and people are not the kindest there. I guess surprisepikachuface, a free NTR game will have bad reviews. And since it's this retarded project to boot, it doesn't help.
Anyway. It's not all lost. Because, while the 25$ tier members overwhelmingly voted for me to simply focus on my two main projects (Aya Edition and He Maid Her Fall), I'm, as you all know, retarded. So instead, for multiple reasons, I decided that I wanted to try writing a very small project. By that, I mean something no longer than 60k words. Which some might think would be an easy thing to do, but when you see what I usually write, it's a challenge for me. Mainly because I know the corruption will go too fast, and it's not going to be very good. It's going to be fast food porn if you will. I don't like when logic goes out the window for the sake of porn (too much). But I still want to try. And I want to put myself in a position where I'm forced to do it. So that's why I'm talking about it here. I also plan to start commissioning the sprites and CGs while writing it (I'm only 2.5k words in). Usually, I wait that I have 100k words written before doing anything.
In any case, don't expect anything. It's probably going to be a story that is lackluster and goes too fast. But there are advantages to small projects (like testing voice acting for example).
Progress Report
Alright, here's what's happening with the projects:
A Promise Best Left Unkept – Aya Edition
I'm missing an animation… again. The holidays kinda mess with the schedule and everything. But I should have it next week, hopefully. So I think maybe the third week of the month, I should be able to release it. As for the preview, I think I won't do one because I think it would be too much of a spoiler, even though it's nothing crazy. Still, for those who saw the end of the last update, maybe you understand. If lots of people throw me rocks in the comment section, I might post one anyway. R-Rocks hurt after all…
He Maid Her Fall
I'm really hoping to release it this Friday. The bad news though is that this update is nothing special. Sometimes it happens that there's not much going on for ten thousand words, and that's pretty much it for this update. So don't expect much. A-And don't be mad…
The Edge Of
I actually received the first sketch for Beth's sprite. As I said, because you guys decided on new sprites, it's going to take a while to have all of them. But this is the first look at how Beth is going to look like in the remaster. The artist asked me which pose I liked more and I posted it on the Discord server. The 3rd pose won. I would have wanted to poll you guys as well, but I wanted to have an answer quickly so my artist could work on it as soon as possible.
Anyway, that's all I wanted to say. You enjoyed your vacation, I hope so. I, for myself, did… for the little that I had. Lots of hangovers all around. That's what's important, no?
