Everything about the 0.12, and more !

Heyo !!!
   Finally, as promised, here's a big public post detailling everything that's coming into the 0.12 version of Ballad of Outstanding Bimbo Sorcery. Sorry for the perpetual delay on this one, I had plenty of unplanned events popping on, changing my plans. But nothing bad, don't worry. Anyway, let's dive into it !

What's 0.12 about ?
   You probably know this answer if you've been checking my news and all, but let's say it again for everyone to know :
0.12 is bringing the long-awaited pregnancy mechanic to the game ! Of course, it's a really big mechanic, that require a lot of work, and not everything is already done.
For the moment, only Illonia can get pregnant, as she got herself more picture than all the other girls combined, it was already a huge chunk of the work.

   And even that is not fully completed, as only her talking pictures, and all of her actions during combat (base pose, attacks, anims) are done, not the scenes. So no, you won't see her big belly in the scene  for the moment, sorry, that'll be for 0.13. Same for birthing, that'll be for later, for now, she just magically get back to her basic shape.

   But the pregnancy system is functionnal, so she can get impregnated in any scene her pussy get pounded, and from any kind of creature. And I have a way to know who did it, to change some dialogues options, and later determine the look of the baby.

   Since showing Illonia pregnant meant redoing all of her pictures to fit this new look, I decided it was a good opportunity to give her more clothing options, to vary a bit. So when she's pregnant, she'll have another dress, specially made for pregnancy. And she'll also unlock a nice cow bikini that she can wear at all times.

   Coming along this pregnancy changes are two big repeatable scenes that can play at your base, with one being the way to get the cow bikini. Both of these scenes, as well as all the rest of the content of 0.12, will be unlocked after finishing the first story arc, that ended in 0.11. So if Illonia doesn't get pregnant immediatly, that's normal, you just haven't progressed in the story enough for the moment.

   0.12 also feature a new character, Margaret the minotaur alchemist. Not only she has the biggest pair of boobs of all the girls, but she also needs to be regularly milked, else they keep filling up, becoming even bigger ! Which means, a small repeatable scene. She's also a very talented alchemist, specialized in pregnancy control. She'll be selling a bunch of new potions related to Pregnancy.

   These potions will allow you to "permanently" change the girl's pregnancy chance (until another potion is consumed), from being completly sterile to having a 100% chance of getting pregnant. There's 5 of these potions, to have a chance that suit you best (knowing that the base pregnancy chance is 40%, as was voted by my supporters). You'll also be able to speed up the birth cycle, or just abort and remove that unwanted baby. So plenty of options around pregnancy, you'll ba able to have it work as you like !

And with that, we should have everything covered in this new update. It might seem a bit short, but redoing all the pictures and animations with Illonia was an insane amount of work. To give you an idea, the total number of pictures in the game went from 3700 in 0.11 to 6600 in 0.12 !
That's also why it took so long between the BETA and the full release, I had to redo all the anims, and it was a ton of work (around 80 new animations).
But hey, that's gonna be glorious !!!

What remains to be done ?
   Not much, thankfully ! All the pics and anims are done, and most of the gameplay is implemented and working, as people can attest after trying the BETA !
I need to implement all the new animations in the game, and make sure they're displaying the correct one. Coding like this is a bit boring and slow, but nothing too hard.

   I also need to do a sprite for Margaret, as I just made a placeholder for her in the BETA. I always like making sprites, even if I always end up wondering why I spend so much time on details you can't really see xD But hey, I guess that makes the game stand out a bit more ^^

    And lastly, there's the dreaded playtesting part. Everything seemed to go smoothly in the BETA, but I'll have to take a bit more time replaying it to be sure everything is working. With it will also come the usual of making the Android port, bringing new saves to the save folder for those who want it, and also updating the walkthrough.

   So in the end, still quite a few things to do, but nothing too big. I'm aiming to have the full release done at the end of the week. That means it'll be accessible to all of my 5$ and higher supporters. As always, it'll be accessible to the 2$ tier three days after it's done, and it'll go public one week after ! So overall, it's very close !!!

What's next ?
   Well, as always, this part is subject to change. I'm trying to balance the size of updates and the time between them, and also vary a bit the new content, but there's always new things to add, delays, and new ideas,  which makes this part obsolete in a few month. But here's my current plan :

   0.13 will be fully focused on updating all the scene featuring Illonia so you can see her in her full pregnant glory. I'm not sure how much work it'll be, but I hope it won't be too much. I also want to give her, and maybe the other girls, a nice status page, where you can see her look, and various stats about her, maybe some little details too. I also want to add another merchant character, selling some stories. I've commissioned quite a few lewd stories that comes along some pinup pics or set I did, and it would be nice to add this all in the game !
Overall, I envision this as a smaller update (famous last words), justy completing Illonia's pregnancy, and adding a few little things on the side.

   0.14 will be a small break in the pregnancy cycle. I'm glad to work on it, and it's gonna be a great addition to the game, but just redoing the same scene isn't the most exciting for me. So to change a bit, I'll focus this update on all the scenes that won the game scene poll. I'm super late on those, but adding them at the same time as a major gameplay feature has proven to be quite a lot. So I'll try to catch back as much as I can and put it in this update !

   0.15, we're back to pregnancy ! Time to add the system to all the others girls ! And with all the scenes brought in 0.14, they should have much more opportunities to get pregnant, so it'll be a good continuation, I feel.

   0.16 should be the end of the pregnancy cycle, bringing birth and kids management. I have plenty of ideas for that, and I'll see how far I go with it. I'll do polls and more post about all that when we get to it. But yeah, it's gonna be fun !

   And that concludes my overall plans for the moment. I'm still aiming at a release every 3 month approximately, so I'd like to be done with all of this in a year. But as always, plans change, I might add things, cut some, split updates in two, etc... But you get the vision I'm following ! It's gonna be a good year, filled with huge bellies and milky boobs !

   And with that, I must thank all of you, who are reading this post. Taking your time to read all this big post show you're really interested in my work, and that makes me truly happy. I know things move slowly and it can be frustrating, trust me, it is for me too. But I'm alone on this project, trying to make my best so that everyone can enjoy it (as long as they like big boobs, of course ! Else this game definitively isn't for them xD).

   A big special thanks to all the people that are financially supporting me, I'm so glad to be able to leave of my art, and it's all thanks to your generosity. You're amazing !
And hey, if it's not the case, but you want to help me make a better game, and have a few bucks to spare, consider supporting me ! Every bit help !

With that said, I'm gonna leave you, with a final thanks for all of you amazing people enjoying my work and allowing me to live from it. Please, keep on sharing the game, my art and more, and I hope you're as excited as I am for what's coming next ! Stay horny, stay awesome !
