Hey there, nudies! Sorry things have been slow for a bit. Real-life stuff has unfortunately been getting in the way of building our nudie game. Three out of the four of us on the team are actually in the process of moving, including yours truly! I had to spend much of the last couple weeks just cleaning my house top to bottom to put it up for sale! It's officially up on the market, and once it sells, I'll be moving across the country from Louisiana to Oregon. Now that that's out of the way and I can't do anything else but wait for it to sell, I should have more time to devote to our favorite nudist!

We've still just been working on this opening area of the demo - tweaking the script, setting interactables, building the cutscenes out. Again, just going a bit slower than usual due to real-life complications. It's coming along really nicely, though, as is the beach area!

 

We also briefly experimented with Amber's face a bit. Amber is fully 3D from her eyes to her nether-regions, but we had a thought - what if Amber's face was completely 2D and simply drawn on? Anne drew a new face for Amber's model, and... check it out!

 

Pretty cute, right? Sadly, the 2D face was a lot more annoying to manage in practice, and would require a lot of coding to constantly swap out new textures for different expressions and whatnot. Though to be quite honest, it goes to show just how impressive Bear's modeling skills are that the 3D face still looks VERY 2D, like it was also drawn on in a different style. We might just see if we can replicate Anne's face in 3D instead. Not sure if that's going to be done in time for the demo, but we'll see!

That's all for now, though! Thank you so much for your support (and patience), and see you next week with another progress report!

Hey there, nudies! Just a small, text-heavy update today. Unfortunately, this has been an extremely busy month for me personally, and I'm kinda holdin' up the works when it comes to implementing dialogue and filling out the cafe zone with its interactions. See, I don't just write comics (and games), but also help manage a comics site and currently gotta help out my fellow creators file their taxes and keep their businesses afloat. Hopin' to clear out the rest of my work this week so that I can hunker down hard on MNL!

As mentioned, the cafe zone is the first real area that you as Amber get to walk around and explore. It has a good amount of dialogue and things to click on, and we're in the process of finalizing all of that. I'd say we're roughly halfway done, and could probably finish that section up in the next couple weeks if I can just get some time to sit and work on it. It's coming together nicely though, and I can't wait to show it off~

And speaking of showing off! Anne has already finished next month's prequel Patreon comic! You can get a sneak peeeeeeek in the panel up there! Amber is SUPER cute (and nekkid) all throughout this one, and I know you're gonna love it. These prequel comics have been really fun to do, and they've been a great way to help flesh out (pun intended) Amber even further in ways we hadn't quite considered in the main game! Things we can incorporate later down the line, for sure.

Last but not least, the beach zone is about halfway done! Texturing is taking a bit longer due to how many unique assets there are, but it's looking NICE!

 

I seriously can't wait to plop Amber in there for some photo ops. Bear's learned a lot in the process of working on this gane, and I think this is shaping up to be his best work yet!

That's about it for tonight, though. I'll try to get another progress report out to you sooner this weekend. Again, apologies for the delays. See you again soon!

Hey there nudies! Huge apologies for the delay in progress reports! Between the holidays, work, and world events, it's been a busy time for the Birthday Suit team! I've also been especially laser-focused on getting more cutscene work done now that I can properly edit them in-engine, and it's given me a bit of tunnel vision. Hard to pull myself away from Amber's exploits to write about her adventure's progress reports. Sorry, sorry!

The main thing has just been polishing up these cutscenes and making them truly shine. Lots of dialogue edits to better fit the visuals and timing of scenes, a lot of new visuals to keep scenes engaging and snappy, adding music and sound effects, that kind of stuff. We've finished our biggest cutscene - the game's very opening! And it looks and sounds and reads fantastically! I couldn't be happier with it! The team loves it! I love it! And sadly, I can't really share it! I can't upload a video of it because it contains nudity, and even if I could (which I did), video compression does a number on it. I could post it on the discord, but I think it would be much better to experience it in-game in its proper context. So sadly, I'm going to show INCREDIBLE restraint and just keep it in the bag for now. I just have to work even harder to get this demo out faster so you all can experience it!

Everything else has been going smoothly, too! I hope you all liked our rewards for this month! We actually went through a number of different ideas for pin ups before settling on the one you all got earlier this week. There was one that we ended up liking so much that I ended up requesting a finished version of it as well. It didn't quite suit the pin up feel, but it was just so cozy and relaxing that I knew it deserved to be finished. That's the image you're seeing up at the top! As apologies for the progress report delays, have a comfy, cozy, nudey Amber pic from Anne.

Bear's also been back in the kitchen and working on the beach zone. We're already at the texturing stage, and having a lot of fun with it!

 

I think we can probably finish this one up this month, though I'm not sure if we can fit it into the demo. Maybe as just an empty exploratory area before we add NPCs and such? Would make for some nice photo-ops...

But that's all for now! I'm already itchin' to get back to cutscene editing! Thank you all again for your support, and see you next week with more!
