Defending Lydia Collier Development Log

Sorry for not posting in a little while, there's been a lot I've been doing for the game this month that I can't really show you as it's not creating new content exactly.

Firstly, I've been clearing the custom backlog, these will be out shortly over the weekend and any not requested by now will be created after v.0.16 (you can still tell me what you want if you've subbed at that tier, just it won't be worked on until then).

Secondly, I've done all the Accounting and Taxes for White Phantom Games for 2022/23. Incredibly boring and not exciting at all but it is something that I'm legally required to do now once a year as thanks to everybody's support this is now my full time job.

Thirdly, I've been working on loads of coding and changes for v.0.16, and this is getting near completion. I'm going to try and get the full v.0.16 update out in December, and this will add Ellie, Jenna and Lydia's final content plus all the coding changes for the social media and achievements. I've now got all the images and coding for achievements basically done, just will need testing at some point in December.

Fourthly, I've created a new unique hub location for the game that will be used quite extensively in the final two days. The Tube is quite a staple of London, and the reason why it hasn't really featured is simply I didn't have a good asset for it. Early this year I got one, and you may have seen it in quite a bland form with Ellie's evening. Now I've remade a lot of it and the MC will start using it near his house, I've changed a lot of things to make them fit in with DLC's universe, and also getting some audio for it, and now I'm done with this area. There's some images included, and you'll see quite a lot of it on Jenna's path, and having this premade, pre-lit and ready to go will speed things up a lot in future days.

Additionally a lot of people have spoken about the animations, or lack of, in the game. I tried reaching out to some very good NSFW animators I managed to find and whilst they had reasonable commission prices, none really wanted to work with the software I use, or use my character models. So I have been looking into this if this is your gripe with the game and will continue to do so, but I haven't found one person interested yet.

Finally, I've been continuing to make Jenna's content and a couple of previews from her day so far are attached.

Last year I did the Advent Calendar for Christmas which I think I'll do again this year, so keep an eye out for that on Twitter (@WhitePhantom18) or Discord (https://discord.gg/gRv4BFq6WY)!

It will just be one image per day this year as I've got an update to focus on and finish, and I'll post the images in 4k for everybody at the Supporter Tier and above to keep on the 25th when it is all done.
