Friday Post #52 - 2021 coup de grâce

Alright the final week of 21, we made it! Woo! I hope you all have a safe end-of-the-year celebration, and our 22 will be very very good. I can feel it in my bones. Expect this week’s report to be a little on the light side due to Christmas and all that.
Date Night
Final preparations are going into the first internal build of the new systems, after that, we will have more to talk about. However, I wanted to chat about our inclusion of the Inkel product Ink. This is going to be the driving force behind our conversation systems in the game, with this system we can track a lot of unnecessary statistics about the interactions in the game, how you treat NPC’s, and how they should reflect that respect back to the player. Naturally, it means a lot more text and vocals to be written, but ideally, it means a more natural conversation. Not that we will go that deep with Date Night, but the system is capable of it.
Elewder
The first batch of rooms and minion testing for the Egyptian-themed area is done, the game is feeling really nice with the new minions in place but there is a lot of little mingling things that I am not happy with that will need addressing before we can launch the patch. However, we have taken the opportunity to build out the remaining playable character models we need for the game. The ugly bastard merchant, the femboy alchemist, and the traitor succubi. We will continue to work away at the build to make sure it is perfected, we won’t make the same mistakes we have with releasing too early.
Under Contract
UI has been fully implemented into the game now, along with making a few flow changes and additions to the base project. As it stands now, we have a very focused idea on what the first release of the game will look like, a small area of the first level and one character to work towards the hug scene with. In total, we have 13 cuddlable characters in the game but art always takes time.
Wet Nightmares
I know a build was promised for this month, but as it is, things take a little longer to get through. Erkerut is making great strides with the narrative of the following chapters, once we get builds flowing it should be much easier to get things out on time. Sorry for the wait.
Ready for another week!
Stay moist homies!
