Everything going way too slow this month.. v.v

Hey everyone, It's been almost 2 weeks since my last update and thought another small one would be nice.
Work is going slowly right now because of me working and having less time + bad mood that gives me even less motivation and energy atm.
Was hoping to get everything done by 25th this month but that probably wont happen.
I have a free day tomorror so I've got the time to do some more stuff, let's hope I get something done.

So far I got out most of the bugs that the current version of the game has.
Fullscreen should work now, some minor hang ups and some gallery related bugs have been fixed as well.
Had to rewrite a lot of scripts in the whole game to make it work for some reason.
Definitely changing the software as soon as possible. xD

I also extracted the text of the game to search for grammar and spelling errors, since english and writing isn't exactly my forte. xD
I did correct a lot of stuff but I still have to reinsert the text into the game by hand. :/

Title screens are also done and animated.
I will upload them together with the link of the public version of the game later this month.
Here's a small preview though if you're interested.

Like I said in the last post, it's nothing big. Just some small movements to give the title more life.

Last thing I'm working on before I put everything together again is the patreon exclusive animation.
I decided to make the cheat menu in the title screen patreon exlusive too. So if you have Ideas for any additional cheats you can just let me now and I'll add what I can. :>

The animation still needs some time though, that's why I think that I won't get done till the 25th.
I finished the picture but I'm still far from animating. As in the last post, I'm taking apart the image and put it together as a model to properly animate it right now.
Depending on how many different animation loops I want to make out of it the animation itself will also take some additional time to make.

Here's a convienient lightray version of the picture though, so you can imagine how it could look like if I actually get it done.



I'll upload an uncensored version of the picture on Furaffinity once I'm done animating.
The animation itself will be part of the patreon version of the game and as an downloadable hq video on too.

So far so good, wish me luck with the creating and sorry that I'm taking my time,
I'm still pretty bad at all this.. D:

Thanks for everyone that follows my post's and progress here though. :3
I'll keep you updated, hopefully.

Just some random Update on what I'm working on right now... :>

Thought I should  give some update on what I have planned for this month so far, so impatient people like me have something for now and I can stop breaking my head that anyone could think that I'm not doing anything or loose interest. xD

So here's the plan:
:D

Right now I'm working on the 2 title screens for the VN Demo.
Yep, 2.
Thought it would be cool to have one of them randomly pop up upon opening the game.
Right now they look something like this:

I tried to give them a more painterly style unlike the rest of the art in the game.
First time trying that, but I think it came out alright.
Still need to work on my background skills, but let's shove that aside for now. xD

I wont do too many changes on them either since I think that's the best I can do atm.
Might do some more effects and/or lightning changes, before I do those I will start animating the pictures though.

Nothing fancy, just some waving grass and a breathing animation on braixen maybe.
That would bring us to the thing I'm doing right now, cutting everything into peaces to make it usable for animating.

I think this is the longest and most annoying step about preparing the work on those animation.
The title screens wont have too many parts since the animation wont be too fancy, but it's annoying nonetheless.






So in the end it should only take me a few days to finish those.

After that I will start fixing some of the bugs and grammar errors left in the game and it should be ready to upload it as the public version.

I wont upload it until the end of the month though so my patrons have something like a reward for supporting me, beeing able to play the game a month before public release.
I also want to try making one additional H-Scene Animation until then as additional reward.

The animation was actually supposed to be part of the game but after rewriting the H-Scene a couple of times to make it sound acceptable it didn't fit in anymore, so I left it out.





This was just the sketch that I used for the first few tests of the game, but I plan to color it, cut it into usable peaces, make a skeleton out of it and animate it properly.
It would be cool if I could get it done and upload it as a short hq video reward for my patrons before end of the month, I'm not too sure about how much I get done though since I start working again this month and there's some constructions on my apartment going on that could get bigger problems.
Worst that could happen would be that I have to move out till end of the year, but let's not be too negative here. xD

I got more support than I expected with the patreon release of the demo what actually really surprised me.
I know it's not the world, but I'm still happy about all the support, sharing and attention my work got. This is supposed to be something like a thank-you for your interest. :>

So I can't promise anything, but let's hope I'll get this done! :D

One last thing, I know that the blog here isn't the best spot to post updates since it get's the least attention, but I dont want to post anything on Patreon or FA as long as I don't actually have anything to upload.
I thought about removing this blog since it's pretty much just laying around, but for now I guess I'll just keep it and post my random thoughts like this one here until I change my mind. xD

If you didn't play the game yet you can download it at my patreon over here:

If you want to wait for the public release I'll see you there. :D
Thank you for your interest and sorry for the long post. ;3
