[Preview] [Syrup Town] - Progress Progress Progress!

Howdy folks! Quick post today going over the things I've finished in the last week.

I've updated all tarot cards:

All 21 tarot cards, and I added veggie versions of the tarot cards which means no more missing cards for vegetarian players. I redid a number of other shots as well of the random encounters and intro too, though the Pocketmanz cards will have to wait until v5 for their overhaul.

Aside from other things like bugfixes, fixing wonky images, adding some new color palletes, I'll also be adding a new third skintone closer in tone to the original dark skin:

I had a grand ol' time playing around with some shots I'll probably use for the eventual female protag route:

Some shots of Helena:

And a pretty tough sequence I built in pieces on a white background (I'll add a proper background later):

And finally, I think I'm happy with this final look for the new non-furry cast:

I like how they strike a balance between being taller to appeal to the more vanilla crowd, while also fitting in with the Syrup Town artstyle!

How do they look? Still too chibi, or just right?
I needed to re-do the expression sets anyways using the new model, and to include a few more expressions per character. Lemme know what you think!

As always, I recommend the .webp version of the others, there's no noticable quality drop I can see and it's like 1/3rd the size.

EDIT: Whoopsie, I missed a number of bugs in v3, including Angelica's wallbutt scene always displaying images with a donger, broken achievement images in veggie mode, the dress upperwear item being duplicated in the wardrobe, and a really, really weird bug where the letters weren't falling on the title screen on the desktop version when using PNG images

The online version has already been updated, and I uploaded a new APK above, but downloaded players can grab a bugfix here to upgrade to Syrup Town v3.1, which should fix all the issues:

  A smaller update to get back into the swing of Syrup Town.
  I've got a lot more still cooking in the oven but I'm determined to get back into the flow of updating every month.
  Maybe I can even get back to my old record of twice per month? We'll have to see!

The last visual overhaul was me putting every image in the game through img2img, but many of the tags I used for characters changed between models, and a lot of easyfluff's weirdness still lingers. So, this time I stripped out every character and outfit keyword from the game's cgs, and regenerated them all totally fresh!

And now they'll match the new content, Yippee! Still, this is only the CGs for the main cast, so the intro, random encounters, tarot cards, and pocketmanz cards still need to be overhauled.

It means the update this time is on the shorter side. But I've been keeping organized soooo:

Future Content

Yes indeedy I have a roadmap!

The expression overhaul is what I expect to take the longest, depending on how the generating goes. Based on feedback I've decided to make Helena a top, so that'll be fun to write! And beyond that I have another roadmap for even further beyond:

As for the non-furry version, I have temporarily disabled it. Clicking the button will now give an overview of why; I'm trying to overhaul that as well so that non-shortstack enjoyers can still enjoy the game.

Lots to do, I hope you enjoy v3, and I hope you're excited for what's to come!

[Syrup Town] [Preview] - New Postwriter Script Who Dis?

v3 Progress, almost done just gotta finish writing all these wallbutt scenes. Here's a sneak peek!

How does the new styling look? I spent a good bit of time fighting with python and apparently subscribestar has sanitization methods when writing inline HTML, so I can't replicate everything perfectly.

Super annoyingly, they let you specify an element's height, but not its max height. What's up with that?!

Since making that post a few people have said they were interested in writing characters provided I do all the coding/actually implementing the character into the game, so I've been playing around with some more dommy designs so I can include them in the training data. There's no guarantee those authors will actually use any of these but they were fun to make:

Player images with them are pretty scuffed but they get the point across.

For writing syrup town I actually have a design document to keep track of how mechanics work and rules I stick to regarding the protagonist's character traits and such. Previously it was just a .txt file but I moved it into a google doc:

If anyone ever wants to make characters for syrup town there's no proper mod support yet but I'll post it here in case anyone wants to try their hand at it.

[Preview] [Syrup Town] - New v3 Feature

Hey y'all, noodle here!

With Hentai University v33 finished, I have a pretty large backlog of syrup stuff to show off, but first things first I thought I'd tackle what is by far the most requested feature for Syrup Town: The ability to play with both vegetarian and carnivore modes enabled at the same time.

Yes, that's right, Syrup Town will now have a dedicated vegan mode, wherein you reject all advances from everyone. Activating them both will trigger a new ending upon leaving Angelica's office. Similarly, beginning the game with both modes enabled will give a variant of that same ending. Both will have Angelica finding the human has, instead of getting down and dirty with the townsfolk, simply left town to go on a fishin' trip with sure-to-be fan favorite character Skrunklechoob.

I myself am quite enjoying my break, and-

... What's that? April fools day? Oh, sorry, I missed that this year. No prank for you, this is an actual feature being implemented in v3.

Talk to you again soon!
