February 6th 2024: Progress Report

Oh god it's already February, hands in the air screaming while the house burns down panicking

So what have I been up to since the last Progress Report? Mostly two things, one is that a few days after the last Progress Report, Steam finally approved of the game! It is none other than

Modern Pink Elf RPG developed by the talented Sensouya-san (Warshop) and localized by our friends at CursedAtelier!!!

Modern Pink Elf RPG is similar to Sensouya-san's previous eroge which we also published, Kiara -The Knight of Icicles- (which unfortunately Steam did not approve so that gave me PTSD for much of December and January while waiting on Steam's verdict for Modern Pink Elf RPG......) except the setting is a different and there is no combating at all, just a pure slut slutting it up around town.

I really liked it so I decided to get it published on Steam for you all, and hope you enjoy it! It's available at a 20% launch discount on Steam until basically 2/8, so grab it if you haven't yet! And if you enjoyed Modern Pink Elf RPG, you probably would enjoy Kiara -The Knight of Icicles- too if you haven't gotten it yet over at Itch.io!!

So yeah, after it was approved I worked on final touching up and implementing Steam Achievements (which was bugged for the first several hours during release 😭). I always disliked how originally, you can only access the smartphone and navigate the main menu/smartphone with only a keyboard, so I worked to make it all accessible with a mouse or gamepad too.

The second main thing since last month has had to have been just more and more and more board gaming. Among the many I have played, my favorites have been Pax Renaissances and Imperium: Horizons/Classic/Legends. And while it wasn't my favorite, I also played Kingdom Death: Monsters and the way the game was designed essentially occupied my brain space with inspirations and ideas for the next game. It continues to impress me with how board games are designed and played and how those certain elements are either abstracted or just not at all in the PC games I have played, and I've played a ton. So it continues to be a very educational (and expensive...) experience with just going hog wild on board games to catch on years and decades of board game design history and iterations.

And that's it for this month's Progress Report! The sun is slowly rising earlier and slowly staying up in the sky slightly later, and the world continues to keep moving and changing! Stay safe, stay hydrated and I'll see you all again later!
