November 2024 End-of-Month Report

Hello everyone, and Happy Thanksgiving to all those of you who celebrate it! 

Aden 2.0 Graphics are completely drawn! Now comes the comparatively easier, but still time-consuming task of properly parsing the layers to create the necessary images for the escape system. eliselle did such a great job of putting things in separate layers that I'm a bit overwhelmed at the prospect of sorting everything properly. From now through the first half of December I'll be busy with final exams, but I'll still have some time to chip away at sorting through Aden's layers.

Kaie art continues for chairtie and hogtie. Many bindings still need to be edited for Kaie, Chelsea, and now new Aden.

Unfortunately, I have still not received any word on the health or safety of Bill Lao. Let us hope together as a community that he is alright.

Plans have been made for creating some new CGs featuring Eileen for a EIleen/Zhara team-up quest. This will take a significant amount of time to produce but I am hopeful that I will be able to work on it in addition to the other quests we have planned during my Christmas break.

The Battlebonds team has been hard at work creating new art and coding to expand and refine the game's features. When I get permission from them to show off some of their progress here, I'll be happy to share with all of you!

Thank you for your continued support for Overkill. You guys are the people I'm most thankful for this Thanksgiving!

Sincerely,
KombatWombat of OKGames

End-of-Month Report for September 2024: (Oops)

Hi all, sorry for those of you who actually like to read these: I totally forgot to do my short writeup at the end of September, so here it is:

0.13 is nearly ready to be released to the public: I'm just working on touching up some more of Kaie's Frogtie restraints so that as many of them as possible are in working order. Kaie's basic tie is also pretty much ready to go. Chairtie and hogtie will still need some time before they're ready.

For the entire month and still currently we've had numerous artists creating a huge wave of new art assets. They're working on everything from new characters, new outfits, new restraints and gags, and CGs. Unfortunately, some of our artists have also been battling with various disruptions to their living situations with loss of power due to extreme weather. More time will be needed to complete everything, and I'm hoping to gradually
release the various new things being developed as they're completed.

Here's a list of several specific items that are currently in-progress, along with who is working on them:
eliselle: Aden Remake Frogtie, Zhara, Latex Suit
Admaillus: Evelyn basic/hogtie, CGs, etc.
Trotsky: Seles Standing Pose, livestreamed playthrough
SMoonlightM: Panel Plug Gag for all characters
NightingaleTide: Kaie Chairtie
Eclipse Luxary: Kaie Hogtie
Sigma: Kaie Basic
垣某人: Kaie Frogtie, Athena Frogtie
billlao: comic
Woopstinni: Liliana Chairtie
KombatWombat: binding editing, quest creation
Seiter: Kaie Bunnysuit (Frogtie)
Roppyaku: chastity belt

The Lovense Integration is nearly ready for release alongside the rest of 0.13. Shop using our link to support us with your purchases!

Trotsky continues his free livestream playthrough of Overkill over on our discord, starting 5PM PDT, today! Feel free to watch and hang out in the streaming stage.

Thank you for your patience and support!

End-of-Month Report for August 2024:

Hi everyone! As August draws to a close, here's a rundown on what we've been working on and what our plans for the near future are.

This month, has been primarily dedicated to drawing and implementing new escape art and developing our Lovense integration.

The escape art for Kaie and Liliana has been progressing nicely: all 4 poses for Kaie have made significant progress. Liliana's Default outfit (which we've made last due to gradually layering on more of her clothes, starting from nude, then undies, then casual, and now default with the armor) is nearing completion as well.

Lovense creates Bluetooth sex toys which are capable of connecting with your computer or mobile device for game integrations. We're happy to announce that we're partnering with them to make your didnapper experience more pleasurable! Several devices have been tested and appear to be fully functional with our new integration that allows the in-game vibrator during escapes to directly control the strength of your real-life vibe. We've recently made some improvements to the integration that will make it easier to use and also allow you more flexibility and control over how it works. Look forward to these improvements in our next beta update, coming soon.

Aden's reworked appearance for Frogtie continues to be drawn, as well as Evelyn's Hogtie. Work has also begun on Liliana's Chairtie, as per the results of our latest poll.

Behind the scenes, we're still struggling with creating new patches because the mod manager has not been functioning properly ever since the Truth update. We apologize for any delays in production or bugs with new patches because our process for creating them is highly experimental and could lead to unforeseen problems.

Here's to a new month of progress!

Hello, everyone! This is an end-of-month report for July 2024 for the current state of the mod's development. I'll try to make this a regular monthly occurrence from this point forward.

First of all, 0.12's beta testing period should soon be coming to an end. We've wrapped up the most glaring bugs and issues that we've seen so far, and are working on re-implementing some of our last few missing features from 0.11. It's likely that we won't be able to bring everything back to 0.12's official release yet, and several of those features (the old Overkill prison, jank levers, private cells, outfit selection) were half-baked anyway and are in need of overhauls to get them to a place where I'd be satisfied with them. My hope is to eventually incorporate all these things into the game more organically, such that they can be used throughout the story and regular gameplay.

However, so far we have made the bulk of Overkill's previous features available again, including customizable escape practice, the Wyvern's peak prison, and the handful of Overkill-original sidequests that previously existed. I've also been working on creating new forms of tape restraints (mittens!) in addition to making vanilla's tape restraints compatible with Overkill. These still need a significant amount of work before they're ready for all characters.

We're also still developing some methods to make Overkill more compatible with installing other mods alongside it and those might take some time. We'll share more details about this if we're successful.

I'd also like to apologize for the general lack of quests and narrative-driven content, which I know have been a popular request for some time. We are undergoing some internal changes in the team as we continue to expand our roster of talented contributors, and coordinating the half-dozen new artists and codemasters has been a journey that has taken a significant amount of my attention. However, I'm hopeful that most of these restructuring changes, along with the hectic post-Truth-update scramble and Patreon-to-SubscribeStar movement pains are now behind us, and I should be able to produce something of the sort before too long.

Our artists are all working on various projects, and we should have more to share with you soon! Bill lao's comic's first chapter approaches completion, and I'll be able to show off more of those near-completed pages soon.

I've also been busy with personal life: A summer internship, exams, and preparing to return to law school in the fall. Nevertheless, Overkill development will continue as normal thanks to the ever-growing team's efforts and your generous contributions.

As always, thank you for your continued support on our quest to expand Didnapper 2's features and subject the cast of characters to ever-more-devious scenarios.

Sincerely,
KombatWombat of the Overkill Team
