November Ramble
🕑 Added 2024-11-30 21:28:13 +0000 UTCThe current ETA for the next build is roughly 3 weeks from now, just before Christmas.
Or as early as I can cobble something I'm happy enough with together, seeing as I'm unlikely to get in everything I wanted at this point.
I'll probably be adjusting the scope of the build accordingly. Which is a shame/ironic given how much I've delayed things to try to make my plans work...
After that one, I'd like to try and get an additional build out by New Years, but I'll figure out how viable that is and what it will look like after handling the first release.
As well as releasing them here, I'll also be messaging download links for the next 2 builds to all patrons who were pledged during the month of November, in case anyone wishes to cancel. Know that you'll still get the builds if that's the only reason you were supporting this month.
Hello all,
Apologies once more for non existent communications. As you probably suspected, you're not missing out on much. I tend to only feel comfortable posting when there's at least something to share. I mistakenly thought I could have a basic post like this out about 2 weeks ago, but there's always something, and here I am scrambling for minutes at the end of the month again. Wish I could say I was slacking off & kicking my feet up, but I'm far too stressed and sleep deprived for that. And now, I get the pleasure of working through the holidays yet again, the one thing I was determined to prevent this year.
Clearly not determined enough.
Now, I'm pretty much in the same situation as last month as far as things to show off are concerned. I have just one script left that I'm finishing up to be sent off for recording, then I'll be spending the next 2 weeks rendering - so that's where I'll have more frequent previews to show. I had planned to do more renders in between getting scripts done, but I'm hopeless at multi tasking and found putting that on the back burner to be more productive, even if I don't have anything to show for it right now.
Anyway, enough of the typical "woe is me", it's not much but here are one or two things of potential interest:
Tiffany vs Female Zombie [Makeout] Combat Sex Scene now has voice lines:
As always, these lines come courtesy of the wonderful TheVoiceVixxen :)
Sorry it took me all month to finally get this out to you all.
I did feel myself starting to get a bit burned out in between writing scripts, cutting up audio lines, and creating bonus content this month, so I did switch things up for just a little bit to work on the actual game, inserting a new Trait:
Well, technically two Traits:
The idea started out as a basic perk to allow Tiffany to drink some alcohol without immediately triggering drunk effects, including the immersive visual effects some might understandably just find annoying - when all they're trying to do is get access to the Stat Point Reallocation feature via a Respecberry Cocktail:
But then I thought it'd be much more mechanically interesting if doing so locks you out of the choice of making drunkenness even worse for Tiffany, but for debatably better stat increases:
So you have to chose now :)
And speaking of, here's a new cocktail item Tiffany can cook at Rank 2 designed to do the same thing but for Reallocating Perk Points:
This will also be a helpful item for players with ongoing save files, as I plan to keep adding additional Perks/Traits to add further variety to Tiffany's potential gameplay builds as game builds keep rolling out... or sometimes barely dawdling out... But I am working on stuff I swear...
Keep in mind, some perks/traits can't be reset, for either technical reasons with how the perk is set up, to by design to prevent exploits. I'm still doing some testing, but I'll put the final list in the patch notes.
^Of course, she won't get drunk off one drink if she takes the new Heavyweight Drinker perk. :)
Unfortunately those tidbits are the only things worth showing off right now. More render previews incoming though, once I finally move on from my current tasks in the coming days.
Also, while it might no longer make it in time for this year, I will be adding the "Hitomi, Vanessa & Jasper (Day 2 Night - Bath Time)" sex scene into the game before I move on to v0.11. Thank you to everyone in the $3+ tier who voted in that poll.
And finally, the usual reminder to join the discord server if you haven't already...
Once again, apologies for the lack of substantive content previews & thank you to all who continue to support me & the game.
~ Jim

Don't worry, I never get total burnout. That's the benefit of being able to work on everything. If one thing is getting too tiring, I can swap to another task that works a different side of my brain to give me a break. Like how I worked on some perk stuff recently, even though I'm not at the point in my dev cycle where that is the focus.
