Greetings

It's been a few weeks since my last post and I'm happy to report that I've just reached the half way point at a healthy 50% (maybe a little over). The main plot is practically complete minus a couple of animations and graphics, this leaves the character narratives and side stories/tasks.

Right now my focus is completing the remaining H-Scenes and coding in the dialogue for this main arc and branches into the side ones. All the remaining work consists mainly of 2D drawing/animations, text and the testing phase. Practically all of the quality of life improvements and additions to the game code are complete, along with the 3D models and scenes excluding a couple of locations.

The priority right now is content, content, content. I've been looking into ways of speeding up my workflow and I'd like to think I've been successful in that regard. Many people suggest using AI to help with some of these aspects but I'm an old horse who's stuck in the old ways, and besides, with the way I do things it would slow things down rather than speed them up.

Seeing have of my to-do list complete while good it serves as a reminder there still a ways to go before it's in a ready state. Many will be happy to see much more lewd content and others will be pleased to actually see the plot move forward in a meaningful way.

I'm looking at early next year to release the next version, although nothing is set in stone yet. Like always I just want to thank you for playing Mayview in it's infancy and would like to see you stick around and watch it grow into something much bigger and greater.

I'll return in another few weeks for more news and progress. Take care.

This post is a few days later than I'd like, but I wanted to wrap up the last of a couple of story related vehicles for this next release. Now that it's out of the way I can safely say progress is sitting at around 30%.

Right now most of the main story is complete, a large chunk of the 3D animations have been wrapped up along with a couple of Side Tasks. Right now that leaves me with a few new locations left to model and lots of 2D graphics and H-Animations.

Next week I plan on finishing off as much of the character story scripts as possible because most of what I have has already been coded into the game. Things are going rather smoothly despite the workload.

There's some additional characters that still need to be added and the rest is continuation of the existing ones. I'm excited to see how it all comes together as the end of the year pushes on.

0.4b is large in scope with a heavy focus on new content and story and where the larger narrative really takes off.

I'm going to leave it there and return with some more info in a few weeks. Also a reminder that you can follow me on either this site for updates or on Itch.io for notifications when the next release drops.

Nineteen Eighty

It's been a few weeks since I dropped the minor release and I've been hard at work getting to work on the next one.

It feels good to get all the boring stuff out of the way such as streamlining a bunch of things and adding quality-of-life changes. Now I can focus on moving forward with the story, more h-scenes and animations.

The last week I've been brushing up on my drawing and doing a lot of writing. The scripts main chapter and a few side tasks have been fully fleshed out, and right now it seems a very ambitious but doable because I don't have to mess around with a bunch of smaller stuff.

Looking at my todo list I'd estimate that the progress is hovering around 10-15%, this can
speed up and slow down at any time so It's not a fully accurate indicator about the actual progress.

A good chunk of the new characters are complete along with another vehicle model for the main story. I still have a few 3D models to finish before I have everything I need to begin working on a couple of action sequences.

There's still a lot to do concerning the relationships with other characters and expanding the intimacy between them. I have a lot of content to deliver in 0.4b that I didn't have time to put in the last one for various reasons. Most of these are with existing women and at least one more who haven't been introduced yet.

I'm going to keep this post brief because I don't like to speculate about things so early in the release cycle. In the meantime I just want to say thanks for playing and watch this space for further developments.

Spirit of Mayview - Release v0.35b

This is my first post on SubscribeStar and I will start things off with a new game release.

Here's the release for Spirit of Mayview 0.35b. Sorry it's like a month late but sometimes it's the way it goes.

This is what I consider a Minor Update to what my future uploads will include. It expands on the side stories and still includes additional narrative and content. This release focus's on the town of Mayview itself and lays the groundwork for the main story that will be continued in 0.4b.
